Sanitation Requirements

Your Curtis ADS System is Factory Pre-Set and Ready to Go… Right out of the Carton.

Following are the Factory Settings for your D500GT Airpot Coffee Brewing System:

Brew Temperature = 200°F

Brew Volume = Set to dispensing vessel requirements (2.2 liters)

Generally there will never be a reason to change your ADS programming. However, should you need to make slight adjustments to meet your brewing needs, programming instructions are provided later in this manual.

System Requirements:

Water Source 20 – 90 PSI (Minimum Flow Rate of 1 GPM)

Electrical: See attached schematic for standard model or visit www.wilburcurtis.com for your model. Equipment to be installed to comply with applicable federal, state, or local plumbing/electrical codes having jurisdiction.

SETUP STEPS

The unit should be level (left to right and front to back), located on a solid counter top. Connect a water line from the water filter to the brewer. NOTE: Some type of water filtration device must be used to maintain a trouble-free operation. (In areas with extremely hard water, we suggest that a sedimentary and taste & odor filter be installed.) This will prolong the life of your brewing system and enhance coffee quality.

The National Sanitation Foundation requires the following water connection:

1. A quick disconnect or additional coiled tubing (at least 2x the depth of the unit) so that the machine can be moved for cleaning underneath.

2. In some areas an approved backflow prevention device may be required between the brewer and water supply.

1.A 3/8” NPT x 1/4” Flare elbow has been supplied for water line connection. Use tubing sized sufficiently to provide a minimum of

1.0GPM.

2.Connect the unit to an appropriate electrical power circuit.

3.Turn on the toggle (STANDBY/ON) switch behind the unit. The heating tank will start to fill. When the water level in the tank rises to the correct volume, the heating elements will energize automatically. With ADS Systems there is no danger of element burnout caused by an empty tank.

4.The heating tank will require 20 to 30 minutes to reach operating temperature (200°F) as indicated by the READY-TO-BREW indicator light.

5.Prior to brewing, dispense 12 ounces of hot water through the hot water faucet.

6.Brew a cycle of at least 12 ounces, to purge the water lines of any air that may be trapped after filling.

BREWING INSTRUCTIONS

1.Brewer should be ON (Confirm at rear toggle switch, then press ON/OFF button). Ready-to-Brew should be displayed.

D500GT specifications

The Wilbur Curtis Company D500GT is a state-of-the-art coffee brewing system that is specifically engineered for high-volume commercial environments. As a leader in the coffee equipment industry, Wilbur Curtis has designed the D500GT with advanced technology and user-friendly features to ensure perfect coffee extraction every time.

At the heart of the D500GT is its innovative brewing technology. The unit utilizes a patented brew basket design that allows for optimal coffee-water contact, enhancing flavor extraction and ensuring a rich, consistent brew. This design minimizes channeling, where water passes too quickly through the coffee grounds, leading to weak coffee. The result is a full-bodied flavor profile that coffee lovers appreciate.

One of the standout features of the D500GT is its adjustable brew temperature control. Users can customize the brewing temperature between 190°F to 205°F, enabling them to manipulate brewing conditions based on the specific coffee bean or blend being used. This level of precision not only helps in extracting the best flavors but also allows for greater versatility in coffee offerings.

The D500GT is designed with a user-friendly digital display that provides instant access to brewing parameters and settings. This intuitive interface allows baristas to easily navigate through functions such as brew time, batch count, and temperature settings. Moreover, the programmable features enable users to have consistent results across multiple brews, which is vital in busy commercial settings.

Another key characteristic of the D500GT is its energy efficiency. The unit is equipped with advanced heating technology that minimizes energy consumption while maintaining optimal performance. This not only reduces operational costs for businesses but also aligns with environmentally friendly practices, making it an excellent choice for eco-conscious establishments.

To enhance durability, the D500GT features a stainless steel construction, making it sturdy enough to withstand the rigors of daily use in high-demand environments. The unit also includes a hot water faucet, adding functionality for tea and other hot beverages.

Overall, the Wilbur Curtis D500GT stands out for its combination of advanced brewing technology, customizable settings, user-friendly interface, and rugged design. These features make it an ideal choice for coffee shops, restaurants, and other establishments looking to provide top-quality coffee consistently. With the D500GT, users can expect not only exceptional coffee brewing capabilities but also a machine built to meet the demands of any busy café.
