Operating Instructions; Cleaning & Maintenance - Fetco CBS-2018 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 coffee supplier.
•
Slide the brew basket into place.
3. Place the server in position under the brew basket.
•
Make sure the server is empty and that it is the correct size, or overflowing may result.
4. Start the brew cycle.
•
CAUTION: When a cold tank of water is heated, the water expands and fills the tank higher than
normal. As a result, the first batch may over fill the server by approximately 9 ounces. To prevent
overflowing, drain approximately 1 cup of water from the hot water faucet before brewing the first batch
after installation, or anytime the brewer has been turned off overnight.
We recommend leaving the brewer turned ON overnight.
•
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 50 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.
•
Each ounce of coffee retains up to two ounces of water, therefore your brew level will be reduced
proportionally to the amount of coffee used.
Optional Setting: Brew Temperature Protection
The CBS-2018 is factory set so that it cannot brew unless the water is at the programmed brewing
temperature (the green "ready" light must be on). This may be changed to allow brewing at any
temperature. See the Programming section for instructions.
Optional Setting: Pre-wetting
The CBS-2018 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 Programming section for instructions on setting this feature.
Daily: Wipe the area above the brew basket to remove coffee residue.
Daily or Weekly: The spray plate should be removed and cleaned to remove hard water deposits. In areas with
extremely hard water, it may be necessary to do this daily. Weekly cleaning may be sufficient in some areas.
When cleaning the spray plate, make sure that each hole is completely free of mineral deposits. A toothpick may
be used for cleaning out the holes. Never use metal objects or abrasives on the spray plate's Teflon coating.
Warning: When using glass lined servers, avoid sudden changes in temperature, which may cause the glass liner
to shatter. Do not rinse a warm server in cold water. Use only warm or hot water.
