UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS: Carefully unpack urn and inspect immediately for shipping damage. Your automatic coffee urn was shipped in
a carton designed to give it maximum protection in normal handling. It was thoroughly inspected before leaving the factory and the carrier
accepted and signed for it. File any claims for shipping damage or irregularities directly with the carrier, not with the company.
ASSEMBLY (SEE Illustration 3): The four legs (38), faucets (36), vent cap drain (2) and water strainer assembly (23,24) are packed separately
with urn. Install legs by tilting urn on its side and screwing legs into urn leg supports until hand tight. Carefully right unit and install in its
permanent location, being sure to leave at least 6" on right side of urn for access to controls. Level urn by adjusting legs. Then attach faucets
and install vent cap drain. Cover(s) (3) are shipped with knob(s) on inside to prevent damage. Simply unscrew and reverse knob(s) and
hardware. Your urn comes with one brew basket (11) and an introductory filter pack. Additional Cecilware filters are available from your dealer.

** INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS **

FOR QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONS ONLY

CAUTION: DO NOT TURN THERMOSTAT ON UNTIL ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED.

WATER HOOK -UP (See Illustration 3): Your urn comes supplied with a water strainer assembly (23,24). Connect copper tubing (24) to elbow
(22) at lower back of side box; then connect other end of water strainer to a suitable length of 1 /4" tubing with shut-off valve (plumber
supplied), connected to cold water supply.

The National Sanitation Foundation also requires an approved flowback prevention device such as a double check valve to be installed
between urn and water supply. Adjust water pressure to 20 p.s.i. for proper operation.

STEAM URNS

TO PRIME: CAUTION: THERMOSTAT MUST BE IN THE "OFF position. Turn on water supply and electrical power to urn and wait until water

is visible in center gauge glass (left-hand gauge glass on 3-gallon single urns). Priming can be accelerated by manual filling through vent cap
opening in top of urn, using a water hose. Then turn thermostat knob (33, III. 3) to 10; thermostat pilot light shows heater is on. Urn jacket will
continue to fill automatically until water reaches the proper level. When indicator on dial thermometer (32) approaches the "W" in BREW zone,
197°-205°F (92°-96°C), urn is ready to brew coffee. In high altitude locations (at least 5000 ft. above sea level), thermostat may have to be
lowered to prevent boiling.

NOTE: FOLLOW THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS FOR INITIAL PRIMING AND AFTER DRAINING URN FOR SERVICING.
TO BREW COFFEE: Follow instructions on front of urn.

ELECTRIC URNS

All electric urns come wired single (1) or three (3) phase, except for the FE300 which is 3 phase only. See wiring diagrams,
Illustration 6.

1 Phase Hookup. Remove screws and lift off side box door. Terminal block (20, III. 3) is located on rear wall of side box. Install a
suitable conduit through knockout in rear of side box and connect No. 14 neutral wire to the center connection of terminal block
(20). Then connect the remaining 2 wires to terminals L1 and L2. 3 Phase Hookup. 3 phase units have a 4-wire terminal block.
Connect No. 14 neutral wire to end terminal marked NEUT and connect remaining wires to terminal L1, L2 and L3.

NOTE: Field wiring must be suitable for 75° C. Use copper wire only for power supply connections.

GROUNDING: ON ALL URNS, CONNECT A GROUND WIRE TO GROUNDING LUG (19) TO COMPLY WITH LOCAL

ELECTRICAL CODES (14 AWG min. - 75°C)

** CORRECT PROCEDURES FOR BREWING COFFEE AS RECOMMENDED BY THE COFFEE BREWING CENTER **

1. Use fresh urn grind or drip grind coffee . . . spread evenly on filter for proper extraction.

2. Urn should be connected to cold water supply and water heated to 197°-205°F (92°-96°C) before brewing coffee.

3. While brewing, leave cover on urn to preserve aroma and prevent excessive steaming. Total contact time for urn grind should be
approximately 4-6 minutes.

4. Remove grounds and filter as soon as coffee has dripped through. Never pour coffee back through spent grounds.

5a. Urns with automatic agitator (FE and INS series) blend coffee automatically at end of brewing cycle. Press and hold agitator ON switch

(31) for additional blending.
b. If urn has a manual agitator (CL series), press and hold agitator ON switch (31) for 15 seconds after brewing cycle to blend coffee.
c. On urns without agitator (CRS series), blend coffee by drawing off about half of batch and pouring back into brew (after removing

grounds and filter).

6. Hold coffee at 185°-190°F (85°-88°C) (about 8 on thermostat). Brewed coffee should not be held for longer than one (1) hour
and should never be reheated.

SOLID-STATE TIMER ADJUSTMENT (ALL FE's, INS's and CRS's): A factory pre-set electronic solid-state timer controls the volume of
water for each brew cycle. If more or less water is desired, follow these instructions:

Turn knob of timer (18, III.3) clockwise to increase volume of water or counterclockwise to decrease it. Run through a complete brew
cycle after each adjustment. Since timer cannot be readjusted in mid-cycle, simply push cycle stop switch (25) at bottom right of side
box if water gets too high. If maximum setting of timer fails to deliver enough water, check water pump and spray head and follow
instructions under maintenance.

NDTE: The FE200 features a dual timer. The upper knob is factory-adjusted for a 11b. brew, the lower knob for the full 2 Ib. brew.

MECHANICAL TIMER ADJUSTMENT (ALL CL's): The factory pre-set mechanical timer can be adjusted for more or less water by

following these instructions:

Remove timer knob and loosen lock nut holding stop pin. To increase volume of water, rotate stop pin clockwise. To decrease, rotate
counterclockwise. Tighten lock nut and replace knob.

SPRAY ARM BY-PASS ADJUSTMENT (ALL FE's, INS's, CL2DD and CRS661 (See III. 2).: Adjustable bypass allows proper brew
extraction even with variations caused by soft or treated water. If bypass requires adjustment to correct for local water conditions, proceed
as follows:

Position spray head over center of coffee liner and press BREW switch. Turn by-pass adjustment screw clockwise to decrease by ­pass flow (for stronger coffee) or counter-clockwise to increase it (for less strong coffee). At end of brewing cycle, note volume of
water in coffee liner. Readjust timer if necessary to obtain the correct volume of water.

THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT: To adjust temperature of water in urn jacket (205°F or 96°C), turn thermostat knob (33, III. 3) to 10
(maximum clockwise position). Pull off knob and insert a small screwdriver into adjusting screw in center of shaft when temperature on dial
thermometer (32) approaches the "W" in the word BREW. Slowly rotate screw clockwise until thermostat pilot light goes out. Turning screw
clockwise lowers temperature and turning counter-clockwise raises it. Apply a sealer (glyptol or fingernail polish) to screw after adjustment
has been made.

SPRAY ARM ASSEMBLY: The new improved spray head system was designed to facilitate easier cleaning and maintenance. The swivel
valve has a larger flow opening and the spray head cap is equipped with a stainless steel disc, used to control the flow of water.

When ordering replacement parts, be sure to order the correct disc and spray cap for each urn, as shown in Illustration 2.

** MAINTENANCE TIPS **

3

To prevent lime buildup, especially in hard water areas, remove and clean spray head cap and spray head disc frequently. To clean swivel
valve (see III. 2) loosen nut and remove spray arm assembly from urn. Remove sediment by inserting a pipe cleaner through small hole in
valve. If maximum setting of timer (18. III. 3) fails to deliver enough water, check water pump (28).
