Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and safety.

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the brewer from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
2. Placement: Place the brewer on a stable, level surface. Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation and access.
3. Water Connection: Connect the brewer to a potable cold water supply using a dedicated water line and shut-off valve. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free. It is recommended to use a water filter.
4. Electrical Connection: Plug the brewer into a grounded electrical outlet. Verify that the voltage matches the brewer's requirements (120 Volts or 240 Volts, as applicable).
5. Initial Rinse: Before first use, run several cycles of plain water through the brewer to flush out any manufacturing residues. Do not add coffee during this process.

Operating Instructions

Brewing Coffee

1. Power On: Ensure the brewer is plugged in and the power switch is in the "ON" position. Allow the water to heat to the optimal brewing temperature.
2. Prepare Airpot: Place an empty 1.9L or 2.2L airpot securely on the drip tray beneath the brew basket.
3. Add Filter and Coffee: Insert a paper filter into the brew basket. Add the desired amount of ground coffee into the filter.
4. Initiate Brew Cycle: Press the "START" or "BREW" button. The Visa-Brew indicator lamp will flash, signaling that a brew cycle is in progress.
5. Wait for Completion: Allow the brewing cycle to complete. The Visa-Brew lamp will stop flashing after its adjustable period, indicating it is safer to remove the airpot.
6. Serve: Once brewing is complete, carefully remove the airpot and serve.

Using the Hot Water Faucet

The Newco GXF-P features a Gravity Hot Water Faucet System, allowing you to dispense hot water without interrupting the brewing process or altering the brew volume.

1. Place Container: Position a heat-safe cup or container under the hot water faucet.
2. Dispense Water: Pull the red lever on the hot water faucet to dispense hot water.
3. Close Faucet: Release the lever to stop the flow of hot water. Exercise caution as the water is hot.

Daily Cleaning

• Brew Basket: Remove and wash the brew basket with mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly.

Descaling

Mineral deposits (scale) can build up in the brewer over time, affecting performance. Descale your brewer regularly, depending on water hardness and usage.

• Use a commercial descaling solution designed for coffee brewers, following the product's instructions.
