OPERATION
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT:
All E-Max™ brewers
are
tested and set at the
factory
. If programming
adjustments are
necessary, refer to the
appropriate section of this
manual.
To over-ride the Brew
Wait mode, press and
hold the BREW key for 3
seconds when the brewer
is in Brew Wait mode
(i.e. when brew light is
ashing). The brew will
proceed immediately
regardless of water
temperature. This feature
should only be used when
testing water volume,
otherwise the brew will
proceed with the water
below the precise brew
temperature.
1.Energizing the Brewer: When electricity has been connected to
the unit, there will be a momentary ash of the power light. Turn
the brewer on by pressing the POWER key. The
brewer will start to ll the tank. With the proper
water supply the tank should be lled in about 2½
minutes. Once lled, the heating element will
come on until the proper tank temperature has
been reached, (which will take about 20 minutes on
120-Volt models or about 12 minutes on 120/240
Volt models).
2. Brewing (Precise Temperature for Brewing™ — PTB™): In the
regular operating mode, the E-Max™ maintains
the tank temperature within +/- 1ºF of the brew
temperature. Normally this will mean that a brew
will be started as soon as the BREW key is
pressed. However, there may be a slight delay
if the BREW key is pressed immediately after a
brew has been completed (notably on 120 volt
models). If the tank temperature is below the brew
temperature, the brew will be delayed, going into
the “Brew Wait” mode, with the brew light ashing. As soon as the
correct temperature is reached the brew will commence with the brew
light on continuously during the brew. When the brew begins the main
warming station will be turned on automatically (if it is not already on).
During the brew cycle, if the BREW key is pressed, it will be ignored.
Only when the brew is complete can another brew be started.
Note: the following
safety features have been
incorporated to prevent
multiple unattended
brews:
The brew key is disabled
during a brew cycle. This
minimizes the possibility
of double brewing.
When the “Brew” light is
on or ashing, repeated
pressing of the BREW
switch will be ignored,
(there will be a beep each
time it is pressed). A
Brew will only be activated
when the “Brew” light is
off.
3. Brew Cancel: To cancel a brew in progress, press the CANCEL
KEY: two beeps will sound and the “Brew” light
will go out. Water owing to the brew chamber
will be stopped immediately, but if there is
already water in the brew chamber, it will take a
few moments before this drips through as
coffee.
4. Normal Operation (Non Brewing): When the unit is not brewing,
the E-Max™ maintains the water temperature at the Precise
Temperature for Brewing™ (PTB™). The heating element will
cycle on and off automatically to maintain this temperature.
5. After Hours Mode: If no brew is detected for a pre-selected length
of time, the brewer will enter the After Hours mode. Temperature
will be allowed to drop to save energy. Pressing the BREW KEY
returns the brewer to normal operation.

brewer must be ON, and not brewing or in the lling mode. Press and hold the 4th key, and
depress the 6th key. The actual water temperature will be displayed for 3 seconds.
2.Daily Brew Count: The brewer maintains a count of the number of completed brews for a 7-day
period. To access the count, turn the brewer OFF by pressing the 3rd key. In the OFF mode,
press and hold the 2nd (CANCEL) key for 3 seconds. The current day and brew count will be
displayed. Depress the 3rd key repeatedly to view each preceding day. When all 7 days have been
displayed a 7-day total will be displayed. If you wish to exit the daily brew count before viewing all of
the days, press the 2nd key.
3. ON/OFF – Non Automatic Timer: To turn the brewer OFF, press the 3rd key (ON/OFF ):
2 beeps will be heard and the brewer will be turned OFF, indicated by all lights being off, (including
any warmer plates on decanter brewers). To turn the brewer ON, press the 3rd key: 2 beeps will
sound, all lights will ash once, then the “Power” light will remain on, (the “Heat” light may come on if
water temperature is too low).
4. ON/OFF – Automatic Timer Feature: The factory programmed brewer has the automatic
timer turned off. To set the automatic timer, refer to page 13, “Time Functions” Menu.
If the Automatic Timer feature is programmed off, the brewer can be turned on and off by depressing
the 3rd (ON/OFF) key, as noted above.
* When the Automatic Timer feature is programmed ON, the brewer will turn on and off
automatically, at a programmed time, Monday to Friday; with a separate on and off
programmed time schedule for Saturday and Sunday.
*Temporarily Overriding the Automatic ON/OFF function. While in the automatic timed OFF
mode the brewer can be started by depressing the 3rd (ON/OFF) key. The brewer will
remain ON until the automatic programmed off time, when it will turn OFF and resume normal
automatic timed functioning. Similarly, if turned OFF during the automatic timed ON mode
the brewer will remain OFF until the next programmed on time, when it will turn on and
resume normal automatic timed functioning.
