AMERICAN METAL WARE
HIGH VOLUME COFFEE BREWING/HOLDING SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
American Metal Ware’s high volume coffee brewing/holding systems provide advantages to the user in the three functions of 1) brewing, 2) holding, 3) transfer/fill operation. Each coffee urn is equipped to brew both sides at one time; 20 gallons of coffee can be brewed within 15 minutes, 10 gallons on each side. The basic brewing urn is of the Space Saver type, electric or steam heat. It requires connection to a source of 140
0
F. potable hot water, 3/8" NPT. Each urn uses a pump-type brewing system, with a separate sprayover pump and spray arm for each coffee liner. Additional equipment and options included on each brewing urn:
• Two all stainless steel coffee liner filter screens.
• Two Model BB810 brew baskets for use with paper filters.
• Low water cutoff system to protect the urn and immersion heater.
• Automatic refill of the water compartment.
• Adjustable bypass on each spray arm.
• Start/Stop pushbutton brewing timers, one for each coffee liner.
• Automatic air agitation of the coffee, programmed to operate only when not using the transfer pump system.
• Two coffee transfer pumps with NSF approved stainless steel braid covered teflon lined hoses to connect the brewing urn liners to a holding urn. The transfer pumps are mounted in stainless steel housings located on the left and right ends of the coffee brewing urn.
• Easy access for service is provided from the front of the housings, which also contain the sprayover pumps.
• Sanitary teflon sealed ball valves connect the transfer system to the coffee brewing liners. When the valves are closed, the liners are isolated from the transfer system and holding urn.
Thus, the automatic coffee brewing urn may be used as a normal coffee urn and 10 gallons can be brewed as an individual batch at any time.
Also included in the high volume coffee brewing system is one special coffee holding urn. The gallon capacity is listed in the table that follows. Coffee is held at 180° F. to 190
0
F. by externally mounted electric heaters underneath the stainless steel bottom. Thermostatic control is provided. This holding unit has 4 coffee faucets, as shown on the layout drawing, with approximately 10" clearance under the faucet spouts. This arrangement of faucets allows a very rapid transfer/fill of 64 oz. coffee serving pots. One 64 oz. pot can be filled within 15 seconds from any one of the 4 faucets. One operator can operate (2) of the coffee drawoff faucets and fill (6) 64-oz. coffee pots per minute. Two operators can fill (12) 64-oz. coffee pots per minute. This enables very high volume use of the coffee with a minimum amount of labor cost.

Before actual use of urn, it should be thoroughly cleaned and washed. It is also recommended that a batch of coffee be brewed in each liner based on a final brewing cycle timer setting and actual muslin bag or filter to be used. We recommend that these first batches be thrown out and not used. Strength of brew may be checked by hydrometer or evaporation tests but flavor test might be poor on first batch.
Turn on power supply to urn. Open water supply line valve to urn. Water compartment will fill automatically. In case of failure to fill, refer to Automatic Refill service instructions page.
Turn thermostat knob on front of housing to BREW position. Pilot light at top of thermostat bezel should light up. Water in urn should heat up, and thermometer pointer rise to "W" in the blue BREW zone on thermometer dial, within approximately 45 minutes, depending on temperature of water in urn. Pilot light at top of thermostat bezel should go out when water in urn is at brew temperature. This pilot light will also go out in case of dangerous low water conditions, or no power at urn due to blown fuse, switch off, etc.
Turn thermostat dial to BREW position. Pilot light at top of thermostat bezel should light up and when thermometer pointer is at "W" in BREW zone, this pilot light should go out. Water in urn tank is now at brew temperature. NOW and ONLY at initial start-up, we advise checking time of flow of hot water to spray nozzle.
Checkinq Sprayover Volume and Rate (Repeat for each sprayarm) Remove cover from brew basket over one liner. Position spray nozzle over this brew basket. Liner should be empty and faucet shut off. Push in timer start button and brew pilot should light up. Hot water should start to spray into brew basket. Allow to spray until brew pilot light goes out and sprayover stops.
Measure amount sprayed over by drawing off into a calibrated one gallon measure. If amount is more or less than desired, reset timer. Longer time - more sprayover, shorter time - less sprayover. Each
1
/4 minute increase or decrease adds or subtracts about 1/4 gallon to sprayover
total. Note that setting of sprayover bypass valve (on sprayarm) affects amount of sprayover.
Further adjustment of sprayover volume can be made using the internal bypass valve located in the side pump housing. Screwdriver adjustment is under the hole plug closest to the urn body. Open the valve for less sprayover, close for more. Valve is wide open when screwdriver slot is horizontal. It is closed when slot is vertical; i.e., pointing towards sprayarm for maximum sprayover. Purpose of the internal bypass valve is to direct excess discharge from the sprayover pump back into the urn water compartment.
Factory setting is 10 gallons sprayover water in 10 minutes (1 gallon/60 seconds) and spray
-
over bypass valve wide open. Bypass volume is about 30% of the total sprayover, or 3 gallons.

