Keys To A Successful Installation

FETCO coffee brewers are rugged and reliable machines that will provide many years of service. However, if not
installed correctly by qualified personnel, the brewer will not operate properly and damage to the brewer may result.
Damages resulting from improper installation are not covered by the warranty.
Here are the key points to consider before installation:
Electrical: All FETCO brewers require NEUTRAL. Ground is not an acceptable substitute. Installation without
neutral may cause damage to the electronic components.
The power connection to L1 on the terminal block must be at least 105 volts. Less than 105 volts will cause
erratic behavior from the brewer.
Push button circuit breakers are located on the front of the brewer, behind the dispensers.
Plumbing: This equipment is to be installed to comply with the applicable federal, state, or local plumbing codes.
The water line must be flushed thoroughly prior to connecting it to the brewer to prevent debris from contaminating
the machine.
General: Utilize a qualified beverage equipment service technician for installation.
Do not adjust the thermostat setting unless absolutely necessary. It is set at the factory for optimum
performance.
The heaters are protected by the liquid level control board when the tank is dry. There is no need to disable the
heaters during installation.

Brewer Installation

The installation must comply with applicable federal, state, and local codes having jurisdiction at your location. Check
with your local inspectors to determine what codes will apply to the installation and operation of FETCO products.
Brewer Set-up
•
Place the brewer stand (for mobile cart systems) or counter (for stationary systems) in the desired location.
Allow at least 1 foot of space between the wall and the back of the stand or counter.
For easy access and visibility, electrical shut off switches, circuit breakers, water valves, and filters should not be
located directly behind the brewer.
•
Using a carpenter's level, adjust the legs until the stand or counter is perfectly level front-to-back, and left-to-
right.
•
Each leg has a flange with 2 holes for bolting the stand or counter to the floor (required for safety). Mark the
location of the holes on the floor.
•
Set the stand or counter aside, and drill holes in the floor as marked. The materials used will depend on the floor
material.
•
Bolt the stand or counter to the floor, and double check to make sure it is level.
•
The brewer is shipped lying on its' back. Before standing it upright, remove the front cover. There is no need to
remove the 2 top covers.
•
Place the brewer on top of the stand or counter. This requires at least 3 people, 4 if possible.
•
Bolt the brewer to the stand or counter, using the nuts and bolts provided.
Drip Tray Drain Connection (stationary systems only)
•
A kitchen sink style drain is provided on the drip tray for connection to a 1 ½ inch drain pipe.
•
Before connecting the drain, the customer should select one of the three available height positions for mounting
the drip tray. Holes are provided in the back of the counter for each of the available positions.
Water connection
•
Caution! The hose barb fitting(s) protruding from the back of the unit are the tank drains. DO NOT connect the
incoming water to these fittings.
•
The water connection is a single 3/8 inch male flare fitting, located inside the lower compartment.
•
The brewer can be connected to a cold or hot water line. Cold water is preferred for best coffee flavor, but hot
water will allow for faster recovery times.
