SRUA Models require 2-wire, grounded service rated 230 volts ac, 30 amp, single phase, 50 Hz. Proceed as follows:

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION – Improper electrical installation can damage the equipment and injure the installer. The chassis must be properly grounded. Do not assume a plumbing line will provide an adequate ground.

1.An electrician must provide electrical service as specified.

2.Using a voltmeter, check the voltage and color coding of each conductor at the electrical source.

3.Before electrically connecting the brewer, remove the left side panel from the hood and rotate the control thermostat knob fully clockwise to the "OFF" position. Keep this knob in the "OFF" position until performing the Initial Setup. Replace the side panel.

4.Remove the lower front panel and connect the proper electrical service to the terminal block.

5.Connect the brewer to the power source and verify the voltage at the terminal block before proceeding. Replace the lower front panel.

6.Disconnect the brewer from the power source. If plumbing has been hooked up, the brewer is ready for the

Initial Setup.

NOTE: A Schematic wiring diagram is included in this manual.

PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

The brewer must be connected to a cold water system with operating pressure between 20 and 90 psi (138 and 621 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 (621 kPa) to reduce it to 50 psi (345 kPa). The water inlet fitting is 3/8" flare.

NOTE - Bunn-O-Matic recommends 3/8" copper tubing for installations from the 1/2" water supply line. 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.

Page 4	10067.3 070102

PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS(cont.)

Plumbing Hook-up

1.Make certain the 3/8" female flare fittings on the short tube from the outlet of strainer (supplied) is securely attached to the male fitting at the bottom rear of the brewer.

2.Flush the water line and securely attach it to the 3/8" male flare fitting on the inlet of the strainer.

3.Turn on the water supply.

4.Inspect the connection for leaks.

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).

INITIAL SETUP

CAUTION - The brewer must be disconnected from the power source throughout the Initial Setup, except when specified in the instructions.

IMPORTANT: Brewer must be level and installed on a sturdy structure.

Electrician's and Plumber's Instructions are provided. These instructions should be carefully followed before proceeding with Initial Setup.

Be sure all electrical and plumbing connections are tight.

1.Disconnect the brewer from the power source.

2.Remove the left side panel from the hood and rotate the control thermostat knob fully counterclockwise to the "OFF" position. Replace the side panel.

3.Connect the brewer to the power source and place the lighted ON/OFF switch in the "ON" position. Water will flow into the tank and should automatically stop after approximately 15 minutes.

NOTE - The lighted ON/OFF switch must be in the "ON" position to automatically refill the tank. The switch should be in the "OFF" position whenever the brewer is left unattended.

4.Disconnect the brewer from the power source.

5.Remove the left side panel from the hood and rotate the control thermostat knob clockwise to the 5 o'clock position. Replace the side panel.

6.Connect the brewer to the power source and wait for the water in the tank to heat to the proper temperature. This will take approximately 1-2 hours, depending on the incoming water temperature. Some water will flow from the overflow tube during this time due to expansion. Draw off a 1/2 gallon decanter of water every 15 minutes during the initial heat-up to lessen the chance of hot water flow from this expansion.

7.Determine the water temperature by checking the water with a thermometer at the hot water faucet (red handle). The best brewing temperature is between 195˚(91˚C) and 200˚F(93˚C). The temperature may be increased by turning the thermostat knob clockwise and decreased by turning the knob counterclockwise.

8.When the desired temperature is attained, place the funnel support, funnel, and funnel cover on top of the coffee reservoir. Center the discharge of the water swing spout over the opening in the top of the funnel cover.

9.Place the lighted ON/OFF switch in the "ON" position and momentarily press and release the start switch. Water should flow from the swing spout into the funnel assembly.

10.Drain and measure the water from the reservoir when the flow of water from this initial cycle stops. If it is three gallons, proceed to step 12. If it is more or less than three gallons, proceed to step 11.

11.Adjust the brew timer as required. See Adjusting Brew Volumes. Repeat steps 9 & 10.

12.The brewer is now properly adjusted to brew coffee.

Page 5	10067.3 070102

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 support, funnel and funnel cover 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 you see three breaks in the water stream from the swing arm. Release the switch (Failure to release the switch within two seconds after the third break in the water stream 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 you see three breaks in the water stream from the swing arm. Release the switch. (Failure to release the switch within two seconds after the third break in the water stream 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 you see three breaks in the water stream from the swing arm, and then release the switch. (Failure to release the switch within two seconds after the third break in the water stream 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. NOTE: HALF-BATCH AND FULL BATCH SETTINGS MUST EACH BE SET SEPARATELY

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 until switch is once again placed in the “SET” position.

COFFEE BREWING

1.Brew cycles may be started whenever water temperature is correct. This condition is indicated by the dial thermometer on front of the brewer. Whenever the pointer is in the green, brewer is ready for brewing.

2.Insert a Bunn® filter in funnel and add desired amount of coffee.

3.Level the bed of coffee and place funnel into the funnel support. Place funnel cover over the funnel and be sure the water swing spout is over the center of the funnel cover.

4.Turn "ON/OFF" switch to the "ON" position.(This switch must be in the "ON" position to start and complete a brewing cycle.)

5.Push and release "START" switch to start the brew cycle.

6.Water swing spout should not be moved as long as water is flowing into the funnel cover. When water stops flowing, it may then be moved for access to brewing funnel.

7.Remove funnel cover. Funnel should not be removed from urn until drip out of coffee has been completed.

8.To empty funnel, invert it over a waste container to dispose of filter and grounds. An additional flange is provided on the funnel to help make this step easier.

NOTE: Hot water may be drawn from the hot water faucet during a brew cycle. However, if a large amount of hot water is drawn off (over 1 gallon) operator should wait to do so between brewing cycles.

CLEANING

NOTE: Tank and tank components should be delimed regularly based on local water conditions. Excessive mineral build up on stainless steel surfaces can initiate corrosion reactions resulting in serious leaks,

1.Remove funnel, funnel lid and support. Under hot water, rinse away all coffee oils. Wipe with a clean damp cloth.

2.Drain coffee reservoir by opening coffee faucet. When empty, close faucet.

3.Cycle two or three inches of water into the coffee reservoir, adding a bucket of crushed ice to obtain a more desirable cleaning temperature, and scrub entire reservoir area.

4.Drain coffee reservoir and rinse. Use clean damp cloth to wipe reservoir.

5.Install coffee funnel support, funnel and funnel lid.

6.Remove the sight gauge cap, insert sight gauge cleaning brush into the sight gauge glass tube and clean.

7.To clean coffee faucet, remove the faucet handle from the faucet and faucet clean out cap. Clean faucet with

a faucet cleaning brush and wipe all parts with a damp cloth. Replace faucet seat cup periodically if badly stained or to stop faucet dripping. DO NOT CLEAN THE HOT WATER FAUCET.

8Reassemble the coffee faucet.

9. Wipe the entire outside surface of the machine with a clean damp cloth. Wipe dry. CAUTION - Surfaces of machine are hot.

FILTER HOLDER

1.A filter holder is supplied with each SRU coffee brewer. Its purpose is to keep the filters in their originally formed shape to properly fit the brewer funnel.

2.It is suggested that only one cluster of filters be placed in the holder at one time for best results.

3.Not using the filter holder may permit the filters to gradually widen out towards a flat shape, especially so if humidity is present. Once a filter has lost its upright side walls, it may tend to collapse inward when placed in the brewing funnel. If this happens the hot water spray may cause one side to fall inwards, letting coffee grounds flow over the edge of filter and into the brewed coffee. Proper use of the holder should prevent this problem.

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 230 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
