Reference Drawings
1
Step2 - Pause
Once the piston has reached its top point, it pauses to allow the
coffee to brew to the appropriate strength. At the end of the pause
time, a shot of water is dispensed to clean the brew chamber.
3
Step1 - Rise of the Piston
The ground coffee and the water are dispensed into the
brew chamber during the rising of the piston. This action
compresses the air in the cylinder and forces it through the
coffee mixture in the brew chamber, thereby agitating the
brewing coffee.
Step3 - Descent of the Piston
2
12
The descent of the piston creates a vacuum allowing to extract
the coffee from the grounds through the filter paper and into
the cylinder. The piston makes another pause time allowing
all the coffee to drain from the brew chamber.
4
Step4 - Coffee Delivery
The piston follows its course, heading to its lowest point. Distribution
of coffee through the spout begins once the piston has lowered below
the coffee spillway. Meanwhile, the brew chamber lifts to allow the
filter paper to move and discard the spent grounds into the internal
waste bin or coffee chute.

3.6 Hot Water Tank
Access the water tank by removing the back panel.
Make sure the equipment is unplugged when servicing.
If the error message ''Low Water Level in Tank'' is frequently displayed or if the
heating element power supply has been cut out by the water tank safety part (it
happens when the heating element turns ON while there is no water in the tank), the
water tank needs to be opened to detect any damaged or defective part. Check the
following parts: motors behind the water tank, wires around the water tank, water
inlet and water tank parts (inside the tank).

follow the steps below.
1. Open the brewer’s door.
2. Pull down the bean hopper retaining pin.
3. At the same time, pull the bean hopper forward.

3.8 Water Temperature
This equipment has a water temperature setpoint of 200°F to ensure a consistent beverage
quality. There is a +/- 2°F tolerance.
This data represents an average and will not correspond to the temperature of a manual
measurement. The actual water temperature fluctuates because cold water is added to the
tank after every beverage delivery and time is needed to heat the new incoming water up to the
setpoint.
Water’s brewing temperature can also be taken manually by ordering a cup of hot water and
measuring its temperature with a thermometer. There may be a slight difference from the tank
reading. This is normal.
If the temperature measurements show a large temperature differential, verify that the tank is clean
and not obstructed by mineral deposits and scale.
The electronic thermostat is managed by the main board.
Reference Drawings
Unit Safety Measures
In the event of a temperature probe failure, water in the tank might start to boil, causing it to
overflow into the overflow drip tray. The machine will be automatically shut off, but the screen will
remain ON.
If the heating element goes ON and there is no water in the tank, the heating element power
supply is cut out by the water tank safety part. The water tank needs to be opened to detect any
damaged or defective part. Check the following parts: motors behind the water tank, wires around
the water tank, water inlet and water tank parts (inside the tank).

4.6 Water Line Connection
This equipment must be installed in compliance with applicable federal, state,
provincial and/or municipal plumbing codes having jurisdiction.
Make sure that the equipment is unplugged before proceeding with the water
supply installation. Also verify that the incoming water pressure is greater than
20psi and no more than 80psi.
1. Prior to installing the equipment, flush out the water line by running approximately 1 gallon of
water into a pail. This will ensure no sediment from a new installation gets in the equipment.
2. The incoming water supply must have a shut-off valve connected in-line. Water supply should
be a plastic 1/4” or 3/8” outside diameter dedicated line branched off a larger supply line.
3. Make sure the water source is turned off. Firmly secure the inlet fitting onto the inlet valve.
Do not overtighten.
