PLUMBER'S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (AUTOMATIC BREWERS)
CAUTION:
Power to brewer must be OFF before proceeding with plumbing installation.
1)
Attach flow/strainer assembly to back of brewer. Strainer inlet will point down.
2) Flush water line before installing brewer. Brewer should be connected to COLD WATER LINE for best operation.
3) Water pressure should be at least 20 lbs. For less than a 25 ft run, use 1/4" copper tubing and connect to 1/2" or larger
water line. For longer runs, use 3/8" copper tubing & connect to 1/2" or larger water line and provide an adapter fitting
for connection to the brewer.
4) If installed with saddle valve, the valve should have a minimum of 1/8" port hole for up to 25 ft run, and 5/16" port hole
for over 25 ft runs.
5) Connect incoming water line to the strainer on the back of the brewer. Manufacturer recommends connecting to copper
tubing.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FILL BREWER TANK WITH WATER BEFORE CONNECTING TO POWER SUPPLY !
WARNING:
- Read and follow installation instructions before plugging or wiring in machine to electrical circuit. Warranty will
be void if machine is connected to any voltage other than that specified on the name plate.
1)
Place the decanter under brew basket, raise top evaporation cover and pour three decanters of water through the top pour-
in screen. Water should come through the brew basket as the third decanter of water drains out of the pour in basin. If
brewer does not have a pour in opening remove top cover and pour water directly into receiving pan.
2) For Automatic Models: Adjust timer to deliver desired amount of water (Timer is located behind front access panel). Set
volume selection switch to the "1 POT" setting. To brew into a regular 60 oz. decanter, little adjustment should be
needed. Turn timer dial clockwise to increase volume of water, and counter clockwise to decrease volume. The "2 POT"
setting will yield twice the volume of water as the "1 POT" setting.
3) 120 V brewers are shipped with thermostat turned on. 240 V brewers are not and should be set after filling the tank. Plug
or wire in machine to appropriate voltage circuit as noted on the brewers serial tag. Serial tag is located on rear of brewer.
4) Allow 10 to 15 minutes for water in tank to heat to brewing temperature. (Additional water may drip from brew basket
due to initial expansion of water in the tank). This will not occur thereafter.
5) After water has reached brewing temperature (thermostat will click off and heating noise will stop.) turn lower warmer
switch to the ON position. To remove expanded water from tank, run one cycle by pouring one decanter of water through
pour-in screen (pour over models) or by depressing brew start switch (automatic models). (Brew cycle may be canceled by
turning the rocker switch back to the OFF position.)
6) Run one cycle to check for the proper temperature setting with an accurate thermometer. Take the temperature of this
water at a point below the brew basket opening, at the start of the brew cycle and when the decanter is half full.
Recommended temperature of the water is approximately 195 F.
7) In higher altitude locations (5000 feet above sea level) the thermostat may have to be adjusted lower to prevent boiling.
8) CAUTION: On faucet models the water faucet will dispense hot water when the handle is depressed. The faucet system is
independent of the brewing system and can be operated during brew cycle. Once brewer is pressurized, operate faucet
until water flows smoothly.
COFFEE PREPARATION PROCEDURES
1) Place filter into brew basket. Set the volume selector switch to the desired brew volume.
2) Put the proper amount of coffee into the filter.
3) Slide the brew basket into holder.
4) Place empty decanter on warmer located directly under the brew basket and turn corresponding warmer switch to ON
position.
5) Pour decanter of water through pour-in screen into pour in basin (pour over models) or depress brew start switch
(automatic models).
6) Hot water will be delivered through the sprayhead. This distributes the hot water evenly over the coffee bed within the
brew basket. The coffee brew will drain from the brew basket into the decanter below.
7) The resultant coffee brew should be crystal clear and have the desired properties attainable through excellent extraction.
8) TURN OFF WARMER WHEN NOT IN USE. Red light indicates warmer is on.
9) To clean brew basket simply remove from brew rails and dump filter into waste basket. The brewing process, as described
above, can now be started again.
