PLUMBER'S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:Disconnect Power to brewer before proceeding with plumbing installation.
1) Attach water line to bottom PDS valve , rear of brewer .
2) Flush water line before installing brewer. Brewer should be connected to COLD WATER LINE for best operation.
3) Water pressure should be at least 40 lbs. For less than a 25 ft run, use 1/4" copper tubing and connect to 1/2" or larger water
line. For longer runs, use 3/8" copper tubing & connect to 1/2" or larger water line and provide an adapter fitting for
connection to the brewer. A dedicated water line is necessary for this machine.
4) If installed with saddle valve, the valve should have a minimum of 1/8" port hole for up to 25 ft run, and 5/16" port hole for
over 25 ft runs.
5) Manufacturer recommends connecting to copper tubing.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
UPPER TANK SWITCH
WARNING: - Read and follow installation instructions before plugging or wiring in machine to electrical circuit. Warranty will be
dbvoid if machine is connected to any voltage other than that specified on the name plate.
FILL BREWER TANK WITH WATER BEFORE TURNING TANK THERMOSTATS OR HEATER SWITCHES ON !
1) Brewer is shipped with thermostat turned OFF, (full counter-clockwise position). Plug or wire in machine to appropriate
voltage as noted on the brewer serial tag. Serial tag is located on side of brewer.
2) Adjust timer to deliver desired amount of water (Timer is located behind front access panel). To brew into a regular 64 oz.
decanter little adjustment should be needed. Turn timer dial clockwise to increase volume of water, and counter clockwise to
decrease volume.
3) Place the decanters under brew baskets, turn on bottom two warmers, and using brew switches brew three brew cycles or
until water starts to drain into decanters.
4) Turn on tank heater switches. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for water in tank to heat to brewing temperature. (Additional water
may drip from brew baskets on initial expansion of water in the tanks). This will not occur thereafter.
5) After water has reached brewing temperature, thermostat will click off, heating noise will stop. Empty decanters and depress
brew start switches and run a cycle of water to remove expanded water from tanks. (Brew cycle may be canceled by turning
the warmer rocker switch back to the OFF position.)
6) Run one cycle for each tank 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. Adjust brew volume by adjusting the brew timer up or
down .
7) In higher altitude locations (5000 feet above sea level) the thermostat may have to be adjusted lower to prevent
boiling.
8) Water volume may need readjustment after brewing a decanter of coffee. (See next page)
