HOW TO USE
- Clean the filter basket, cover, percolator tube, and the inside of the tank with a non-abrasive detergent.
- Pour cool water into the urn to fill at least half of the total capacity of the urn.
- Cover the filter basket with the basket cover.
- Center the percolator tube into the basket and tray. Make sure that the base of the tube is positioned securely in the well of the urn.
- Center the filter basket into the percolator tube and place ground coffee in the basket. Put the basket cover back on and put the cover on the urn.
- Plug the cord into your electrical outlet and turn the power switch on. The switch will light up.
- When the indicator lamp lights up, the brewing process is complete.
- The second heating system will start to operate automatically to keep the coffee warm.
- When there are only about 3 cups of coffee left in the urn, turn the power switch off and unplug the cord from the outlet.
- To reheat cold coffee in the urn, there must be at least 12 cups of coffee in the tank to reheat. Simply re-plug the cord back into the electrical outlet and turn the power switch on.
SEDIMENT REMOVAL
On areas of the heating element, hard water will cause chalk and limestone to accumulate over time. It is recommended that you clean the percolator and remove the residue.
- Pour 100 ml of fresh lemon juice into the urn body.
- Wait 5-6 minutes to allow the lemon juice to run through the sediments.
- You can use a soft bristle brush to clean the heating element.
- Repeat steps 1-3 until limestone is removed.
- Use a dry cloth to wipe the residual liquid.
- Pour clean water into the urn and rinse until the lemon smell is gone.
