Zuma Brewer (N016352)
OPERATING GUIDELINES
NOTE:
The maximum capacity of this brewer is approximately 325 ml (11 oz.).
Do not attempt to
exceed this value.
Doing so may create flooding/overflow problems with the brewer.
There are certain operating guidelines and preventative maintenance procedures that must be
followed to ensure the Zuma brewer functions properly and efficiently. These guidelines and
procedures are listed below, and are also detailed in this guide. It is important that you read this
guide to familiarize yourself with this brewer and these procedures.
•
Over time, coffee oils and fine grounds (the size of dust particles) as well as minerals in the
water will accumulate on the brewer screen assembly. This accumulation will decrease the
porosity of the screen, resulting in brewer flooding. The Zuma brewer screen must be kept
clean to prevent this from occurring.
•
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.
•
If a leak develops between the top of the brewer cylinder and the bottom of the brew chamber,
it may be necessary to add small metal shims onto the H-frame to correctly seal the brewer.
•
To properly clean and de-stain the brewer without damaging the components, rinse the brewer
using
only
a VKI approved brewer cleaner. The use of any other types of cleaning agents may
cause damage to plastic and rubber components on the brewer.
•
Never, under any circumstances, turn the Zuma brewer in a backwards direction
. Doing
so will damage the bearings on the cam.
