Programming (cont.)

To program the following items, press the Large, Right side portion button. (refer to Table 1)

1)

Temperature Scale:

Choose °F or °C

2)Set Water Tank Temperature: Choose between 170°F - 205°F

3)

EnErGy mOdE:

Choose YES or NO

4)

Ltn (Low Temp No Brew):

Choose YES or NO

 

 

• If YES, the brewer will only allow a brew to begin if the water tank

 

 

temperature is within 5°F of set point.

 

 

• If NO, the brewer will brew at any temperature.

5)

DriP time:

Choose from 40% to 80% of brew time.

 

 

This is the amount of time the brewer takes to completely drain the brew

 

 

basket after the brew valve closes. The factory default is 50%, so if the

 

 

brewer is set for a 1.5 gallon brew, without pre-infusion and pulses, the

 

 

brew basket will remain locked for 2 minutes after the brew valve closes.

 

 

If, with coffee, the brew basket drips for longer than 2 minutes, increase

 

 

the setting to 60% which will be 2:24 of drip time. The setting increases by

 

 

5% increments; 12 seconds each.

6)

rto (Set Bypass Ratio):

Choose Std or Grm

 

 

• Choose Std if you are using the standard sprayhead.

 

 

• Choose Grm if you are using the gourmet sprayhead.

Bypass ratio is the last global program parameter to be set. The following are the individual brew portion parameters. Each portion button can have individual brew sequences.

7)

Br time (Brew time):

Choose between 0:01 to 6:00 minutes.

 

 

This time setting controls the brew volume. The brewer brews at a rate of

 

 

1.5 gallons in four minutes (48 ounces per minute / 0.8 ounces per second).

 

 

The Large portion button is factory set to brew 1.5 gallons or 4 minutes of

 

 

brew time. Adjust the brew volume to desired level. One second of brew

 

 

time will change brew volume by 0.8 ounces.

8)

PrE inFuSion:

Choose OFF to 2:00 minutes.

 

 

This is the amount of pre-infusion desired with the batch of coffee. If no

 

 

pre-infusion is desired then set to OFF.

9)

PrE inFuSion oFF:

Choose 0.05 to 2:00 minutes.

 

 

This is the OFF time that allows the brew basket to drain the Pre-infused

 

 

volume of water.

10)

PuLSE br:

Choose OFF to 10

 

 

This will set the number of brew pulses desired. If none are desired, then

 

 

set to OFF.

11)

PuLSE on (Pulse ON time):

Choose 0:05 - 2:00 minutes

 

 

If pulses are set to 10, program the ON time for the pulses. The same ON

 

 

time is used on all pulses.

12)

PuLSE oFF (Pulse OFF time):

Choose 0:05 - 2:00 minutes

 

 

If pulses are set on step 10, then program the OFF time for the pulses. The

 

 

same OFF time is used on all pulses.
