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.
LOCATION OF TOGGLE HEATER SWITCH:
FTC-3, FTC-5, AND FTC-5L, FTC-10; SEE BACK OF TOP CONTROL BOX.
PRIMING PROCEDURE:
• Turn on the water supply and check for leaks at connections.
• Plug power cord into a 15 amp 120 volt grounded outlet.
• Remove sample filter pack from funnel and insert funnel back into machine.
• Position carrier under funnel making sure holes in cover line up with funnel and dilution tube.
• Push RED POWER SWITCH to ON position.
• Push GREEN BREW SWITCH and release. Water should start to flow from the DILUTION TUBE into the CARRIER.
No water will flow from the funnel until halfway through the cycle (about 5 minutes).
PRIMING AND TESTING PROCEDURE BEFORE UNIT HAS REACHED BREWING TEMPERATURE:
• 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:
• Flip the Toggle Switch in the back of the brewer to the UP or ON position.
• Allow 20 minutes to reach brewing temperature (195 F).
• When the READY LIGHT comes on, the brewer is ready to brew.
4
BREWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Place empty CARRIER under Funnel. Make sure openings in cover line up properly with funnel outlet and dilution tube.
TEA BAGS
- Place correct number of tea bag(s) directly into brew funnel.
Replace funnel into brew head of unit and push brew switch when GREEN READY LIGHT comes on.
GROUND TEA LEAVES - Place paper filter into brew funnel and add proper amount of fresh ground tea leaves into filter.
Replace funnel into brew head of unit and push brew switch when GREEN READY LIGHT comes on. See chart
below for the recommended ounces of ground tea leaves.
TEA BREWING RECOMMENDED MEASUREMENTS
MODEL # SIZE & QUANTITY OF TEA BAGS GROUND TEA LEAVES - OUNCE

Serve Fresh Brewed Tea from dispensing faucet into tea glass over ice.
ADJUSTMENTS TO BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY.
CAUTION: BREWERS SHOULD BE UNPLUGGED FROM ELECTRICAL OUTLETS
BREW VOLUME and STRENGTH ADJUSTMENTS:
The water flow rate coming from the hot water tank is constant/fixed at 0.75 gal/min.
Increasing or decreasing the amount of hot water dispensed from tank can also be used to adjust the strength of the tea.
Longer water flows – More water – Weaker tea; Less water flows – Less water – Stronger tea.
TIMER ADJUSTMENTS FTC-3, FTC-5:
• Remove top cover and Locate Timer on the left side.
• To brew MORE tea: Turn timer knob one increment CLOCKWISE.
To brew LESS tea: Turn the timer knob one increment COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
• Go through a COMPLETE brew cycle. Repeat if necessary.
“TEACH ME” TIMER L576A ADJUSTMENTS – FTC 10:

If field adjustments are needed, INCREASE or DECREASE temperature by GRADUALLY rotating the adjustment stem or
knob CLOCKWISE OR COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
Type B - Thermostats can be fine-tuned as follows:
• Make sure ADJUSTMENT KNOB is turned clockwise to its maximum position.
• Pull off ADJUSTMENT KNOB and locate small adjustment screw.
Turn 1/4 turn COUNTER-CLOCKWISE TO INCREASE temperature and CLOCKWISE TO DECREASE temperature.
• When GREEN BREW LIGHT comes on, take all temperature readings at the spray head with the spray head removed.

600 Series Pinch Tube Faucet
The Pinch Tube Faucet is used with a super-sanitary, disposable bag and tube. The tube is inserted through the faucet; product does not contact the valve. The pinch tube requires not cleaning.
Faucet Assembly Instructions:
1. Assemble faucet body [1] to existing shank [2]
2. Place handle in lock open position [3].
3. Feed the tube from bag [4] through shank [2] and through faucet body [1].
Pull tube completely through faucet so the bag is flush with the shank on the inside of the container.
4. Return handle to closed position [5].
5. Cut excess tube from bag so only 1/2” extends beyond the end of the faucet.
Cleaning Instructions:
Since each bag and tube is discarded after use, this valve requires virtually no dayly cleaning.
However, should cleaning be required, follow these steps:
With handle in lock open position [3]
1. Remove bag and tube assembly from container.
2. Remove entire upper assembly by unscrewing the bonnet [6].
3. Clean all parts, including faucet body and bushing in hot soapy water.
4. Sanitize with chloring [50 PPM], Iodine [14 PPM], or quaternary ammonium compound [100 PPM].
5. Rinse with clear hot water.
6. Screw upper assembly back onto body [hand tighten only], leaving handle in lock open position [3].
7. Follow assembly steps above.
IMPORTANT: To prevent bacterial growth
and protect tea flavor, clean and sanitize tea
brewing and storage equipment at least ONCE
A DAY according to manufacturer’s directions.