5. Automatic Start-Up in Previous Mode: If the brewer automatic timer is OFF (the factory
setting) and power is disconnected, the brewer will start up when power is restored, in the mode
it had been in prior to the power disconnection. If the brewer has the timer setting ON and
power is disconnected, the brewer will start up in the mode that it should be in at the time the power
is restored.
6. Viewing Programmed Brew Volume: (Airpot & Thermal Brewers Only) The brewer can have
up to 4 different brew volumes. When a volume other than the standard, or rst brew volume, is
selected, the brewer will complete that volume and then automatically reset to the standard, or rst
brew volume. With the brewer ON, press and hold the 2nd key. The 1st, or standard,
volume will be displayed for 3 seconds (i.e. Volume #1 64 oz)., followed by the day and time.
7. Changing Brew Volume: (Airpot & Thermal Brewers Only) As outlined above, display the
current brew volume and, before the display changes to day and time, depress the 2nd key
momentarily, (not for 3 seconds). The next programmed brew volume (e.g. Volume#2 32 oz.) will be
displayed for 3 seconds, after which the display will return to the day and time. Repeatedly
press the 2nd key while programmed volumes are shown to view all brew volumes. (If there is
only one brew volume programmed, only that volume will be displayed.) The last brew volume
displayed, before the LCD returns to the day and time, is the brew volume that the brewer will
brew the next time the BREW switch is depressed. When a brew volume other than the 1st brew
volume is selected, the brewer will complete the brew then return to the 1st or standard brew
volume automatically.

PROGRAMMING - OPERATOR LEVEL (continued)
8. Clock
A. Time – Battery Backup. The E-Max™ has a battery backup system which will maintain the
proper time during power failures, or when the brewer is unplugged (even for very prolonged
periods of time). Normally there will not be a need to set the time except for Daylight Saving
Time changes, or moving the brewer to different time zones.
B. Changing Day and Time: To change time, turn the E-Max™ off. Press the 2nd key twice
followed by the 1st key twice to access the time change mode, (i.e. press CANCEL, CANCEL,
BREW, BREW). In the time change mode the screen will read “Day:” followed by the current
day setting. Use the 6th key to advance the day, or the 5th key to reverse. When day has
been properly set, press the 3rd key. The screen will now read “Time:” with the set time on
the screen, the hour and am or pm ashing. Use the 5th key to go back or the 6th key to
advance the hour, making sure that the am or pm is correct. When the hour and am/pm
is correctly set, press the 3rd key, and the screen will read “Time:” with the set time on the
screen, minutes ashing. As previously use the 5th or 6th keys to adjust the minutes, and
press the 3rd key when complete. The E-Max will return to the off mode. (Changing time can
also be done in the regular programming mode. Consult the E-Max™ Programming Manual)
C. After Hours™: Consult page 13 “Time Functions” to set the After Hours™ mode. The
factory programming has the After Hours™ mode turned OFF. The After Hours™ can be
programmed to come on from 1 to 6 hours after the last brew. When the E-Max™ goes into
the After Hours™ mode, any warmer plates left on will be turned off (on decanter brewers),
the water in the tank will be allowed to drop from the normal brewing temperature and will
reheat less frequently – this feature saves energy and extend component life. While in the After Hours mode, the power light will ash continuously. When the BREW switch is pressed
the E-Max™ automatically reverts back to normal operation, heating the water to the Precise
Temperature for Brewing™ (PTB™), before starting the brew. (The power light will be on
continuously and the Brew light will ash until the correct water temperature is reached.)
9. Countdown Quality Timer™: The E-Max™ factory programming has the Countdown Quality
Timer™ turned OFF. Consult page 13 “Time Functions” to activate the Countdown Quality
Timer™ feature:
This feature offers independent Countdown Quality Timers for each warmer plate. The count
down timer can be set from 20 to 360 minutes (in 5-minute increments). When a warmer
plate is turned on (or, for the main warmer, as soon as a brew is complete,) the countdown
time begins. At the end of the selected time there will be two beeps and the warmer plate
light will ash continuously until reset. While the light is ashing the heating element for the
warmer plate remains on. Push the warmer plate switch to turn the warmer off, and switching
it again will re-start the countdown time.
10. Pulse or Pre-Infusion Volume Options: To set these features, refer to page 19, “Brew Settings
Menu”. If a particular brew volume has utilized the pulse or pre-infusion option, that volume
will be displayed with an asterisk (*) after the volume. As an example “Volume#2 64oz*”
would indicate that the second programmed brew volume has utilized the pulse or preinfusion program options.
