OPERATION (continued)
8.Clock
A.Time – Battery Backup. The E-Max™ has a battery backup system which will maintain the proper time during power failures, or when the brewer is unplugged (even for very prolonged periods of time). Normally there will not be a need to set the time except for Daylight Saving Time changes, or moving the brewer to different time zones.
B.Changing Day and Time: To change time, turn the E-Max™ off. Press the 2nd key twice followed by the 1st key twice to access the time change mode, (i.e. press CANCEL, CANCEL, BREW, BREW). In the time change mode the screen will read “Day:” followed by the current day setting. Use the 6th key to advance the day, or the 5th key to reverse. When day has been properly set, press the 3rd key. The screen will now read “Time:” with the set time on the screen, the hour and am or pm flashing. Use the 5th key to go back or the 6th key to advance the hour, making sure that the am or pm is correct. When the hour and am/pm is correctly set, press the 3rd key, and the screen will read “Time:” with the set time on the screen, minutes flashing. As previously use the 5th or 6th keys to adjust the minutes, and press the 3rd key when complete. The E-Max will return to the off mode. (Changing time can also be done in the regular programming mode. Consult the E-Max™ Programming Manual)
C.After Hours™: Consult the E-Max™ Programming Manual to set the After Hours™ mode. The factory programming has the After Hours™ mode turned OFF. The After Hours™ can be programmed to come on from 1 to 6 hours after the last brew. When the E-Max™ goes into the After Hours™ mode, any warmer plates left on will be turned off (on decanter brewers), the water in the tank will be allowed to drop from the normal brewing temperature and will re heat less frequently – this feature saves energy and extend component life. While in the After Hours mode, the power light will flash continuously. When the BREW switch is pressed the E-Max™ automatically reverts back to normal operation, heating the water to the Precise Temperature for Brewing™ (PTB™), before starting the brew. (The power light will be on continuously and the Brew light will flash until the correct water temperature is reached.)
9.Countdown Quality Timer™: The E-Max™ factory programming has the Countdown Quality Timer™ turned OFF. Consult the E-Max™ Programming Manual to activate the Countdown Quality Timer™ feature:
This feature offers independent Countdown Quality Timers for each warmer plate. The count down timer can be set from 20 to 360 minutes (in 5-minute increments). When a warmer plate is turned on (or, for the main warmer, as soon as a brew is complete,) the countdown time begins. At the end of the selected time there will be two beeps and the warmer plate light will flash continuously until reset. While the light is flashing the heating element for the warmer plate remains on. Push the warmer plate switch to turn the warmer off, and switching it again will re-start the countdown time.
10.Pulse or Pre-Infusion Volume Options: To set these features, refer to E-Max™ Programming Manual, Brew Settings Menu. If a particular brew volume has utilized the pulse or pre-infusion option, that volume will be displayed with an asterisk (*) after the volume. As an example “Volume#2 64oz*” would indicate that the second programmed brew volume has utilized the pulse or pre-infusion program options.
11.Keypadlock™: This feature is OFF in the standard factory settings. To set the feature refer to E-Max™ Programming Manual, Machine Settings Menu. If the Keypadlock™ feature is activated, there will be no response by the brewer when the keys are depressed (except for the beep after a key is depressed). To temporarily “unlock” the keypad, press and hold the CANCEL key for 6 seconds. A beep will be heard indicating the keypad is now “unlocked”, — a brew can be initiated, warmer plates turned on or off, etc. The keypad will remain unlocked until the brew is completed, then automatically return to keypadlock™ mode. If a brew is not initiated 60 seconds after “unlocking”, the system will time out and return to the “locked” position.
