INITIAL SET-UP
1. Remove the top lid from the brewer.
2. Rotate the control thermostat knob fully counterclockwise to the “OFF” position
and replace the top lid.
3. Insert an empty funnel into the funnel rails.
4. Place an empty dispenser on the brewer base. Be prepared to empty the dispenser during these initial
steps.
5. Plug in the brewer, place the ON/OFF switch in the “ON” position, and momentarily press the START switch.
Water will flow into the tank and dispenser for five minutes and forty-five seconds. Empty the dispenser
when this first cycle stops and press the START switch again. Empty the dispenser when the second cycle
stops and press the START switch once more. During the third cycle, the tank will fill to its capacity and the
excess will flow from the funnel into the dispenser. Empty the dispenser when this third cycle stops.
6. Disconnect the brewer from the power source, remove the rear trunk panel, and turn the handle on the needle
valve approximately one-quarter turn counterclockwise to enable the flow of dilution water. This valve is fully
closed at the factory.
NOTE - The next step requires the use of a stopwatch to calculate the amount of dilution water flowing from the
nozzle in one minute. You’ll need to capture and measure the timed dilution water in a separate vessel than
the one used for the water flowing from the funnel.
7. Place a vessel under the brew funnel to catch the brew water. Use a hose or other means to divert the water
from the dilution nozzle to a separate container.
8. Connect the brewer to the power source. Simultaneously press the start switch to begin another brew cycle
and start the stop watch. Place the ON/OFF switch in the “OFF” position at exactly sixty-seconds (one-minute).
When the flow of water stops, measure the volume of the captured dilution water. It should be approximately
twenty-two ounces.
9. If not, disconnect the brewer from the power source, and adjust the handle on the needle valve clockwise to
decrease the amount of water or counterclockwise to increase the amount of dilution water as required.
10. Repeat steps 8 & 9 until the recommended dilution water volume (twenty-two ounces) is achieved.
11. Disconnect the brewer from the power source and reinstall the rear trunk panel.
12. Unplug the brewer, remove the top lid, rotate the control thermostat knob fully clockwise to the “ON” position
and replace the top lid.
13. Empty the dispenser.
14. Connect the brewer to the power source and wait for the ready light to glow indicating the water in the tank
has heated to brewing temperature (approximately 20 minutes). Some water will drip from the funnel during
this time; this is due to expansion and should not occur thereafter.
15. Begin another brew cycle and measure the total water volume from the dispenser. It should be approximately
3 gallons and 12 ounces. (396 ounces).
16. If not adjust the timer as required. See
Adjusting Brew Volumes.
17. Start, and measure another cycle.
18. Repeat steps 16-17 until the recommended total water volume is achieved.
19. The brewer is now ready to brew a batch of freshly brewed room temperature coffee.
