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 Times = 76 oz. hot: appx. time 4.33 • 302 oz. cold: appx. time 5.03
• 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
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.) This will prolong
the life of your brewing system and enhance tea quality.
The National Sanitation Foundation requires the following water connection:

2. Insomeareasanapprovedbackowpreventiondevicemayberequiredbetweenthebrewerand
watersupply.
1. A 1/4” Flare 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 element will energize automatically. With G3 Systems there is no
danger of element burnout caused by an empty tank.
4. The heating tank will require 20 to 30 minutes to reach operating temperature (204°F) as indicated by the READY-TO BREW LED readout.
5. Important: Run one full brewcycle, to purge the water lines and valves of air. Five seconds of dilution water at the
begining of each brewcycle is normal pre-programmed operating behavior.
BREWING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Brewer should be ON (Confirm at rear toggle switch, then press ON/OFF button) and Ready-to-Brew
displayed.
2. Place filter in brew
basket. Pour leaf tea
into basket.
3. Slide brew cone into brew
rails. Place tea container
under brew cone.
4. Press the BREW
button to brew tea.