Turn on power supply to urn. Open water supply line valve to urn.
Turn on master switch. Indicator light should be lit; if not, check power supply for blown fuse, disconnect switch off, etc.
Remove cover and manually spray rinse water into urn. If spray is not hot, run water until it is, then drain the initially cool water through the front faucets. (If this is not done, the urn will take an abnormally long time to heat up.) Fill urn until water level rises above thermometer.
Urn should heat up until thermometer pointer reaches low end of blue Brew Zone. Internal thermostatic control should maintain this setting of 180
0
-1900F.
With brew urn(s) up to temperature, spray full brew volume into each coffee liner.
When sprayover is complete, open transfer ball valve, located on urn front, by moving handle to horizontal position.
Push start button on front of pump housing to begin timer-controlled transfer. The pilot light should light up indicating transfer in process.
The transfer pump and pilot light should shut off soon after the full liner is empty. If too soon, adjust timer for longer time. Factory setting is 4
1
/2 minutes for a full 10 gallon liner.

Place filter in brew basket with designated amount of ground coffee (automatic urns are desig­nated to use 1, 2, or 3 lbs. of coffee). Make certain the coffee has a level bed depth of at least 1 1/2" to 2". Replace cover and move spray head over center of coffee grounds. Check thermometer to make certain urn is at brewing temperature; pointer should be at high end of brew zone. Press START button. When brew cycle is completed, remove brew basket and dispose of spent grounds. Mixing of finished brew is accomplished automatically at the end of the drip-through cycle. When mixing of the finished brew is completed, open transfer ball valve, located on urn front, by moving handle to horizontal position. Push start button on front of the pump housing to begin timer-controlled transfer. The pilot light should light up indicating transfer in process. The transfer pump and the pilot light should shut off soon after the full liner is empty. If too soon, adjust timer for longer time. Factory setting is 5 1/2 minutes for a full 10 gallon liner.
Coffee is ready to serve.

NOTE: All urns are equipped with an adjustable bypass valve on the spray arm. Adjustment
of this valve will allow some spray water to bypass the brewing basket for additional control of the water/coffee brewing formula and the extraction percentage from the coffee.
Place filter in brew basket with designated amount of ground coffee (automatic urns are designed to use 1, 2, 3 or 4 lbs. of coffee). Make certain you have a level bed of coffee. Consult your coffee supplier for exact brewing specifications. (C.B.C. recommendation is 1 lb. of coffee to each 2
1
/2 gallson water).
Replace cover and move spray head over center of coffee grounds.
Check thermometer to make certain urn is at brewing temperature. Press timer button.
When brew cycle is completed (brew light shuts off), remove brew basket and dispose of spent grounds.
Mixing of finished brew is accomplished automatically at the end of the brew cycle if the urn has an air agitation option. Additional mixing can be performed at later time by pressing manual air agitation push button.
Where urn is not equipped with air agitation, draw one gallon for each three gallons of finished brew from coffee faucet, and pour over top into coffee liner.
Coffee is ready to serve.
Hold coffee at 185
O
- 1900F. or HOLD setting on thermostat knob. Brewed coffee can be held
at this temperature for up to one hour with minimal deterioration of flavor and body.
When timer button is pushed, the timer is activated.
The timer completes the circuit to the sprayover pump which delivers hot water through the spray arm to the spray nozzle.
The hot water from the spray nozzle is sprayed over the coffee grounds. The finished brew collects in the coffee liner.
As the pump delivers hot water from the water compartment through spray nozzle into brew basket, the water level in the water compartment lowers.
Drop in water level in water compartment below sensing probes activates liquid level control which opens the refill solenoid valve, refilling the water compartment with fresh water.
The entry of the water activates the thermostat, which allows power to go to the heating element to maintain the brewing temperature.

