25 feet from the 1/2" water supply line. A tight coil of copper tubing in the water line will facili- tate moving the brewer to clean the counter top. Bunn- O-Matic does not recommend the use of a saddle valve to install the brewer.
PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS (Cont.) Plumbing Hook-Up Model OT15 has an attached water strainer, proceed to step 2. Models OT20, OT35, & RT35, proceed as follows: Remove the rear panel and bottom pan. Run the long piece of tubing from the strainer (supplied) under the brewer and attach it to the water inlet fitting on the solenoid.
3. Setting programming disable feature. If it becomes necessary to prevent anyone from changing brew times once programmed, you can set the SET/LOCK switch to the “LOCK” position. This will prevent any program- ming to be done until switch is once again placed in the “SET” position. OPERATING CONTROLS MODEL OT MODEL RT P1687 P1688...
