Operating Instructions
- Fill with Water: Pour cold water into the urn, ensuring it does not exceed the "MAX" fill line. Use the internal or external water level markings for accurate measurement. The 6L model brews approximately 40-45 cups.
- Add Coffee Grounds: Place desired amount of medium-ground coffee into the filter basket. Do not use fine-ground coffee as it may clog the filter. No paper filters are required.
- Secure the Lid: Place the lid on the urn and twist it clockwise to lock it securely in place. This prevents accidental spills and maintains heat.
- Power On: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Flip the On/Off switch to the "On" position. The red "Heating" indicator light will illuminate.
- Brewing Process: The urn will begin heating and percolating. Brewing typically takes 30-40 minutes for a full pot. Once brewing is complete, the red "Heating" light will turn off, and the orange "Keep Warm" light will illuminate, indicating the coffee is ready to serve and will be maintained at an optimal temperature.
- Dispensing Coffee: To dispense, press the spigot lever backward for a quick pour, or lift it upward to lock it in the open position for continuous dispensing. Release the lever to stop the flow.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your coffee urn.
- Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the urn and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Disassemble: Remove the lid, filter basket, and percolating stem. Discard used coffee grounds.
- Wash Components: Wash the lid, filter basket, and percolating stem in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
- Clean Urn Interior: Wash the interior of the urn with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the stainless steel. Rinse thoroughly.
- Clean Urn Exterior: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the urn body in water.
- Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits may build up. Descale the urn periodically (e.g., monthly or as needed based on water hardness) using a commercial descaling solution or a mixture of white vinegar and water. Follow the descaling product's instructions or fill the urn with a 1:1 solution of white vinegar and water, brew a cycle, let it sit for an hour, then rinse thoroughly multiple times.
- Spigot Maintenance: If the spigot becomes clogged or needs replacement, refer to the video below for detailed instructions.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Coffee is weak/watery. | Insufficient coffee grounds, too coarse grind, or too much water. | Increase coffee grounds, use a medium grind, or reduce water volume. |
| Coffee is too strong/bitter. | Too many coffee grounds, too fine grind, or over-extraction. | Reduce coffee grounds, use a coarser grind, or ensure proper water-to-coffee ratio. |
| Urn not heating. | Not plugged in, power switch off, or electrical issue. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged in and the On/Off switch is in the "On" position. Check power outlet. |
| Spigot is dripping. | Spigot not fully closed or internal seal issue. | Ensure the spigot lever is fully released. If dripping persists, the spigot may need cleaning or replacement (refer to Maintenance section). |
| Brewing is noisy or vibrating. | Normal operation for percolators, especially during initial heating. | This is typically normal. Ensure the urn is on a stable surface. |
