Lance-Larkin Brew Express BE-104C Operation Manual - page 8
1. Select Water Volume
The water volume can be set to 2 cup or 4 cup using the slide switch on the back of the unit.
This feature was intended for applications where the volume is set at installation and not changed.
When the switch is in the up position (2 cup mode), 7 to 9 oz (207 to 266 ml) of water
will be dispensed. The 4 cup mode dispenses 17 to 19 oz (503 to 562 ml).
2. Set Up Brew Basket
Based on the volume selected in step 1, choose the appropriate brew basket. If the “4 cup” mode is selected
use the carafe brew basket. If the “2 cup” mode is selected use the single cup brew basket. Note, the carafe
brew basket can be used for a single cup application if the stopper is removed (see step # 7). Select the
appropriate filter and place into brew basket. Add desired amount of coffee for taste preference (typically
1 tbsp per cup). Slide the brew basket into the brewer.
CAUTION – Ensure brew basket is completely inserted, otherwise problems may occur such as excessive
steam or overfilling.
Coffee Filter Selection – The carafe brew basket uses a 2-4 cup filter. Filters vary in height. It is important to
select a filter that extends to the top of the brew basket, otherwise coffee grounds may overfill the filter. The
single cup brew basket uses a #2 cone type filter.
3. Position Carafe or Mug
Position an empty carafe or mug in the BREW EXPRESS under the brew basket. The detection sensor
will not allow the brewer to operate unless the carafe or mug is positioned under the brew basket. The brew light
will blink if nothing is detected. When using a cup or mug, place it back far enough to trip sensor.
WARNING: ALWAYS EMPTY CARAFE OR MUG PRIOR TO STARTING THE UNIT OR OVERFILLING WILL OCCUR.
4. Brew Cycle
To manually start a brew cycle press the “Brew” button. The brew light will turn red once the cycle has started.
If brewer is cold, the heater will preheat the water before starting the brew cycle. After the selected amount of
water is dispensed, the brew light will blink for 40 seconds. At that time the BREW EXPRESS will beep 4 times.
5. Pause-N-Brew Feature
The BREW EXPRESS carafe can be removed during brew cycle to pour a cup of coffee. The detection sensor will stop
the flow of water and the valve on the brew basket will prevent existing water from spilling. Once carafe is
returned, operation will continue. If carafe is missing for over 5 minutes, BREW EXPRESS will shut off automatically.
