In the Locked position all menus in this document are locked out, and the unit will only allow brewing functions. There are two versions of the header, 10 pin and 2 pin.
  • Both configurations are shown below.American-Metal-Ware-B-6-Precision-Brew-Digital-Decanter-Brewers-01 \(3\)

Controller Fuse Sizes

Fuses

  • Controller (pn A530-059) uses (2) 5mm x 20mm 5 Ampere fuses.
  • Controller (pn A530-056) uses (2) fuses – 1.25” x 0.25” 3AG series 312.
    • (1) is a 1 Ampere 3AG-1
    • (1) is a 5 Ampere 3AG-5

Operation

  • Brewing Procedure:
    • Place a new paper filter in the brew basket.
    • Put desired amount of ground coffee in brew basket. (3.5 oz (100 grams) maximum)
    • Place decanter or airpot under brew basket.
    • Be sure lower warmer is on. (if available)
    • Press “BREW” button to start brewing.
  • The “READY” light will flash for the entire brew cycle. Water will dispense for the set time of brew, and light will flash after water is dispensed to denote “drip time”. (ex.. Time set for 2:30, water is dispensed for 2:30, and light continues to flash for another 1:15 for total brew cycle of 3:45.)
  • Do not remove the brew basket while the “READY” light is blinking.
  • A stop function is added to the “BREW” switch. Pressing the “BREW” switch during a brew cycle will stop the brew. Coffee will need to be emptied from brew basket and brew procedure will need to be started again. After a brew cycle, the tank must reheat and the “READY” light must be lit before starting the next cycle. Reheat (recovery) time is dependent on voltage applied and inlet water temperature.
  • Approximate reheat times for a 64 oz decanter are as follows.
    • 120 Volt supply: 3-4 minutes
    • 120/208 Volt supply: 30-90 seconds
    • 120/240 Volt supply: 0 – 30 seconds

Pulse  Brewing Mode:

  • When mode is “ON” (number of pulses, pulse on, and pulse off time), and a brew cycle is initiated, water is dispensed for the ON time then stops for the OFF time to define one pulse. This repeats for number of pulses programmed. After pulsing is finished, the water continues to dispense for the remaining set time. During the pulse-off time, the water infuses the coffee and the bed rises to allow for better extraction.
  • When mode is “OFF” and a brew cycle is initiated, water is dispensed continually for the entire set time without any delay.

Energy Savings Mode (Warmer Shut-Off):
(ONLY FOR MODELS WITH WARMERS)

  • When set time has elapsed after a brew cycle, the lights above the warmer switches will flash and the warmers will automatically turn off. To stop lights from flashing, press one of the warmer switches. To turn warmers back on, press corresponding warmer switch. The timer will reset when a new brew cycle is initiated.
  • Refer to Adjustments section to adjust time values or simply disable mode. Time values may be adjusted from OFF to 10 minutes to 240 minutes in increments of 10 minutes.

Low Temp/No Brew Mode:

  • When set to “ON”, a brew cycle cannot be initiated until tank is hot and “READY” light is ON.
  • When set to “OFF”, a brew cycle may be initiated at any time.

Pour-Over Mode:

  • Note: Not available on B-6, B-DAP, and B-DGP (twin) models.
  • Brewers are capable of operating without a pressurized water source.
  • If there is no pressurized water source, brewer can be set-up as a pour-over.
  1. If no water is in the tank to begin with, pour about three decanters of fresh water into the basin. (Fig. D next page). A small amount of water should remain in the basin.
  2. If tank already has water, pour fresh water into basin (Fig D) until a small amount is in the basin and no longer drains into the tank.
  3. Place server under the EMPTY brew basket.
  4. Turn power on to machine.
  5. Go into Settings Mode and change “P-O” to “YES”.
  6. Display will read “P-O”. (Fig C)
  7. Wait until Ready light illuminates.
  8. Press-and-release Brew button to initiate a brew cycle.
  9. Water should stop flowing before READY light stops flashing to create a “short pot”.
  10. After tank water recovers and READY light illuminates, brewer is ready to brew coffee. See Brewing Procedure.

If brewer is in operation (connected to a pressurized water source) and water is shut off for four minutes, display will read “P-O” (Fig C) and brewer can be used as a pour-over:

  1. Place server under the EMPTY brew basket.
  2. Wait until Ready light illuminates.
  3. Press-and-release Brew button to initiate a brew cycle.
