OPERATION

The Coffee Urn is designed to keep liquids hot and therefore should be used only to keep coffee and other liquid drinks hot. Liquids must be hot before placing in this urn.
All coffee urns can be used with either safety paste burners or with the appropriate electric heating elements. The hot plates are self-regulating, without a thermostat, to protect against overheating and at the same time save energy.

For optimum results from your Coffee Urn please follow the instructions below:

1. Pre-heat the urn with hot water for about 10 minutes (hot water from the tap will do).
2. Drain off the water and fill the urn with hot coffee or other hot drink.
3. Place the Coffee Urn on its stand and plug the mains plug into the socket.
4. Always keep the urn 75% full to prevent the liquid from boiling. If the liquid falls below that level, either top up with more hot coffee or other hot drink, or turn off the heating source.

Sterno fuel heating:
If heating the urn with Sterno gel fuel, allow the fuel to burn for about 1 minute before placing in the burner holder, in order to check that it is burning correctly.

When heating the urn with Sterno fuel, the heating element must first be removed to avoid damage.

Heating element heating:
To heat the urn with the heating element, place the coffee urn on its stand and plug the heater plug into the socket.
Remember to ensure that there is sufficient liquid in the urn at all times.

The hot plate must always be in contact with the base of the coffee reservoir.

Place the hotplate in the stand from above. Route the lead downwards to the outside.

POSSIBLE OPERATING FAULTS

1. Coffee / drink is only lukewarm

Causes:

• Urn has not been pre-heated
  Reason: The hot liquid loses heat quickly on contact with cold metal
• The liquid was not hot enough when placed in the urn (e.g. lukewarm coffee)
• The heating element is not in contact with the base of the coffee reservoir

2. Liquid is boiling

Cause:

• The liquid level is too low. Either top up with more liquid or switch off the heating source

CLEANING AND DISASSEMBLY

Remove the mains plug from the socket

Do not pull out by the lead!

Allow the Coffee Urn to cool.
Lift the coffee reservoir off the stand.

The heating element can now be removed and cleaned with a damp cloth.

Please note: Never immerse the hot plate in water or clean it under a running tap.

LID ASSEMBLY

The plastic parts of the bayonet closure on the lid are easy to replace.
The lid unscrews completely and screws back together:

Assembly of lid from the bottom

place the plastic knob base on the end of the screw with the thread upwards

screw on the knob

Using a bayonet cap, the lid is screwed on the upturned edge of the body of the pot.

Instead of the upturned metal edge, older versions of the coffee urn have a plastic ring which is clipped onto the body of the pot. (For spare parts, please send an e-mail to info@wmf-hotel.de)

WARNINGS

Maximum machine safety is an integral WMF product characteristic to which we pay particular attention.
In spite of all our safety precautions, however, every machine is potentially hazardous if not operated properly.
This is why – for your own safety – we have summarised the warnings below.

Please also follow the safety instructions!
For your own safety, please observe the following instructions at all times:
Maintenance and repairs to electrical equipment and connecting leads should only be carried out by a specialist workshop or similarly qualified individual.
The integral safety devices should in no circumstances be "repaired", bypassed or altered by non-specialists. Tampering with the machine can create serious hazards for the user.

risk of burns and scalds from hot surfaces and in the dispensing area.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

GENERAL

• Only connect the machine to a correctly installed socket with mains voltage corresponding to the machine technical data (see rating plate and Operator's Manual for details).
• Never use the machine if the machine or power lead shows visible damage.
• When shutting down, always ensure that the main power switch is off and/or the plug is removed from the power socket.
• Remove the plug from the power socket if the machine is out of use for an extended period, if malfunctions occur or before cleaning the machine.
• Machines with electrical components should never be placed under running water or immersed in water.
• Keep power lead away from sources of heat.
• This machine is not for use out of doors.

MEASURES TO PREVENT CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE
Any technical device is a potential source of danger, especially when operated without supervision. We therefore recommend that the operator take appropriate action to prevent damage.
