Following are the Factory Settings for your ALPHA™ GT Coffee Brewing Systems:

Generally there will never be a reason to change your ADS programming. However, should you need to make slight adjustments to meet your brewing needs, programming instructions are provided later in this manual.

Equipment to be installed to comply with applicable federal, state, or local plumbing/electrical codes having jurisdiction.

SETUP STEPSSETUP STEPS

SETUP STEPS

SETUP STEPSSETUP 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.

1. A 3/8” NPT x 1/4” Flare elbow 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 elements will energize automatically. With ADS 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 (200°F) as indicated by the READY-TO-BREW indicator light.

5. Prior to brewing, dispense 12 ounces of hot water through the hot water faucet.

6. Brew a cycle of at least 12 ounces, to purge the water lines of any air that may be trapped after filling.

System Requirements:

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.
