HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF

APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

EXTENSION CORDS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer extension cord is used,

1) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and

2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a groundingtype 3-wire cord, and

3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on unintentionally

(especially by children).

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded while in use.

CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to properly ground outlets only

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS – US ONLY

The appliance has a plug that looks like Figure A. An adaptor, as shown in Figure B, should be used for connecting a 3-prong grounding plug to a 2-wire receptacle. The grounding tab, which extends from the adaptor, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded receptacle as shown in Figure C, using a metal screw.

OPERATION

Before first use

• Remove packaging materials, labels and stickers from the coffee urn.

• Clean the coffee urn thoroughly before using for the first time ( Cleaning).

NOTE: To clear the coffee urn of any residue, fill to the maximum level mark on the side of the tank

(6) with fresh water. Run a full brewing cycle. Repeat this procedure at least once.

Using the coffee urn

Intended use: the coffee urn is intended for brewing coffee and for keeping coffee warm over an extended period of time.

• Pour desired amount of water into the water tank

(6) (ill. a ).

NOTE: For the best results, always use cold, fresh tap water.

• The water level can be monitored using the embossed water level markings on the side of the tank

(6). DO NOT OVERFILL THE COFFEE URN.

• Insert percolator tube

(5) in heat well (14) (ill. b ). Attach coffee basket (4) to percolator tube

(5) (ill. b ). Do not use the urn without having inserted both tube and basket!

• According to the chart below, measure out desired amount coffee grounds in relationship to water in tank

(6). Amounts can be adjusted according to taste:

Water level

40 cups (10l)

Amount of ground coffee

2 - 2½ cups

30 cups

20 cups

10 cups

(7.5l)

(5l)

(2.5l)

1¾ - 2 cups

1 - 1¾ cups

½ cup

•

NOTE: We recommend using coffee that has been ground specifically for use in a percolator-type coffee maker. However, coffee marked “For All Coffee Makers” is acceptable. If using a coffee grinder and whole beans, percolator coffee should be a coarse grind. Finely ground coffee may cause the basket to overflow and result in grounds in coffee. Placing a flattened paper coffee filter in the coffee basket

(4) will help prevent grounds from flowing into coffee.

OPERATION

• Wet coffee basket

(4) to prevent smaller/finer coffee grounds from sifting through into water.

• Fill ground coffee into coffee basket

(4). Do not spill coffee grounds in the percolator tube

(5) (ill. c ). Spread coffee evenly in coffee basket (4).

• Place the lid

(2) on the coffee urn and turn until it locks in place (ill. d ).

• Connect the power cable

(13) with the power socket (12) (ill. e ). Insert power plug

(13) into a standard 120 V AC wall outlet. The appliance will automatically begin brewing. The ready indicator

(11) lights blue to indicate that the brewing is under process (ill. f ).

NOTICE: To avoid damage to the appliance, do not plug in urn when there is no water or liquid inside. The appliance is equipped with an automatic shut-off function if not enough water remains in the appliance. This may, however, shorten the life of the appliance.

How the brewing process works

The coffee urn will now heat up the water in the tank

(6). Boiling water will move up the percolator tube

(5), into the coffee basket (4). Water runs through the ground coffee and slowly drips back into the water tank

(6) (ill. g ). Please allow the coffee to brew for about one minute per cup, i.e., the brewing time for 40 cups will take around 40 minutes.

WARNING! Burn hazard: To avoid accidental contact with hot steam and boiling water:

• Never open the lid

(2) while brewing, and

• Wait a minimum of 5 minutes before opening the lid

(2).

Coffee is ready to serve

• When the brewing cycle is complete, the percolation stops and the ready indicator

(11) changes color to green to indicate coffee is ready to serve.

•

To serve coffee: press a cup against the dispensing bar (9); remove cup when it is filled to desired level (ill. h ).

• The remaining coffee level can be read from the coffee level indicator

(8) (ill. i ).

OPERATION

• The coffee urn will automatically switch to the Keep Warm cycle, and will maintain fresh, hot coffee until it is unplugged. If brewed coffee is to be kept warm for a long period of time, percolator tube

(5) and coffee basket (4) should be removed after brewing is complete. This will prevent bitter oils in the coffee grounds from affecting the flavor of the coffee. Temporarily disconnect the power plug

(13) from the wall outlet, and wait 5 minutes before carefully lifting up the lid

(2). Remove percolator tube and coffee basket, using oven mitts. Then reattach the lid and reconnect power plug with the wall outlet.

• After coffee has been dispensed, disconnect the power plug

(13) from the wall outlet then remove from the coffee urn and allow the urn to cool before cleaning (ill. j ).

NOTE: To reheat coffee, remove coffee basket (4) and percolator tube (5). Lock the lid in place and 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.

To heat water

Use the coffee urn to heat water for making tea, instant soups, hot cocoa, etc.

NOTE: Percolator tube (2) and coffee basket (4) are not required for heating water.

• Pour desired amount of cold, fresh tap water into the water tank

(6) (ill. a ). The water level can be monitored using the embossed water level markings on the side of the tank. Fill in a minimum of 20 cups. DO NOT OVERFILL THE COFFEE URN.

• Place the lid

(5) on the coffee urn and turn until it locks in place (ill. d ).

• Connect the power cable

(13) with the power socket (12) (ill. e ). Insert power plug

(13) into a standard 120 V AC wall outlet. The unit will automatically begin boiling the water. The water is hot when the ready indicator

(11) changes colour to green

(ill. f ).
