INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS



WARNING - Read and follow installation instructions before plugging or wiring in machine to electrical circuit.

Warranty will be void if unit is connected to any voltage other than that listed on the name plate.

FILL BREWER TANK WITH WATER BEFORE CONNECTION TO POWER SUPPLY

1) Place the decanter under brew basket, raise top evaporation cover and pour three decanters of water through the top pour-in opening. Water should come through the brew basket as the third decanter of water drains out of the pour-in basin.

2) Brewer is shipped with thermostat turned on, (full clockwise position). Plug brewer into a dedicated, grounded

120V/15A circuit.

3) Allow 10-15 minutes for water in tank to heat to brewing temperature. (Hot water may drip from brew basket on initial thermal expansion of water in the tank). This will not occur thereafter.

4) After water has reached brewing temperature (thermostat will click off, heating noise will stop and green ready light will be on) pour 1 decanter (60 oz.) of water through pour-in opening. More than 1 decanter of water will flow into decanter below brew basket due to water expansion in tank. Machine in now ready to use.

5) Pour 1 decanter of water through pour-in opening to check for proper temperature setting with an accurate thermometer. Take the temperature of this water at a point below the brew basket opening at the start of the brew cycle and when the decanter is half full. Recommended temperature of the water is approximately 195°F.

6) In higher altitude locations (5,000 feet above sea level) the thermostat may have to be adjusted lower to prevent boiling.

COFFEE PREPARATION PROCEDURES

1) Place filter into brew basket.

2) Put the proper amount of coffee into the filter.

3) Slide the brew basket into holder.

4) Place empty decanter on warmer located directly under the brew basket and turn corresponding warmer switch ON.

NOTE: For airpots, open airpot lid, remove pump stem from airpot and place airpot opening directly under center hole in brew basket.

5) Pour decanter of fresh water through pour-in opening at top of brewer.

6) Hot water will be delivered through the sprayhead. This distributes the hot water evenly over the coffee bed within the brew basket. The coffee will drain from brew basket into the container below.

7) TURN OFF WARMER WHEN NOT IN USE. (Red light indicates warmer is ON.) Not for airpot brewers.

8) Before brewing next pot, remove brew basket from brew rails and dump filter into waste basket.
