Operating Procedures; Cleaning - Fetco CBS-18 User Manual

1. Turn brewer on/off switch to the on position
•
The power switch will illuminate to indicate that the brewer has power and is operating.
•
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 the electrical configuration that
was ordered, 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 pre-measured, ground
coffee into the paper filter, and distribute it evenly. The amount of coffee used will depend on your
personal tastes and the recommendation of your roaster.
•
Slide the brew basket into place.
3. Place the server in position under the brew basket.
•
Make sure the server is empty. Overflowing may result if it is not completely empty when the brew
cycle begins.
•
Ensure that the brew-though cover is in place and the lever is in the open position.
4. Start the brew cycle.
•
When the ready light illuminates, start a brew cycle by pressing the start switch.
•
The brew light will illuminate during the brew cycle. At the end of the brew cycle, the brew light will
flash for 90 seconds, indicating that coffee is still dripping from the brew basket.
•
CAUTION! Do not remove the brew basket until the brew light stops flashing and dripping from the
bottom of the brew basket has stopped. Carefully remove the brew basket while inspecting the
inside of the basket for hot coffee 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.
Optional Setting: Brew Temperature Protection
The CBS-18 may be set so that it cannot brew unless the water is at the proper temperature. If a
brew cycle is started without the ready light on, no water will be dispensed and the brew light will
begin flashing. Once the water heats to the proper temperature, the brew cycle will begin normally.
See the Settings & Adjustments section for instructions on setting this feature.
Optional Setting: Pre-wetting
The CBS-18 has an optional pre-wetting feature. When the brew cycle is started, water will be
sprayed over the coffee grounds for 5 seconds, followed by a 30 second delay before the regular
brew cycle begins. See the Settings & Adjustments section for instructions on setting this feature.
Brewer: The spray pan should be removed and cleaned periodically to remove hard water deposits. In areas
with extremely hard water, it may be necessary to do this weekly. Monthly cleaning may be sufficient in areas
with average water conditions.
Servers: The servers should be cleaned daily with mild detergent and a soft brush or sponge. Never allow
coffee to sit inside the server overnight to prevent deposits from forming. Do not use wire brushes.
Do not place the servers in a dishwasher
Warning: Avoid sudden changes in temperature in the server, which may cause the glass liner to
shatter. Do not rinse a warm server in cold water. Use only warm or hot water.
