3. Setup

1. Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts, including the urn body, lid, percolating stem, and filter basket, are present and undamaged.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the lid, percolating stem, and filter basket in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe the interior and exterior of the urn body with a damp cloth.
3. Assemble Internal Components: Place the percolating stem into the center well at the bottom of the urn. Ensure it is seated correctly.
4. Insert Filter Basket: Place the filter basket onto the percolating stem.
5. Add Water: Fill the urn with cold, fresh water up to the desired level, observing the internal measuring lines. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
6. Add Coffee Grounds: For coffee, add the appropriate amount of medium to fine ground coffee directly into the filter basket. Do not use paper filters. For tea, place loose leaf tea or tea bags into the filter basket.
7. Secure Lid: Place the lid onto the urn and twist to lock it securely in place.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Connect Power: Plug the urn into a standard electrical outlet.
2. Turn On: Locate the power switch (often on the lower side) and turn it to the 'ON' position. The heating indicator light will illuminate.
3. Set Temperature: Adjust the thermostat dial to your desired temperature. The urn offers a temperature range of 30-110°C. For brewing coffee, set it to 100°C. For keeping warm, a setting between 60-90°C is typically used.
4. Brewing Process: The urn will begin heating the water, which will then percolate through the coffee grounds. The brewing process typically takes 30-40 minutes, depending on the volume.
5. Keep Warm: Once brewing is complete, the urn will automatically switch to the 'Keep Warm' function, maintaining the beverage at the selected temperature. The 'Keep Warm' indicator light will illuminate.
6. Dispensing: To dispense, place a cup under the faucet. For a single serving, press the lever back. For continuous flow, lift the lever upwards. Release or push down the lever to stop dispensing.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your percolating urn.

Daily Cleaning:

1. Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the urn and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Empty Grounds: Remove the lid, filter basket, and percolating stem. Discard used coffee grounds.
3. Wash Components: Wash the lid, percolating stem, and filter basket in warm, soapy water. These parts are dishwasher safe. Rinse thoroughly.
4. Wipe Urn Interior/Exterior: Wipe the interior of the urn with a damp cloth to remove any residue. Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
5. Dry Thoroughly: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing.

Deep Cleaning (Descaling):

Over time, mineral deposits can build up inside the urn, affecting performance. Descale the urn every 1-3 months, depending on water hardness and usage.

1. Fill the urn with a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water.
2. Run a brewing cycle without coffee grounds.
3. After the cycle, let the solution sit in the urn for 30 minutes to an hour.
4. Drain the solution and rinse the urn thoroughly with fresh water several times to remove any vinegar odor.
