Brewing System

Before brewing, always verify the cleanliness of the brew baskets and dispensers.
1. Push the POWER switch to the ON position
•
The button will illuminate to indicate that the brewer has power and is operational.
2. Prepare the brew basket(s).
•
Carefully open the drawer holding the brew basket by pulling the
handle out until it stops.
•
Grasp the brew basket by one handle, and turn it until you can reach
both handles comfortably.
•
Grasp both handles and lift the basket out of the drawer. If
necessary, empty and rinse the brew basket.
•
Place a paper filter in each basket to be used. Pour the appropriate
amount of pre-measured, ground coffee into the filter. Spread the
coffee evenly in the basket until it is a uniform depth. (The amount
of coffee used will depend on your personal tastes and the
recommendation of your coffee supplier.)
•
Place the brew basket back into the drawer. Turn the brew basket
to align either one of the handles with either front corner of the
drawer.
•
Close the drawer completely. When fully closed, the drawer will be
flush with the front surface of the brewer.
3. Place the appropriate dispenser(s) in position under the brew baskets.
•
Ensure that the brew-through cover is in place, the dispenser is empty enough to handle the amount of
coffee to be brewed, and the faucets are closed.
•
Ensure that the dispensers are pushed all the way in, and that the brew funnels are aligned with the bottom
of the brew baskets.
•
When using carts, always set both parking brakes. The brakes are set by pressing your foot on the paddle
just above each of the two wheels closest to you. When the brakes are set, a green button extends above
the paddle. To release the brakes for moving, press the green button with your foot.
4. Press the BREW button to start the brew cycle
•
If the READY light is on when the button is pressed, the brew cycle will begin immediately, and the BREW
button will flash.
•
If the READY light is off when the button is pressed, the BREW button will illuminate with a steady glow.
When the water has heated to the proper temperature, the READY light will go on, the brew cycle will begin,
and the BREW button will begin flashing.
•
If necessary, you may stop the brew cycle at any time by pressing the STOP button. This will reset the
brewer, and you will have to start a new brew cycle from the beginning.
5. The RINSE button (labeled "FLUSH" on some brewers)
•
When this button is pressed, both the brew and bypass valves will open, allowing the maximum amount of
water to flow into the brew basket. Water will flow only while the button is pressed.
•
Used primarily to rinse the brew basket at the end of the day, it may also be used to pre-heat the brew
basket before brewing.
•
Caution! If held in too long, may cause the dispenser to overflow.
CAUTION:
•
Do not remove the brew basket or move the dispensers immediately after the brew cycle has
finished. Wait until dripping from the bottom of the brew basket has stopped. This may take several
minutes.
•
When removing the brew basket, carefully inspect the inside of the basket for hot coffee that may
have been trapped or has not finished draining.
•
Always set both parking brakes whenever carts are not being transported.
