START UP PROCEDURE
WATER CONNECTION
The National Sanitation Foundation requires the following for an NSF approved water hook-up:
• A quick disconnect water connection or enough coiled tubing so that the machine can be moved for cleaning underneath.
• An approved backflow prevention device, such as a double check valve to be installed between the machine and water supply.
A 1/4” male flare adapter is provided. Installation to a water filter system is recommended to prevent lime and scale build-up in the machine.
• Water pipe connections and fixtures directly connected to portable water supply shall be sized, installed and maintained in accordance with
federal, state and local codes.
• Flush the water line to purge any debris from the supply line.
Connect a 1/4” pressurized water line to the 1/4” male connection
(on rear of brewer) and turn the water supply on.
a) Minimum water pressure to the machine: 30 psi
b) Maximum water pressure to the machine: 80 psi

ADJUSTMENTS (cont.):
Refer to B-Series Programming Chart on page 5.
Pour-Over Mode
Left display controls this.
• The display will read “P-O” (pour-over).
• Press “BREW” button to proceed to the next setting.
• Press up or down arrow to change to “YES” or “NO”. Plumbed-in units must be set to “NO”.
• Press “BREW” button to accept and exit menu.
SETTING BREW VOLUME:
• Remove brew basket & spray head.
• Make sure “READY” light is on.
• Place empty server under exit nozzle to capture water.
• Press “BREW” button to fill water lines.
• Press “BREW” button again after approximately 10 seconds to stop water flow.
• Empty server then place under exit nozzle.
• Press-and-hold “BREW” button for 5 seconds until display reads “Pro”, then release.
• Press-and-release “BREW” button to initiate brew.
• The brew valve opens and the time begins to count up on display.
• Water will flow into decanter.
• When water level reaches desired amount, press-and-release “BREW” button again.
• Time value will flash in the display.
• Press-and-release “BREW” button within 10 seconds to set time.
• Reinstall spray head and brew basket.
• Repeat process for each brew head.
BREWING PROCEDURE:
• Place a new paper filter in the brew basket.
• Put desired amount of ground coffee in brew basket. (3.5 oz (100 grams) maximum)
• Place decanter or airpot under brew basket.
• Be sure lower warmer is on. (if available)
• Press “BREW” button to start brewing.
The “READY” light will flash for the entire brew cycle.
Water will dispense for the set time of brew, and light will flash after water is dispensed to denote “drip time”.
(ex.. Time set for 2:30, water is dispensed for 2:30, and light continues to flash for another 1:15 for total brew cycle of 3:45.)
Do not remove the brew basket while the “READY” light is blinking.
A stop function is added to the “BREW” switch. Pressing the “BREW” switch during a brew cycle will stop the brew. Coffee will need to be
emptied from brew basket and brew procedure will need to be started again.
After a brew cycle, the tank must reheat and the “READY” light must be lit before starting the next cycle. Reheat (recovery) time is dependent
on voltage applied and inlet water temperature.
Approximate reheat times for a 64 oz decanter are as follows:
120 Volt supply: 3-4 minutes; 120/208 Volt supply: 30-90 seconds; 120/240 Volt supply: 0 – 30 seconds
PULSE BREWING MODE:
• When mode is “ON” (number of pulses, pulse on, and pulse off time), and a brew cycle is initiated, water is dispensed for the ON time then
stops for the OFF time to define one pulse. This repeats for number of pulses programmed. After pulsing is finished, the water continues to
dispense for the remaining set time. During the pulse-off time, the water infuses the coffee and the bed rises to allow for better extraction.
• When mode is “OFF” and a brew cycle is initiated, water is dispensed continually for the entire set time without any delay.
ENERGY SAVINGS MODE (WARMER SHUT-OFF):
(ONLY FOR MODELS WITH WARMERS)
When set time has elapsed after a brew cycle, the lights above the warmer switches will flash and the warmers will automatically turn off. To
stop lights from flashing, press one of the warmer switches. To turn warmers back on, press corresponding warmer switch. The timer will reset
when a new brew cycle is initiated.
Refer to Adjustments section to adjust time values or simply disable mode. Time values may be adjusted from OFF to 10 minutes to 240
minutes in increments of 10 minutes.

LOW TEMP/NO BREW MODE:
When set to “ON”, a brew cycle cannot be initiated until tank is hot and “READY” light is ON.
When set to “OFF”, a brew cycle may be initiated at any time.
POUR-OVER MODE:
Note: Not available on B-6, B-DAP, and B-DGP (twin) models.
Brewers are capable of operating without a pressurized water source.
If there is no pressurized water source, brewer can be set-up as a pour-over.
1. If no water is in the tank to begin with, pour about three decanters of fresh water into the basin
(Fig. D). A small amount of water should remain in the basin.
2. If tank already has water, pour fresh water into basin (Fig D) until a small amount is in the basin
and no longer drains into the tank.
3. Place server under the EMPTY brew basket.
4. Turn power on to machine
5. Go into Settings Mode and change “P-O” to “YES”.
6. Display will read “P-O”. (Fig C)
Figure C
Figure D
7. Wait until Ready light illuminates.
8. Press-and-release Brew button to initiate a brew cycle.
9. Water should stop flowing before READY light stops flashing to create a “short pot”.
10. After tank water recovers and READY light illuminates, brewer is ready to brew coffee. See Brew Procedure.
If brewer is in operation (connected to a pressurized water source) and water is shut off for four minutes, display will read “P-O” (Fig C) and
brewer can be used as a pour-over:
1. Place server under the EMPTY brew basket.
2. Wait until Ready light illuminates.
3. Press-and-release Brew button to initiate a brew cycle.
4. Water should stop flowing before READY light stops flashing to create a “short pot”.
5. After tank water recovers and READY light illuminates, brewer is ready to brew coffee. See Brew Procedure.
If water pressure problem is resolved, simply press Off then On.
Brew Procedure while brewer is in pour over “P-O” mode:
1. Wait until tank water heats up and READY light is on.
2. Place brew basket in place with ground coffee inside filter.
3. Pour a full (64oz) maximum container of fresh water into basin at top/front of brewer. (Fig D)
4. Place container under brew basket.
5. Press-and-release “BREW” button to initiate brew cycle.
COUNTER:
The brewer is equipped with a counter that displays the total number of brew cycles for each dispense head. After turning the brewer on, the
number will scroll across the display two times and then clears.
CLEANING CABINET
•
The outside of the brewer can be cleaned with a damp cloth, a household dusting spray or a stainless steel cleaner. Do not use an
abrasive such as Scotchbrite or Brillo pads. These may mar the finish.
•
Wipe the underside of the cabinet hood with a clean cloth. Be especially careful when using soap or detergent around the sprayhead.
Any soap left on the deflector may impart an unpleasant taste to the first brews.
CLEANING WARMERS
The warmer plates are easy to clean and will maintain its appearance longer if cleaned regularly. Coffee stains can be wiped off with a damp
cloth. Use detergent or sanitizer for heavy deposits, but refrain from using abrasives.
CLEANING BREW BASKET, AIRPOTS AND DECANTERS
Use commercial grade urn cleaner (as directed by manufacturer) and rinse thoroughly.
