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.

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 12 feet and 3/8” for
more than 12 feet from a 1/2”
water supply line.

NOTE: This equipment must

be installed to comply with
applicable federal, state and
local plumbing codes and
ordinances.

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.

PLUMBER’S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Brewer must 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.

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.

WARNING

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 8740 is equipped with a cord and plug.

It requires a 115 - 125 volt 20 amp circuit (50/60 Hz, 2 wire plus
ground, with NEMA 5-15R receptacle).

PREPARATION

The water tank must be ller prior to operation. Slide an empty
brew chamber in place under the brew head. Place an empty
dispenser under the brew chamber.

Be sure the unit is connected to the water supply, the water

supply is turned ON and the “TANK HEATER SWITCH” is OFF.

Connect the unit to electric power.

Press the “START BREW” switch to initiate a brew cycle. The
solenoid will open and begin lling the tank. Initiate consecutive
brew cycles until water begins to ow from the brew head.

When all water stops dripping, discard all water generated.
Press the “TANK HEATER SWITCH” to ON. The heating
elements will begin heating the water in the tank. When the
“READY TO BREW” light glows the unit is ready for use.

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:

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.
