The Curtis Alpha G3 is Factory Pre-Set and Ready to Go... Right from the Box.
Following are the Factory Settings for the Alpha Fresh-Trac:
• Brew Temperature = 202°F
• Brew Volume = Set to vessel requirements (60 oz).
System Requirements:
• Water Source 20 – 90 PSI (minimum flow rate of 1 GPM)
• Electrical: See attached schematic for standard model or visit www.wilburcurtis.com for your model.
SETUP STEPS
1. The unit should be level (left to right - front to back), on a secure surface.
2. Connect the water line to the water inlet fitting on the rear of the unit. Water volume flow to the machine should be consistent. Use
tubing sized sufficiently to provide a minimum flow rate of 1 gallon per minute.
NOTE: A water filtration system must be used to help maintain trouble-free operation. Air must be purged from the cartridge prior to
connection to equipment. In areas with extremely hard water, we highly recommend the use of a Curtis approved water filter. For our
full line of filters, please log on to www.wilburcurtis.com.
NSF International requires the following water connection:
1. A quick disconnect or additional coiled tubing (at least 2x the depth of the unit) is required so that the unit can be moved
for cleaning.
2. This unit must be installed with adequate backflow protection to comply with applicable federal, state and local codes.
3. Water pipe connections and fixtures directly connected to a portable water supply shall be sized, installed and main-
tained in accordance with federal, state, and local codes.
3. Connect the unit to electrical outlet with appropriate amperage rating (see serial tag on machine).
4. Once power has been supplied to the unit, flip the toggle switch to the 'ON' position (located on the rear of the unit), the water tank will
begin to fill. When the water level in the tank reaches the probe, the heating element(s) will turn on.
5. Water in the heating tank will require approximately a half hour before reaching operating temperature (factory setting of 202°F). When
the unit reaches operating temperature, it will display "READY TO BREW".

Guidelines for Pulse Brew: This feature allows tuning of the coffee flavor. The pot level should always be set first with this option OFF.

Filter Pack type coffees typically extract better with the A and B pulse setting. Decaf- feinated coffees typically extract better with the B pulse setting. High-Yield coffees typically extract better with the C pulse setting. Of course, any of the A, B or C settings may be used to suit your taste profile. There are two additional settings (D and E) that allow you to manually set the ON TIME pulses and OFF TIME. If Pulse Brew is selected (ON), Cold Brew Lock is set to within 15ºF of set point and Cold Brew Lock disappears from the list of program selections.
