PLUMBER'S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
Power to brewer must be OFF before proceeding with plumbing installation.
1) Flush water line before installing brewer. Brewer should be connected to COLD WATER LINE for best operation.
2) 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.
3) If installed with saddle valve, the valve should have a minimum of 1/8" porthole for up to 25 ft run, and 5/16" porthole
for over 25-ft runs.
4) Ensure that the PDS flow control is installed on the rear of the brewer. Connect incoming water line to the flow
control device on the back of the brewer. Manufacturer recommends connecting to copper tubing. Turn on water
supply and check for leaks.
INITIAL SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
- Read and follow 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 nameplate.
Tank Fill
1) Brewer should be connected to water supply as outlined in PLUMBERS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
above.
Place an empty decanter in place below the brewbasket to catch any water which may be dispensed during the tank
fill process. Plug or wire brewer to the appropriate voltage circuit as indicated on the serial tag. Turn power switch
located on the rear of machine to the on position and tank will begin to fill. The expansion chamber in the brewer has
a water level probe in it. When the water reaches this probe, 5-6 minutes, the fill solenoid will shut off and the tank
will begin heating. Allow 10-15 minutes for the water to heat to the preset temperature. Some water may be
dispensed through the sprayhead during the initial fill process.
Volume Check and Adjustment
2) Place a suitable decanter in place below the brew basket to catch water during the volume check and calibration
procedure. Depress the full brew switch (full cup). If the tank is up to the preset temperature, temperature
adjustment dial is in the off position or if the autoarm feature has been disabled the brew cycle will begin. Otherwise
the brewer will go into the autoarm mode. In the autoarm mode the heating light will be lit and the corresponding
switch light will begin to flash indicating that the unit is in the brew mode but is not up to temperature. When the tank
reaches the preset temperature the brew cycle will begin. Note: To accelerate the set up time the "Tank Temp"
adjustment dial may be rotated to the off position momentarily until the brew cycle begins and then turned back. The
autoarm mode can also be bypassed by simply holding in the brew button for 3 seconds. The brew cycle may be
canceled by depressing the cancel switch.
3) After the brew cycle has finished check volume of water in the container. Adjust the "Brew Time" with the control
board located behind the right side access plate. Turn the dial Clockwise to increase the volume of water and
counterclockwise to decrease it The range of adjustment is 30 seconds to 5 minutes. The dial labeled “Visa” on the
timer may be set for an additional amount of time to flash the brewing light. This will allow time for the coffee to finish
draining from the brew basket after the fill cycle has completed. See Fig on page 3 for control board setting
information.
Temperature Check and Adjustment
4) Allow approximately 10 minutes for the water in the tank to heat to brewing temperature. The ready light will be lit
when the unit is up to temperature. Run one brew 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. (Note:
Brew cycle may be canceled by depressing the cancel button). The brewer features an electronic temperature
control circuit and the temperature may be adjusted with the control board located behind the right side access plate.
See Fig on page 3 for control board setting information.
5) In higher altitude locations (5000 feet above sea level) the tank temperature may have to be adjusted lower to
prevent boiling. Turning adjustment knob in a clockwise direction will increase water temperature. This unit features
an electronic temperature control. Adjustment is located on the control board behind the front access plate.
6) CAUTION: The water faucet will dispense hot water when the handle is pulled.