Final decision of brewing formula and brewing cycle adjustments rests with the operator and the coffee suppliler.
OPT. 121 - Overfill protection
In the event of an operator errror to transfer coffee while the holding tank is full, this option will disable the transfer timer which will shut off the pumps and prevent the holding tank from overfill­ing.
The uniformity and type of grind on coffee supplied. The uniformity and quality of roasting, and selection of blend and type of coffee beans used, and the freshness of ground coffee used in a brew. Water chemistry - i.e., mineral content, taste factors, (chlorine, flourine, iron, etc.) and effects of any treatment process occurring ahead of urn. Uniformity and quality of filter paper is also important, and proper storage and handling of paper affects final brew. Proper and regular, frequent cleaning of all coffee brewing equipment is vital to insure the most delicious tasting brew.
Contact time of water with ground coffee. Accuracy of water spray-over volume. Temperature of water spray-over. Holding temperature of finished brew. Proper and uniform extraction over coffee brew basket bed area. Proper coffee bed depth in brew basket. Proper and thorough mixing of first rich brew with later, weaker brew for uniform final brew.

Filter Screen For Coffee Grounds
This automatic urn includes 2 filter screens. They are located. inside the coffee liners, resting near the bottom. Their purpose is to prevent blockage or clogging of coffee transfer pump hose system caused by careless operator, torn or defective filter paper, or overfill of coffee brew basket. Filter screen must be in position at all operatinq times in both liners.
Filter screen should be removed and rinsed after each batch brewed, at the same time that coffee liner is rinsed out.
Daily rinse off advised.
Weekly wash through dishwasher cycle, or by cleaning with coffee removal compound such as:
Dip-It -- Economics Lab Oxylite -- Avril, Inc. Syndet Division Temp-Kleen -- Caddy Corp. of America
Transfer System Operation

5.
NOTE: Coffee may be transferred from all brew liners at the same time provided that there is room left in the holding urn. DO NOT overfill the coffee holding urn. Poushing the STOP button on the side housing will shut off the transfer pump.
Whenever the coffee holding urn is to be used, switch it on while the first brewing operation(s) are going on in the brew urn(s). This will allow the holding urn to be up to temperature for the first transfer of freshly brewed coffee.
The sanitary, teflon-sealed, ball valves on the brew urn front must be kept closed (handle down) except when transferring coffee, or cleaning the system. After completing a brew in one liner, open its ball valve by moving the handle up to horizontal. This will feed coffee to the transfer pump.
Before transferring coffee, check the calibrated gauge on the front of the holding urn. If the coffee level is near full, do not transfer until coffee has been drawn off to a safe level. If okay to transfer, push START button on front of side pump housing. The pilot light should light up indicating transfer in process.
After the timer controlled transfer pump shuts off, and the pilot light goes out, close the ball valve by moving its handle down. Rinse out the brew liner.
Ready for next brew.

Solid State Coffee Agitation System
Coffee agitation is accomplished with low pressure air, bubbling up through coffee in liner. Air enters at top coffee gauge elbow fittings and forces coffee down out of sight in gauge glasses during agi­tation period. Air continues through into liner connection elbow, and bubbles up from this center fit­ting. The rich, heavy portion of brew is carried up to the top and thoroughly mixed with weaker top level coffee.
Automatic Program - End Of Brew And Delayed Types
At the end of the spray cyle, the air pump turns on for about 30 seconds automatically. This auto­matic agitation program is either built into the solid state spray cycle (brew) timer or is provided by a separate solid state agitation relay on equipment with mechanical timers. Urns with delayed air agitation (Option 43D) have a two minute delay after the end of the brew cycle before the 30 sec­ond agitation cycle starts for improved mixing. This delayed program is provided by a separate delay solid state relay. Whenever power to the urn has been off, such as upon installation, the auto­matic agitation program will begin as soon as the power is turned on. Otherwise, it operates only after the end of spray.
Manual Agitation
At any desired time, holding in the "manual agitation" black push button switch will blend stored coffee.
Note
: The plug in cleanout cap at the top of the coffee gages must be pushed in completely to avoid air leaks. Gauge glasses are, cleaned with a gauge brush by first lifting out the top cap. (A slight twist will release a tightly sealed cap). Be sure to replace the cap properly so that the agitation sys­tem can operate.
WARNING: Overfilling coffee liners may damage air pumps, NEVER
overfill liners at any time.

