Frequently Asked Questions - FSU236 Farberware

How do I clean the coffee urn after use?

Unplug and let cool. Remove cover, basket, and pump tube. Wash urn body with water and detergent without immersing base. Wash cover, basket, and pump tube in dishwasher. Rinse all parts and dry. Store with cover off.

What type of coffee grind should I use?

Use regular or percolator grind coffee. The manual recommends wetting the basket to prevent fine particles from sifting through.

How much coffee should I use for a full urn?

For 55 cups, use 1 pound can of coffee. For smaller amounts, refer to the chart: e.g., 30 cups use 3 cups of ground coffee. Adjust to taste.

Can I make hot punch in this coffee urn?

Yes, the manual states that hot fruit or wine punches may be prepared in this Coffee Urn.

Why is my coffee not brewing or the indicator light not coming on?

Ensure the urn is plugged in after adding water and coffee. Check that the pump tube is properly seated in the center well and the cover is secured. Also check that the spigot is closed.

How do I remove coffee grounds lodged in the pump tube washer?

Remove the pump tube and rinse under running water or use a wooden pick to dislodge grounds. The washer must remain loose—do not force it.

Can I immerse the coffee urn in water for cleaning?

No, never immerse the base of the urn in water or any liquid to avoid electrical hazards. Clean only the inside with water and detergent.

What does the red indicator light mean?

The red indicator light comes on when brewing is complete, signaling that the urn has automatically switched to 'keep warm' mode.

How do I use the spigot?

Ensure the spigot is closed before brewing. After brewing, open the spigot to serve coffee. Close it when not in use.

What should I do if my coffee tastes bitter?

Clean the urn thoroughly, especially the pump tube and basket, to remove oil and coffee stains. Use a special cleanser like 'Dip-It' for deep cleaning according to package directions.

USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

MODEL NOS. FSU122, 236, 255

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse cord, plugs, or base in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended or sold by FARBERWARE® may cause hazards.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
12. When connecting an appliance, always take hold of the plug — never the cord — and attach to appliance first, then plug into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn the heat control to "OFF," then remove plug from wall outlet first, in the same manner.
13. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

USING THE FARBERWARE® AUTOMATIC STAINLESS STEEL COFFEE URN

USING THE COFFEE URN (continued)

1. Wash the Coffee Urn thoroughly before using for the first time. (See “Cleaning Instructions” section in this manual.)
2. Remove cover and basket. Check to see that spigot is closed. Use cold, fresh tap water to fill Coffee Urn. DO NOT OVERFILL OR UNDERFILL. Fill according to markings on inside of Urn for number of cups desired. Use cold tap water — the automatic brewing cycle is timed to begin with a cold water start.
3. Wet coffee basket to help keep small particles of coffee from sifting through. Add desired amount of regular or percolator grind coffee to basket and place on the pump tube. The pump tube must be resting in center well.

The following chart suggests amount of coffee to use for medium brew; amounts can be varied to suit personal taste and particular coffees.

*Use standard measuring cups

1. Replace the Urn cover and secure in position by turning cover clockwise until cover tabs fit into handle slots.
2. Plug into standard household 120 volt AC wall outlet. To avoid unnecessary strain on the heating mechanism, PLUG IN COFFEE URN AFTER THE WATER AND COFFEE ARE ADDED.

USING THE COFFEE URN (continued)

1. When coffee brewing is complete, percolating will stop and the red indicator 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 and pump tube when brewing is completed.

REMOVE PARTS CAREFULLY: COFFEE URN AND PARTS WILL BE HOT!

Also, be sure to unplug the Urn when only 1 or 2 cups of coffee remain.

Hot fruit or wine punches may be prepared in this Coffee Urn.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

After Each Use (and before using for the first time): Always make sure plug is first removed from wall outlet. Let Coffee Urn cool. Remove cover, coffee basket, and pump tube carefully — grounds and remaining coffee may still be warm.

Wash Coffee Urn with water and detergent — NEVER IMMERSE BASE OF URN.

The cover, basket, and pump tube (with spring) may be placed in the dishwasher.

NEVER WASH URN BODY IN DISHWASHER.

Rinse all parts thoroughly and dry. Store with cover off.

Make sure the washer at bottom of pump tube remains loose. If coffee grounds lodge in this area, remove under running water or with a wooden pick. (See illustration.)

Washer must remain loose — remove coffee grounds if caught.

After Repeated Use: Remove accumulation of oil and coffee stains that may cause a bitter taste with a special cleanser, such as “Dip-It.” Follow package directions, filling with water to 1-1/2 inches from top. Be sure to rinse well.
