Page 4
28230 092200
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. Remove the front panel beneath the sprayhead and rotate the control thermostat knob fully counterclockwise
to the “OFF” position.
2. Connect the brewer to the power source. Water will begin flowing into the tank.
3. When water stops flowing into the tank., remove the front panel and proceed as directed and rotate the control
thermostat knob fully clockwise to the “ON” position and replace the front panel.
4. Wait approximately twenty-five minutes on 208V, 240V Models or fifty minutes on 120V Models for the water
in the tank to heat to the proper temperature.
5. Place an empty server beneath the brew station. Place the Selector switch in the desired position, the On/Off
switch in the upper position and initiate a brew cycle. Triple set timers require the setting of each dial
individually. The 5 minute dial is for 1/2 gallon, 8 minute dial is for 1 gallon and the 10 minute dial is for 1-1/
2 or 1-3/4 gallon settings.
6. Place the On/Off switch in the lower “OFF” position after water has stopped flowing from the funnel, and check
the water volume in the server. It should be 64 oz -1/2 gallon, 128 oz - 1 gallon, 192 oz - 1-1/2 gallon or 224
oz - 1-3/4 gallon.
7. (A) If not, adjust the timer as required. Refer to Adjusting Brew Volumes.
(B) If necessary adjust the needle valve to achieve water volume to be bypassed around the coffee filter in the
funnel.
NOTE: To increase the water bypass turn the needle valve counterclockwise, to decrease the water bypass turn
the needle valve clockwise. An adjustment to the needle valve will require a timer adjustment for volume of 1,
1-1/2 or 1-3/4 gallon.
8. Repeat step 7 until the proper water volume is achieved.
9. The brewer is now ready for use in accordance with the coffee brewing instructions.

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
BREW SELECTOR SWITCH
Placing the switch in the 1/2 gallon, 1 gallon, 1-1/2 or 1-3/4 gallon position selects the amount of coffee to be
brewed in subsequent brew cycles. Repositioning this switch after a brew cycle has been initiated does not change
the brew batch in progress.
ON/OFF SWITCH
Placing the switch in the unlighted lower position cuts power to the timer and stops brewing. Stopping a brew
cycle after it has been started will not stop the flow of water from the funnel. Placing the switch in the lighted upper
position supplies power to the timer and enables the brew circuit.
START SWITCH
Momentarily pressing and releasing this switch starts a brew cycle when the On/Off switch is in the lighted
upper position.
NOTE: The On/Off switch must be in the lighted upper position to initiate and complete a brew cycle.
COFFEE BREWING
1. Select the desired batch size.
2. Insert a BUNN® filter into the funnel.
3. Pour the proper amount of fresh coffee into the filter and level the bed of grounds by gently shaking.
4. Slide the funnel into the funnel rails.
5. Place an empty server under the funnel.
6Place the On/Off switch in the lighted upper position. Momentarily press and release the start switch.
7. 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.
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 120 - 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 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.
•Disconnect power source when servicing, except when electrical tests are specified.
•Follow recommended service procedures.
•Replace all protective shields or safety notices.
