INSTALLATION / SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:

circuit. Warranty will be void if machine is connected to any voltage other than that specified on the name plate.

1) Place the decanter under brew basket, raise top evaporation cover and pour three decanters of water through
the top pour-in screen. Water should come through the brew basket as the third decanter of water drains out of
the pour in basin.

2) Brewer is shipped with thermostat turned on. Plug or wire in machine to appropriate voltage circuit as indicated
on serial tag.

3) Allow 10 to 15 minutes for water in tank to heat to brewing temperature. Additional water may drip from brew
basket on initial expansion of water in the tank. This will not occur thereafter.

4) After water has reached brewing temperature (thermostat will click off, heating noise will stop and green ready
light will be on) pour 1 decanter (60 oz.) of water through pour-in screen. More than 1 decanter of water will
flow into decanter below brew basket due to water expansion in the tank. Machine is now ready to use.

5) Pour 1 decanter of water through pour-in screen to check for the proper temperature setting with an accurate
thermometer. Take the temperature of this water at a point below the brew basket opening, at the start of the
brew cycle and when the decanter is half full. Recommended temperature of the water is approximately 195 F.

6) In higher altitude locations (5000 feet above sea level) the thermostat may have to be adjusted lower to prevent
boiling.

- Read and follow installation / setup instructions before plugging or wiring in machine to electrical

FILL BREWER TANK WITH WATER BEFORE CONNECTING TO POWER SUPPLY !

COFFEE PREPARATION PROCEDURES

1) Place filter into brew basket.

2) Put the proper amount of coffee into the filter.

3) Slide the brew basket into holder.

4) Place the appropriate empty decanter into position below the brew basket. For airpots first open lid and remove
pump stem unless it is of the brew thru design. For other dispensers without brew thru lids, remove the lid.
Turn lower warmer switch to the ON position for warmer units.

5) Raise the top evaporation cover and pour one decanter of cold water through the pour in screen into the basin.
Do not overfill unit by pouring in more than one decanter of water at a time.

6) Hot water will be delivered through the sprayhead. This distributes the hot water evenly over the coffee bed
within the brew basket. The coffee brew will drain from the brew basket into the decanter below.

7) TURN OFF WARMERS WHEN NOT IN USE. Red light in switch indicates when warmer is on.

8) To clean brew basket simply remove from brew rails and dump filter into waste basket. The brewing process,
as described above, can now be started again.

AUTOMATIC WARMER SAFETY SHUT OFF - OPTIONAL FEATURE

Warmer models may be equipped with an electronic control system which automatically monitors the
length of time the warmers are on, and shuts them off after they have been turned on for a preset length of time.
The model number on the serial tag of brewers equiped with this feature is appended by "AS". For example an
AK-3AS is a 3 warmer AK brewer with Automatic Shutoff.

The warmer shutoff control is initially set at the factory for two hours but the duration of on time for the
warmers may be adjusted anywhere between thirty minutes and four hours, depending on the needs of your
customer. To adjust the time, simply remove the access panel located on the right side of the brewer. Use a
screwdriver to turn the knob. Turning the knob clockwise will increase the on time and counter clockwise will
decrease the length of time the warmers will stay on.

The warmer control circuit will operate all warmers on for the same amount of time. The on time will
automatically be reset to the programmed time when any warmer is turned on. For example, if the customer has
turned on the lower warmer and then 30 minutes later turns on the second warmer, the on time for both warmers
will automatically be reset for the full programmed time of two hours, assuming the factory set time of two hours is
used. This feature eliminates individual warmers shutting off separately. A warmer may be turned off manually by
depressing the appropriate control switch. The red pilot light indicates that the warmer is on.

LIMING

To prevent liming problems in tank fittings remove sprayhead and insert deliming spring all the way into the
tank. When inserted into tank properly, no more than ten inches of the spring should be visible at the
sprayhead fitting. Saw back and forth five or six times. This will keep fittings open and clear of lime. In hard
water areas this should be done everyday. This process takes approximately one minute. In all areas the
sprayhead should be cleaned at least once a week. Where bad liming has already occurred, a new complete
tank assembly may be installed. The tank may be changed in approximately 5-10 minutes time.
