Caring for the Coffee Urn

Cleaning Instructions

WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not
immerse urn, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
1. After each use and before washing, unplug power
cord from wall outlet and allow the unit to cool.
2. Carefully remove the tank assembly off the base.
Remove the lid and all internal parts. Parts, coffee
grounds, and remaining coffee may still be hot.
3. Wash the inside of the coffee tank and the parts
with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Do not dry
the inside of the urn with a cloth, since lint may
remain inside the urn. Do NOT immerse the body
of the coffee urn in water.
4. Wipe the outside of the coffee urn base and tank
with a damp cloth and dry with a towel. Store the
coffee urn tank with the lid off.
5. To clean the serving spout, remove the faucet
assembly by unscrewing the cover. Disassemble
the faucet assembly by pushing up on the silicone
faucet seal and sliding off the faucet lever. Wash
all parts in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry.
To clean the spout enclosure, pour warm, soapy
water in the tank and allow to drain while inserting
a long, narrow brush in the bottom tank opening
and the bottom spout opening. Rinse and allow
to dry. Reassemble all parts.
How to Remove Mineral Deposits and Buildup
If the urn is used daily, follow these instructions
every other week.
1. Fill the urn with 1 quart cold water and 1 quart
white vinegar (if a white mineral buildup has
formed inside the unit, use an additional 2 cups
of vinegar). Assemble with lid, pump tube, and
coffee basket.
How to Remove Discoloration
1. To lighten discolored metal inside the urn, fill the
urn to the 45-, 65-, or 110-cup level (depending
on the model).
2. Assemble with pump tube and coffee basket.
Place 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon cream of
tartar into the basket.
6. To clean the coffee level indicator, first remove the
coffee level tube. Unscrew the coffee level tube
cap and lift out the tube. Wash tube in warm,
soapy water with a long, narrow brush and rinse.
Next, wet the brush with warm, soapy water and
insert in the inner bottom coffee level tube
opening. Repeat two or three times. Replace the
coffee level tube and secure with the tube cap.
Fill tank with clean, hot water until coffee level
tube is filled and then drain.
7. To clean the pump tube, remove pump tube from
urn. Wash in warm, soapy water with a long,
narrow brush and rinse.
8. After repeated use, there may be some coffee
stains and accumulation of oils that can cause a
bitter taste. Periodically use a coffee-stain remover
or special cleanser and follow package directions
for cleaning. Rinse well after cleaning. A scouring
pad may be used to clean the heat well. DO NOT
use abrasive cleaners on any other part of the
coffee urn.

When percolating has stopped, let the solution sit
for an additional 15 minutes.
3. Unplug and drain the urn. Let cool and then clean
(see "Cleaning Instructions").
