Electrical Connection
1. Verify that the actual voltage at the electrical service connection is compatible with the specifications on the
brewer's serial number label. Make sure the electrical service includes neutral.
2. The temperature and water tank fill level are pre-set at the factory. There is no need to turn off the heaters
during the installation process. The heaters are disabled by the control board until the tank is full of water.
The heating process will start automatically when the tank has filled.
3. Only 120vac powered units are shipped from the factory with power cords and plugs attached. For other
voltages, a terminal block is provided for connecting the incoming power wires. Consult local codes to
determine if a cord and plug can be installed, or if the unit must be hard wired.
4. A fused disconnect switch or circuit breaker on the incoming power line must be conveniently located near
the brewer, and its location and markings known to the operators.
5. The body of the brewer must be grounded to a suitable building
ground. A ground lug is provided in the brewer next to the power
terminal block. Use only 10 gauge copper wire for grounding.
6. Electrical connections must be secured in-place within the unit to
meet national and local standards.

7. Finally, connect the incoming power wires to the terminal block in accordance with applicable codes.
Final Setup
1. Turn on the incoming water supply line and inspect both inside and outside of the brewer for leaks in all
fittings and tubes
2. Turn on the incoming power.
3. Turn on the brewer's main power switch.
4. Within 6 seconds, the hot water tank will begin filling until the water is sensed by the probe at the top of the
tank.
5. The heaters will be disabled by the control board until the tank is full.
6. The brewer will be ready for operation as soon as the ready light comes on to signify that the water tank is
up to temperature. The time required to reach brewing temperature will vary according to the electrical
configuration ordered.
7. Review the Operating Instructions. Brew one full batch (water only) on each side to confirm proper fill
levels. The brewer is factory set with water only (no coffee) to dispense the correct amount of water.
8. Re-attach the covers after one final inspection for leaks. Look closely in the top of the brewer at the
dispense fittings during this inspection.
Operator Training
Review the operating procedures with whoever will be using the brewer. Pay particular attention to the following
areas:
1. Always pre-heat the dispensers before the first use of each day by filling them half way with hot water, and
letting them stand for at least 15 minutes.
2. Don't remove the brew basket until it has stopped dripping.
3. Make sure the dispenser is empty before brewing into it.
4. Show how to attach covers, close, and or secure the thermal dispensers for transporting.
5. Show the location and operation of the water shut off valve as well as the circuit breaker for the brewer.
6. Steam from the tank will form condensation in the vent tubes. This condensation will drip into and then out
of the brew baskets. 1/4 cup discharging overnight is possible. Place an appropriate container under each
brew basket when not in use.
7. We recommend leaving the power to the brewer on overnight. The water tank is well insulated and will use
very little electricity to keep the tank hot. Leaving the brewer in the on position will also avoid delays at the
beginning of shifts for the brewer to reach operating temperature.
