.
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 fitting is 1⁄4" flare.
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 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).

INITIAL SET-UP (cont.)
13. Empty the dispenser.
14. Plug in the brewer and wait for the water in the tank to heat to brewing temperature (approximately 20
minutes). Some water will drip from the funnel during this time; this is due to expansion and should not
occur thereafter.
15. Place the ICED/OFF/HOT switch in the “HOT” position and begin another brew cycle. Empty the reservoir
after water has stopped flowing from the funnel.
16. Allow the water in the tank to heat to the proper temperature and begin another brew cycle.
17. Measure the total water volume from the dispenser. It should be approximately 64 ounces.
18. If not, adjust the Hot Tea timer as required. See
Adjusting Brew Volumes.
19. Start and measure another cycle.
20. Repeat steps 17-19 until the recommended total water volume (64 ounces) is achieved.
21 The brewer is now ready to brew approximately one-half gallon of hot tea or 3-gallons of freshly brewed
room temperature tea.
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.

CLEANING
CAUTION – Do not keep brewed tea overnight. Clean and sanitize your iced tea dispenser daily
1. Remove and thoroughly clean the brew funnel. The funnel tip and screen must be free from any tea particles
or residue. Reassemble the funnel.
2. Unplug the brewer. Remove and thoroughly rinse the sprayhead. The holes must be open and clear of any
mineral deposits. Wipe the sprayhead panel clean with a damp cloth.
3. Insert the deliming spring into the sprayhead fitting until no more than one inch is visible and move it in and
out 5 or 6 times. Insert the spring into the airvent hole in the sprayhead panel and move it in and out 5 or 6
times. Reattach the sprayhead.
4. Wash the entire outside surface of the brewer with a clean damp cloth.
OPERATING CONTROLS
A. ICED/OFF/HOT Switch
ICED – Placing the switch in the left position allows the start switch to activate a timed brew cycle delivering
.5 gallon of tea concentrate and 2.5 gallons of dilution water into the dispenser.
OFF – Placing the switch in the center position stops the brew cycle. Stopping a brew cycle after it has
started will not stop the flow of water into the funnel until the tank syphons down to its level. The switch should
always be placed in this position after a brew cycle and whenever the brewer is unattended.
HOT – Placing the switch in the right position allows the start switch to activate a timed brew cycle delivering
.5 gallon of hot tea into an airpot dispenser.
B. Start Switch
Starts a brew cycle when the ICED/OFF/HOT switch is in either the “ICED” or “HOT” position.
BREWING
1. Begin brewing with a clean empty brew funnel and dispenser. (Be sure the dispenser is open.)
2. Insert a BUNN® filter into the funnel.
3. Pour the fresh loose tea leaves into the filter.
4. Level the bed of tea leaves by gently shaking.
5. Slide the funnel into the funnel rails until it stops.
6. Place the ICED/OFF/HOT switch in the desired position.
7. Momentarily press the start switch.
8. Carefully remove the brew funnel and discard its contents after liquid stops flowing from the funnel.
CAUTION – The funnel contains hot liquid. Remove funnel slowly.
9. Place the ICED/OFF/HOT switch in the “OFF” position to prevent a false start.

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 person-
nel.
• All electronic components have 120 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
