Product Usage Instructions

Ensure that the brewer is placed on a sturdy counter or shelf with a minimum clearance of 33 inches above the counter.
Before connecting the brewer to the power source, an electrician must provide the specified electrical service.
Remove the top lid of the brewer and rotate the control thermostat knob fully counterclockwise to the OFF position. Then, reinstall the top lid.
Remove the rear trunk panel and feed the cord through the strain relief at the rear of the brewer. Connect the cord to the terminal block.
Using a voltmeter, check the voltage and color coding of each conductor at the power source.
Connect the brewer to the power source and verify the voltage at the terminal block. Reinstall the rear trunk panel.
If plumbing is to be hooked up later, ensure that the brewer is disconnected from the power source. If plumbing has already been hooked up, the brewer is ready for the Initial Set-Up.
To connect the brewer to a water supply, it must be connected to a cold water system with an operating pressure between 30 and 90 psi from a 1/2 or larger supply line.
An installed shut-off valve should be present in the water line before connecting it to the brewer.
If the water pressure exceeds 90 psi, install a regulator in the line to reduce it to 50 psi.
The water inlet fitting is 1/4 flare. Bunn-O-Matic recommends using 1/4 copper tubing for installations under 25 feet and 3/8 copper tubing for installations over 25 feet from the 1/2 water supply line.
A tight coil of copper tubing in the water line will facilitate moving the brewer to clean the countertop.
Bunn-O-Matic does not recommend using a saddle valve to install the brewer as it may restrict water flow due to the size and shape of the hole made in the supply line by this type of device.

Connect the brewer to the power source and verify the voltage at the terminal block and reinstall the rear trunk panel.
If plumbing is to be hooked up later be sure the brewer is disconnected from the power source. If plumbing has been hooked up, the brewer is ready for Initial Set-Up.

WARNING – The brewer must be electrically grounded using the green screw near the terminal block. Do not assume a plumbing line will provide an adequate ground.

PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
This brewer must be connected to a cold water system with operating pressure between 30 (207 kPa) and 90 psi (620 kPa) from a 1⁄2″ or larger supply line. A shut-off valve should be installed in the line before the brewer. Install a regulator in the line when pressure is greater than 90 psi(620 kPa) to reduce it to 50 psi (345 kPa). The water inlet fitting is 1⁄4″ flare.

NOTE – Bunn-O-Matic recommends 1⁄4″ copper tubing for installations of less than 25 feet and 3⁄8″ for more than 25 feet from the 1⁄2″ water supply line. A tight coil of copper tubing in the water line will facilitate moving the brewer to clean the countertop. Bunn-O-Matic does not recommend the use of a saddle valve to install the brewer. The size and shape of the hole made in the supply line by this type of device may restrict water flow.

This equipment must be installed to comply with the Basic Plumbing Code of the Building Officials and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA) and the Food Service Sanitation Manual of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Plumbing Hook-Up

Attach the female fitting from the short piece of tubing on the strainer assembly (supplied) to the water inlet fitting on the rear of the brewer.
Flush the water line and securely attach it to the flare fitting on the strainer assembly.
Turn on the water supply.

INITIAL SET-UP
CAUTION – The brewer must be disconnected from the power source throughout the initial set-up, except when specified in the instructions.

Remove the top lid from the brewer.
Rotate the control thermostat knob fully counterclockwise to the “OFF” position and replace the top lid.
Insert an empty funnel into the funnel rails.
Place an empty dispenser on the brewer base. Be prepared to empty the dispenser during these initial steps.
Plug in the brewer, place the ON/OFF switch in the “ON” position, and momentarily press the START switch.
INITIAL SET-UP (cont.)
Water will flow into the tank and dispenser for five minutes and forty-five seconds. Empty the dispenser when this first cycle stops and press the START switch again. Empty the dispenser when the second cycle stops and press the START switch once more. During the third cycle, the tank will fill to its capacity and the excess will flow from the funnel into the dispenser. Empty the dispenser when this third cycle stops.
Disconnect the brewer from the power source, remove the rear trunk panel, and turn the handle on the needle valve approximately one-quarter turn counterclockwise to enable the flow of dilution water. This valve is fully closed at the factory.
NOTE – The next step requires the use of a stopwatch to calculate the amount of dilution water flowing from the nozzle in one minute. You’ll need to capture and measure the timed dilution water in a separate vessel than the one used for the water flowing from the funnel.
Place a vessel under the brew funnel to catch the brew water. Use a hose or other means to divert the water from the dilution nozzle to a separate container.
Connect the brewer to the power source. Simultaneously press the start switch to begin another brew cycle and start the stop watch. Place the ON/OFF switch in the “OFF” position at exactly sixty-seconds (one-minute). When the flow of water stops, measure the volume of the captured dilution water. It should be approximately twenty-two ounces.
If not, disconnect the brewer from the power source, and adjust the handle on the needle valve clockwise to decrease the amount of water or counterclockwise to increase the amount of dilution water as required.
Repeat steps 8 & 9 until the recommended dilution water volume (twenty-two ounces) is achieved.
Disconnect the brewer from the power source and reinstall the rear trunk panel.
Unplug the brewer, remove the top lid, rotate the control thermostat knob fully clockwise to the “ON” position and replace the top lid.
Empty the dispenser.
Connect the brewer to the power source and wait for the ready light to glow indicating the water in the tank has heated to brewing temperature (approximately 20 minutes). Some water will drip from the funnel during this time; this is due to expansion and should not occur thereafter.
Begin another brew cycle and measure the total water volume from the dispenser. It should be approximately 3 gallons and 12 ounces. (396 ounces).
If not adjust the timer as required. See Adjusting Brew Volumes.
Start, and measure another cycle.
Repeat steps 16-17 until the recommended total water volume is achieved.
The brewer is now ready to brew a batch of freshly brewed room temperature coffee.

