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 (Refer to Water & Power Hookup illustration on page 6)
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 troublefree 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 tea quality.
NSF International 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. This equipment is to be installed with adequate backflow 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. Plug in power cord.
2. Plumb water line. A 1/4” Flare has been supplied for water line connection. Use tubing sized sufficiently to
provide a minimum of 1.0 GPM.
3. Connect the Bag-in-Box sweetener. Take the clear line with the QCD bag connector and hookup to the
matching connector on the BIB sweetener (see Load Sweetener, page 4).

CLEANING &
SANITIZING
DAILY
1. Wipe any spills, dust or debris from the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. The
outside surfaces of the brewer should be cleaned with stainless steel polish only, to
prevent scratches.
2. Clean the sprayhead and domed area around the sprayhead with a mild detergent
and warm water solution. Scrub well to remove residue. Rinse with and clear water.
Dry with clean cloth.
3. Remove the plastic brewcone and wash with a detergent solution or put through a

4. Wash the tea container.
Clean container and top cover with a detergent solution.
A.
B. Remove the faucet assembly. Unscrew the handl
and remove. Clean the faucet shank with a gauge glass brush (circular bristle)
by pushing the brush through the shank.
C. Unscrew the bonnet assembly from the faucet. Brush clean the faucet body inlet
and outlet. Clean the faucet cap and silicone seat cup. Dry and assemble parts.
WEEKLY CLEANING & SANITIZING
The brewer is programmed for the sweetener to pour into the tea at the end of the
brewcycle. Setting the brewer to Tea Fast Brew can speed up the cleaning pro
(see page 3 and 4 for programming instructions to turn on Tea Fast Brew).
Use a concentrated cleaning solution to simplify the cleaning procedure. This
procedure requires a one gallon bucket of a cleaning solution of hot water and a
granulated concentrated cleaner (a cleaner like Coffee Dispenser Cleaner Corporation
#12580, Urnex or equivalent) and a one gallon bucket of clean hot water.
1. Make sure brewer is on and water supply is hooked up.
2. Remove the quick disconnect from the tea sweetener bag-in-box product.
3. Pull the cap off of the QCD and place this end of the line into the container
containing the cleaning solution (see illustration below).

4. Place an empty tea container on the brew deck and an empty brewcone into the rails below the sprayhead.
5.
Press the SWEET TEA brew button to run one complete brewcycle.
6. Allow the brewer to sit overnight with the cleaning solution in the sweetener line before flushing cleaning solution.
7. Flush the system by filling a one gallon container with clean hot water (no cleaning solution) and press the
SWEET TEA brew button to run a brewcyle until all the cleaning solution has been flushed from the system.
8. Discard solution that poured into the container.
9. Remove the QCD from the flushing container and replace the cap. Reconnect the QCD to the Bag in the Box
sweetener.
10. If desired, reset Tea Fast Brew to OFF. The unit is ready to resume brewing.
ADJUSTING SWEETENER STRENGTH:
The amount of sweetener is determined by a needle valve, accessed through the front panel. The sweetener line runs
into the brewer through a fitting behind the unit.
1. Open the front panel, attached by 6 screws.
2. Locate the needle valve.
3. Adjust the needle valve. Turning clockwise will decrease the
amount of sweetener. Turning the knob counterclockwise will
increase the flow of sweetener.
4. Replace the front cover. At this time, there is no need to tighten
the screws.
5. Place an empty tea container on the brew deck.
6. Fill the brewcone with the actual tea you’ll be
brewing. Run a brewcycle by pressing the BREW button marked
SWEETENED TEA.
7. When the brewcyle has finished, taste the
tea to determine
how your adjustment has changed the sweetness of the tea. If
needed repeat steps 1 through 3 to make additional adjustments
for more or less sweetener.
8. When the adjustment is correct, replace the front cover.