11. Keypadlock™: This feature is OFF in the standard factory settings. To set the feature refer to
page 14, “Machine Settings Menu”. If the Keypadlock™ feature is activated, there will
be no response by the brewer when the keys are depressed (except for the beep after a
key is pressed). To temporarily “unlock” the keypad, press and hold the CANCEL key for 6
seconds. A beep will be heard indicating the keypad is now “unlocked”, — a brew can be
initiated, warmer plates turned on or off, etc. The keypad will remain unlocked until the brew
is completed, then automatically return to keypadlock™ mode. If a brew is not initiated 60
seconds after “unlocking”, the system will time out and return to the “locked” position.

12. View Filter Statistics: To view lter statistics, turn the brewer off. Press and hold the 1st key
(Brew), and depress the 3rd (ON/OFF) key. Total water volume will be displayed (TotalVol.).
Press the 3rd key to view the Filter Life (FltrLife:). Press the 3rd key to view the percentage
of the lter that has been used. (If the lter option is used, the lter life volume needs to be
entered in the program – see page 14, Service & Counters Menu.)
13. Diagnostic Messages – Programmed Safety Features: When the E-Max™ senses a problem,
it will automatically turn off all elements and valves, ash lights, display the message
“Call For Service” and display one of the messages below. (Additionally: a service phone
number may appear if it has been programmed into the system.)
* To reset the brewer it can be re-energized (or press and hold the 2nd key for 3 seconds for all
faults except the Valve Fault, which must be reset by re-energizing). The brewer will try to
re-start, but if the same problem persists, the appropriate error message will appear again.
Consult the Trouble Shooting section to determine how to solve the problem.
A. “Probe/Heater Error”: Overheating Detection (1): If the heating element is on for 5 minutes
and the temperature does not change by +2°F (1°C) in the ve minute period, the unit will go
into the Over Temperature Mode with all lights ashing. When in this mode the brewer turns
off the heating elements, the solenoid valves are turned off; the switches disabled; (and all
lights ashing continuously). The LCD display will read “Probe/Heater Error”, followed by the
message “Call for Service”, and then the service phone number (if it has been entered into
memory). To reset press and hold the 2nd key for 3 seconds, or re-energize the brewer.
(Possible causes of problem: high limit needs to be re-set; defective high limit, element, triac,
water level probe or control board.)
B. “Overheat Error”: Overheating Detection (2): If the E-Max™ senses a temperature over the
Maximum Temperature set in the program (factory set at 208ºF or 98ºC) it will go into the over
temperature mode as above with all lights ashing, except the LCD will read “overheat error”,
and “Call for Service”. To reset press and hold the 2nd key for 3 seconds, or re-energize the
brewer. (Possible cause of problem is a defective triac, temperature probe or related wiring
and connections.)
C. “No Water Sensed” — Time-Out —Inlet Valve: When lling for the rst time, the inlet valve
will remain open for 4¼ minutes, (the screen will read “lling…”). If water is not detected at
the end of this time the E-Max™ will shut down with the message “no water sensed”. The
valves and all elements are turned off, and the Brew and Power light ash alternately with the
Heat light, until the brewer is reset. To reset press and hold the 2nd key for 3 seconds, or
re-energize the brewer. (Possible causes of the problem are: no incoming water; slow ow of
incoming water (i.e. less than 45 oz/minute); sensor not reading (check for placement,
connections or lime scale).
D. “No Water Sensed” — Time-Out – Brew Valve: During the brew the inlet solenoid valve
cycles on intermittently to maintain the proper level in the tank. If the valve is open for
60 seconds without water being detected at the proper level, the brewer will go into the same
error mode as above (“no water sensed”). To reset press and hold the 2nd key for 3
or re-energize the brewer. (Possible causes of the problem are: no incoming water; slow ow
of incoming water, sensor not reading, etc.).
E. Keyswitch Locked: If a key switch is depressed for 10 seconds this error message will occur.
Lights will ash alternately and the brewer will turn off all valves and elements. Press and
hold the 2nd key for 3 seconds to reset the brewer (or re-energize the brewer). If the
problem re-occurs this indicates a defective switch on the key pad.
F. “Valve Fault”- Faulty Valve Detection: When an electric or switching problem is detected
with either the inlet or brew valve the brewer turns off all elements and valves and displays
“valve fault…”. All of the lights will be turned on. Before re-setting the brewer the valves
must be checked to determine the problem. The brewer must be re-energized to re-set,
