Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the urn body (interior), lid, and brew basket with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.
- Placement: Place the coffee urn on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from walls and other appliances to ensure proper ventilation. Ensure the power cord can reach a grounded electrical outlet without being stretched.
- Assemble: Insert the brew basket into the urn. Ensure the spigot is securely tightened and in the closed position.
Operating Instructions
- Fill with Water: Remove the lid and fill the urn with cold, fresh water up to the desired level, not exceeding the maximum fill line. The water level indicator on the side will assist you.
- Add Coffee Grounds: Place the desired amount of coarse-ground coffee into the brew basket. For best results, use approximately 0.5 lbs (225g) of coffee for a full 10L (60 cup) batch. Do not use fine-ground coffee as it may clog the filter.
- Secure Lid: Place the lid securely on the urn. Ensure it is properly seated to prevent steam from escaping.
- Plug In and Brew: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Flip the ON/OFF switch to the 'ON' position. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the brewing process has begun.
- Brewing Time: The urn will brew 60 cups (10L) in approximately 40 minutes. The brewing indicator light will turn off when brewing is complete, and the urn will automatically switch to the "Keep Warm" function.
- Dispensing Coffee: To dispense coffee, push the spigot lever down. Release the lever to stop the flow.
- Keep Warm: The urn will maintain the coffee at an optimal serving temperature for several hours.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your coffee urn.
- Daily Cleaning:
- Unplug the urn and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Remove the lid and brew basket. Discard used coffee grounds.
- Wash the brew basket, lid, and interior of the urn with warm, soapy water. Use a soft brush or sponge to remove any coffee residue.

- Spigot Cleaning: Periodically, disassemble the spigot (if removable) and clean all components to prevent clogs and ensure proper flow. Refer to the product diagram for spigot disassembly instructions if available.
- Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) can build up inside the urn, affecting performance. Descale the urn every 1-3 months, depending on water hardness and usage.
- Fill the urn with a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water.
- Turn on the urn and allow the solution to heat for 20-30 minutes (do not brew).
- Turn off and unplug the urn. Let the solution sit for another 30 minutes.
- Drain the solution through the spigot.
- Rinse the urn thoroughly by filling it with clean water and draining it several times to remove any vinegar odor or taste.
