FreshTrac™ Combination Liquid
Level Gauge & Coffee Timer

The FreshTrac™ TFT coffee server uses a
lid that has a combination gauge. This lid
contains three indicators: A liquid level mea­sure, a coffee quality timer, and LED lights.

The FreshTrac™ activates as soon as

brewed coffee starts owing into the server.
At this time the two indicator lights ash green-red-green and the numeric timer starts counting down. Sen­sors within the lid measure the coffee as it lls the server. The segments of the liquid level gauge will start to
ll in as the volume increases.

LED Lights

The two lights (Red & Green) are non-programmable.

1. Coffee is Fresh Mode — Green LED light blinks every 6 seconds to designate coffee is fresh. The Green
LED is set to blink for 1 hour and 50 minutes.

2. Warning Mode – The Green and Red LEDs blink alternately – 6 seconds Green, 6 seconds Red, when
either of these two conditions are true:

a. Digital Numeric Timer is 10 minutes or less from expiration.

b. Volume in server is between 12 and 24 ounces.

3. Timer Expired and/or Dispenser is (nearly) Empty – the Red LED blinks every 6 seconds for 60 minutes
once any of the conditions below are true:

a. Numeric Timer has expired.

b. Dispenser is (nearly) empty – 12 ounces or less of volume remains.

LED Lights

4. The Red LED will stop blinking and turn off after 60 minutes have elapsed.

5. When the server times-out or is empty, the LCD display screen will blink simultaneously with the LED.

screen will turn off.

SERVICING THE TFT SERVER

REMOVING THE BASE & BOTTOM COVER

To replace the silicone elbow tting for repair or cleaning:

1. Remove the base assembly. Press down on the slide tab on the back side of the stand

and rotate the server counter clock-wise. Lift the server to separate from the base.

2. Turn the server upside down and pry off the plastic bottom cover. This will reveal the

silicone elbow tting.

3. Remove the wire hose clamps by squeezing in on the wire ears. Slide the clamp from

the soft silicone elbow at the liner drain pipe and the faucet shank and pull off the elbow.

4. Check for leaks and replace with a new part if necessary.

REMOVING THE FAUCET

The faucet will require periodic cleaning and maintenance.

1. Remove the faucet from the body of the server. Take off the faucet by unscrewing the wing nut

holding the faucet body to the shank.

2. Disassemble the faucet. Unscrew the bonnet from the body of the faucet. The handle and the

faucet parts will come off in one piece.

3. Check the silicone seat cup for wear, cracks, or hardening. If okay, then leave the seat cup at-

tached on the handle/bonnet assembly. Soak then wipe clean. Replace the faucet if damaged.

ASSEMBLY

Assemble the unit by reversing the steps for disassembly. Finger tighten the wing nut onto the faucet. Make sure all

clamps are fastened properly and silicone ttings are in good condition. Before replacing the bottom cover, pour water
into the server and check for leaks around the tting and faucet. If okay, pour out the water and replace the cover and

server base. The server is ready for coffee brewing.
