BREWERS
CAUTION – Disconnect the power source from the brewer prior to the removal
of any panel for the replacement or adjustment of any component.
NOTE: Check that the brewer is connected to water supply, the tank is properly
filled, and a funnel and server are in place, prior to setting or modifying batch
sizes.
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. If the brewer has
a batch selector switch, position it to the size to be changed.
To increase a batch size, Press and hold the START or BREW switch until
three clicks are heard. Release the switch and then 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. 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 (this will take
approximately ten seconds), and then release the switch. (Failure to release the switch within two seconds from the third click causes the volume
setting to be aborted). View the level of the liquid being dispensed. When
the desired level is reached, turn the ON/OFF switch to “OFF”. The brewer
remembers this volume and will continue to brew batches of this size until
the volume setting procedure is repeated. Empty server(s), turn selector
switch to positions that have yet to be set, and repeat batch setting procedure until all batch sizes are set.
NOTE: When brewing coffee, batch volumes will decrease due to absorption by

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION - The brewer must be disconnected from the power source until specifi ed in Initial Set-Up.
120V model brewers require 2-wire, grounded service rated 120 volts ac, 15 amp, single phase, 60 Hz.
"A" model brewers require 2-wire, grounded service rated 230 volts ac, 10 amp, single phase, 50 Hz.
"B" model brewers require 2-wire, grounded service rated 100 volts ac, 15 amp, single phase, 60 Hz.
WARNING - If the power cord is ever damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent with
a special cord available from the manufacturer or its service agent in order to avoid a hazard.
Proceed as follows:
Electrical Hook-Up
CAUTION – Improper electrical installation will damage electronic components.
1. An electrician must provide electrical service as specifi ed.
2. Using a voltmeter, check the voltage and color coding of each conductor at the electrical source.
3. Remove top cover from the brewer.
4. Rotate the control thermostat knob fully counterclockwise to the "OFF" position and replace the top cover.
5. Connect the brewer to the power source.
6. If plumbing is to be hooked up later be sure the brewer is disconnected from the power source. If plumbing

PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
These brewers must be connected to a cold water system with operating pressure between 20 (138) and 90
psi (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 fi tting is 1⁄4" fl are.
NOTE - Bunn-O-Matic recommends 1⁄4" copper tubing for installations of less than 25 feet and 3⁄8" for more than 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 fl ow.
This equipment must be installed to comply with the Basic Plumbing Code of the Building Offi cials
and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA) and the Food Service Sanitation Manual of the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For models installed outside the U.S.A., you must comply with
the applicable Plumbing/Sanitation Code for your area.
1. Remove the shipping cap from the bulkhead fi tting on the rear of the brewer.
2. Flush the water line and securely attach it to the bulkhead fi tting on the rear of the brewer.

30. Adjust the delay knob of the timer on the right side of the hood as required. Replace the top lid and plug in
the brewer.
31. Repeat steps 27-30 until the proper dilution timing is achieved.
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 fi lled, and a funnel and server are in place.
1. Modifying batch sizes. To modify a batch volume, fi rst check that the SET/LOCK switch is in the "SET" posi-
tion 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 fi nish 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 fi nish in order to verify that the desired volume has been achieved.
2. Setting batch sizes. To set a batch volume, fi rst 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 tea, batch volumes will decrease due to absorption by the tea 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.

3 minutes the sweetener will come out of the dilution nozzle.)
9. Run sweetener for 1 minute, then set selector switch to the "Off" position. The fl ow will stop.
10. Measure the amount of sweetener dispensed and calculate if the volume needs to be increased or decreased
(Dilution cycle is usually between 3 to 3 1/2 minutes).
11. If adjustment is needed, turning the adjustment valve clockwise decreases the amount of sweetener dis-
pensed and turning the adjustment valve counterclockwise increases the amount of sweetener dispensed.
12. Set the "Delay" knob on the dilution timer back to the 6 to 7 minute setting.
13. After the desired volume has been set, turn the water supply on.
14. Reinstall the top lid and rear panel.
The brewer may now be returned to service.
OPERATING CONTROLS
A. ON/OFF Switch
ON - Placing the switch in the left position allows the start switch to activate a timed brew cycle for three gallons
of tea.
OFF - Placing the switch in the right position stops the brew cycle. Stopping a brew cycle after it has been started
will not stop the fl ow of water into the funnel until the tank syphons down to its proper level. The switch should
always be placed in this position after a brew cycle and whenever the brewer is unattended.
B. Start Switch
Starts a brew cycle when the ON/OFF switch is in the "ON" position.
C. UNSWEET/OFF/SWEET Selector Switch (Models with Sweetener Only)
UNSWEET - Placing the switch in the left positional allows the start switch to activate a timed brew cycle for
three gallons of tea without sweetener.
OFF - Placing the switch in the middle position stops the brew cycle. Stopping a brew cycle after it has been
started will not stop the fl ow of water into the funnel until the tank syphons down to its proper level. The switch
should always be placed in this position after a brew cycle and whenever the brewer is unattended.
SWEET - Placing the switch in the right positional allows the start switch to activate a timed brew cycle for three
gallons of tea with sweetener.

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 qualifi ed service person-
nel.
• 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 fi ttings 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 specifi ed.
• Follow recommended service procedures
• Replace all protective shields or safety notices
