coffee maker (36, 55 & 100 cup urns)
caution: To prevent personal injury or electric shock, do not immerse coffee maker, its base, its cord or plug in
water or other liquid.
1. Before using coffeemaker for the first time, clean it thoroughly. Refer to Regular Cleaning Instructions in
this booklet.
2. Always use coffee maker on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge. Be sure hands are
dry.
3. With basket and stem removed, fill coffeemaker with COLD water to desired cup level. Marks on inside
of coffeemaker show cup levels. Do not fill past maximum cup level.
4. Place stem into heating unit well in bottom of coffeemaker, then put basket onto stem. To basket, add
electric perk ground coffee or coffee ground for all coffeemakers. See Chart for recommended
amounts of ground coffee to use depending on number of cups being made. A filter is not needed in
the bottom of the basket. Spread grounds evenly in basket. Use standard measuring cups to measure
coffee. Do not let grounds fall into stem opening. Do not use “Drip” or finely ground coffee as basket
can flood. The amount of ground coffee recommended will make mild-strength coffee which most
people prefer. The amount of coffee used can be adjusted to suit your preference.
special note on grinding coffee beans
•If grinding your own coffee beans, grind to medium coarseness for best results. DO NOT grind too fine
(powder-like) as this can cause basket to flood.

5. Place cover on the coffeemaker and turn to secure in place inside handles. Note arrows on cover for
correct turning. To reduce coffee spills, especially if coffee maker is tipped over, make sure cover has
been turned clockwise until the cover is completely secured into the handle slots. Care should be used
when moving the coffeemaker as the cover only temporarily reduces coffee from spilling if
coffeemaker is tipped over.
