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 counter top. BunnO-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).

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.

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 electric components have 120 volt ac voltage on their terminals. Shorting of terminals or the application
of external voltages may result in equipment failure.
•Intermittent operation of electronic equipment is unlikely. Component 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 unless disconnected from the power source. Keep away from combustibles.
WARNING
•Exercise extreme caution when servicing electrical equipment.
•Disconnect the brewer from the power source when servicing, except when electrical tests are specified.
•Follow recommended service procedures