Coffee Agitation System (Automatically Programmed)
Coffee agitation is accomplished with low pressure air, bubbling up through coffee in liner. Air enters at top coffee gauge elbow fittings and forces coffee down out of sight in gauge glasses during agitation period. Air continues through into liner connection elbow, and bubbles up from this center fitting. The rich, heavy portion of brew is carried up to the top and thoroughly mixed with weaker top level coffee.
OPERATION 30 second agitation at end of spray cycle is automatic. At any additional time to agitate stored coffee, push black button and hold as long as desired to agitate.
DELAYED AGITATION Some urns are equipped with delayed automatic agitation. In these urns, agitation begins 1 1/2 to 2 minutes after spray cycle ends and continues for the normal 30 second coffee blending period.
WARNING OVERFILLING COFFEE LINERS MAY DAMAGE AIR PUMPS. NEVER overfill liners at any time.
SERVICE - IF NO AIR Make sure all tubes are tightly connected. Check pump. Check for leaks at gauge glass, at top or bottom and at top cleanout caps. (May require new "O" ring on top cap.)
The top cap of the Deluxe Top Coffee Gauge Cleanout Fitting for Air Agitation MUST BE COMPLETELY PUSHED INTO the upper gauge fittings. Gauge glasses can be cleaned with gauge glass brush by first lifting out the top cap from the upper gauge fitting. In operation, the top cap must be in place for agitation to operate.
TO CHECK TIMING If timing is too short, or too long, check solid state timing relay.
Cleaning Urn
After emptying a liner of coffee, liner should be flushed out. Push start button. After 30 to 60 seconds, push red stop button switch. Spray will rinse liner very effectively with scalding hot water. Thorough daily cleaning after last batch of coffee is brewed should be a must
procedure. Use ample amount of hot water with brush, and clean draw-off tube ana faucets and gauge glasses. At least once a week, use a good urn cleaner to clean urn. Be sure to thoroughly rinse after any cleaning operation with several gallons of hot water.

Always rinse urn immediately after each use. Add small quantity of hot water, brush sides and rinse with hot water until it runs clean. Urn is now ready for next batch. At end of each day clean and brush urn several times, then rinse thoroughly with hot water. Remove clean-out cap at end of coffee faucet (or take apart faucets which have no caps) and scrub pipe leading to center of urn. Clean urn gauge glass with brush and urn cleaner. Rinse! Scrub the faucet, then rinse it thoroughly with hot water. Place a gallon or more of fresh water in urn until next use. Remove cover and clean. Replace cover, and leave partly open. ALWAYS REMEMBER TO EMPTY, AND RINSE THE URN WITH HOT WATER BEFORE USING AGAIN.
Be sure outer jacket is full of water. Turn on heat and fill urn liner 3/4 full of water; use only urn cleaning compounds, following manufacturer's directions; mix thoroughly and let stand about 30 minutes. Clean gauge glasses, faucet pipe, plugs, etc. using long thin brush. Use urn cleaning solution for scrubbing. Take faucet valve apart and clean thoroughly. Clean all tubes well. Scrub inside of urn and inside of cover with long handled brush. Be sure to clean "lug nut" in base of urn liner. Rinse inside of urn three or four times with hot water -- scrubbing each time. Also rinse parts well. Repeat until all traces of foreign odor and cleaning solution are removed. Leave a gallon or more of fresh water in urn with cover partly open until next use. If cold water is used, allow urn to cool to prevent cracking liner. Urn baskets may be cleaned by immersing in urn cleaner solution and scrubbing with a stiff brush. Rinse thoroughly and let dry Sprayheads should be checked to see that all holes are open. If any are clogged, remove sprayhead and use stiff wire to open. Don't use soap, scouring powders, or abrasives to clean coffee brewing: equipment.

