3.4 Water Connection
Connect the brewer to a potable cold water supply using a dedicated shut-off valve. Ensure water pressure is within the recommended range (typically 20-75 psi). Install a water filter system if water quality is a concern, as mineral buildup can affect performance and warranty.
3.5 Initial Rinse
Before first use, perform an initial rinse cycle to flush out any manufacturing residues. Refer to the operating instructions for initiating a brew cycle without coffee.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Powering On
Ensure the brewer is properly connected to power and water. Turn the main power switch to the "ON" position. The unit will begin heating water to the optimal brewing temperature.
4.2 Preparing for Brewing
- Insert a clean brew basket liner into the brew basket.
- Add the desired amount of ground coffee to the brew basket. Ensure coffee is evenly distributed.
- Slide the brew basket securely into its position under the spray head.
- Place an empty coffee server (e.g., a 3-gallon thermal server) beneath the brew basket.
4.3 Initiating a Brew Cycle
Once the water is at temperature (indicated by a ready light or display), press the "BREW" button to start the brewing cycle. The brewer will dispense hot water over the coffee grounds. Do not remove the brew basket or server during the brewing process.
4.4 After Brewing
When the brew cycle is complete, carefully remove the coffee server. Allow the brew basket to cool slightly before removing and discarding the used coffee grounds and liner. Clean the brew basket after each use.
