The Avantco 177CUC60 is a 60-cup stainless steel coffee urn designed for indoor use. Before first use, remove all packaging, fill with water, boil, and discard the water to clear any residue. Always ensure the percolator tube and filter basket are properly installed before brewing coffee. The unit features boil-dry protection and a thermal fuse for safety.
Important Safety Information
- Use only with a grounded 110-120V AC socket.
- Never operate the machine without at least 3 cups of water in the tank.
- Do not immerse the urn in water.
- Always switch OFF and unplug before moving or cleaning.
- Keep hands and face clear from the top of the urn when removing the lid.
- Do not use outdoors.
How to Use
- Place the urn on a flat, level surface.
- Turn the lid counter-clockwise to open.
- Pour water into the tank, ensuring it is between the MIN and MAX indicators.
- Place the percolator tube and filter basket in the tank.
- Add the desired amount of coffee grounds to the basket.
- Secure the lid by turning it clockwise.
- Plug in the unit and switch ON. The HEATING light will indicate the process has begun.
- Tilt the faucet lever to dispense coffee.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Always clean the urn immediately after each use. Unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Wash the interior, filter unit, and lid with a non-abrasive detergent.
- Use a bottle brush to clean the faucet.
- Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth. Do not use benzene, thinners, or harsh abrasives.
De-Scaling
Scale buildup can affect performance. To de-scale:
- Use a commercial de-scaling agent (e.g., Urnex Dezcal) or a natural method.
- Natural method: Slice a lemon into four pieces, wrap in a cloth, place in the urn, fill to MAX, boil, and let sit for 1 hour. Scrub the interior with a nylon brush, then boil and discard fresh water to remove any aftertaste.
Boil Dry Protection and Thermal Fuse
The unit is equipped with a thermal limiter with auto-reset. If the water level is too low, the unit will turn off automatically and take up to 8 minutes to reset after cooling. A thermal fuse is also installed as a one-time-use safety component; if it activates, the fuse breaks and the unit will no longer function.
