PLUMBER'S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION:

1) Flush water line before installing brewer. Brewer should be connected to COLD WATER LINE for best operation.

2) Water pressure should be at least 20 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.

3) If installed with saddle valve, the valve should have a minimum of 1/8" porthole for up to 25 ft run, and 5/16" porthole
for over 25-ft runs.

4) Connect incoming water line to the flow control device on the back of the brewer. Manufacturer recommends
connecting to copper tubing. Turn on water supply and check for leaks.

Leave brewer unplugged until plumbing is completed.

INITIAL SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:

void if machine is connected to any voltage other than that specified on the nameplate.

1) Brewer should be connected to water supply as outlined in PLUMBERS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS above
and water supply turned on. Plug or wire brewer to the appropriate voltage circuit as indicated on the serial tag.
depress the brew start switch. The tank will fill automatically. The tank lid has a multipurpose “water level probe” in it.
The probe signals the control board when the water in the tank has reached the appropriate level. This probe also acts
as a heater safety probe telling the control board when the tank has filled so the board will supply power to the tank
element. The probe also signals the control board to cut power to the element should the water level fall below it for a
period of more than a minute. Power is restored when the water level again reaches the probe. If the “water level probe”
gets limed-up or malfunctions, a secondary probe “lime probe” will take over and signal service by flashing the heating
light without disabling the brewer.

- Read and follow instructions before plugging or wiring in machine to electrical circuit. Warranty will be

2) Place a suitable decanter in place below the brew basket to catch water during the volume check and calibration
procedure. Depress the start/stop switch. If the tank is up to the preset temperature, temperature adjustment dial is in
the off position or if the autoarm feature has been disabled the brew cycle will begin. Otherwise the brewer will go into
the autoarm mode and the heating light and corresponding switch light will begin to flash indicating that the unit is in the
brew mode but is not up to temperature. When the tank reaches the preset temperature the brew cycle will begin. Note:
To accelerate the set up time the "Tank Temp" Adjustment dial may be rotated to the off position momentarily until the
brew cycle begins and then turned back. The autoarm feature may also be bypassed by depressing and holding the
start/stop switch in for approximately 5 seconds until the brew cycle starts. The tank lid must be in place for proper unit
operation. The brew cycle may be canceled by depressing the brew start/stop switch.

3) After the brew cycle has finished check volume of water in the container. Adjust the "Brew Time" with the control
board located behind the front access plate. Turn the dial Clockwise to increase the volume of water and
counterclockwise to decrease it. The dial labeled “Visa” on the timer may be set for an additional amount of time to flash
the brew light and corresponding switch light. This will allow time for the coffee to finish draining from the brew basket
after the fill cycle has completed. See Fig on page 5 for control board setting information.

4) Allow approximately 10 minutes for the water in the tank to heat to brewing temperature. The heating light will go out
when the unit is up to temperature. Run one brew cycle 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. (Note: Brew cycle
may be canceled by depressing the brew start/stop switch). The brewer features an electronic temperature control circuit
and the temperature may be adjusted with the control board located behind the front access plate. See Fig on page 5 for
control board setting information.

5) In higher altitude locations (5000 feet above sea level) the tank temperature may have to be adjusted lower to
prevent boiling. Turning adjustment knob in a clockwise direction will increase water temperature. This unit features an
electronic temperature control. Adjustment is located on the control board behind the front access plate.

6) CAUTION: The water faucet will dispense hot water when the handle is pulled.
