suggestions and tests should be done before the actual unit installation is begun.

LEVELING THE UNIT

Set Tea Brewer in operating location and level. For proper unit operation, it is very important that the unit be
level when it Is standing in its proper operation position. A spirit level should be place on the top plate of the
unit, at the edge, as a guide when making level adjustments. Level the unit from left to right and front to back

PLUMBER'S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

NOTE: This equipment must be installed to comply with the Basic Plumbing Code of the Building Officials and Code
Administrators International, Inc (BOCA) and the Food Service Sanitation Manual of the Food and Drug
Administration. (FDA)

Flush water line before connecting to Brewer. Brewer should be connected to COLD WATER line
NOTE: Bloomfield recommends 1/4" copper tubing for installation of less than 25 feet and 3/8" for more than 25 feet

from the 1/2" water supply line.
A water shut-off valve should be installed on the incoming water line in a convenient location.
Unit must be installed on a water line with a flowing pressure between 20 PSI and 90 PSI. If water pressure does not

fall into this range or varies greatly, a pressure regulator should be installed in the water supply line.
Check the termination of the water line where the Brewer will stand. (The water line must terminate into a 1/4' flare

fitting). Be sure to use pipe sealant (approved for potable water) on the male threads of the fitting to prevent water
leak. Do not use the many varieties of liquid or pasted pipe dope, as it may leech out of the threads, pass into, and
damage the unit.

Connect water line to 1/4' flare fitting on back of the unit. Turn on the water and check for leaks.
To delay build-up of lime deposits in water tank, we recommend the use of a Water Conditioner.
