Always rinse the urn immediately after each use.
Add small quantity of hot water, brush sides and rinse with hot water until it runs clean.
Urn is now ready for next batch.
At end of each day clean and brush urn several times, then rinse thoroughly with hot
water.
Remove clean-out cap at the end of the coffee faucet (or take apart faucets which have
no caps) and scrub pipe leading to center of urn. Clean urn gauge glass with brush and
urn cleaner. Rinse!
Scrub the faucet, then rinse it thoroughly with hot water.
Place a gallon or more of fresh water in the urn until next use.
Remove cover and clean. Replace cover, and leave partly open.
ALWAYS REMEMBER TO EMPTY, AND RINSE THE URN WITH HOT WATER BEFORE
USING AGAIN.
Be sure that the outer jacket is full of water.
Turn on the heat and fill the urn liner 3/4 full of water; use only urn cleaning compounds,
following manufacturer’s directions; mix thoroughly and let stand about 30 minutes.
Clean the gauge glass, faucet pipe, plugs, etc. using long thin brush. Use urn cleaning
solution for scrubbing. Take faucet valve apart and clean thoroughly. Clean all tubes
well.
Scrub inside of urn and inside of cover with long handled brush. Be sure to clean the
“lug nut” in the base of urn liner.
Rinse the inside of the urn three or four times with hot water - scrubbing each time. Also
rinse parts well. Repeat until all traces of foreign odor and cleaning solution are
removed.
Leave a gallon or more of fresh water in the urn with the cover partly open until the next
use. If cold water is used, allow urn to cool to prevent cracking liner.
The urn baskets may be cleaned by immersing them in urn cleaner solution and scrub-
bing with a stiff brush. Rinse thoroughly and let dry. Sprayheads should be checked to
see that all holes are open. If any are clogged, remove sprayhead and use stiff wire to
open.
Don’t use soap, scouring powders, or abrasives to clean coffee brewing equipment.
