1) Remove the brewer from the packing material and attach its legs.  
2) Position the brewer on a strong, stable table or counter. Check the  
level front to back and side to side. Adjust the legs to the correct level.  
IMPORTANT:  
THE PERSON INSTALLING THIS APPLIANCE IS RESPONSIBLE  
FOR ENSURING THAT ELECTRIC AND WATER CONNECTIONS  
MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC  
CODE, NATIONAL PLUMBING CODE, AND ANY LOCAL  
ORDINANCES.  
The electric and water hook-up locations are behind the front panel.  
Remove the four screws fastening this panel for access to these  
connections.  
Water Hook-up  
1) The water line may enter through holes on the rear or the bottom of the brewer. Use the right hand opening for water.  
2) Use 3/8" copper or flexible water line to prevent strain. Do not use low temperature plastic tubing. The connection  
to the fill valve is 3/8" flare.  
3) Water line pressure must be from 30 to 70 psi.  
4) Hot (up to 160°F) or cold water may be used. Hot water offers faster recovery between brews.  
5) Install a shut-off valve near the brewer.  
6) Installing a filtering system can improve the taste of brewed coffee and extend the life of the brewer. If your water  
has high calcium (lime), chlorine, or iron content, this is especially important. The filter should be the lime inhibiting  
type if cold water is used. Contact our parts department to select the filter for your conditions.  
Prior authorization must be obtained from Grindmaster Corporation for all warranty claims.

Operation  
CAUTION  
HOT LIQUID HAZARD!  
Water used for brewing coffee is very hot. Use caution when brewing, pouring, or  
transporting coffee. Accidental spills may result in severe burns.  
1)  
RAPS Brewers require the accessory warmer base placed over the pegs on the brew  
shelf before brewing into a shuttle. Plug the base into the receptacle on the side of the  
brewer. The receptacle is only energized when a shuttle is in place.  
2)  
3)  
4)  
5)  
Place an empty, warm shuttle or airpot on the shelf, counter, or accessory base (depending  
on model) under the brew head. Turn on the warmer if a shuttle is used.  
If the shuttle is not warm, allow the warmer to heat the shuttle. Only a short brew of water  
will speed this. A cold shuttle will significantly lower the temperature of the brewed coffee.  
Remove the filter basket and line with a filter paper. Paper size is 13 x 5 for the smaller  
basket, BB1.5, and 14 x 5 for the larger, BB2.0.  
Place ground coffee in the filter basket. Your coffee supplier can help you select the right  
amount of coffee and grind. Coffee brewing experts recommend between 6.5 and 8 ounces  
of coffee per gallon of water for most applications. A full shuttle is 1.4 gallons and a full  
airpot is 0.80 gallon.  
6)  
Slide the basket into the brewer making sure the spout lines up with the top of the shuttle  
or airpot.  
7)  
8)  
Check that the correct batch size is selected. Check the WATER HOT light. If lit, press start.  
Brew time is about 4 minutes for a full shuttle, less for airpots and half batches. After the  
brew, allow the coffee to drip for 1 to 2 minutes.  
CAUTION  
Coffee basket contains very hot water until the drip is completed. Early removal of a  
dripping basket could result in burns.  
9)  
Dump the grounds from the basket and rinse for the next brew. Coffee is ready to serve.  
10)  
The shuttle may be placed on remote warming stations. Use caution when moving a  
full shuttle.

Adjustments  
WARNING  
Electrical Shock Hazard!  
Dangerous electric voltages are present near adjustable components. All adjustments  
should be performed by qualified service personnel only.  
All adjustable components are located under the top cover. To access these parts:  
1)  
2)  
3)  
Shut off the electric line to the brewer or unplug the brewer.  
Remove the single screw fastening the top cover. Remove the top cover.  
Pull forward and lift off the top cover.  
Brew Volume, Brew Timer  
The brew volume of the brewer is controlled by its timer. The batch size is directly proportional to the  
timer setting. The timer adjustment is located under the top cover. On twin brewers, there is one timer  
for each brew head.  
Depending on the model, American Metal Ware offers three types of timer adjustments. Look at the  
instructions for the type of timer you have. There will always be a small variation (+ 5%) in level from  
batch to batch.  
Note: Always adjust bypass before adjusting timer because bypass affects brew rate.  
Before making the timer adjustment, do the following:  
1)  
Brew a batch of water to determine where the level falls. Using a stop watch, determine  
the current brew volume.  
2)  
To determine the desired time setting, use the following formula:  
desired brew volume  
desired brew time  
=
_________________ X current brew tie  
current brew volume  
Adjusting the Timer  
Standard single batch timer: RAP and P models without half  
batch include this timer, (see Figure 1). This timer is adjustable  
from 1 to 8 minutes. After removing the cover, do the following:  
1)  
Use the timer label to make an approximate adjustment  
of the timer.  
Figure 1  
Single Batch Timer  
2)  
After adjusting the timer, brew a batch of water to check  
the volume. Repeat adjustment, tweaking the timer knob  
until the volume is correct.

