PLUMBER’S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: Power to brewer must be OFF before proceeding with plumbing installation.

1. Flush water line before installing brewer. Brewer should be connected to COLD WATER LINE for best operation.

2. Water pressure should be at least 20 Ibs. For less than a 25 ft. run, use 1/4″ copper tubing & connect to 1/2″ or larger water line.
   For more than 25 ft. run, use 3/8″ copper tubing & connect to 1/2″ or larger water line, and provide an adapter fitting for connection to the brewer.

3. If installed with saddle valve should have minimum of 1/8″ port hole for up to 25 ft., and 5/16″ port hole for over 25 ft.

4. Connect incoming water line to the incoming male fitting on the back of brewer. Manufacturer recommends connecting to copper tubina.

INITIAL OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: – Read & follow initial operation instructions before plugging or wiring in machine to electrical circuit. Warranty will be void if machine is connected to any voltage other than that specified on the serial plate.
Newco automatic coffee brewers are designed with the feature of brewing as a pour over, except models K3A, KAF, K5A and K5AF.

ALL MODELS (EXCEPT KT-3 TEA BREWER)

1. BEFORE PLUGGING OR WIRING BREWER INTO PROPER VOLTAGE CIRCUIT: Place empty decanter under brew basket. For airport brewers, open airpot lid and remove stem from airpot. Place airpot under brew basket. Brewer must be manually filled by pouring three decanters (180 oz.) of water into top pour-in assembly. Water should come through brew basket as third decanter drains out of pour in basin. if brewer does not have pour in dish, models KA, KAF, K5A and K5AF remove top cover of brewer and pour 3 decanters of water into pour in basin.

2. Adjust timer to deliver desired amount of water. To brew into a regular 60 oz. decanter little adjustment should be needed. For brewing with the airpot brewer into a 72 oz. airpot the adjustment should be increased. To increase amount of water, increase time of water flow by turning timer dial slightly clockwise. To decrease amount of water, decrease time of water flow by turning time dial slightly counter clockwise.

3. Return power to the brewer.

4. Allow 10-15 minutes for water in tank to heat to brewing temperature. (Additional water may drip from brew basket on initial expansion of water in tank, this will not occur thereafter.) If brewer has ready light, brewer is ready when light is on.

5. After water has reached brewing temperature (thermostat will click off and heating noise will stop), place empty decanter under brew basket. Depress start switch & run a cycle of water to remove expanded water from tank.

6. Run one cycle to check for proper temperature with an accurate thermometer. Take the temperature of this water at a point below the brew basket opening, at the start of the cycle and when the decanter is half full. Recommended temperature of the water is
   approximately 195 degrees Fahrenheit.

7. Due to higher altitude locations (5,000 ft. above sea level) – thermostat may have to be re-adjusted to prevent boiling.

8. CAUTION: On faucet models the water faucet will dispense hot water when handle is depressed. The faucet system is independent of the brewing system and can be operated during the brew cycle. Once brewer is pressurized operate faucet until water flows smoothly.

MODEL KT-3 (TEA BREWER)

1. Remove back panel from brewer.
2. Place tea urn under brewer.
3. Fill tank with water by pouring 3 decanters (180 oz.) of water into receiving pan. Some water will flow through sprayhead. Empty tea urn.
4. Plug in brewer. Close needle valve (Fig. 5A) in tea brewer control panel by turning clockwise.
5. Set timer (Fig. 5B) to 180 seconds. Start brew cycle by pressing start switch.
6. Tea urn should fill with one brew cycle. If not, adjust timer until desired level in tea urn is achieved (3 gallons).
7. Open needle valve by turning counter clockwise 3 to 4 full revolutions. This will give 2 gals. of cold water flowing through dilution tube and 1 gal. of hot water concentrate through sprayhead.
8. Replace back panel.

LIMING
To prevent liming problems in tank fittings remove sprayhead and insert deliming spring ali the way into the tank. When inserted into tank properly, no more than ten inches of the spring should be visible at the sprayhead fitting. Saw back and forth five or six times. This will keep fittings open and clear of lime. In hard water areas this should be done every day; this takes less than a minute. In all areas sprayhead should be cleaned at least once a week.
Time involved is about thirty seconds. Where bad liming has already occurred, a new complete tank assembly can be installed in five minutes.
