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 only.
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. Recommended flow rate from water line is 1 gpm.
3. 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.
4. Connect incoming water line to the elbow extending from the solenoid valve on the back of the brewer.
Manufacturer recommends connecting to copper tubing.
5. Ensure that tank heater switch on the rear of brewer is in the off position. Connect brewer to appropriate
electrical supply as indicated on serial tag.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FILL BREWER TANK WITH WATER BEFORE CONNECTING TO POWER SUPPLY !
1. Place the decanter under brew basket, remove brewer top cover and tank lid and pour three decanters of water
into the tank. Water should come through the brew basket as the third decanter empties of water. Re-install
tank lid and top cover.
2. Plug or wire brewer to appropriate voltage circuit as indicated on serial tag. Turn (master / tank) switch (located
in rear of equipment) to the ON position. Note: Brewer is shipped with thermostat turned on.
3. Place an empty decanter in position below the brew basket. With the decanter in place turn the lower warmer
switch, power switch for dispenser models, to the ON position and depress brew start switch. When water
begins to flow from the brew basket hold a suitable container beneath faucet and momentarily open the faucet to
remove any entrapped air. Turn off lower warmer or power switch as applicable to cancel brew cycle.
4. Empty decanter and replace below the brewbasket. Turn on the lower warmer switch, power switch for
dispenser models, and depress the brew start switch to begin a brew cycle, checking the volume of water
delivered into decanter. Adjust timer to deliver desired amount of water. Turn timer dial clockwise to increase
volume of water, counter clockwise to decrease it. On models with Auto-Arm brewer will not run until fully
heated or if (master / tank) switch is turned off.
5. The brewing light located on the face of the machine below the ready light is part of the "Vis-A-Brew" safety
system. This flashing amber light warns the user that hot liquid is draining from the brew funnel. This light
should continue to flash until all liquid has drained into decanter. This control is preset at the factory but may be
adjusted independent of the brew timer for your specific brewing conditions (i.e., filter type, coffee grind, etc.).
Clockwise rotation of the knob will increase duration of the flashing while counterclockwise rotation will decrease
the active time of the light. Both the timer and Vis-A-Brew adjustments are located behind the access panel on
the side of the brewer except on telescoping models, where they are located below the top cover.
6. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for water in tank to heat to brewing temperature. After water has reached brewing
temperature (thermostat will click off and green ready light will be lit) 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. (Note: Brew cycle may be canceled by turning the rocker switch back to the
OFF position.)
7. In higher altitude locations (5000 feet above sea level) the thermostat may have to be adjusted lower to prevent
boiling.
8.
CAUTION:
The water faucet will dispense hot water when the handle is actuated. The faucet system may be
operated during timed portion of brew cycle without yielding a short pot.