Two Batch Timer with Knob Adjustment, See Figure 2:  
This timer is adjustable from 15 seconds to 5 minutes.  
Locate the adjustment knobs under the top cover.  
Set this timer by adjusting the knob. The batch selector  
switch picks the adjustment potentiometer which the  
timer will see.

Two Batch Timer  
Two Batch Timer with Counter Adjustment, See Figure 3:  
The two batch size timer may also be used with optional  
counter potentiometer to ease adjustments. Each batch  
size is adjustable from 00 to 99. The timer settings for this  
timer are tabulated on the table below. This chart is for  
making an approximate setting. You may need to click up or  
down to make fine adjustments to volume. Each number  
is about 3 seconds.

Bypass Adjustment  
The bypass valve adjusts the amount of water which  
bypasses coffee grounds and dilutes the final brew  
(see Figure 4). The factory setting is no bypass.  
Bitter coffee results when the amount of ground  
coffee is too small. Therefore, if your coffee is  
brewing too strong, it is better to adjust the bypass  
valve instead of reducing the amount of coffee.  
BYPASS VALVE

To Adjust the Bypass:  
1)  
2)  
Shut off and open brewer as described at the beginning of the adjustments section.  
Locate the bypass valve for the brew head you wish to adjust. Valve is on the right and front  
of the BREW valve.  
3)  
Open the valve (counter clockwise) to the desired setting. Use the table below as a guide:

4)  
Measure the bypass setting:  
a)  
b)  
c)  
d)  
Remove the brew basket.  
Place an empty shuttle without its lid under the spray head.  
Place a measuring cup under the bypass nozzle.  
Press START and brew water for about thirty seconds or until measuring cup is almost  
full. Press STOP.  
Record the amount of water in the bypass measuring cup.  
Add this to the water in the shuttle and record, measure the total amount of water.  
The bypass percent is calculated as:  
e)  
f)  
g)  
Bypass % = (Bypass Volume/Total Volume) X 100  
5)  
Tweak the valve adjustment until the bypass is set as desired.  
Note: The bypass is accurate to + 4%.  
Thermostat Adjustment  
The main thermostat adjusts the water temperature in the tank. Factory setting is 200°F. This  
is the ideal temperature for brewing most coffee. Water should never boil in the tank. If water is  
boiling, adjust the thermostat. There are two types of thermostats available. Mechanical is standard  
and solid state is optional. See the adjustment instructions for the thermostat in your brewer.  
Standard Mechanical Thermostat:  
1)  
2)  
3)  
Shut off power and open cover.  
Locate thermostat mounted on tank. See Figure 5.  
Turn the shaft counter clockwise to decrease temperature,  
opposite to increase temperature.

to front panel.  
3)  
Adjust the knob to the temperature  
desired. This control cannot be set  
above 205°F.  
Figure 6  
Solid State Thermostat  
Optional Brew Thermostat Adjustment: Your brewer may include the optional low temp/no brew  
thermostat, (see Figure 7). This will not allow a brew unless the water is up to temperature. The  
factory setting is 192°F. If you wish to adjust this, do the following:  
1)  
2)  
Shut off power and remove top cover.  
Locate the thermostat mounted on the  
water tank.  
3)  
To increase the set point, turn the shaft  
clockwise. We do not recommend adjusting  
this above 192°F which may cause  
excessive delays between batches.  
4)  
For accurate setting of the thermostat, remove  
the bulb from the brewer and immerse in  
water known to be 190°F. Adjust the  
knob so the thermostat closes at this point.
