Operating Procedures 

1.  Turn brewer power switch to the on position  

•  The power switch will illuminate to indicate that the brewer has power and is operational. 

• When 

the 

ready light illuminates, the brewer is fully up to temperature.  The amount of time required to 

gain full operating temperature will vary depending on voltage and the temperature of the incoming 

water. 

2.  Prepare the brew basket. 

•  Place a paper filter in the brew basket.  Pour the appropriate amount of tea or coffee into the paper 

filter, and distribute it evenly.  The amount used will depend on your personal tastes and the 

recommendation of your supplier. 

•  Slide the brew basket into place. A brew basket sensor will prevent the brewer from operating if the 

brew basket is not all the way in. The ready light will blink a few times when the brew switch is 

pressed to indicate this error.

3.   Place the tea dispenser or coffee dispenser with brewing stand in position under the brew basket. 

•  Make sure the dispenser is empty.  Overflowing may result if it is not completely empty when the brew 

cycle begins. 

•  When brewing tea, ensure that the dilution spout is inserted into the back of the dispenser 

•  When brewing tea, ensure that the dispenser is pushed all the way in, so that the dispenser body is 

pressing the sensing switch. (Iced Tea Only Version: The sensing switch may be disabled for using a 

non standard tea dispenser. See # 59 in Diagnostics section.) 

•  Iced Tea / Coffee Version only: The dispenser sensing switch will prevent coffee from being brewed if 

the tea dispenser is in place and vice versa. 

4.   Start the brew cycle.  

•  Start a brew cycle by pressing the start switch. 

Iced Tea Only Version: The switch has 2 positions, FULL and HALF.

Iced Tea / Coffee Version: The switch has 2 positions: ICED TEA and COFFEE. 

•  The brew light will be lit during the brew cycle and will blink during the drip delay*, indicating that hot 

liquid may still be dripping from the brew basket and that cold water may be flowing into the back of the 

tea dispenser through the dilution tube.  Do not move the dispenser until the brew light has gone out. 

(* Units with red LED display: Brew light blinks during brew cycle and drip delay.) 

•  CAUTION! Do not remove the brew basket until dripping from the bottom of the brew basket has 

stopped.  Carefully remove the brew basket while inspecting the inside of the basket for hot liquid that 

may have been trapped or has not finished draining. 

•  To interrupt the brew cycle at any time, press the stop switch.  This will reset all functions.
