Brew Chamber Installation
•
The correct removal and installation procedure for the brew chamber is crucial. Although the assembly
can be easily removed for cleaning (by lifting up the latch bar in front of the chamber), the re-
installation requires some precision. The wiper assembly on the chamber
must
be inserted between
the two stainless steel arms located at the rear of the brewer. These two arms can be easily located
once the brew chamber assembly is removed.
Failure to properly align the brew chamber during
installation may result in excessive brewer damage.
•
When re-installing the brew chamber, make certain it is properly locked in position. Gently grip the
top of the brew chamber (
not
the release latch) and pull it slightly. If it is not properly locked in
place, you will be able to pull it out.
Failure to lock the brew chamber in place will result in the
chamber moving forwards, and then coming down on top of the plastic cylinder lip in front
of the filter screen
. This can damage the brew chamber, cylinder, the arms and bearings and/or
the vertical rod housing.
General Maintenance and Adjustments
•
Never turn the brewer backwards.
This will damage the arms and bearings and possibly the
cam.
•
Use
only
the VKI designed screen extraction tool (illustrated below) to remove the re-useable filter
screen. The use of any other tools will damage the brewer.
•
When performing a brewer rinse,
use only VKI approved powder cleaner
. Any other chemicals
or detergents may damage the brewer.
Do not, under any circumstances, soak the brewer’s
plastic parts in brewer cleaner
for prolonged periods of time
(maximum is 30 minutes).
