Initial SET-UP TB3Q/TB3Q-LP/TB6Q only | Bunn TB3-LP instruction

Brew water temperature is factory set at 205° F (96.1° C) Areas of high altitude will require lowering this tempera- ture to prevent boiling. This chart should be used as a guide when readjusting the brew water temperature.

INITIAL SET-UP (TB3Q/TB3Q-LP/TB6Q ONLY)

CAUTION - The brewer must be disconnected from the power source throughout the Initial Set-Up, except when specified in the instructions.

1.Remove the top cover from the brewer.

2.Rotate the control thermostat knob fully counterclockwise to the "OFF" position and replace the top lid.

3.Insert an empty funnel into the funnel rails. On TB6Q models, rotate the funnel handle left or right to align the funnel discharge over the reservoir.

4.Place an empty dispenser on the brewer base. Be prepared to empty the dispenser during these initial steps. Be sure funnel discharge is directly above the dispenser.

5.Plug in the brewer, place the ON/OFF switch in the "ON" position ("SWEET" or "UNSWEET" position for models with a sweetener option) (LEFT or RIGHT on TB6Q), and momentarily press the START switch. Water will flow into the tank and dispenser for three and one-half minutes. Empty the dispenser when this first cycle stops and press the START switch again. Empty the dispenser when the second cycle stops and press the START switch once more. During the third cycle, the tank will fill to its capacity and the excess will flow from the funnel into the dispenser. Empty the dispenser when this third cycle stops.

6.Begin another brew cycle and measure the total water volume from the dispenser. It should be approximately 3 gallons and 12 ounces. (396 ounces). CONCENTRATE MACHINES WILL YIELD ONLY 76 OZ.

7.If not, adjust the timer as required. See Adjusting Brew Volumes.

8.Unplug the brewer, remove the top lid, rotate the control thermostat knob fully clockwise to the "ON" position and replace the top lid.

9.Empty the dispenser.

10.Plug in the brewer and wait for the water in the tank to heat to brewing temperature (approximately 20 minutes). Some water will drip from the funnel during this time; this is due to expansion and should not occur thereafter.

11.Begin another brew cycle. Empty the reservoir after water has stopped flowing from the funnel.

12.Allow the water in the tank to heat to the proper tem-

perature.

13. The brewer is now ready to brew approximately 3 gallons of freshly brewed room temperature tea from three to five ounces of loose leaves.
