OPERATING ENVIRONMENTAL TEMPERATURE:
Do not store unit in temperatures of 32° F or below with tank filled with water. Make sure tank is drained and lines purged to avoid damage.
: The appliance is not suitable for unsupervised use by young children or aged or infirm persons, according to national standards.
NOTE
If the main power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similar qualified person in order
to avoid a hazard.
UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY:
The machine is shipped with a set (4) adjustable leveling feet already mounted, (1) brew funnel, (1) brew-thru cover, and (1) water inlet fitting and
(1) Operating and Service Manual.
WATER INLET CONNECTION:
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.
The tea dispenser is equipped with a ¼" flare water inlet fitting which is located in the back of the unit.
Connect the ¼" dia. Copper waterline to the ¼" flare water inlet fitting of the valve.
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.
3. For use of machine outside the United States of America, connection to water supply mains should comply with the national “Model Water
Byelaws”.
The brewer must be connected to a cold water supply with an operating pressure of 20psi minimum and 90psi maximum from a ½ in. supply line.
If pressure should exceed 90psi, install a pressure regulator to reduce the operating pressure to 50psi. Use ¼ inch copper tubing for installation of
less then 25 ft. and 3/8 copper tubing for more then 25ft from a ½ in cold water supply line.
Install the water inlet fitting provided onto the inlet valve located in the back of the unit. Do not over tighten.
Connect the ¼” copper waterline to the ¼" flare water inlet fitting on the valve.
NOT RECOMMENDED! The uses of a saddle valve to hook up the brewer since most of them restrict the water flow causing inconsistent brew
batches.

Note: In areas with extremely hard water, a Water Softener must be installed to prevent a
malfunctioning of the equipment due to high lime and mineral buildup. Not doing so it will
void the warranty.
COMPLIANCES

Administration (FDA.)
INITIAL SET-UP,
1 .Make sure unit is disconnected from power source.
2..Remove top cover and make sure that heater switch is in the OFF position. This will prevent Heater Damage
due to lack of water in the tank.
3. Plug the brewer into a power source.
4. Water will flow into the tank and will stop when the tank is fully primed ( 4-5 minutes)
Note: This process Is automatic and is controlled by the Level Control Board and the Level Control Sensor
plugged into the top of the Tank.
5. Flip the Heater Toggle Switch to the ON position. This activates the heater . Allow 15-20 min. heat up time.
6. Unplug the brewer and Replace the top cover.
7. Re-connect the brewer and test run the unit by going through a Brew Cycle .
NOTE:
The machine is equipped with a Low Temperature Lockout system and will not brew until the hot water tank is
filled with water and has reached the proper brew temperature of 197-203°F.
Insert the Brew Funnel and position empty Dispenser under it.
Go through one Brew cycle to make sure unit is operating properly.
Note: To test the brew cycle with cold water, flip Heater Switch to OFF position. This deactivates the
temperature lockout and allows speedier testing.
Tea Brewing Procedures.
The Brewers are Factory preset to deliver the correct amount of hot water for best extraction of Hot Tea
Concentrate and Cold Water Dilution. See Flavor Chart. Different Tea Blends might require some secondary
adjustments of Hot and Cold water ratios in order to achieve their desired flavor profiles. This is easily
accomplished by adjusting the Cold and Hot Brew Timers located inside the top. See instructions under
Adjustments (for qualified Service Personnel only)
