ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS: 1
• MODELS F35 120/240 volts A.C., 60 hertz, 3 wire, single phase. 20 amp. wiring required.
• MODEL F20 120 volts A.C., 60 hertz, 2 wire, single phase. 20 amp. wiring required.
• MODEL F15 120 volts A.C., 60 hertz, single phase, with two wire grounded cord. 15 amp.
WARNING: CHASSIS MUST BE PROPEBL Y GROUNDED TO PREVENT POSSIBLE SHOCK HAZARD. ON CORD CONNECTED MODELS
THAT HAVE A GROUNDING LEAD PROVIDED, IF AN ADAPTIVE PLUG MUST BE USED, AN ELECTRICAL GROUND MUST BE PRO-
VIDED. DO NOT ASSUME A PLUMBING LINE WILL PROVIDE SUCH A GROUND.
1. Electrician must provide the outlet, plug to match, and a suitable length of cord or armored cable if
not supplied. (Attached power supply cord provided on Model F15).
2. Power is to be left OFF throughout installation.
3. Before connecting electrically, remove front panel via two screws and be sure the thermostat is
turned all the way to the left (counterclockwise) to the OFF position. Keep in the OFF position until
tank has been filled with water.
4. Electrical service is connected to the termina"1"block at the front of the brewer. Remove front panal via
two screws for access. Strain relief is provided in the rear of the machine.
5. No switch is required. All models should remain connected electrically so heat will be maintained in
the water tank.
6. After connecting service as specified, test the voltage on the field wired side with a voltmeter. Should
be as shown above.
7. With power to brewer OFF, replace front panel. If plumbing connection has been made, the coffee '.......,)
brewer is now ready for "Initial Operation Instructions." Refer to page 3. If plumbing is to be done
later, be sure that power is OFF.
NOTE: Schematic and pictorial wiring diagrams are located on page 10 of manual.
WARNING: Brewer warranty is void if brewer is connected to any voltage other than specified on
nameplate ..
In all installations, the National and-all local electrical codes must be followed.
PLUMBER'S INSTAllATION INSTRUCTIONS
Theequipment isto 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).
i ;
CAUTION: Power to brewer must be OFF
before proceeding with plumbing installation.
1. Flush water line before installing brewer.
Brewer should be connected on Cold Water
Line for best operation.
2. Water pressure should be at least 20 Ibs. For
less than a 25 ft. run, use 1/4" copper tubing
from 1/2" or larger water line_ For more than a
25 ft. run, use 3/8" copper tubing from 1/2" or
larger water line, and provide an adapter fit-
ting for conne.ction to the water strainer.
3. Connect incoming water line to the incoming
male fitting on the strainer.
A SHUT OFF VALVE SHOULD BE INSTALLED
ON THE INCOMING WATER LINE IN A CON-
VENIENT LOCATION.
NOTE: The National Sanitation Foundation requests a provision be made in the incoming water line
for flexibility. This is necessary to allow tilting or moving the brewer for proper cleaning
underneath, etc. A tightly coiled length of copper tubing located ahead of the water strainer
would help comply with this request.

3.
\-t
4.5.
IMPORTANT: • Brewer must be level or slightly lower f'n front to siphon properly.
1.
NOTE: Be sure thermostat is in OFF position.
Turn power to brewer ON.
Place brewing funnel in proper position for brewing. Place a decanter containing a little water on
center warmer and turn ON-OFF toggle switch to the ON position. This switch must be ON to operate
a brew cycle. _
Deflect the start switch. This will start a brew cycle and allow water to flow into the tank. Water will
run approximately two minutes before timed cycle ends. Repeat this cycle three additional times;
water should overflow tank into the decanter on center warmer during the fourth cycle.
Turn power to brewer OFF. Remove front panel via two screws. Adjust timer to deliver desired amount
of water. To increase amount of water, increase time of water flow by turning timer dial slightly
clockwise. To decrease amount of water, decrease time of water flow by turning timer dial slightly
counterclockwise.
6. Turn control thermostat knob fully clockwise to the ON position. Turn power to brewer ON and allow
approximately 10 to 20 minutes for water in tank to heat. (F-35 approximately 10 minutes-F-20 ap-
proximately 15 minutes-F-15 approximately 20 minutes.) When the water reaches brewing
temperature, the contronhermostat will click off and the heating noise will stop. On initial heat up,
normal water expansion will occur in the water tank. Water may drip from the funnel due to this ex-
pansion, but will not occur thereafter.
7. Turn on-off switch to the ON position. Place empty decanter on center warmer under the funnel and
deflect start switch. Run a partial cycle to remove expanded water from the tank. Now run a full cycle
to check for proper timer setting and to cycle control thermostat.
8. When control thermostat clicks off and heating noise stops, run a cycle to check for proper
temperature setting. With an accurate thermometer, take the temperature of the water at the point
below the funnel opening and at the time when the decanter is about half full. Recommended
temperature of the water is approximately
level) thermostat may have to be readjusted to prevent boiling.
9. If water volume and temperature are correct, replace front panel. Coffee brewer is now ready for brew-
ing coffee.
• Electrician's and Plumber's instructions are provided on page 2. These instructions
should be carefully followed before proceeding with initial operation instructions.
• Be sure all electrical and plumbing connections are tight.

COFFEE BREWING DIRECTIONS
FAST, CLEAN, CONVENIENT -BUNN® DISPOSABLE PAPER FILTERS
Drop Bunn filter into funnel.
1. Place Bunn filter in funnel and add desired amount of coffee.
2. Level the bed of coffee and insert funnel in hood guides.
3. Place empty decanter on center warmer under funnel.
4. Turn on-off toggle switch to the "ON" position, deflect start switch and brew a pot of coffee.
IMPORTANT! Use Bunn Filters for Bunn Coffee Brewers. There is a differ'ence.
Pour in fresh coffee.
Slide funnel into head and brew.
Simply throw out grounds.
CLEANING TIPS
1. For cleaning all metal surfaces, use any reputable stainless steel cleansing compound.
2. Sprayhead should be checked and cleaned regularly. (At least once a week.) Sprayhead holes must be
kept open.
3. To prevent "LIMING" problems in the water tube and air tube, remove sprayhead and insert deliming
spring all the way into the tank through both tubes. When inserted into tank properly, no mora than
two inches of the spring should be visible. Saw back and forth five or six times. This will keep tubes
open and clear of lime. In hard water areas this should be done every day; this takes less than a
minute.
