Sanitation Requirements
Your Curtis G3 Tea Brewer is Factory Pre-Set and Ready to Go… Right out of the Carton.
Following are the Factory Settings for your TCT or PTT Iced Tea Brewing System:
• Brew Temperature = 204°F
• Brew Volume = Set to dispensing vessel requirements (2.2 liters)
Generally there will never be a reason to change your G3 programming. However, should you need to make slight adjustments to meet
your brewing needs, programming instructions are provided later in this manual.
System Requirements:
• Water Source 20 – 90 PSI (Minimum Flow Rate of 1 GPM)
• Electrical: See attached schematic for standard model or visit www.wilburcurtis.com for your model.
Equipment to be installed to comply with applicable federal, state, or local plumbing/electrical codes having jurisdiction.
SETUP STEPS
The unit should be level (left to right and front to back), located on a solid counter top. Connect a water line from the water filter to the
brewer. NOTE: Some type of water filtration device must be used to maintain a trouble-free operation. (In areas with extremely hard
water, we suggest that a sedimentary and taste & odor filter be installed.) This will prolong the life of your brewing system and enhance
coffee quality.
The National Sanitation Foundation requires the following water connection:
1. A quick disconnect or additional coiled tubing (at least 2x the depth of the unit) so that the machine can be moved for
cleaning underneath.
2. In some areas an approved backflow prevention device may be required between the brewer and water supply.
1. A 1/4” Flare has been supplied for water line connection. Use tubing sized sufficiently to provide a minimum of 1.0 GPM.
2. Connect the unit to an appropriate electrical power circuit.
3. Turn on the toggle (STANDBY/ON) switch behind the unit. The heating tank will start to fill. When the water level in the tank rises
to the correct volume, the heating element will energize automatically. With G3 Systems there is no danger of element
burnout caused by an empty tank.
4. The heating tank will require 20 to 30 minutes to reach operating temperature (204°F) as indicated by the READY-TO-BREW LED
readout.
5. Important: Run one full brewcycle, to purge the water lines and valves of air. Five seconds of dilution water at the begining
of each brewcycle is normal pre-programmed operating behavior.
BREWING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Brewer should be ON (Confirm at rear toggle switch, then press ON/OFF button) and Ready-to-Brew displayed.
2. Place filter in brew basket.
Pour leaf tea into basket.
3. Slide brew cone into brew
rails. Place tea container
under brew cone.
4. Press the BREW button to
brew tea.
