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"
NOTES:
1. 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 195°f. To test
machine with cold water, leave heater switch off.
2. For Portable [-P] units: As the machine brews and dispenses tea, the pump will automatically draw
water from the water bottle to maintain tank full. Be sure to keep a second full bottle of water next to
the machine, so that when one bottle runs out of water you can transfer the hose to the next bottle.
3. For Portable [-P] units: The pump needs to be reprimed whenever the pump priming button lights up:
a) If the bottle runs out of water.
b) If the hose inside the bottle is pulled out of the water while the pump is drawing water, causing airlock.
4. For Portable [-P] units: From time to time after the tank is full, and machine has not been used for
some time, the priming button will light up, indicating that the pump is airlocked, due to pressure build
up. When the brew button is pressed, it releases the trapped air between the pump and the dispense
valve, and normal operation will resume.
After the tank is full the pump will stop drawing water, it will not start drawing water again until the
brew button is pressed causing the dispense valve to open up and dispense water.
