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 the appropriate empty decanter into position below the brew basket. For airpots first open lid and
remove pump stem. For other dispensers remove the lid unless it is a brew through design. Turn power on by
depressing the "On/Off switch located on the face plate to the left of the "Brew Start" switch.
5)
Press brew start switch. Note: a brew cycle may be initiated even if the heating light is on.
6)
If the autoarm feature is enabled the heating light will begin to flash indicating that the brewer is heating
and will begin to brew immediately after the heating cycle is complete. Do not remove decanter. Brew cycle may
be canceled by depressing the power switch. Light on power switch should go out and heating light should no
longer be flashing.
7)
Hot water will be delivered through the sprayhead. This distributes the hot water evenly over the coffee
bed within the brew basket. The coffee brew will drain from the brew basket into the decanter below.
8)
The Brewing light should continue to flash until all the liquid has finished flowing from the brew basket. Do
not remove decanter until the brewing process has stopped and all liquid has stopped flowing from the
brewbasket.
9)
The resultant coffee brew should be crystal clear and have the desired properties attainable through
excellent extraction.
10)
To clean brew basket simply remove from brew rails and dump filter into waste basket. The brewing
process, as described above, can now be started again.
Digital Brew Timing is accurate to within .1 seconds over the entire adjustment range of 30 to 240 seconds. Brew
time adjustment knob may be turned down during the brew cycle until brewing stops. Can aid in setting the unit up.
See Fig 1 on page 5 for setting information.
Control Brew cycles the fill valve on and off during the brew cycle. This slows the entry of cold water into the tank
and minimizes the mixing action caused by introducing a large volume of cold water into the tank at one time
resulting in a 3-5 degree increase in brew temperature.
Visa-Brew continues to flash the brewing light after the fill portion of the brew cycle has stopped alerting the user
that the brewed hot coffee has not finished draining from the brew basket. this popular feature has been enhanced
with an autocal feature. Simply turn the adjustment dial all the way up, start a normal brew cycle as described
under the "OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS", and after the brewed coffee has quit dripping from the basket turn the
dial down just until the light quits flashing. Visa Brew is now custom set for your machine, filters, and coffee. See
Fig 1 on page 5 for setting information.
Auto Power Save allows you to automatically save energy when the brewer is not in use for a specified length of
time ranging from 30 to 240 minutes. By using the "Tank Heater Mode" switch located on the back of the brewer
you may select one of the three operation modes.
Mode I is the "Power Save" mode. In this mode the tank temperature will be maintained at approximately
170 degrees when the "Run Time..." setting on the control board has been reached. Heating light will
flash once every minute to indicate unit is in power save mode.
Mode II is the "Normal" mode. In this mode the tank temperature will be maintained at the temperature
set on the control board at all times.
