or dishcloth.
4. Rinse thoroughly to remove soapy residue.
5. Wipe body clean with a damp cloth.
Ø Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
Ø Do not immerse the appliance, cord or plug in water at any time.
TO MAKE COFFEE:
1. Place the urn upright on a dry, sturdy and
heat-resistant surface.
2. Fill the urn with cold water in accordance with the
amount of coffee needed. See the “Coffee/Tea
Figure A
Measuring Chart” on page 6 for reference.
3. Insert the ‘Stem’ into the ‘Stainless Steel Coffee Basket’
(see Figure A), then place the ‘Stem’ into the ‘Stem
Well’ (see Figure B).
4. Spread the desired amount of ground coffee evenly
into the ‘Stainless Steel Coffee Basket’ (see

and the urn will begin brewing coffee.
7. When coffee is ready to serve, the ‘Ready Indicator Light’ will illuminate.
NOTE:
If the urn is to be in use for several hours, it is best to remove the ‘Stainless Steel Coffee
Basket’ prior to serving coffee. This will prevent the oil of the coffee from dripping down,
which may create a bitter flavor over an extended period of time. Use extreme caution
when removing the ‘Stainless Steel Coffee Basket’ as it will be hot.

• Never open the ‘Lock-on Lid’ while the urn is in the brewing process.
• When filling with water, never exceed the ‘Maximum Water Line’ inside of

3. Insert the ‘Stem’ into the ‘Stainless Steel Coffee Basket’ (see Figure A on page
4), then place the ‘Stem’ into the ‘Stem Well’ (see Figure B on page 4).
4. Add the desired amount of tea or tea bags into the ‘Stainless Steel Coffee
Basket’ (see “Coffee/Tea Measuring Chart” on page 6 for reference). The
amount of tea recommended will produce mild tea. Adjust the amount of tea
to match individual preference.
5. Twist the ‘Lock-on Lid’ in place on top of the urn. Make sure the ‘Lock-on Lid’
has been turned clockwise until it is completely locked into the handle slots.
6. Plug the power cord into a wall outlet. The ‘Power Indicator Light’ will
illuminate and the urn will begin brewing tea.
7. When tea is ready to serve, the ‘Ready Indicator Light’ will illuminate.

BREWING FOR BEST FLAVOR
• For best results, use fresh ground coffee.
• Never reuse coffee grounds, the results will suffer dramatically.
• Store coffee grounds in a cool, dry place away from heat or sunlight. Do not
store in a refrigerator or freezer, as coffee will absorb the odors and attributes
of other foods around it. It is best stored in an airtight container that is not
clear.
• To ensure the best taste and results, wait until the urn has finished brewing
before pouring the first cup.
• Coffee is mostly water, so be sure to use the best water available. For best
taste results, use filtered or bottled water.
• To ensure the freshest taste possible, keep the urn clean at all times. Be sure to
clean after every use and rinse the urn and coffee basket out before use.
• If the water in your area is particularly hard, run a strong solution of vinegar
through the urn to clean out any mineral deposits after each use. Rinse
thoroughly to ensure that all vinegar solution is removed prior to the next use.
