Reference Drawings

1

Step2 | Pause

Once the piston has reached its top point, it will pause to allow the
coffee to brew to the appropriate strength. At the end of the pause
time, there will be one shot of water to clean the brew chamber.

3

Step1 | Rise of the Piston

The ground coffee and the water are dispensed into the brew
chamber during the rise 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.

Step3 | 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

Step4 | 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.

3.9 Water Temperature

This equipment has a coffee brewing setpoint of 200°F water temperature to ensure a consistent
beverage quality. There is a +/- 2°F tolerance.

This value 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.

Unit Safety Measures

In the event of a temperature probe failure, water in the tank might start to boil. This will cause it to
overflow into the overflow cup and will automatically shut the machine off. However, the computer
screen will remain active (ON).

Reference Drawings

Access from the back of the machine.

Temperature can be set by the user in the System1 sub tab (see section 6.6.1).

4.4 Leveling the Equipment

For optimal performance of the equipment, it is important to ensure that it is leveled. Avoiding to do
so can create variations in product delivery.

1. Place a level indicator on top of the equipment (remove bean hopper to find a flat surface).

2. Adjust the four (4) threaded leveling glides of the equipment to reach a leveled position.

4.5 Drip Tray Installation

Place the drip tray grill on the drip tray, then slide the tray under the machine and find the two (2)
hooks to secure it in place. See the image below for reference.

4.6 Adjusting the Tank Overflow Cup

The overflow cup is a safety feature. If the water tank overflows, the extra water will
leak in the pipe down to the overflow cup. If there is too much water, the float will go
up and activate the switch. The machine will then stop automatically.

It is important to verify that the float is positioned properly in the overflow cup
because it can move around in transportation. If the float is not properly in place, the
switch will be activated and the unit will automatically shut down sensing an overflow
situation. The computer screen will stay ON showing an error message.

It is important to verify that the overflow cup is in place with the highest side facing
front and well secured with the green tape. If the cup needs to be removed, make
sure that it is replaced with the highest side facing front and the overflow tube in
the cup. Fasten it in place with tape. This will ensure the float works properly and
activates the overflow switch if a problem occurs.

4.7 Water Line Connection

This equipment must be installed in compliance with applicable federal, state,
provincial and/or municipal plumbing codes having jurisdiction.

Make sure the equipment is unplugged before proceeding with the water supply
installation. Also verify that the incoming water pressure is greater than 20psi and
no more than 80psi.

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.

4. Make sure the equipment is unplugged. Connect the water line to the quick connect inlet

fitting.

5. Turn the water valve on, sending water to the brewer. If there are any leaks, tighten
connections to stop leakage.

This procedure does not take into consideration the installation of a water filtration
system. Please refer to the water filter manufacturer installation instructions and
incorporate them into the above procedures.

4.8 Electrical Connection

This equipment must be installed in compliance with applicable federal, state,
provincial and/or municipal electrical codes having jurisdiction.

Make sure:

- The equipment is OFF before plugging it in.

- The equipment has its own electrical outlet.

- NO extension cord is used.

1. Locate the unit’s power cord and remove it from its transport socket. Discard the transport
water tank safety part (recyclable).
