INSTALLATION
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, and that a rubber foot is installed on each leg.
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 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,
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 provided water line strainer must be installed in the supply
line, between the shutoff valve and inlet tting. Note FLOW
arrow marking on strainer body.

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 8742 and 8748 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).
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:
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 at left.
606 Owners Manual for 8742-8748 Tea Brewer 2M-76116
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.

OPERATION (continued)
IL1675
WATER HEATER
Water temperature is sensed by a thermobulb
inserted into the water tank. This temperature
signal is fed to the mechanical thermostat.
The temperature setpoint is adjustable. Heating
element is energized by the thermostat.
Excessive temperature will trip the hi-limit safety
switch. The hi-limit will automatically reset when
the brewer cools.
WATER FLOW
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Pressing the BREW switch starts the timer, which
in turn energizes the solenoid valve. This allows
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.
Additionally, a portion of the unheated water is
bypassed into the dispenser to dilute and cool the
brew. The proportion of water delivered to the
brew versus the amount water diverted to dilution
is controlled by a restrictor in the bypass line, and
an adjustable needle valve in the brew water line.
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 timer setting.

CAUTION:
BURN HAZARD
Exposed surfaces of the
brewer, brew chamber and
dispenser may be HOT to
the touch, and can cause
serious burns.
CAUTION:
BURN HAZARD
To avoid splashing or
overowing hot liquids,
ALWAYS place an empty
dispenser under the brew
chamber before starting
the brew cycle. Failure to
comply can cause serious
burns.
CAUTION:
BURN HAZARD
After a brew cycle, brew
chamber contents are
HOT. Remove the brew
chamber and dispose of
used grounds with care.
Failure to comply can
cause serious burns.
A. PREPARATION
Examine the tea brew chamber
to verify that the short the wire rack
is in place.
Place one (1) genuine Bloomeld
paper lter into the wire rack in the
tea brew chamber.
Add an amount of fresh tea leaves
to the brew chamber appropriate to
the brew volume.
Model 8742: 3 Gallons
Model 8748: 5 Gallons
Gently shake the brew chamber to
level the bed of tea leaves.
Slide the brew chamber into place
under the brew head.
B. AUTOMATIC OPERATION
BE sure “READY TO BREW” light is lit.
Place the appropriate EMPTY dispenser in place under the brew
chamber. If a brew-thru lid is used, be sure the bypass opening in
the lid is directly under the bypass nozzle.
Press the “BREW” switch. The tea brew solenoid will open for
an amount of time determined by the timer setting, admitting a
measured quantity of water into the tank.
Inlet water will displace a like amount of heated water from the tank.
The hot water will be forced into the brew head where it will spray
over the bed of grounds. Freshly brewed tea will begin to ll the
dispenser. Additionally, a measured amount of cold dilution water
will ow from the bypass nozzle into the dispenser.
When the ow and all dripping stops at the end of the brew cycle,
the tea is ready to serve.
Discard the contents of the brew chamber and rinse it in a sink.
When the ”READY TO BREW” light glows, the brewer is ready for
another brew cycle.

Fig. 9 Checking and Adjusting Brew Temperature
CAUTION:
SHOCK HAZARD
These procedures involve
exposed electrical circuits.
These procedures are to
be performed by qualied
technical personnel only.
NOTE: Optimum brewing
temperature is 195ºF to 205ºF
(90ºC to 96ºC).
Thermostat should be adjusted
to a maximum temperature of
200ºF (95ºC).
IMPORTANT:
A mechanical thermostat will
maintain temperature within
±5ºF.
To prevent boiling water in
the brewer, controller should
be adjusted to a maximum
temperature equal to the local
boiling temperature minus 5ºF,
or 200ºF (94ºC), whichever is
less.
NOTE: 1/8 turn = approximately
10ºF (5.6ºC).

element and faucet water coil to remove lime and calcium
build-up. Rinse with clean water. Store the lid assembly in a

HAZARD
Deliming chemicals are caustic.
Wear appropriate protective
gloves and goggles during this
procedure.
Never siphon deliming
chemicals or solutions by
mouth.
This operation should only be
performed by qualied and
experienced service personnel.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT spill,
splash or pour water or deliming
solution into or over any internal
component other than the inside
of the water tank.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow
any internal components to
come into contact with the
deliming solution. Take care to
keep all internal components
dry.
NOTE: Repeat steps 4 thru 5
as required to remove all scale

NOTE: Normally, silicone
hoses do not need to be
delimed. Should deliming hoses
become necessary, Bloomeld
recommends replacing the
hoses.
