QUICK START
& SET-UP

Your Curtis ADS System is Factory Pre-Set and Ready to Go...
Right from the Carton.

Following are the Factory Settings for the TLP Coffee Brewer:

• Brew Temperature = 200°F

• Brew Volume = Set to dispensing vessel requirements (2.2 Liters)
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.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

• Water Source

20 - 100 PSI (Minimum Flow Rate of 1 GPM)

CAUTION: DO NOT connect this brewer to hot water. The inlet valve is not rated for hot water.

• Electrical

See attached schematic for your model.

This equipment is to be installed to comply with the applicable federal, state, or local plumbing and 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. These 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 the

water supply. (Check local plumbing codes)

1. A ¼ flare water inlet fitting 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. Turn on the control panel by pressing the ON/OFF button.

5. The heating tank will require 20 to 30 minutes to reach operating temperature (200°F) as
indicated by the READY-TO-BREW indicator.

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

7. Run brew cycle of at least 16 ounces to purge the water line of any air that may be trapped in
the lines after filling.
