The platinum brewing system is in a class of it’s own in the single cup coffee business and is specifically designed for Avalon units. Its vacuum extraction process, joined with a high quality filter paper, brews a coffee of unsurpassed quality to meet the taste profile of the most dicerning coffee drinkers.

4.6 Brewing Process
1
Step 1 Ascent of the piston
The ground coffee and the water are dispensed into the brew chamber during the ascension of the piston. This compresses the air in the cylinder and forces it through the coffee mixture in the brew chamber thereby agitating the brewing coffee.
2
3
Step 2 Pauses
Once the piston has reached its top dead point, it will pause to allow the coffee to brew to the appropriate strength. There will be one shot of water before the descent to rinse the chamber.
Step 3 Descent of the piston
The descent of the piston will create a vacuum thereby extracting the coffee from the grounds through the filter paper and into the cylinder. One last pause will be to allow all the coffee to drip from the brew chamber.
4
14
Step 4 Product delivery
The piston follows its course heading to its low dead point.
Distribution of coffee through the spout begins once the piston is below the coffee exit. Meanwhile, the brew chamber lifts to allow the paper to advance thereby discarding the spent grounds into the waste chute.

5.3 Automatic Safety Features
There are various safety mechanisims on this brewing equipment to prevent a machine malfunction resulting in material damages.
Water Level Switch and Heater Safety Switch
The water level switch and the heater safety switch work together to ensure that the heating element is deactivated if there is insufficient water in the tank. The water level switch is controlled by a float and will shut off the inlet valve when the tank is full. If the level in the tank gets too low, the heater safety switch will be triggered and the heating element will be turned off.
Overflow Switch
If the water were to boil, the tank water would go into the overflow cup and all machine functions would be turned off. This is a fatal error. This could also be triggered if the float in the tank was defective or if the machine was moved while the tank was full. The unit would appear Off.
Overflow Drip Tray
This will be triggered if the drip tray is full or if something is leaking inside the unit. This will deactivate the water inlet valve thereby preventing the element to heat. The unit would indicate “Drip tray full’.
Software Safety Features
At the time of the first tank fill, the water inlet valve will close after 4.5 minutes of continuous demand. This is the amount of time necessary to completly fill the tank. After the initial tank fill, the inlet valve will close after 20 seconds of continuous demand. This safety mechanism is designed to prevent water from flowing continuously into the machine due to a mechanical malfunction. The unit will indicate “Low water level”
If the low water level switch is triggered but not the heater safety switch, the element will automatically be shutoff. This is in the event of a mechanical failure of the heater safety switch.

6.4.2 Adjusting the Tank Overflow Float
It is important to verify that the float is positioned appropriately in the overflow cup since it can move around in transportation. If this float is not in place the switch will not be activated and the unit will automatically shut down sensing an overflow situation.
It is important to verify that the overflow cup is in place with the highest side in the front and secured with the tape. If you need to remove this cup, please make sure that you replace it with the highest section facing the front and the overflow tube in the cup. This will ensure that the float will “float” and will activate the overflow switch if there is a problem.

6.6 Water Line Connection
This equipment must be installed in compliance with applicable Federal, State and/or
Municipal plumbing codes having jurisdiction.
Make sure that the equipment is unplugged before proceeding with the water supply installation. Also verify that the incoming water pressure is greater than 20 psi and no more than 80 psi.
1. Prior to installing the unit, flush out the water line by running approximately 1 gal. of water into a
pail. This will ensure no sediment from a new installation can get in the unit;
2. The incoming water supply should have a shut-off valve connected in-line. Water supply should be
a plastic 1/4” or 3/8” O.D. dedicated line branched off a larger supply line;
3. Make sure your water source is turned off. Secure the inlet fitting firmly onto the inlet valve. Do not
overtighten;
4. Make sure the equipment is unplugged. Connect the water line to the quick connect inlet fitting;
5. Turn the water valve on, sending water to the brewer. If there are any leaks, tighten connections to
stop leakage.
This procedure does not take into consideration the installation of a water filtration system.
Please refer to the water filter manufacturer installation instructions and incorporate them into the above.

