3.4.2 Adjusting the Tank Overflow Float
It is important to verify that the float is positioned properly in the overflow
cup because it can move around in transportation. If this float is not
properly in place the switch will not be activated and the unit will
automatically shut down sensing an overflow situation.
It is important to verify that the Overflow cup is in place with the highest
side in front and secured well with the red tape. If you need to remove this
cup, please make sure that you replace it with the highest section facing
the front and the overflow tube in the cup. Fasten it in place with tape. This
will ensure that the float will “float” and will activate the overflow switch if a
problem accurs.

3.6 Water Line Connection
This equipment must be installed in compliance with applicable Federal, State, Provincial
and/or Municipal plumbing codes having jurisdiction.
Make sure that the equipment is unplugged before proceeding with the water supply
installation. Also verify that the incoming water pressure is greater than 20 psi and no more
than 80 psi.
1. Prior to installing the equipment, flush out the water line by running approximately 1 gal. of water into a pail.
This will ensure no sediment from a new installation can get in the equipment;
2. The incoming water supply should have a shut-off valve connected in-line. Water supply should be
a plastic 1/4” or 3/8” O.D. dedicated line branched off a larger supply line;
3. Make sure your water source is turned off. Secure the inlet fitting firmly onto the inlet valve. Do not
overtighten;
4. Make sure the equipment is unplugged. Connect the water line to the quick connect inlet fitting;
5. Turn the water valve on, sending water to the brewer. If there are any leaks, tighten connections to stop
leakage.
This procedure does not take into consideration the installation of a water filtration system.
Please refer to the water filter manufacturer installation instructions and incorporate them into
the above procedures.

3.8 Water Temperature
This equipment has a coffee brewing setpoint of 202 F* water temperature to offer a consistent beverage quality
to the users. There is a +/- 2 degree F tolerance.
.
This is an average and is not what you would get from a manual temperature measure. The actual
water temperature fluctuates because cold water is added to the tank after every beverage delivery and
time is needed to heat the new incoming water up to setpoint.
You can also take the water’s brewing temperature manually by ordering a cup of hot water and
measuring its temperature with a thermometer. There may be a slight difference from the tank reading.
This is normal.
If you are experiencing large temperature differences, verify that your tank is clean and not obstructed
by mineral deposits and scale.
Unit safety measures
In the event of a temperature probe failure, the tank may start to boil. This will cause it to overflow into
the “Overflow Cup” and will automatically shut it off.
