INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONT’D)
6) After water has reached brewing temperature (thermostat will click off and heating noise will stop.) turn lower
warmer/power switch to the ON position. To remove expanded water from tank, run one cycle by pouring one half
decanter of water through pour-in screen (pour over models) or by depressing brew start switch (automatic models).
After water begins to flow from the brew basket cancel brew cycle by turning the Lower/Power switch to the OFF
position. Allow the unit to finish siphoning and then empty the decanter and replace below basket.
7) 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.
8) In higher altitude locations (5000 feet above sea level) the thermostat may have to be adjusted lower to prevent
boiling.
9) CAUTION: On faucet models the water faucet will dispense hot water when the handle is pulled. The faucet system
is independent of the brewing system and can be operated during brew cycle. Once the brewer is pressurized, operate
faucet until water flows smoothly. Faucet flow rate may be adjusted by using the needle valve located on top of the
brewers water tank.
COFFEE PREPARATION PROCEDURES
1) Place the filter into brew basket.
2) Place the appropriate amount of ground coffee into the filter for the volume of coffee to be brewed.
3) Slide the brew basket into holder.
4) Set the volume selection switch to the appropriate position for the volume of coffee to be brewed.
5) For warmer units:
Place empty decanter on warmer located directly under the brew basket
Turn corresponding warmer switch to ON position.
For airpots or other dispensers:
Remove any non brew thru lids or pump stems
Place airpot under brew basket.
6) Pour decanter of water through pour-in screen into pour in basin (pour over models) or depress brew start switch
(automatic models).
7) 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.
8) The resultant coffee brew should be crystal clear and have the desired properties attainable through excellent
extraction.
9) TURN OFF WARMER WHEN NOT IN USE. Red light indicates warmer is on.
10) 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.
LIMING
To prevent liming problems in tank fittings remove sprayhead and insert deliming spring all the way into the tank.
When inserted into tank properly, no more than ten inches of the spring should be visible at the sprayhead fitting. Saw
back and forth five or six times. This will keep fittings open and clear of lime. In hard water areas this should be done
everyday. This process takes approximately one minute. In all areas the sprayhead should be cleaned at least once a
week. Where bad liming has already occurred, a new complete tank assembly may be installed. The tank may be
changed in approximately 5 minutes time.
