General Description This urn is an automatic, push button operated, volume brewing unit. It consists of a non- pressure vented water compartment of large capacity into which two stainless steel coffee liners are inserted. Also installed within this water compartment are electric immersion heaters thermostatically controlled through a contactor relay, to keep the water always at the desired temperature.
Installation IMPORTANT TO ALLOW 6” CLEAR SPACE FOR ACCESS TO CONTROL BOX. Urn should be level, both front to back and left to right. CONNECT WATER LINE. 3/8” NPT water inlet located at left end and provide shutoff valve and union in supply line near urn. 140 mum - 70PSI maximum.
Spray-Over Time - Volume - Rate Timer and spray-over rate are factory set as per information below. If other volumes of water or a faster or slower spray-over rate is desired, see following instructions: Timer Adjustment Turn adjustment knob clockwise to decrease time, counterclockwise to increase time. Operation Start-Up Checks/Brew Cycle Adjustments Turn thermostat dial to BREW position.
How To Brew In An Automatic Urn Place filter in brew basket with designated amount of ground coffee (automatic urns are designed to use 1, 2, 3 or 4 lbs. of coffee). Make certain you have a level bed of coffee. Consult your coffee supplier for exact brewing specifications.
Thermostat The thermostat is factory set so that the knob on the BREW setting holds the urn at brewing temperature toward the HI end of brew zone on the thermometer dial. Then, if turned back to HOLD position, the thermostat should cycle on and off and hold at the LO end of the BREW zone on the thermometer.
Care and Cleaning of Coffee Urn Always rinse the urn immediately after each use. Add small quantity of hot water, brush sides and rinse with hot water until it runs clean. Urn is now ready for next batch. At end of each day clean and brush urn several times, then rinse thoroughly with hot water.
Solid State Coffee Agitation System Coffee agitation is accomplished with low pressure air, bubbling up through the coffee in liner. Air enters at the top coffee gauge elbow fittings and forces coffee down out of sight in gauge glasses during the agitation period. Air continues through into the liner connection elbow, and bubbles up from this center fitting.
Operation Malfunction and Service Problem - Thermostat dial turned to brew and water in tank remains cold. Possible Cause 1. No power at urn. 2. Power at urn, but no power at heater terminals. 3. Power at heater terminals, but no heat. PROBLEM: Water boils continuously with thermostat dial on position “BREW”...
Dual Level Control Auto Refill And Low Water Cutoff System 1. Dual Level Control: What it does: AUTO REFILL of the water compartment to keep the tank filled with water. When water is used, the fill valve opens automatically to let more in. The fill valve closes when the water level reaches full.