ADJUSTING BREW VOLUMES

CAUTION – Disconnect the power source from the brewer prior to the removal of any panel for the replacement or adjustment of any component.

NOTE: Prior to setting or modifying batch sizes, check that the brewer is connected to water supply, the tank is properly filled, and a funnel and server are in place.

Modifying batch sizes. To modify a batch volume, first check that the SET/LOCK switch is in the “SET” position on the circuit board.
To increase a batch size. Press and hold the START or BREW switch until three clicks are heard. Release the switch (Failure to release the switch within two seconds after the third click causes the volume setting to be aborted and previous volume setting will remain in memory) and press it again one or more times. Each time the switch is pressed, two seconds are added to the brew time period. Allow the brew cycle to finish in order to verify that the desired volume has been achieved.
To decrease a batch size. Press and release the START or BREW switch once for every two-second interval
ADJUSTING BREW VOLUMES (cont.) to be removed from the total brew time period; then immediately press and hold down the START or BREW switch until three clicks are heard. Release the switch. (Failure to release the switch within two seconds after the third click causes the volume setting to be aborted and previous volume setting will remain in memory). Allow the brew cycle to finish in order to verify that the desired volume has been achieved.
Setting batch sizes. To set a batch volume, first check that the SET/LOCK switch is in the “SET” position on the circuit board. Press and hold the START or BREW switch until three distinct clicks are heard (approximately 10 seconds) and then release the switch. (Failure to release the switch within two seconds after the third click causes the volume setting to be aborted and previous volume setting will remain in memory). View the level of the liquid being dispensed. When the desired level is reached, turn the ON/OFF switch to “OFF” (lower). The brewer remembers this volume and will continue to brew batches of this size until the volume setting procedure is repeated.
NOTE: When brewing tea, batch volumes will decrease due to absorption by the tea leaves.
Setting programming disable feature. If it becomes necessary to prevent anyone from changing brew times once programmed, you can set the SET/LOCK switch to the “LOCK” position. This will prevent any programming to be done until switch is once again placed in the “SET” position.

CLEANING

CAUTION – Clean and sanitize your iced coffee brewer daily

Remove and thoroughly clean the entire brew funnel. The funnel must be free from any coffee particles or residue.
Disconnect the brewer from the power source. Remove and thoroughly rinse the sprayhead. Wipe the sprayhead panel clean with a damp cloth.
Insert the delimbing spring into the sprayhood fitting until no more than one inch is visible and move it in and out 5 or 6 times. Insert the spring into the ardent hole in the sprayhood panel and move it in and out 5 or 6 times. Reattach the sprayhood.
Wash the entire outside surface of the brewer with a clean damp cloth.

CAUTION – Do not keep brewed coffee overnight. The dispenser must be cleaned and sanitized daily.

OPERATING CONTROLS

A. Lighted On/Off Switch
- ON – Placing the switch in the lighted upper position allows the start switch to activate a brew cycle.
- OFF – Placing the switch in the lower position stops the brew cycle. Stopping a brew cycle after it has been started will not stop the flow of water into the funnel until the tank syphons down to its proper level.
- NOTE – The switch should always be placed in the “OFF” position after a brew cycle and whenever the brewer is unattended.
B. Full/Half Batch Selector Switch
- Full – Placing the switch in the upper position produces a full batch of room temperature coffee from the brew cycle.
- Half – Placing the switch in the lower position produces half of a full batch of room temperature coffee from the brew cycle.
C. Start Switch
- Starts a brew cycle when the lighted On/Off switch is in the “ON” position.

COFFEE BREWING
