SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

Electric Shock

Hazard

These procedures involve exposed electrical circuits. These procedures are to be performed by qualified technical personnel only.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

Unplug power cord or turn circuit breaker OFF. Remove top panel.

Pull vent tube out of tank lid and insert a thermometer of known accuracy in vent hole. Reconnect brewer to electrical power.

NOTE:

Optimum brewing temperature range is 195ºF to 205ºF (90ºC to 96ºC).

IMPORTANT:

Amechanical thermostat will maintain temperature within ±5ºF. To prevent boiling water in the brewer, thermostat should be adjusted to a maximum temperature equal to the local boiling temperature minus 5ºF.

Fig. 10 Checking and Adjusting Brew Temperature

Place an empty decanter under brew chamber. Energize brewer and pour one decanter (64 oz.) of cold water into pour-over opening. When READY TO BREW light comes on, read temperature displayed on thermometer.

Adjust thermostat by turning shaft; clockwise increases temperature. 1/8 turn = approximately 10ºF.

Refer to Table 1 below for proper brewing temperature based on altitude.

Table 1 Boiling Temperature by Altitude

Upon completion, remove thermometer and reinstall vent tube.
