Page 7
Before operating your coffee system for the first time:
.
Make sure you are using the right type of water.
Call your local water company. Ask them for the water hardness level of the water supplied to
the building where the coffee system will be installed.
If the water hardness level is above four grains per gallon (4gpg):
>> For CM24TBISAS (tank model), pour only filtered water with a hardness level of 4gpg or
less into the water tank. Do not use distilled water.
>> For CM24PBISAS (plumbed model), contact a water treatment specialist and have a water
treatment system installed to reduce the water hardness level to 4gpg or less.
IMPORTANT: Dacor _) does not recommend installation of a reverse osmosis filtration system. Reverse
osmosis systems can cause low water pressure. When the water pressure is low, the coffee water
volume (level) can fluctuate and the water pump may make a "hammering" sound.
2. Clean the system completely according to the Cleaning and Maintenance section
(including) System Cleaning, to remove bacteria that may have accumulated during
storage and shipping.
Clean your coffee system regularly according to the chart below:

WARNING
• To avoid sickness, clean the coffee system completely according
to the Cleaning and Maintenance section (including System
Cleaning) before operating it for the first time. Doing so will
remove any bacteria left in the unit during shipping and storage.
• Make sure the hardness of the water supplied to, or poured into
your coffee system does not exceed the maximum stated below.
Using water harder than that specified will eventually damage the
internal parts and void your warranty.
• DO NOT PUSH ANY BU-I-I-ONS OR TURN ANY KNOBS ON THE
CONTROL PANEL UNTIL ALL BODY PARTS AND CLOTHING ARE
CLEAR OF THE BREWING COMPARTMENT. KEEP ALL BODY
PARTS AWAY FROM THE BREWING COMPARTMENT DURING OR
IMMEDIATELY AFTER DRINK DISPENSING. HOT LIQUIDS AND
STEAM CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
Before Your Coffee System is Installed
1. Call your local water company. Ask them for the water hardness level of the
water supplied to the building where your coffee system will be installed.
2. If the water hardness level is above four grains per gallon (4gpg):
• If you are installing model CM24PBISAS, contact a water
treatment specialist and have a water treatment system installed to
reduce the water hardness level to 4gpg or less.
• If you are installing model CM24TBISAS, pour only filtered water with a
hardness level of 4gpg or less into the water tank. DO NOT use
distilled water.
3. Have a licensed electrician install a dedicated, grounded power receptacle
near the coffee system, if one is not available.
4. Have a qualified installer install the coffee system in the desired location
according to the accompanying installation instructions.

Things to Know Before You Start
WARNING
• To prevent personal injury, keep your hands out of the coffee
bean container.
Some of the metal surfaces behind the front panel are
hot when the power switch is on. Avoid contact with these
surfaces.
• Do not pour flavored, un-roasted, partial coffee beans or
ground coffee into the coffee bean container. Doing so may
cause the coffee grinding mechanism to jam. Use flavored
coffee creamers or syrups after making the coffee to flavor it.
You may also make flavored coffee using ground coffee pods
placed inside the dispenser filter instead of ground coffee.
• To avoid steam coming out of the unit unexpectedly, rotate
the steam nozzle knob fully counter-clockwise before turning
on the power switch.
For best results, the filter holder (drink dispensing assembly) must
be hot. Keep it attached to the dispensing collar when the coffee
system is heating up.
A small amount of dripping from the drink dispenser is normal after
drinks are dispensed.
This coffee system is designed to make one or two hot drink(s) at a
time.
For proper operation, clean your coffee system regularly according to
the cleaning schedule on page 22.
The coffee system purges water into the drip tray to ensure that the
water used for drink making is hot. Empty out the drip tray when it
starts to get full.
IMPORTANT
Drink volume and strength will vary due to coffee
type, coffee fineness, grind time, amount of
tamping and the drink volume setting. You may
need to experiment for best results. To adjust the
coffee fineness (grinder adjustment) see page 30.
To adjust the grind time see page 31.
Use and Care Manual
With your coffee system you can experiment to come up with all
sorts of coffee drinks that suit your personal preference!
