PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
Models CWA-APS & CWA-TS:
These models are completely portable and require no attached plumbing.
Models CWTA-APS, CWTFA-APS, CWTA-TS, CWTFA-TS:
These brewers must be connected to a cold water system with operating pressure between 20 and 90 psi (138
and 620 kPa) 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 1⁄4" flare.
NOTE - Bunn-O-Matic recommends
25 feet from the 1⁄2" 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).

1. Attach the flare fitting from the short piece of
tubing on the flow control (supplied) to the lower
water inlet fitting at the left rear of the brewer.
2. Attach the flare fitting from the short piece of
tubing on the tee (supplied) to the upper water
inlet fitting at the left rear side of the brewer.
3. Flush the water line and securely attach it to the
flare fitting on the tee.
4. Turn on the water supply.
5. Place an empty vessel beneath the faucet and lift
the handle until water is dispensed.
INITIAL SET-UP
CAUTION - The brewer must be disconnected from the power source throughout the initial set-up, except
when specified in the instructions.
1. Insert an empty funnel into the funnel rails.
2. Place an empty dispenser under the funnel.
3. Place the heater switch at the rear of the brewer in the “OFF” (lower) position and connect the brewer to the
power source.
4. Fill the tank with water as directed:
4A. Models CWA-APS & CWA-TS:
Pour three pitchers of tap water into the screened area on top of the brewer. Allow approximately two minutes
between pitchers for water to flow into the tank. While the third pitcher of water is entering the tank, the tank
will fill to capacity and the excess will flow from the sprayhead, out of the funnel, and into the dispenser.
4B. Models CWTA-APS, CWTFA-APS, CWTA-TS & CWTFA-TS:
Connect the brewer to the power source, place the "ON/OFF" switch in the "ON" (upper) position, and
momentarily press and release the START switch. Water will begin flowing into the tank. When water stops
flowing into the tank, initiate a second and a third brew cycle. During the third brew cycle the tank will fill to
its capacity and the excess will flow from the sprayhead, out of the funnel, and into the dispenser.
5. When the flow of water from the funnel stops, place the heater switch at the rear of the brewer in the “ON”
(upper) position and wait approximately twenty minutes for the water in the tank to heat to the proper
temperature. Some water will drip from the funnel during this time; this is due to expansion and should not
occur thereafter.
6. Empty the dispenser and initiate another brew cycle as directed:
6A. Models CWA-APS & CWA-TS:
Pour one pitcher of tap water into the screened area on top of the brewer.
6B .Models CWTA-APS, CWTFA-APS, CWTA-TS & CWTFA-TS:
Place the "ON/OFF" switch in the "ON" (upper) position, and momentarily press and release the START switch.

INITIAL SET-UP (cont.)
7. Place the "ON/OFF" switch in the “OFF” (lower) position after water has stopped flowing from the funnel, and
let the water in the tank reheat to the proper temperature.
8. Empty the dispenser and proceed as directed:
8A. Models CWA-PS & CWA-TS:
The brewer is now ready for use in accordance with the coffee brewing instructions on the next page.
8B. Models CWTA-APS, CWTFA-APS, CWTA-TS & CWTFA-TS:
Place the "ON/OFF" switch in the "ON" (upper) position, and momentarily press and release the START switch.
Check the water volume in the dispenser after water has stopped flowing from the funnel. It should be 64
ounces.
9. If not, disconnect the brewer from the power source, remove the front panel, and adjust the brew timer as
required. See
Adjusting Brew Volumes
. Replace the front panel, connect the brewer to the power source, and
allow the water to reheat, start, and measure another brew cycle.
10. Repeat step 9 until 64 oz water volume is achieved.
11. The brewer is now ready for use in accordance with the coffee brewing instructions on the next page.
ADJUSTING BREW VOLUMES
CAUTION - Disconnect the power source from the brewer prior to the removal of any panel for the replacement
or adjustment of any component.
NOTE: Prior to setting or modifying batch sizes, check that the brewer is connected to water supply, the tank is
properly filled, and a funnel and server are in place.
1. Modifying batch sizes. To modify a batch volume, first check that the SET/LOCK switch is in the “SET”
position on the circuit board.
To increase a batch size. Press and hold the START or BREW switch until three clicks are heard. Release the
switch (Failure to release the switch within two seconds after the third click causes the volume setting to be
aborted and previous volume setting will remain in memory) and press it again one or more times. Each time
the switch is pressed, two seconds are added to the brew time period. Allow the brew cycle to finish in order
to verify that the desired volume has been achieved.
To decrease a batch size. Press and release the START or BREW switch once for every two-second interval
to be removed from the total brew time period; then immediately press and hold down the START or BREW
switch until three clicks are heard. Release the switch. (Failure to release the switch within two seconds after
the third click causes the volume setting to be aborted and previous volume setting will remain in memory).
Allow the brew cycle to finish in order to verify that the desired volume has been achieved.
2. Setting batch sizes. To set a batch volume, first check that the SET/LOCK switch is in the “SET” position on
the circuit board. Press and hold the START or BREW switch until three distinct clicks are heard, and then
release the switch. (Failure to release the switch within two seconds after the third click causes the volume
setting to be aborted and previous volume setting will remain in memory). View the level of the liquid being
dispensed. When the desired level is reached, turn the ON/OFF switch to “OFF” (lower). The brewer remembers this volume and will continue to brew batches of this size until the volume setting procedure is repeated.
NOTE: When brewing coffee, batch volumes will decrease due to absorption by the coffee grounds.
3. Setting programming disable feature. If it becomes necessary to prevent anyone from changing brew times
once programmed, you can set the SET/LOCK switch to the “LOCK” position. This will prevent any programming to be done until switch is once again placed in the “SET” position.

OPERATING CONTROLS
Models CWA-APS & CWA-TS:
These models function without operating controls.
Models CWTA-APS, CWTFA-APS, CWTA-TS & CWTFA-TS:
ON/OFF SWITCH
Placing the "ON/OFF" switch in the "OFF" (lower) position stops brewing. Stopping a brew cycle after it has been
started will not stop the flow of water into the funnel until the tank syphons down to its proper level. Placing the
switch in the "ON" (upper) position enables the brew circuit.
START 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.
COFFEE BREWING
1. Insert a BUNN® filter into the funnel.
2. Pour the fresh coffee into the filter and level the bed of grounds by gently shaking.
3. Slide the funnel into the funnel rails.
4. Place an empty dispenser beneath the funnel.
5. Operate the brewer as directed:
5A. Models CWA-APS & CWA-TS:
Pour one pitcher of tap water into the screened area on top of the brewer.
5B. Models CWTA-APS, CWTFA-APS, CWTA-TS & CWTFA-TS:
Place the "ON/OFF" switch in the "ON" (upper) position. Momentarily press and release the START switch.
6. When brewing is completed, simply discard the grounds and filter.
CLEANING
1. The use of a damp cloth rinsed in any mild, non-abrasive, liquid detergent is recommended for cleaning all
surfaces on Bunn-O-Matic equipment.
2. Check and clean the sprayhead. The sprayhead holes must always remain open.
3. With the sprayhead removed, insert the deliming spring (provided) all the way into the sprayhead tube. When
inserted properly, no more than two inches of spring should be visible. Saw back and forth five or six times.
NOTE – In hard water areas, this may need to be done daily. It will help prevent liming problems in the brewer
and takes less than a minute.

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 240 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
