used,
1)  The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-
supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great 
as the electrical rating of the appliance,
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension 
cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and

							How to Use
This product is for household use only.
GETTING STARTED
•	 Remove	all	plastic	 and	paper	 from	the	box.
•	 Remove	 and	save	 use	and	 care	 manual.
•	 Register	 your	warranty	 at	www.prodprotect.com/applica.
1.  Clean the coffee urn thoroughly before using for the first time 
(see CARE AND CLEANING).
2. Remove lid and basket. Check to make sure the spigot is 
closed.  Use cold, fresh tap water to fill water reservoir. Fill 
according to the water level markings on the inside of urn. 
Marks on inside of the urn show cup levels desired. Do not 
overfill or under fill.  
3. Wet the coffee basket to help keep small particles of coffee 
from sifting through. Add desired amount of regular or 
percolator grind coffee to basket.
4. Place basket on the percolator tube (make sure the spring is 
on the percolator tube). The percolator tube must be resting 
in the heating well (if not, coffee urn may not percolate).
5. Replace the lid and secure in position by turning lid 
clockwise until lid lock tabs fit into handle slots. To reduce 
coffee spills, make sure that the cover is completely locked 
into the handle slots.
The following chart suggests amount of coffee to use for 
medium brew; amounts can be varied to suit personal taste and 
particular coffees
1 cup brewed coffee = 5 fluid ounces  
*Use standard measuring cups 
6. Plug into a grounded, 3 prong plug, 120 V AC wall outlet.  
Do NOT plug the cord into outlet without water inside the 
urn. Coffee brewing begins within seconds and continues at 
a cup-a-minute speed.
7. When coffee brewing is complete, percolating will stop and 
the ready indicator light will illuminate. The urn 
automatically switches to “Keep Warm” setting to preserve 
fresh-tasting coffee at hot, ready-to-serve temperature. For 
best flavor, remove coffee basket and pump tube with oven 
mitt or pot holder when brewing is completed. Replace the 
cover making sure it is completely locked into the handle 
slots.
REMOVE PARTS CAREFULLY: URN AND PARTS WILL BE HOT!
8. Unplug from wall outlet and allow the coffee urn to cool 
before washing.
Caution: Remove Parts Carefully—coffee urn and parts will be 
hot!  Always unplug the urn when only 2 cups of coffee 
remain.
Note: “KEEP WARM” function continues operating until you 
unplug urn.
Care and Cleaning
This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to 
qualified service personnel.
Make sure your urn is unplugged and cool before cleaning.
1. Remove lid, coffee basket and percolator tube carefully—
grounds and remaining coffee may still be warm.
2. Wash the inside of the coffee urn and the removable parts 
with warm, soapy water after every use. DO NOT immerse 
the base in water.  
3. When washing the percolator tube make sure the washer on 
the bottom remains loose. If coffee grounds are trapped in 
this area, hold the percolator tube under running water or 
with a wooden toothpick to remove them.
4. Wipe outside of the coffee urn with a damp cloth and dry 
with a towel. Do not use abrasive metal scouring pads or 
cleansers on the outside of the coffee urn to avoid scratches.
