INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

NSF requires that the brewer be able to be moved for cleaning underneath. A flex line or loops of copper tubing will satisfy this requirement. See Figure 2 below.

New-style shown

In some areas, local codes require a backflow preventer (check valve) to be installed on the inlet water line. If a backflow preventer is used, you must install a water hammer arrester in the incoming line, between the backflow preventer and the brewer inlet, as far away from the brewer as space will allow. This will relieve the excessive back pressures that can cause faucet leaks and solenoid malfunctions.

ELECTRICIAN’S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

REFER TO ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS - Page 1 Check the nameplate to determine correct electrical service required for the Brewer to be installed.

IMPORTANT: Before connecting to electricity, make sure automatic brewers are connected to the water supply.

All models (except 8574) are equipped with a cord and plug. They require a 115 - 125 volt 20 amp circuit (50/60 Hz, 2 wire plus ground, with NEMA 5-15R or 5-20R Receptacle).

IMPORTANT: The ground prong of the plug is part of a system designed to protect you from electrical shock in the event of internal damage. Never cut off the ground prong nor twist a blade to fit an existing receptacle. Contact a licensed electrician to install the proper circuit and receptacle.

Model 8574 must be wired by an electrician, and requires a 115/230V 20A circuit (50/60 Hz, 2 hot legs / 1 neutral leg, plus ground). Remove rear panel to gain access to terminal block. Green terminal must be connected to a suitable building ground. Circuit must be capable of 3800 Watts. See figure 3 at right.

IMPORTANT: Wiring must be installed in approved solid or flexible conduit, and must be secured to the brewer with a strain relief (to be provided by the installer).

NOTE: This equipment must be installed to comply with applicable federal, state and local plumbing codes and ordinances.

WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD:

Brewer must be properly grounded to prevent possible shock hazard. DO NOT assume a plumbing line will provide such a ground. Electrical shock will cause death or serious injury.

IMPORTANT: Do not connect brewer to electrical power until the tank is filled with water.

Pour water into the pour-over opening until water flows from the brew head.

IMPORTANT:

Supply power must match nameplate for voltage and phase. Connecting to the wrong voltage will damage the brewer or result in decreased performance. Such damage is not covered by warranty.
