PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
These brewers must be connected to a cold water system with operating pressure between 5 and 90 psi (34.5
and 620 kPa) for CDBC models and 20 and 90 psi (138 and 620 kPa) for CEZ models from a 1⁄2" or larger supply
line. A shut-off valve should be installed in the line before the brewer. Install a regulator in the line when pressure
is greater than 90 psi (620 kPa) to reduce it to 50 psi (345 kPa). The water inlet fitting is 3⁄8" flare. Bunn-O-Matic
does not recommend the use of a reverse-osmosis or deionized water supply to this equipment.
NOTE - Bunn-O-Matic recommends 3⁄8" copper tubing from a 1⁄2" or larger water supply line. A tight coil of copper
tubing in the water line will facilitate moving the brewer to clean the countertop. Bunn-O-Matic does not
recommend the use of a saddle valve to install the brewer. The size and shape of the hole made in the supply line
by this type of device may restrict water flow.
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).
Plumbing Hook-Up
1.Flush the water line.
2.Securely attach it to the flare fitting at the rear of the brewer.
Placing the "ON/OFF" switch in the "ON" upper position supplies power to the brew station warmer, enables the
brew circuit, and energizes the tank refill circuit. Placing the switch in the "OFF" lower position stops tank refilling,
brewing and deenergizes the brew station warmer. Stopping a brew cycle after it has been started will not stop the
flow of water into the decanter until the funnel is empty.
NOTE – Hot water will be available at the faucet in a limited amount when the switch is in the "OFF" position because
the tank will not refill.
BREW SWITCH
Momentarily pressing and releasing the switch starts a brew cycle when the "ON/OFF" switch is in the "ON" upper
position.
NOTE – The "ON/OFF" switch must be in the "ON" upper position to initiate and complete a brew cycle.
ADDITIONAL WARMER SWITCHES
Placing any additional warmer switch in the "ON" upper position supplies power to the associated warmer.
READY INDICATOR
This indicator glows when the preselected brew water temperature has been achieved.

WATER SENSING THRESHOLD ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE (CDBC TWIN & CDBCF TWIN)
1. Make sure the tank is full of water to be used for calibration. The water must be in contact with the refill probe.
2. Unplug the brewer from the power source, then press and hold the BREW button while power is reapplied.
3. Continue pressing the BREW button until the READY indicator begins to flash. Release the BREW button and
then press it again momentarily.
4. The new calibration is automatically completed within a few seconds. If the water is too pure for use with the
brewer, the READY indicator will flash very rapidly and the old calibration will be retained.
The pulse brew parameters (initial fill time, off times, and remaining on times) are entered using the following setby-example process.
1. First set the brew volume using the standard procedure in
2. Position an empty container under the sprayhead. Allow the tank to finish refilling. Make sure that the READY
lamp is on, or that the BREW LOCKOUT function is turned off.
3. Press and hold the OFF/ON button. The brew valve will turn on after 10 seconds. Release the button. This begins
the initial on-time setting. When the spray has continued for the desired time, momentarily press the OFF/ON
button.
4. The spray is now stopped and the off time setting has begun. Press the OFF/ON button momentarily to end
the off time.
5. The spray is now on again and the remaining on time setting has begun. Press the OFF/ON button momentarily
at the end of the desired remaining on time.
6. The setup is now complete and the parameters are stored in memory. The spray will continue the off and on
cycles until the brew volume of step 1 is complete. Pressing the OFF/ON button again will terminate the brewing
cycle, with the parameters stored in memory.
7. If only a preinfusion is desired, i.e. an initial on time followed by one off period, use the same procedure, but
stop after step 4 and allow the brew to finish the volume set in step 1. This will store the initial on time and off
time in memory.
Brew Volume Setup.
Procedure for Disabling Pulse Brew or Preinfusion:
1. Position an empty container under the sprayhead. Allow the tank to finish refilling. Make sure that the READY
lamp is on, or that the BREW LOCKOUT function is turned off.
2. Press and hold the OFF/ON button. The brew valve will turn on after 10 seconds. Release the button.
3. Allow the spray to continue and press no buttons until spray stops. The pulse and preinfusion functions are
now disabled.
NOTE: When the brewer has been set up for pulse or preinfusion, the adjustment of brew volume is done the same
as always and has no effect on the pulse brew parameters. The pulsing is temporarily disabled while adjusting the
brew volume and automatically returns during normal brewing.

TROUBLESHOOTING
A troubleshooting guide is provided to suggest probable causes and remedies for the most likely problems
encountered. If the problem remains after exhausting the troubleshooting steps, contact the Bunn-O-Matic
Technical Service Department.
•Inspection, testing, and repair of electrical equipment should be performed only by qualified service personnel.
•All electronic components have 120 volt ac and low voltage dc potential on their terminals. Shorting of
terminals or the application of external voltages may result in board failure.
•Intermittent operation of electronic circuit boards is unlikely. Board failure will normally be permanent. If an
intermittent condition is encountered, the cause will likely be a switch contact or a loose connection at a
terminal or crimp.
•Solenoid removal requires interrupting the water supply to the valve. Damage may result if solenoids are
energized for more than ten minutes without a supply of water.
•The use of two wrenches is recommended whenever plumbing fittings are tightened or loosened. This will help
to avoid twists and kinks in the tubing.
•Make certain that all plumbing connections are sealed and electrical connections tight and isolated.
•This brewer is heated at all times. Keep away from combustibles.
WARNING –•Exercise extreme caution when servicing electrical equipment.
• Unplug the brewer when servicing, except when electrical tests are specified.
• Follow recommended service procedures.
• Replace all protective shields or safety notices.
Before troubleshooting this brewer, check for the following:
A. Control Boards (CDBC TWIN)
1. Make sure ribbon cable is properly attached to the control board (ALL PINS INSERTED INTO PLUG).
2. Make sure there is a nylon insulating washer under each screw head that holds the control board to the plastic
front end cap. This is important for proper operation.
B. Control Boards (CEZ TWIN)
Locate J6 connector on control board. If jumper is across pins 1 & 2, board is set up to operate tea brewer or
a brewer that DOES NOT use a water level probe. If jumper is across pins 2 & 3, board is set up to operate a
coffee brewer or a brewer that uses a water level probe. Look at the bottom side of the control board. Pin 1 of
connector J6 is marked by a square solder pad on the foil side of the board and pins 2,3 & 4 are marked by a
round solder pad.
C. Control Boards (CDBC TWIN & CEZ TWIN)
Make sure before servicing brewer that voltage is present at control board.
On CDBC TWIN models, press any warmer switch or observe if any indicator lights are glowing on the control
panel. If so, proceed with testing. If not, check for voltage across pins 1 & 2 of the ten pin J1 connector (black
and white wires). If voltage is present, replace the control board. If voltage is not present, check wiring and
voltage across terminal block (black and white). Correct the problem and retest before proceeding with testing.
On CEZ TWIN models, check for voltage across pins 1 & 7 of the eight pin J1 connector (black and white wires).
If voltage is present, proceed with testing. If voltage is not present, check wiring and voltage across terminal
block (black and white). Correct the problem and retest before proceeding with testing.
