INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY:

The machine is shipped with 1 funnel ass’y and a water inlet fitting.

ACCESSORIES USED WITH THE MACHINE:

Sanitary Style Iced Tea Dispenser.

WATER INLET CONNECTION:

The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) requires the following for an NSF approved hook-up.

This equipment is to be installed to comply with the applicable federal, state, or local plumbing codes having jurisdiction.
In addition:

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

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

The FTC-3, FTC-5, FTC-10 are equipped with 1/4 flare water inlet fitting, located in the back of the unit.
Connect the ¼" dia. Copper waterline to the ¼" flare water inlet fitting of the valve.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: A water shut-off valve and a water filter, preferably a combination charcoal/ phosphate filter, to
remove odors and inhibit lime and scale build up in the machine.

Note: In areas with extremely hard water, a water softener must be installed in order to prevent a malfunctioning of the
equipment and in order not to void the warranty.

INITIAL PRIMING - FILLING OF TANK

NOTE: DO NOT PLUG BREWER INTO POWER OUTLET UNTIL YOU ARE SURE THE HEATER SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION.

Switch must remain in the OFF position until the PRIMING OPERATION has been completed. This procedure protects the Ele­ment from accidental burnout.

• Shut off heater switch [toggle down]. This will bypass the lockout circuit.

• Activate the red power switch.

• Activate the green grew switch for one complete cycle.

• At the end of one brew cycle, discard water from dispenser and reposition under brew funnel.

TOTAL VOLUME OUTPUT CHECK:

• Place empty CARRIER less Cover under funnel.

• Activate GREEN BREW SWITCH.

• At the end of brew cycle (about 10 minutes) water level inside Carrier should be within 2 inches from the top.

• If necessary adjust TIMER. See TIMER ADJUSTMENTS.

TURNING ON HEATING ELEMENTS:
