Installation
(For Qualified Service Technicians Only)
Keys To A Successful Installation
If not installed correctly by qualified personnel, the brewer may not operate properly and damage may result.
Damages resulting from improper installation are not covered by the warranty.
Here are the key points to consider before installation:
Electrical:
The electrical diagram is located on the inside of the cover.
The installation must comply with applicable federal, state, and local codes having jurisdiction at your
location. Check with your local inspectors to determine what codes will apply.
Plumbing:
This equipment is to be installed to comply with the applicable federal, state, or local plumbing codes.
The water line must be flushed thoroughly prior to connecting it to the brewer to prevent debris from
contaminating the machine. A water filter is strongly recommended.
Never connect the brewer to a hot water supply. Cold water only.
Verify that the water line will provide at least 1.5 gallons per minute
General:
Utilize only qualified beverage equipment service technicians for installation. A Service Company Directory
may be found on our web site, http://www.fetco.com.
Installation Instructions
Brewer Setup
1. Review the Dimensions for the unit you are installing. Verify that the brewer will fit in the space intended
for it, and that the counter or table will support the total weight of the brewer and dispenser when filled.
2. Place the brewer on the counter or stand.
3. When the brewer is in position, level it front to back
and side to side by adjusting the legs.
Water Connection
1. Water inlet is a 3/8 inch male flare fitting.
2. The brewer must be connected to a cold water supply only. Hot water must never be used.
3. Install a water shut off valve near the brewer to facilitate service. If an in-line water filter is used, it should
be installed after the water shut off valve and in a position to facilitate filter replacement.
4. Flush the water supply line and filter before connecting it to the brewer.
5. Verify that the water line will provide at least 1.5 gallons per minute, and that the water pressure is between
20 and 75 psig.
6. Use a wrench on the factory fitting when connecting the incoming water line. This will reduce stress on the
internal connections and reduce the possibility of leaks developing after the install has been completed.
Electrical Connection
1. Verify that the actual voltage at the electrical service connection is compatible with the specifications on the
brewer’s serial number label.
2. The temperature and water tank fill level are pre-set at the factory.
There is no need to turn off the heaters during the installation
process. The heaters are disabled by the control board until the
tank is full of water. The heating process will start automatically
when the tank has filled.
Warning: Legs are to be adjusted for
level ing the brewer only. Do not use
f or height adjustment or extend them
higher than necessary.
W arning: To prevent
electrical shock, this
unit must be properly
groun ded.

Final Setup
1. Turn on the incoming water supply line and inspect both inside and outside of the brewer for leaks in all
fittings and tubes
2. Turn on the incoming power.
3. Turn on the brewer’s main power switch.
4. Within 6 seconds, the hot water tank will begin filling until the water is sensed by the probe at the top of the
tank.
5. The heaters will be disabled by the control board until the tank is full.
6. The brewer will be ready for operation as soon as the ready light comes on to signify that the water tank is
up to temperature. The time required to reach brewing temperature will vary according to the electrical
configuration ordered.
7. Review the Operating Instructions. Brew one full batch (water only) to confirm proper fill levels. See the
programming instructions to adjust batch settings.
8. Re-attach the covers after one final inspection for leaks. Look closely in the top of the brewer at the
dispense fittings during this inspection.
Operator Training
Review the operating procedures with whoever will be using the brewer. Pay particular attention to the following
areas:
1. Don't remove the brew basket until it has stopped dripping.
2. Make sure the dispenser is empty before brewing into it.
3. Show how to attach covers, close, and or secure the dispensers for transporting.
4. Show the location and operation of the water shut off valve as well as the circuit breaker for the brewer.
5. Steam from the tank will form condensation in the vent tube. This condensation will drip into and then out
of the brew baskets. 1/4 cup discharging overnight is possible. Place an appropriate container under the
brew basket when not in use.
6. We recommend leaving the power to the brewer on overnight. The water tank is well insulated and will use
very little electricity to keep the tank hot. Leaving the brewer in the on position will also avoid delays at the
beginning of shifts for the brewer to reach operating temperature.

Operating Procedures
1. Turn brewer power switch to the on position
• The power switch will illuminate to indicate that the brewer has power and is operational.
• When the ready light illuminates, the brewer is fully up to temperature. The amount of time required to
gain full operating temperature will vary depending on voltage and the temperature of the incoming
water.
2. Prepare the brew basket.
• Place a paper filter in the brew basket. Pour the appropriate amount of tea or coffee into the paper
filter, and distribute it evenly. The amount used will depend on your personal tastes and the
recommendation of your supplier.
• Slide the brew basket into place. A brew basket sensor will prevent the brewer from operating if the
brew basket is not all the way in. The ready light will blink a few times when the brew switch is
pressed to indicate this error.
3. Place the tea dispenser or coffee dispenser with brewing stand in position under the brew basket.
• Make sure the dispenser is empty. Overflowing may result if it is not completely empty when the brew
cycle begins.
• When brewing tea, ensure that the dilution spout is inserted into the back of the dispenser
• When brewing tea, ensure that the dispenser is pushed all the way in, so that the dispenser body is
pressing the sensing switch. (Iced Tea Only Version: The sensing switch may be disabled for using a
non standard tea dispenser. See # 59 in Diagnostics section.)
• Iced Tea / Coffee Version only: The dispenser sensing switch will prevent coffee from being brewed if
the tea dispenser is in place and vice versa.
4. Start the brew cycle.
• Start a brew cycle by pressing the start switch.
Iced Tea Only Version: The switch has 2 positions, FULL and HALF.
Iced Tea / Coffee Version: The switch has 2 positions: ICED TEA and COFFEE.
• The brew light will be lit during the brew cycle and will blink during the drip delay*, indicating that hot
liquid may still be dripping from the brew basket and that cold water may be flowing into the back of the
tea dispenser through the dilution tube. Do not move the dispenser until the brew light has gone out.
(* Units with red LED display: Brew light blinks during brew cycle and drip delay.)
• CAUTION! Do not remove the brew basket until dripping from the bottom of the brew basket has
stopped. Carefully remove the brew basket while inspecting the inside of the basket for hot liquid that
may have been trapped or has not finished draining.
• To interrupt the brew cycle at any time, press the stop switch. This will reset all functions.
