Important Notes/Cautions – from the factory
Sanitation Requirements
Your Curtis CAFE PC System is factory preset for optimal performance… right from the carton.
Following are the factory settings for your Primo Cappuccino Beverage System:
• Tank temperature = 190°F • Flavor controls = set at 50% • Dispensing mode set for manual dispensing Generally there will never be a reason to change the factory programming. However, should you need to make slight adjustments to meet your dispensing 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 INSTRUCTIONS
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 and odor filter be installed.) This will prolong the life of your dispensing system and enhance cappuccino product quality.
NSF International requires the following water connection:
1. A quick disconnect or additional coiled tubing (at least 2x the depth of the unit) is required so that the unit can be moved for cleaning.
2.This unit must be installed with adequate back-flow protection to comply with applicable federal, state and local codes.
3.Water pipe connections and fixtures directly connected to a potable water supply shall be sized, installed and maintained in accordance with federal, state and local codes.
1.Connect a water line from your facility to the 1/4” flare water inlet fitting of the valve, behind the machine. The water volume going to the machine should be stable. Use tubing sized sufficient to provide a minimum flow rate of one gallon per minute.
2.Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet rated at 20 A.
3.Switch on the toggle switch behind the unit that supplies power to the components in the machine. The display window and STOP/ WASH light on the front door will activate and the heating tank will start to fill.
4.Water in the heating tank will require about ½ hour to reach operating temperature (factory setting of 190°F). At this time the Ready light will appear.
5.Remove and fill the canisters with powdered cappuccino mixes.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Choose a flavor. Place a cup under the spout beneath the desired flavor. 2. Push and hold the dispensing button for the desired flavor.
3. Release the button when the cup is ¾ full.
FILL CANISTERS DAILY
1. Open the front door to access the canisters.
2. Turn the product delivery elbows upward. Lift each canister up slightly, then out.
3. After filling, reposition the canisters in the machine, aligning the gear socket with the motor shaft in the back, then turning the product delivery elbows downward.

Steps to Programming
Your Curtis Cafe PC System is factory preset for optimal performance. Usually this does not change.
WARNING HOT LIQUID - Scalding may occur. Avoid splashing. Place an empty container under the
dispensing nozzles while programming.
All programming is performed at the control panel (illustration, right). The STOP/WASH button has
several functions. This button is used to stop a portion control dispense cycle. It is also used to
wash out the mixing and dispensing systems and to enter programming functions.
Product % Ratio
This function controls the amount of dry product that is metered from the hoppers. It can be programmed from 10% to 100% of the capacity of the dispensing system. By counting LED flashes you can determine the product % ratio currently set for each dispense button (see table).
Enter program mode – Press and hold the STOP/WASH button for about ten [10] seconds, until all the lights start blinking.
To program the product % ratio - Press and hold the selected PUSH button for approximately one second, then release. The current setting will be indicated by LED flashes.
To change the product throw - Press and hold the button until the light starts quick flashing. Each quick flash increases the amount by 10%. Release the button when the desired throw amount is achieved. After releasing the button, the number of blinks represent the new setting.
To exit powder dispensing mode - Push any other PUSH button.
Portion Control Liquid Dispensing Mode
This program adjustment allows you to setup the machine to automatically dispense a preset volume of cappuccino product. When the user makes a PUSH button selection, the unit dispenses only the volume of cappuccino product programmed by the Portion Control Dispensing Mode. When setting the unit for Portion Control Dispensing, you lock out the manual dispense feature.
Enter program mode – Press and hold the STOP/WASH button for about ten [10] seconds, until all lights start blinking.
To select and change the portion control dispensing volume – While in the programming mode, press and hold the selected PUSH button until the liquid begins to flow, then release. The timing starts when liquid begins to flow.
Stop & exit – When 3/4 of the cup volume is achieved, press the PUSH button once again to stop dispensing. You have now set the timing for this button and have exited program mode. Pressing the dispense button now will provide the liquid volume that you just set. To reset the timing, you must start again by entering program mode.
Manual Liquid Dispensing Mode
This feature sets up the CAFE PC unit to dispense product only as long as the user holds down the selected PUSH button.
As soon as the user stops pressing the button, product stops flowing into the cup. Setting the unit for Manual Liquid Dispense will turn off the Portion Control Dispense Mode.

Programming Continued ...
Enter program mode – Press and hold the STOP/WASH button for about ten [10] seconds, until all the lights on the control panel are blinking.
Set manual dispense – While you are in programming mode, press and hold the PUSH button.
Hot liquid will start to flow. Continue to hold down the PUSH button until liquid stops flowing, then release the button.
At this time, you have selected the manual liquid dispensing mode and have exited out of program mode.
Confirm/Reset Temperature (factory set at 190ºF . . . Cold Cappuccino set at 100ºF)
These features allow you to check or change the heating tank temperature, if desired. The temperature in the tank is programmable from 80ºF, in 5 degree increments up to 140ºF, then the temperature will jump 45 degrees to 185ºF and resume 2 degree increments up to a maximum 204°F (see Temperature Settings table, right).
To Change Tank Temperature
Enter program mode – Press and hold the STOP/WASH button for about ten [10] seconds, until all the lights on the control panel are blinking.
Enter temperature program mode – Press and hold the STOP/WASH button for approximately one second, then release. The current setting will be indicated by LED flashes.
To change the temperature - Release the STOP/WASH button, then press and hold it again. Each quick flash represents a temperature increase. See the Temperature Settings table for the actual temperatures. Release the STOP/WASH button when the desired temperature is reached.
To set & exit - Press one of the PUSH buttons.

ERROR CODES: Curtis CAFE PC systems contain various safety features in the electronic circuitry that shut down the functions of the unit in the event of a system failure. Error codes are signalled by the READY light blinking one of three patterns:
WATER LEVEL ERROR – 3 LONG AND 1 SHORT
When this code is seen on the control panel, there is a malfunction in the water level control system.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR ERROR – 3 LONG AND 2 SHORT
When this light pattern is flashing on the control panel there is a system failure with the heating tank.
COMMUNICATION ERROR – 3 LONG AND 3 SHORT
This flashing light pattern indicates a communication error between the switch panel on the door and the power module.
