Brew Chamber Installation

The correct removal and installation procedure for the brew chamber is crucial. Although the
•
assembly can be easily removed for cleaning (by lifting up the latch bar in front of the chamber),
the re-installation requires some precision. The wiper assembly on the chamber must be
inserted between the two stainless steel arms located at the rear of the brewer. These two arms
can be easily located once the brew chamber assembly is removed. Failure to properly align
the brew chamber during installation may result in excessive brewer damage.
Lift Latch and
Pull Brew
Chamber
When re-installing the brew chamber, make certain it is properly locked in position. Gently
•
grip the top of the brew chamber (not the release latch) and pull it slightly. If it is not
properly locked in place, you will be able to pull it out. Failure to lock the brew chamber in
place will result in the chamber moving forwards, and then coming down on top of the plastic
cylinder lip in front of the filter screen. This can damage the brew chamber, cylinder, the
arms and bearings and/or the vertical rod housing.

General Maintenance and Adjustments

Never turn the brewer backwards. This will damage the arms and bearings and possibly
•
the cam.
Use only the VKI designed screen extraction tool (illustrated below) to remove the re-
•
useable filter screen. The use of any other tools will damage the brewer.
• When performing a brewer rinse, use only VKI approved powder cleaner. Any other
chemicals or detergents may damage the brewer. Do not, under any circumstances,
soak the brewer's plastic parts in brewer cleaner for prolonged periods of time
(maximum is 30 minutes).
