INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Warranty is void if the Brewer is connected to any Voltage other than the Voltage specified on the
data label of the Brewer.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Carefully unpack the Brewer by cutting the straps and lifting the carton off the Brewer.

ASSEMBLY AND SET-UP

The Brewer is shipped complete with:

DESCRIPTION BC1, 301, 120, 240 BC2, 302
Adjustable legs 4 4
Carriers complete with Faucets and Covers 1 2
Funnels with sample Filter pack 1 2

Remove carriers from Brewer, one has the four (4) legs packed inside. Install legs by tilting Brewer on its
back and screwing the legs into the threaded leg supports on bottom.

WATER HOOK UP

The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) requires the following for NSF approved installation:

1. A quick disconnect water connection or enough extra coiled tubing (at least 2x the depth of the unit) so
that the Brewer can be moved for cleaning underneath.

2. An approved flow-back prevention device such as a double check valve to be installed between Brewer
and water supply.

WATER CONNECTION

The Brewer comes equipped with a ¼ inch compression water inlet fitting located in the back. Use a ¼ inch
copper tubing to connect the Brewer to a cold water supply. Water pressure should be: 20 PSI min. to 90
PSI max. An external shut-off valve and a water filtering system with a charcoal filter are highly
recommended.

Turn water supply on and check for leaks at the water inlet connections, tighten compression fitting if
necessary.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

A terminal block inside the base compartment is provided for electrical connections. Opening for field
conduit connections are provided in the bottom and the back of the base.
To access the Terminal Block
from rear panel by lifting base cover up and lifting back towards rear panel.

INITIAL PRIMING – Filling of Tank

The BC Brewers are shipped with the Thermostat in the OFF
position until the Brewer has been fully primed.
a. Turn water supply on and check for leaks at the water inlet connections. Tighten compression fitting if
necessary.

b. Turn on power to the Brewer. The Brewer will automatically start filling. After 6 minutes the filling cycle will
stop and the thermostat should be turned clockwise to the full ON
the brewer to reach full brewing temperature (197'-203').
When the GREEN READY LIGHT comes ON

NOTE: Before proceeding further, make sure the sample Filter pack has been remov ed from the
funnel.

CHECKING BREW CYCLE OUTPUTS

The BC-Series brewers are factory preset to deliver the proper amount of brewing water for the 12 cup,
24 cup and 36 cup brew cycles. Nevertheless, it is a good practice to check the output levels prior to
brewing the first batch of coffee.

BC1 and BC2: Full 36 cups (3 decanters) per brew cycle with a 20% by-pass.
BC120 and BC240: Selectively 12 cups (1 decanter) or 24 cups (2 decanters) per brew cycle.
No by-Pass.
BC301 and BC302: Selectively 12, 24 and 36 cups per brew cycle with a 20% by-pass for the 36 cup
cycle only.

TO START A BREW CYCLE:

Turn Warmer Switch to the ON position. The Warmer Switches also double as CYCLE STOP switches.
With Funnel and Carrier in place activate GREEN BREW switch.

On BC120, BC240, BC301 and BC302 brewers first activate brew switches marked 12 cups and then
check output. Do the same with the 24 cup brew switch and the 36 cup brew switch for the BC301 and
BC302 units.

NOTE: 12 cups equal 1 full decanter.
If necessary adjust the timer(s) to increase or decrease output levels. See Timer adjustments.

ADJUSTMENTS

1. BY-PASS FLOW VALVE ADJUSTMENTS

Depending on the model number, the BC Brewers have been factory set to brew 12, 24 and/or 36 cups of
coffee, with the BY-PASS adjusted for a 20% BY-PASS flow of brewing water for the 36 cup, brew output
only. Since water hardness, the brand of coffee, and the length of brew time are important factors in final
drink taste, it may be necessary to adjust the percentage of BY-PASS. In general, the more ground
coffee used for each brew, the higher the percentage of BY-PASS. Proceed as follows to adjust BY­PASS:

Place empty carrier without cover under brew funnel.
a. Pull brew funnel out 3 inches, exposing BY-PASS outlet behind funnel.
b. Activate warmer/cycle stop switch. Switch will be lit.
c. Hold measuring cup under BY-PASS outlet and activate Green Brew Switch.

After 15 seconds, push warmer/cycle stop switch to stop cycle.
d. Measure ounces of water in cup and ounces of water in carrier. Divide ounces in cup by total volume

dispensed (add ounces in cup and carrier) to get the BY-PASS ratio.

e. To get more BY-PASS, turn slotted adjustment screw in spray-head adjuster Counter-ClockWise.

Turning adjuster screw clockwise will decrease the BY-PASS flow. See figure below.

NOTE: The BY-PASS valve is activated only when the 36 cup cycle is selected.
The BC301 and BC302 units do not use the BY-PASS when brewing for 12 and 24 cups.
The BC120 and BC240 models only brew for 12 or 24 cups and therefore do not have the BY-PASS.

2. TIMER ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

Remove the top cover to access the brew timer(s).
To INCREASE output: turn timer knob a small increment CLOCKWISE.
To DECREASE output: turn timer knob a small increment COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
Check output level in carrier.

3. THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT
The BC Brewers are factory set to deliver hot brewing water at 200' F. The water temperature, at the
spray head, should be between 195' F-203' F with the thermostat knob at its maximum clockwise position.
If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:

a. To RAISE water temperature, turn temperature control knob to

its maximum clockwise position. Remove the knob and locate
slotted adjustment screw inside hollow thermostat shaft. Using a
narrow-bladed screwdriver, engage slotted adjustment screw
and turn it 1/4 turn counter-clockwise. The thermostat will cut in
and the Green ready light will go off. When Green ready light
comes on after a few minutes, measure temperature and repeat
if necessary.

b. To LOWER water temperature, simply turn knob one notch counter-

clockwise to next lower number on dial.

HINT: To measure water temperature accurately, remove the spray-head for a solid water stream.

4. WATER FLOW RATE ADJUSTMENT

Locate adjustment screw on valve (as show here).
Using an Allen Key or a flat screwdriver, rotate ¼ turn at a time,
Clockwise (CW) to decrease water flow rate or
Counter-Clockwise (CCW) to increase water flow rate.
Check water flow output after each ¼ turn.
