5. Electrical connections must be secured in-place within the unit to meet national and local standards.
6. Finally, connect the power wires to the unit. Models rated for 120 VAC are factory equipped with a 120 VAC
cord and plug rated at either 15 amps or 20 amps, depending on the version ordered.
Models rated for 120V/208-240V have only a terminal block for connecting the incoming power wires. Consult
local codes to determine if a cord and plug can be installed, or if the unit must be hard wired.

Final Setup
1. Turn on the incoming water supply line and inspect both inside and outside of the brewer for leaks in all
fittings and tubes
2. Turn on the incoming power.
3. Turn on the brewer’s main power switch.
4. Within 6 seconds, the hot water tank will begin filling until the water is sensed by the probe at the top of the
tank.
5. The heaters will be disabled by the control board until the tank is full.
6. The brewer will be ready for operation as soon as the ready light comes on to signify that the water tank is
up to temperature. The time required to reach brewing temperature will vary according to the electrical
configuration ordered.
7. Review the Operating Instructions. Brew one server (water only) to confirm proper fill levels.The brewer is
factory set to deliver either 1.5 or 1.8 liters to the serving dispenser.
CAUTION: When a cold tank of water is heated, the water expands and fills the tank higher than normal.
As a result, the first batch may over fill the server by approximately 9 ounces. To prevent overflowing, drain
approximately 1 cup of water from the hot water faucet before brewing the first batch after installation, or
anytime the brewer has been turned off overnight. We recommend leaving the brewer turned ON overnight.
8. Re-attach the cover after one final inspection for leaks.
On initial startup with the water tank empty, if the tank does not fill within 2 ½ minutes, the green "READY" light will
begin flashing and the control board will display error code 101. This indicates that the water flow rate is too low. Turn
the power switch off and back on to reset and the tank will resume filling.
Operator Training
Review the operating procedures with whoever will be using the brewer. Pay particular attention to the following
areas:
1. Don't remove the brew basket until it has stopped dripping.
2. Make sure the dispenser is empty before brewing into it.
3. Show the location and operation of the water shut off valve as well as the circuit breaker for the brewer.
4. Steam from the tank will form condensation in the vent tube. This condensation will drip into and then out of
the brew baskets. 1/4 cup discharging overnight is possible. Place an appropriate container under the brew
basket when not in use.
5. We recommend leaving the power to the brewer on overnight. The water tank is well insulated and will use very
little electricity to keep the tank hot. Leaving the brewer in the on position will also avoid delays at the
beginning of shifts for the brewer to reach operating temperature, and will prevent overflowing of the first batch.
Warning: When using glass lined servers, avoid sudden changes in temperature, which may cause the
glass liner to shatter. Do not rinse a warm server in cold water. Use only warm or hot water.
