Sanitation Requirements
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
• Water Source: 20 ‑ 100 PSI. Must have a Minimum Flow Rate of 1/2 GPM (preferred ow rate is 1 gpm).
• Electrical: See attached schematic for your model.
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 cold water supply to
the brewer. (NOTE: Some type of water ltration device must be used to maintain a trouble‑free operation). In areas with extremely hard
water, we suggest that a sedimentary and taste & odor lter be installed. These will prolong the life of your brewing system and enhance
coffee 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 to clean
beneath the unit.
2. This equipment is to be installed with adequate back ow protection to comply with applicable federal, state and local codes..
3. Water pipe connections and xtures directly connected to a potable water supply shall be sized, installed and maintained in accordance with federal, state, and local codes.
1. A 1/4” Flare has been supplied for water line connection. Use tubing sized sufciently to provide a minimum of 1/2 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 ll. 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. 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). The READY‑TO‑BREW light will come on.
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 trapped in the lines after lling.
