This brewer meets
operated and maintained in accordance with the enclosed
READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
To enable the installer to make
a quality installation and to
minimize installation time, the
following suggestions and tests
should be done before the
actual unit installation is started:
CAUTION:
EqUIPMENT DAMAGE
DO NOT plug in or energize this
appliance until all Installation
Instructions are read and
followed. Damage to the
Brewer will occur if these
instructions are not followed.
CAUTION:
UNSTABLE
EqUIPMENT
HAzARD
It is very important for safety
and for proper operation that the
brewer is level and stable when
standing in its nal operating
position. Provided adjustable,
non-skid legs must be installed
at each corner of the unit.
Failure to do so will result in
movement of the brewer which
can cause personal Injury and/
or damage to brewer.
NOTE: Water supply inlet line
must meet certain minimum
criteria to insure successful
operation of the brewer.
Bloomeld recommends 1/4”
copper tubing for installation of
less than 12 feet and 3/8” for
more than 12 feet from a 1/2”
water supply line.
Unpack the unit. Inspect all components for completeness and
condition. Ensure that all packing materials have been removed
from the unit.
Verify that the Spray Head Gasket and Spray Disk are properly
installed.
LEVELING THE UNIT
Verify that an adjustable leg is installed at each corner of the
brewer.
Set Brewer in its operating location. Level the Brewer. A spirit
level should be placed on the top of the unit, at the edge, as a
guide when making level adjustments.
Level the unit from left to right and front to back by turning the
adjustable feet. Be sure all four feet touch the counter to prevent
tipping.
PLUMBER’S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT:
This equipment must be installed to comply with all appli-
cable federal, state and local plumbing codes and ordinances;
specically:
The Basic Plumbing Code of Building Ofcials and Code
Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA) and the Food Service
Sanitation Manual of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Brewer should be connected to a POTABLE WATER, COLD WATER line. Flush water line before connecting to Brewer.
DO NOT use a saddle valve with a self-piercing tap for the water
line connection. Such a tap can become restricted by waterline
debris. For systems that must use a saddle tap, shut off the
main water supply and drill a 3/16” (minimum) tap for the saddle
connection, in order to insure an ample water supply. Remember
to ush the line prior to installing the saddle.
The brewer must be installed on a water line with average
pressure between 20 PSI and 90 PSI. If your water pressure
exceeds 90 PSI at anytime, a pressure regulator must be
installed in the water supply line to limit the pressure to not more
than 90 PSI in order to avoid damage to lines and solenoid.
A water shut-off valve should be installed on the incoming water
line in a convenient location (Use a low restriction type valve,
such as a 1/4-turn ball valve, to avoid loss of water ow thru the
valve.
The water line must terminate in a 1/4” male are tting, which
will connect to the provided ex line. See Figure 2 below.
Fig. 2 Water Supply Installation
In some areas, local codes require a backow preventer (check
valve) to be installed on the inlet water line. If a backow
preventer is used, you must install a water hammer arrester in the
incoming line, between the backow preventer and the brewer
inlet, as far away from the brewer as space will allow. This will
relieve the excessive back pressures that can cause faucet leaks
and solenoid malfunctions.
ELECTRICIAN’S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
REFER TO ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS - Page 1
Check the nameplate to determine correct electrical service
required for the Brewer to be installed.
IMPORTANT: Before connecting to electricity, make sure
automatic brewers are connected to the water supply.
Model 1016BVM is equipped with a cord and twist-lock plug.
It requires a 120/240 volt 30 amp circuit (50/60 Hz, 3 wire plus
ground, with NEMA L14-20R Twist-Lock Receptacle).
WARNING:
ELECTRIC SHOCK
HAzARD
Brewer must be properly
grounded to prevent possible
shock hazard. DO NOT
assume a plumbing line
will provide such a ground.
Electrical shock will cause death
or serious injury.
IMPORTANT:
Supply power must match
nameplate for voltage and
phase. Connecting to the
wrong voltage will damage the
brewer or result in decreased
performance. Such damage is
not covered by warranty.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect
brewer to electrical power until
you are ready to ll the tank.
See instructions on page 6.
IMPORTANT: The ground
prong of the plug is part of a
system designed to protect
you from electrical shock in
the event of internal dam-
age. Never cut off the ground
prong nor twist a blade to t an
existing receptacle. Contact a
licensed electrician to install the
proper circuit and receptacle.
Tank must be full of water
before pressing POWER
key “on”. Heating
elements will be damaged
if allowed to operate
without being fully
submerged in water.
Damage caused by
operating the brewer
without water in the tank
is NOT COVERED BY
WARRANTY.
START-UP
A.
For initial start-up, or if the brewer has not been used for an
extended period of time:
• Be sure spray disk and brew gasket are properly installed in the
brew head.
• Be sure the water supply is properly connected and the water supply
valve is turned ON.
• Be sure the WATER TANK IS FILLED.
IMPORTANT: Fill the water tank before energizing this unit:
Insert the brew chamber (empty) and place an EMPTY decanter in
1.
place under the brew chamber.
Connect unit to electric power. Four beeps will sound and all lights
2.
glow momentarily.\
Be sure the brewer is “off” (if necessary, press ON/OFF key until
3.
no LEDs are lit).
Press BREW key three (3) times, then press CANCEL key once.
4.
BREW and HEAT indicators will ash while tank is lling.
When water starts to ow from the brew chamber, the tank is full.
5.
Press ON/OFF key once to terminate ll. Heating element will be
energized and will begin heating water in preparation for the rst
brew. When the water has reached the proper temperature, the
HEAT light will go out.
Water temperature is sensed by an electronic
water temperature probe inserted into the
water tank. This temperature signal is fed to
the controller.
The setpoint temperature is adjustable. The
controller sends a command signal to the
power board based upon a comparison
between the setpoint temperature and actual
temperature. See page 15.
The power board energizes the heating
elements based on the command signal from
the controller.
Excessive temperature will trip the hi-limit
safety switch. When the brewer cools,
remove front panel and press the red button
on the hi-limit to reset.
WATER FLOW
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Pressing the BREW key energizes the
solenoid valve, allowing water from an
external water supply to ow into the water
tank. The incoming water forces heated
water out of the tank to perform the brew.
The solenoid uses a ow control device so
that ow is consistent between 20 p.s.i. and
90 p.s.i.
The length of time the solenoid is open
is controlled by the time setting of the
controller. See page 16.
After the solenoid closes, water will continue
to ow to the brew chamber until water level
in the tank falls below the brew pickup,
breaking the siphon.
Fig. 4 Heat Control Diagram
HOT WATER FAUCET
The faucet water coil is submerged in the
hot water tank and draws heat from the brew
water. Water going to the water coil is not
controlled by the solenoid valve.