Cleanout plugs are found on the elbows beneath the coffee brew liner faucet shanks. These should be opened and liner rinse water allowed to flush out the fittings in front of the transfer ball valves.
After flushing, open the ball valves and insert a gauge glass brush through the cleanouts to scrub the transfer line up to the pump. Note that the brush can be shaped so that the bristles reach all the way to the pump housing. Do not insert the brush too far as its tip may puncture the flexible tubing inside the housing.
Plug the cleanouts. Keep the valves open. Make sure the urn is up to temperature. (The holding urn need not be turned on.)
Spray over half volume of hot water into each liner. (Push BREW STOP button when water reaches middle of gauge.) Add about 4 tablespoons of coffee system cleaner to each liner.
Transfer cleaning solution from each liner to holding urn.
After transfer is complete, open all liner and holding urn faucets to drain cleaning solution.
While cleaning solution is being drained, fill each liner halfway again.
Close faucets. Transfer hot rinse water from each liner to holding urn.
Repeat steps 6, 7, and 8.
Drain rinse water as before.
Close faucets. Close transfer ball valves.

Service Instructions
Mineral or lime content of water is the major factor determining frequency of cleaning of water heating circuit which includes solenoid water valve, strainer, spray arm, spray nozzle, bypass valve, sprayover pump 'and water tank. We recommend that a Poly phosphate type of water treatment be used where hardness of water is a problem. Such units are manufactured by: 'Ever Pure, Inc., Westmont, IL, Calgon Co., Pittsburgh, PA. Contact your equipment dealer, sales representative, or a plumber to find out about this vital water treatment problem in your location. It may even be necessary to consult a water treatment engineer to solve a difficult problem in particular areas.
Generally speaking, water over 7 or 8 grain hardness can cause trouble in this equipment. We cannot guarantee urn against operational problems caused by liming or scaling.
We do provide a large capacity strainer on the water line to protect the water solenoid valve and flow control valve from being affected by suspended particles. This strainer should be cleaned by removing plug on screen and washing screen every 3-6 months or year, depending on local water conditions.
Thermostat Adjustment

Push Button Timer For Spray Over Control
The function of the timer is to start the pump and run it for a preset period of time and upon lapse of this time, to stop the pump, thereby completing the spray over cycle.
This urn is equipped with an electric reset timer. Pushing in the START button will start the flow of water. The timer will complete the time cycle for which it has been programmed and on completion, the flow will be stopped and the timer will reset itself, ready for the next brewing cycle.
If electric power is cut off anywhere in the service coming to the urn during the timer operating cycle, the timer will reset. When the power is restored, the timer must be restarted by pushing the START button.
If water temperature is below "W" in BREW zone on thermometer dial with knob on BREW setting, remove knob by pulling straight outward. Using small screwdriver, insert in hole in center of shaft, turn slotted screw counterclockwise until red pilot light goes on. Check to see that water in urn holds at "W" in BREW zone on thermometer and does not boil.
If water boils with thermostat knob set at the BREW position, remove knob by pulling straight outward. Using small screwdriver, insert into hole in center of shaft, turn slotted screw clockwise until red pilot light goes out. Hold shaft so it does not turn while adjusting screw. Add cold water and check that heat comes back on (pilot light glows), and that thermostat cycles at temperature at HI end of BREW zone on thermometer dial.
If thermostat will not cycle, replace entire control.

Space Saver Urn Service Instructions
Electrode Assembly
The electrode assembly that is used to detect the water level for American Metal Ware auto refill and low water cutoff systems is mounted through the center portion of the urn top, at the rear. Remove the cover to gain access to the electrodes for cleaning off any mineral scale buildup. See Service Bulletin 4 pages for further information.
Controls Compartment Servicing
The controls for the Space Saver urn are mounted on a drawer which drops down and pulls out for complete access. This drawer is held up in the urn base by a rear support angle and mounting screws in the front control panel face. Follow this procedure when performing any service of the components located in the drawer compartment:
A. B.
C.
D.
E.
TURN OFF POWER. Giving temporary support underneath the front of the controls compartment (your hand or fist will do), remove the mounting screws. Carefully lower the drawer to the countertop and pull it completely forward for full access to all components. Note that some parts are attached to the actual urn bottom, in the upper area of the controls compartment. These parts include: the water inlet assembly, thermostat bulb, and steam solenoid assembly or electric heater terminals (depending if urn is steam or electric heat). When putting the drawer back in position, take care that all wires and the thermostat capillary tube are free from being caught or pinched.