SERVICE MANUAL AVALON La Petite-X Single-Cup Brewer
6.8 Water Temperature
This equipment has a coffee brewing setpoint of 202 F water temperature to offer a consistent beverage quality for the users. There is a +/- 2 degree F tolerance.
This is an average and is not what you would get from a manual temperature measure. The actual water temperature fluctuates since cold water enters the tank after every beverage delivery and time is required to heat the incoming water up to the setpoint.
You can also take the water’s brewing temperature manually by ordering a cup of hot water and measuring its temperature with a thermometer. There may be a slight difference from the tank reading.
This is normal.
If you are experiencing large temperature differences, verify that your tank is clean and not obstructed by mineral deposits and scale.
Unit safety measures
In the event of a temperature probe failure, the tank may start to boil. This will cause it to overflow into the
“Overflow Cup” and will automatically shut off the unit.

8 CLEANING AND SANITIZING
8.1 Cleaning and Sanitizing Instructions
It is important to clean and sanitize this equipment on a regular basis in order to maintain the highest beverage quality.These regulations require that all parts in contact with food be cleaned and sanitized regularly and that hands be cleaned before handling these parts or other commodities such as cups and stirs.
Cleaning and sanitizing should be done in separate steps as prescribed by health regulations and good industry practice.
Cleaning:
Sanitizing:
Cleaning means “Making free of visible soil, stains or impurities”. This also means removing food soils, oil or mineral deposits that could alter the beverage taste or appearance and therefore, its quality.
Sanitizing means application of measures designed to protect public health. This is done by removing bacteria remaining on the surface after it has been cleaned.
There are two sanitation methods:
1. Chemically, the part can be treated with a bactericidal compound to remove bacteria;
2. With water of at least 212 F, the bacteria can be killed if the temperature of the part is raised high
enough.
Always unplug the unit before using water on electrical parts of the machine.
For the sanitation process to work effectively, the part must be cleaned and free of all visible food soil, completely rinsed and preferably air dried. Wiping with towels or cloths can recontaminate cleaned food-contact surfaces. Therefore, we recommend to air dry sanitized food - contact surfaces and not wipe dry.
FREQUENCY:
There are two important variables that need to be considered when evaluating cleaning and sanitizing frequencies:
· Product consumption
· Water quality
Since the expected customer usage may vary for one location to another, the cleaning and maintenance is recommended upon the given time lines or cycle counts, which ever comes first. Note that these are intended as a guideline to ensure a part does not go without cleaning. We recommend you verify each part listed in this section upon each visit and that they be cleaned as needed.
8.2 Recommended Cleaning Tools
In order to perform the following cleaning procedure effectively, we recommend that you have at least the following tools:
- Pail or bucket
- Small tube brush suitable for food-contact surfaces
- Medium size long and flexible brush, suitable for food-contact surfaces
- Medium brush for coffee grounds, suitable for food-contact surfaces
- Disposable towels, wet-strength and lint-free
- Mild nonabrasive detergent for exterior cleaning
- Urn cleaner packets for coffee parts
- Spare parts if extensive cleaning is to be done at the shop
- Garbage bags for the waste bin

8.4 Overall Cleaning
It is important to keep the brewer and its surroundings clean and tidy. Inspect your brewer both inside and out upon each visit and clean where needed. Please make sure that the unit is clean, safe and functioning before you leave.
8.5 Exterior Cleaning
Frequency: Daily
To minimize scratching and preserve appearance, we recommend using a clean damp sponge or soft cloth lightly treated with a nonabrasive detergent for cleaning the exterior of the unit and the base cabinet. After removing all food soils, thoroughly dry with a clean, soft cloth.

