INSTALLATION / SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
- Read and follow installation / setup 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.
Plumber's Installation Instructions
1)
Plumb brewer in to water supply using 1/4 inch copper or plastic tubing. Flush water line before installing
brewer to remove sediment. 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" tubing and connect to 1/2" or
larger water line. The inlet water fitting on the back of the brewer is a 1/4" flare fitting.
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)
Check for leaks
Initial Setup Instructions
1) Plug or wire brewer to the appropriate voltage circuit as indicated on the serial tag. Place a suitable
decanter in place below the brew basket to catch water. Depress the "On/Off" (power) switch to supply power
to the control board. Depress the "Brew Start" switch and the tank will begin to fill. The tank lid has a probe in it
to signal the control board when the water has reached the appropriate level to begin the timing for the brew
cycle. If this probe does not see water for 3 minutes the control board will interpret this as an error. It will
shutoff the solenoid valve, disable the control board and alternate flashing the heating and brewing light. The
time required to fill the tank initially exceeds this time. Therefore this error will occur when the unit is initially
setup. To reset the safety circuit and enable control board simply unplug the unit from the wall outlet and plug
it back in. Or depress and hold lower warmer switch (power switch on thermal brewers) Approximately 5
seconds until error clears.
2)
Turn on the power ("On/Off") switch and depress the start switch. The tank lid has a second longer probe
in it which is a heater safety probe. This probe will tell the control board when the water level is high enough to
supply power to the tank element. It also will call for power to be shut off to the element should the water level fall
below it. If the tank temperature adjustment is in the off position or if the autoarm feature has been disabled the
unit will continue to fill. Otherwise the brewer will go into the autoarm mode and the heating light will begin to flash.
This indicates that the unit is in the brew mode but is not up to temperature (Note: To accelerate the set up time
the "Tank Temp" Adjustment dial may be rotated to the off position momentarily until the fill cycle begins and then
turned back). When the tank reaches the preset temperature the fill portion of the brew cycle will begin. The tank
lid must be in place for proper unit operation.
3)
When water begins to flow from brew basket the brew cycle may be canceled by depressing the power
switch. Allow water to finish draining from the unit and then empty the decanter and replace below brew basket.
Turn power switch back on and depress the brew start switch. After the brew cycle has finished check volume of
water in the container. Adjust the "Brew Time" with the control board located behind right side access plate. Turn
the dial Clockwise to increase the volume of water and counterclockwise to decrease it. See Fig 1 on page 5 for
control board setting information.
4)
Allow 10-15 minutes for the water in the tank to heat to brewing temperature. Depending on the "Tank
Heater Mode" Selected with switch on the back of unit it may be necessary to have the power switch on for the
tank to heat up to operating temperature. The heating light will go out 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 the
"On/Off" switch). 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 1 on page 5 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 right side
access plate.
6)
CAUTION:
The water faucet will dispense hot water when the handle is pulled.
