4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Brewing Coffee

1. Fill with Water: Remove the lid and brew basket. Fill the urn with cold, fresh water up to the desired level, indicated by the water gauge. Do not overfill.
2. Add Coffee Grounds: Place the brew basket with the stainless steel filter into the urn. Add the desired amount of coarse-ground coffee into the filter. Do not use fine-ground coffee as it may clog the filter.
3. Secure Lid: Place the lid securely on the urn. Ensure it is properly seated to prevent spills and maintain heat.
4. Start Brewing: Flip the power switch to the 'ON' position. The red indicator light will illuminate, signifying that the urn is heating and brewing.
5. Brewing Process: The urn will begin heating the water and dripping it through the coffee grounds. Brewing time will vary based on the volume of water. The red light will turn off when brewing is complete, and the orange 'Keep Warm' light will illuminate.

4.2 Dispensing Coffee

The urn features a two-way dispensing spigot.

• Single Serve: Push the spigot lever in one direction (e.g., downwards) to dispense a single serving. Release the lever to stop the flow.
• Continuous Flow: Push the spigot lever in the opposite direction (e.g., upwards) to lock it into an open position for continuous dispensing. Push it back to the center to stop the flow.
• Ensure a cup or carafe is placed under the spigot before dispensing. The removable drip tray helps catch any drips.

4.3 Keep Warm Function

After brewing, the urn automatically switches to 'Keep Warm' mode, indicated by the orange light. This function maintains the coffee temperature between 90-98 ℃ (194-208.4 ℉).

5. Maintenance

5.2 Descaling

Mineral deposits from water can build up over time, affecting performance. Descale the urn regularly, depending on water hardness and frequency of use.

3. Turn the urn 'ON' and allow the solution to heat for approximately 20-30 minutes. Do not brew.
