OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Brewing Instructions
Thermal Fresh Trac dispensers are designed for use with Curtis ThermoPro series brewers. See the brewer user guide for brewing instructions.
How to Use the Combination Liquid Level Gauge and FreshTrac Fresh Coffee Timer
The dispenser lid has a display with three indicators, the liquid level gauge, the FreshTrac timer and the LED indicator lights.

LCD Liquid Level Gauge
The liquid level gauge consists of a series of six (6) bars on the left side of the display. The more bars showing the higher the coffee level in the dispenser. See the tables on the following page for more information.

FreshTrac Timer
The FreshTrac digital fresh coffee timer keeps track of the time that has elapsed since the coffee was brewed.
It resets automatically when a new batch of coffee is brewed.

IMPORTANT – Be sure to empty the dispenser before brewing a new batch of coffee. The FreshTrac timer will not reset if any bars are showing on the liquid level gauge. This avoids mixing old coffee with new.

LED Indicator Lights
The LEDs allow you to check coffee quality, and if the coffee level is low, from across the room.

Fresh Mode: The green LED blinks every 6 seconds when coffee is fresh according to the FreshTrac timer.

Warning Mode: The green and red LEDs blink alternately every 6 seconds when:
a . The Fresh Trac timer is 10 minutes or less from expiration.
b . The volume in the dispenser is between 12 and 24 ounces.

Timer Expired/Dispenser Empty: The red LED blinks every 6 seconds (for 60 min.) and LCD display flashes when:
a . The FreshTrac timer has expired.
b . The dispenser is nearly empty (12 ounces or less).

Display Off: When the FreshTrac timer has expired or the dispenser is empty and the red LED has blinked for 60 minutes, the LCD display and the LEDs turn off completely.