Service/Troubleshooting Solid State Air Agitation
A vibrator air pump is located in the control box. This pump supplies the air to the coffee liners. It is turned on directly by pushing the manual agitation switch, and automatically by the brew timer or solid state relay in series with the brew timer.
The manual agitation switch is a momentary contact, normally open single pole black push button switch. Depressing the button closes the switch contacts completing the circuit to the air pump. It is wired parallel to the automatic agitation circuit.
The automatic 30-second (approx.) operation of the air pump is provided by the output of the solid state brew timer or a separate solid state agitation relay in series with the brew timer. The delayed automatic agitation program (2 minute off time between end of spray and start of 30 second agita­tion) uses a delay solid state relay in series with the brew timer.
The following troubleshooting guide assumes that internal wiring is correct and 120V AC power is provided.

4.
5.
6.
7.
IF COFFEE LEVEL DOES NOT RISE BACK IN GAUGE GLASS, or is unusually slow to come backup, the very small vent hole in the clean out cap is clogged. Clear vent using a straight pin or similar object.
IF AGITATION DOES NOT STOP, check for sticking manual agitation switch. Where automatic agitation is built into timer, and manual switch checks okay, timer is defectiveand should be'.replaced. Where automatic agitation is a separate solid state agitation relay and manual switch checks okay, the relay is defective and should be replaced. If there is a constant "low" air pump output, the solid state timer or relay.is defective and should be replaced.
IF NO AIR ENTERS LINER, check output of pump through outlet fittings on urn front. If okay, then make sure all connections are tight. Check for leaks at gauge glass, at top, bottom and at cleanout cap. May require new o-ring or silicone grease on top cap; upper or lower gauge glass washer; or, if chipped or cracked, new gauge glass. Also, make sure passageways through top cap and gauge base are clear.
IF LITTLE OR NO AIR COMES THROUGH FITTINGS ON URN FRONT, open the control box and check the pump operation. If pump operates, but has weak output, replace it. If air pump is okay, air lines between control box and front fittings are blocked or leak. Blockage usually is caused by overfilling liners. Use stiff thin wire to clear. If air lines leak, coffee liners are removed first, then tighten compression fittings at each end of lines.
IF NEITHER AUTOMATIC'NOR MANUAL AGITATION OPERATES PUMP, pump is most likely defective and should be replaced.
IF AUTOMATIC AGITATION IS OKAY, BUT MANUAL DOES NOT WORK, replace manual agitation switch.
IF MANUAL AGITATION WORKS, BUT AUTOMATIC DOES NOT, replace the solid state brew timer or separate solid state agitation relay.

Dual Level Control Auto Refill and Low Water Cutoff System
I)
II)
Dual Level Control: What it does
A. AUTO REFILL of the water compartment to keep the tank filled with water. When water
is used, the fill valve opens automatically to let in more. The fill valve closes when water level reaches full.
B. LOW WATER CUTOFF to prevent burn out of the electric immersion heater when there
is not enough water to cover it. When low water occurs, the heat automatically switches off. The heat stays off until more water is added.
C. A device called a DUAL LEVEL CONTROL keeps the tank filled with water and turns off
the heat when water is low by simultaneously monitoring two different water levels.

Before beginning this procedure, turn water off at source.
Remove 80-13 allen screw from bottom of housing with #6 allen wrench.
Slip lower housing down
and pull forward with finger pressure only. This will clear the rear tongue in the adapter and allow ther front end of the housing to go past the sprayhead, when pulling forward.

This procedure exposes the 80-008 retainer cap.
With a flat-faced wrench, remove the cap, turning counter-clockwise. Remove all parts as shown and replace with identical parts from repair kit #80-5K. Note that stem seal 80-004 is at the top and wiper 80-005 is at the bottom for proper seal wear on valve poppet.
After re-assembly tighten retainer cap against 80-007 body seal and test for proper function before completing re-assembly.
Replace lower housing, sliding rear tongue into adapter and positioning molded locator stud into hole in valve body, before inserting 80-013 screw. Tighten screw firmly. Do not overtighten as allen head socket will strip on the allen wrench making further service difficult.
