INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Bloomeld recommends 1/4”

copper tubing for installation of
less than 25 feet and 3/8” for
more than 25 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
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.

A waterline lter is recommended in areas where water quality

may cause taste and/or odor problems.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

IL1615

NSF requires that the brewer be able to be moved for cleaning

underneath. A ex line or loops of copper tubing will satisfy this

requirement. See Figure 2 below.

Fig. 2 Water Supply Installation

In some areas, local codes require a backow preventer (check
valve) to be installed on the inlet water line. If a backow

preventer is used, you must install a water hammer arrester

in the incoming line, between the backow 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.

Models 1080 and 1082 are equipped with a cord and plug.
They require a 115 - 125 volt 20 amp circuit (50/60 Hz, 2 wire
plus ground, with NEMA 5-15R or 5-20R Receptacle).

IMPORTANT: The ground prong of the plug is part of a system
designed to protect you from electrical shock in the event of
internal damage. 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.

NOTE: This equipment must
be installed to comply with
applicable federal, state and
local plumbing codes and
ordinances.

WARNING:

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: Do not connect
brewer to electrical power until

the tank is lled with water.

Pour water into the pour-over

opening until water ows from

the brew head.

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.

Models 1086 & 1088 must be wired by an electrician, and
require a 115/230V 20A circuit (50/60 Hz, 2 hot legs / 1 neutral
leg, plus ground). Remove front panel to gain access to terminal
block. Green terminal must be connected to a suitable building
ground. Circuit must be capable of 3500 Watts.

See gure 3 at right.

642 p/n 2M-75872 1080 1082 1086 1088 Owmers Manual

IMPORTANT: Wiring must be installed in approved solid or

exible conduit, and must be secured to the brewer with a strain

relief (to be provided by the installer).

OPERATION (continued)

WATER HEATER

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. The hi-limit will automatically reset when
the brewer cools.

WATER FLOW

POUR-OVER FEATURE

Pouring any amount of water into the pour-over
opening and into the basin pan forces an identical
amount of heated water out of the tank and through
the spray head.

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 18.

After the solenoid closes, water will continue to ow

to the brew chamber until
the water level in the tank falls below the brew
pickup, breaking the siphon.

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.

Hot water is provided at the faucet, at supply water
pressure, any time the faucet shut-off valve is

OPEN

multiple, unattended brews. While the BREW indicator is on or

ashing, any additional strokes of the BREW key will be ignored (there

will be a beep each time the key is pressed, however). Another brew
cannot be initiated until the previous brew is complete.

The Brew Waiting Time, also called Dripout Time, (interval between
when the brew is initiated and the audible signal sounds at the end
of the brew) may be adjusted between 2 and 8 minutes at the Brew
Signal Timer dial on the controller. See page 16.

Brew Cancel

To cancel a brew in progress or a brew in waiting, press the CANCEL
key. Two beeps will sound and the BREW indicator will go out.
