INSTALLATION

READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT:

To enable the installer to make a quality installation and to minimize installation time, the following suggestions and tests should be done before the actual unit installation is started:

CAUTION:

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

DO NOT plug in or energize this appliance until all Installation Instructions are read and followed. Damage to the Brewer will occur if these instructions are not followed.

CAUTION:

UNSTABLE

EQUIPMENT HAZARD

It is very important for safety and for proper operation that the brewer is level and stable when standing in its final operating position.

NOTE: Water supply inlet line must meet certain minimum criteria to insure successful operation of the brewer. Bloomfield recommends 1/4" copper tubing for installation of less than 12 feet and 3/8" for more than 12 feet from a 1/2" water supply line.

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

Unpack the unit. Inspect all components for completeness and condition. Ensure that all packing materials have been removed from the unit.

Verify that the Spray Head Gasket and Spray Disk are properly installed.

PLUMBER’S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Brewer must be connected to a POTABLE WATER, COLD WATER line. Flush water line before connecting to Brewer.

DO NOT use a saddle valve with a self-piercing tap for the water line connection. Such a tap can become restricted by waterline debris. For systems that must use a saddle tap, shut off the main water supply and drill a 3/16” (minimum) tap for the saddle connection, in order to insure an ample water supply. Remember to flush the line prior to installing the saddle.

The brewer must be installed on a water line with average pressure between 20 PSI and 90 PSI. If your water pressure exceeds 90 PSI at anytime, a pressure regulator must be installed in the water supply line to limit the pressure to not more than 90 PSI in order to avoid damage to lines and solenoid.

A water shut-off valve should be installed on the incoming water line in a convenient location (Use a low restriction type valve, such as a 1/4-turn ball valve, to avoid loss of water flow thru the valve.

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.
