Operating Procedures
1. Turn brewer on/off switch (
The power switch will illuminate to indicate that the brewer has power and is
•
operating.
When the ready light
•
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. Pre-heat the dispensers.
This step is very important to the overall success of the brewing operation.
FETCO avoids the damaging affects of heat on fresh brewed coffee by using
highly insulated dispensers. The dispenser must be pre-heated with hot water
from the brewer. This preheating process ensures that the coffee in the first
brew starts out hot. Significant heat loss will occur when brewing coffee into a
cold dispenser. Preheating is not required for subsequent brews unless the
dispenser remains empty for an extended period of time and has cooled down.
Slide the empty brew basket(s)
•
dispenser(s) in position under the basket for preheating. Select the half batch
(A)
mode,
if you have this option.
When the ready light illuminates, start a brew cycle by rotating the brew lever
•
(B)
to the brew position. This starts clean hot water flowing into the brew
basket and then into the dispenser.
Stop the cycle when each dispenser is approximately 1/2 full by moving the
•
brew lever to the off position. This interrupts the brew cycle and resets the
brewer.
Let the dispensers stand 10-15 minutes, or until use, to allow the heat from
•
the water to be absorbed by the dispensers.
3. Remove the brew baskets from the brewer when you are certain that the flow of hot water has stopped
from the bottom of the basket.
H model brewers will have a safety bar
•
2-handed operation. This was done to help draw attention to the basket so the operator will notice any
residual hot water or coffee.
Place a paper filter in each basket to be used. Pour into the paper filter the appropriate amount of pre-
•
measured, ground coffee. The amount of coffee used will depend on your personal tastes and the
recommendation of your roaster.
Slide the brew basket back into the rails on the brewer. Insure the latch is outside of the basket.
•
4. Carefully drain any coffee or preheating water from the dispensers through the faucets before starting
a coffee brewing cycle.
Overflowing of the dispensers may result if the dispensers are not completely empty when the brew cycle
•
begins. Verify by opening the faucet over an appropriate container or drain. The last several cups cannot be
seen in the sight gauge tube.
CAUTION: both the coffee or water may still be hot enough to cause burns, so be careful when draining the
•
dispensers
5. Place the thermal dispenser(s) in position under the brew baskets.
Ensure that the brew funnel is in place, the dispenser is empty, and the faucet is closed. If you are using
•
TPD-1.5 dispensers, also make sure the vent cap on the sight gauge is open.
The twist lock cover (TPD-1.5 dispensers) is for transporting the dispenser only. It must be removed before
•
placing the dispenser under the brew basket.
6. Start the brew cycle in the same manner used to start the water used to preheat the dispensers.
It will not be necessary to interrupt the cycle while brewing coffee. The brewer will return to the stopped and
•
ready status automatically.
It is normal for the ready light to go out after the start of the brew cycle. On twin brewers, there is enough
•
hot water in the brewer to support a second brew, even if the ready light is off. After brewing on both sides,
you must wait for the ready light to come back on.
The electrical configuration and the electrical power connected to the brewer will determine how long before
•
the ready light comes back on for the next brew.
