Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to brew coffee with your FOHERE Commercial Coffee Urn:

  1. Add Water: Pour cold, fresh water into the urn. Use the water level viewing window on the side to ensure you do not exceed the maximum fill line (15L).
  2. Add Coffee Grounds: Place the desired amount of ground coffee into the permanent stainless steel filter basket. For best results, use coarse to medium-coarse grounds. Do not overfill the filter basket.
  3. Secure Lid: Place the lid securely on the urn.
  4. Plug In and 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.
  5. Brewing Process: The urn will begin heating the water and brewing the coffee. The brewing process for 15 liters can take approximately 60 minutes.
  6. Keep Warm Function: Once the coffee reaches its optimal brewing temperature (around 100°C), the red 'Heating' light will turn off, and the orange 'Keep Warm' light will illuminate. The urn will automatically maintain the coffee at a serving temperature (between 70°C and 100°C).
  7. Dispense Coffee: To dispense coffee, place a cup under the faucet and push the lever down for a continuous flow, or lift it up for a controlled pour. The two-level spout allows for regulated flow.

Maintenance and Cleaning

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

  1. Disconnect Power: Always unplug the urn from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
  2. Empty and Rinse: Empty any remaining coffee. Remove the lid and filter basket. Rinse the interior of the urn and the filter basket with warm water.
  3. Wash Components: Wash the urn interior, lid, and filter basket with warm, soapy water using a soft cloth or sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the stainless steel.
  4. Clean Faucet: Ensure the faucet is clean and free of coffee residue. You may need to run warm water through it.
  5. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the urn with a damp cloth, then dry thoroughly.
  6. Descaling (Monthly or as needed): Over time, mineral deposits can build up. To descale, fill the urn with a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. Turn on the urn and let it heat for 15-20 minutes (do not brew coffee). Turn off, unplug, and let it sit for an hour. Drain the solution and rinse the urn thoroughly several times with fresh water to remove any vinegar odor.
  7. Dishwasher Safety: The FOHERE 15L Commercial Coffee Urn is NOT dishwasher safe. Hand wash all components.
