How to Make Coffee
7. Place the stem assembly, spring side up, into the
tank. Place the basket on the stem. Make sure
the stem is properly seated in the heat well in the
center or the urn may not percolate.
8. Place the lid on the body of the urn so that the
locking tabs are at the front and back of the urn.
9. Holding the knob, turn the lid clockwise until
the locking tabs are fully engaged inside the
fold-down handles on both sides of the urn.
Make sure that the lid logo is facing forward.
10. Plug in the urn. Push the ON (I)/OFF (O) switch to
the ON (I) position. The red ON indicator light will
illuminate and coffee will begin brewing within
minutes. Do not plug in the urn when there
is no water or liquid inside.
11. When the brewing cycle is complete, percolation
stops and the green READY light illuminates to
indicate the coffee is ready to serve.
12. Press cup against the coffee dispensing bar.

13. The urn will automatically switch to the Keep
Warm cycle and will maintain fresh, hot coffee
until it is unplugged or switched to the ON (I)/
OFF (O) position. If brewed coffee is to be kept
warm for a long period of time, the basket and
stem should be removed as soon as brewing is
complete. This will prevent bitter oils in the coffee
grounds from affecting the flavor of the coffee.
CAUTION! Burn Hazard: The knob and metal urn
parts will be hot. Use a pot holder or oven mitt to
remove the lid, basket, and stem.
14. After coffee has been dispensed, or when you
want to clean urn, push the ON (I)/OFF (O) switch
to the OFF (O) position. Disconnect plug from
wall outlet and allow the urn to cool before
washing.
NOTES:
• To make additional coffee, rinse the lid, coffee
basket, stem, and tank with cold water and repeat
steps 1 through 11.
• To reheat coffee, remove the basket and stem.
Lock the lid in place, plug in the unit, and turn on
for 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the amount of
coffee remaining. Do not reheat if less than 20
cups are left in the urn.