8.5.1 Cleaning the drip tray
Frequency: Daily or as needed
The drip tray is not hooked up to a drain therefore it should be inspected and emptied periodically.
WARNING, drip tray may be full.
Use caution and keep it level to avoid spilling. Remove the drip tray by simply lifting gently and pulling it out from underneath the door. Rinse both parts under water and dry thoroughly with a clean dry cloth or towel. Reinstall the drip tray onto the brewer and make sure that it is stable.

SERVICE MANUAL AVALON La Petite-X Single-Cup Brewer
8.5.2 Emptying the waste bin
Frequency: Daily or every 200 cycles*
After each coffee cycle, the spent grounds and used filter paper are automatically discarded into the waste bin located in the stand. To prevent the bin from overflowing there is an automatic function which stops the brewer and shows the following message on the LCD screen:
Needs Service
Activate Brewer
The maximum setting = 399
The minimum setting = 0
Setting it to 0 will disable the automatic function and will cause an overflow problem if the bin is full.
The equipment will not dispense beverages until the bin is emptied and the counter is reset. To reset the counter, the brewer switch (#SW4) needs to be activated by being turned on and off. This factory set counter can be adjusted to the waste bin size used. See the machine parameters for more instructions on changing the setting.
How to empty the stand waste bin:
1. Open the stand door located directly below the brewer;
2. Cut the filter paper 4“ below the drum with scissors or tear gently; DO NOT YANK ON THE PAPER!
3. Remove the filled plastic bag from the spent grounds bin and replace with a new one;
4. Activate the brewer switch (#SW4) by turning it on and off (right then left).
How to empty the brewer internal waste bin*:
1. Open the brewer door;
2. Take the front panel off;
3. Activate the brewer switch (#SW4) by turning it on (to the right);
4. Cut the filter paper 4” below the drum with scissors or tear gently; DO NOT YANK ON PAPER!
5. Activate the brewer switch (#SW4) by turning it off (to the left);
6. Replace the front panel and close the door.
It is very important not to yank on the filter paper. Doing so may prevent the brewer from functioning properly.

* If you are using the internal waste bin provided with the unit, we recommand to set the counter to 15 cycles.

SERVICE MANUAL AVALON La Petite-X Single-Cup Brewer
8.6 Interior Parts Cleaning & Sanitizing
For sanitary reasons, do not use soap or detergent inside the brewer. Use hot water for on-site sanitation or suitable chemical products in the shop. Wiping with towels or cloths can recontaminate sanitized food-contact surfaces. Therefore, we recommend to air dry sanitized food-contact surfaces and not wipe dry. Allow sufficient time for the parts to dry thoroughly before closing the door.
Use a medium size brush dedicated for coffee grounds and a small dust pan to easily brush away coffee grounds and dust inside the brewer before cleaning with water.

10.2 Shutdown / Storage
If you need to store this brewing equipment for an extended period of time, follow this procedure to avoid any risk of injury or damage to the equipment.
1. Turn the unit off and unplug from the power outlet;
2. Drain the hot water tank (see instructions);
3. Empty the soluble canisters and the 3 bean canister;
4. Clean all parts of the unit before storing (see cleaning instructions)
5. Disconnect the white double wire from the heating element (see installation diagram)
6. Tie down the water level switch’s arm with a “tie-wrap” to keep the float from pulling down on
the switch during transportation. “ Do not overtighten”, this may damage the switch; this is
simply to keep the float from bouncing up and down on the switch.
10.2.1 Storing the Brewer Assembly
The brewer assembly is the heart of the equipment and is responsible for the taste of the coffee. It is therefore important that you store it properly when it is not in the unit. Always disengage your brewer clutch by using a pair of pliers and turning the pin located on the back clockwise until the brew chamber lifts up. This will release the pressure on the screen and seal. Your brewer must be on its back or its left side while on a table top. Do not sit the brewer on its right side (wheels and yoke) or straight up as these positions are not sturdy and could cause it to fall.
