FOR COMMERCIAL AND HOUSEHOLD USE  
The Melitta® Coffee Urn  
It is America’s classically styled, fully automatic Coffee Urn. It is  
crafted of durable stainless steel with a gleaming finish for lasting  
service and beauty. Its graceful, unique design and high polish  
make a perfect presentation at the buffet table.  
It brews hot rich coffee at a cup-a-minute speed, and automatically  
keeps it hot and fresh-tasting.  
Short Cord Instructions  
CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the  
risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or  
tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are available from  
local hardware stores and may be used if care is exercised in their  
use. If an extension cord is required, special care and caution is  
necessary. Also, (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension  
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the  
appliance, (2) should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (3) the  
cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the  
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or  
tripped over unintentionally.  
GROUNDED-TYPE PLUG: This appliance has a 3-prong  
grounded-type plug. This plug will only fit into an electrical outlet  
made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If the plug should  
fail to fit the outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt  
to defeat this safety feature.

ELECTRIC POWER: If the electric circuit is overloaded with other  
appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be  
operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

Using the Coffee Urn  
1. Wash the Coffee Urn thoroughly before using for the first time.  
(See “Care and Cleaning Instructions” section in this use and  
care guide.)  
2. Remove cover, pump tube, spreader, and basket. Check to  
see that spigot is closed. Use cold, fresh tap water to fill  
Coffee Urn. DO NOT OVERFILL OR UNDERFILL. Fill accord-  
ing to markings on inside of Urn for number of cups desired.  
Use cold tap water as the automatic brewing cycle is timed to  
begin with a cold water start.  
NOTE: Do not brew less than 20 cups of coffee.  
3. Wet basket to help keep small particles of coffee from sifting  
through. Add desired amount of regular or percolator grind  
coffee to basket. (Do not use drip or finely ground coffee.)  
The following chart suggests amount of coffee to use for medium  
brew; amounts can be varied to suit personal taste and particular  
coffees.

4. Place the basket on the pump tube and cover with spreader.  
(Make sure the spring is on the pump tube.) Then, by holding  
the top end of the pump tube, place it into the Coffee Urn.  
Make sure the bottom of the pump tube is properly seated on  
the perk well in the center.  
5. Replace the Urn cover and secure in position by turning cover  
clockwise until cover tabs fit into handle slots.  
6. Plug into 3-slot grounded 120 volt AC wall outlet. The Power  
ON light will come on. To avoid unnecessary strain on the  
heating mechanism, PLUG IN COFFEE URN AFTER THE  
WATER AND COFFEE ARE ADDED AND THE COVER IS  
SECURELY IN PLACE. NEVER PLUG IN COFFEE URN  
WITHOUT WATER INSIDE.

7. When coffee brewing is complete, percolating will stop and the  
READY light will come on. 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, SPREADER and pump  
tube when brewing is completed.  
REMOVE PARTS CAREFULLY: COFFEE URN AND PARTS  
WILL BE HOT! ALWAYS USE OVEN MITTS OR POT  
HOLDERS.  
8. The 2-way spigot allows you to pour one cup of coffee at a  
time by pressing down on the spigot lever. For continuous  
pouring, extend the spigot lever up.  
9. When finished, unplug and allow to cool, see CARE AND  
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS.  
NOTES:  
To make additional coffee, rinse the coffee urn and parts with  
cold water and repeat steps 1 through 7.  
To preserve taste it is not recommended to reheat coffee.  
Unplug the Urn when only 1 or 2 cups of coffee remain.  
Care and Cleaning  
1. After each use and before washing, unplug power cord from  
wall outlet and allow the unit to cool.  
2. Remove cover and all internal parts carefully - parts, coffee  
grounds, and remaining coffee may still be hot.  
3. Wash the inside of the coffee urn and the parts with warm,  
soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. DO NOT IMMERSE  
THE BASE OF THE COFFEE URN IN WATER. Pump tube  
(with spring), basket spreader, and cover with glass knob may  
be washed in the dishwasher. When washing the pump tube,  
make sure the WASHER on the bottom remains loose. If coffee  
grounds are trapped in this area hold the pump tube under  
running water or use a wooden tooth pick to remove them.  
4. It may be necessary to clean the glass knob from time to time.  
Wash the glass knob and nut using non-abrasive cleanser,  
rinse and dry with a towel. To replace the glass knob after  
cleaning, align the tabs on the glass knob with the notches in  
the hole of the cover and screw on the nut. NOTE: Tighten the  
nut using your hands only. Do not over tighten or place hot  
6
 
glass knob in cold water as this may crack or break the knob.  
5. Wipe outside with damp cloth and dry with a towel. Remove  
urn cover before storing.  
6. After repeated use, there may be some coffee stains and  
accumulation of oils that may cause a bitter taste. Periodically,  
use a coffee-stain remover or special cleanser (such as  
“Dip-it”) and follow package directions for cleaning. Rinse well  
after cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleansers or pads on  
outside, inside or any parts of the coffee urn as scratching will  
occur.  
Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above  
cleaning must be performed by a qualified appliance repair  
technician.
