Curtis GT Units are Factory Pre-Set and Ready to Go… Right out of the Carton.

Following are the Factory Settings for your TPS1S Coffee Brewing System:

• Brew Temperature = 200°F

• Brew Volume = Set to dispensing vessel requirements (1.0 gallon and .5 gallon)
Generally, factory settings will provide trouble-free operation. 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

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 (such as Curtis filter CSC10AC00 or CSC15AC00).
This will prolong the life of your brewing system and enhance coffee quality.

Do NOT immerse the unit in water or any other liquid

Keep hands and other items away from hot parts of unit during operation.
Never clean with scouring powders, bleach, harsh chemicals or sharp implements.

Sanitation Requirements

ISO 9001 REGISTERED

WILBUR CURTIS COMPANY

Montebello, CA 90640

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.

1. A 3/8” NPT compression 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 G3 brewers, element burnout caused by an empty tank is no longer a
problem.

4. The heating tank will require 20 to 30 minutes to reach operating temperature (200°F). This will
be indicated when the screen reads READY TO BREW .

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

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