Installation:

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD!

Installation of this appliance should be performed by qualified service personnel only. Improper installation could result in electrocution.

See rough-in drawings in this manual for dimensions and locations of electric and water input.

Set-Up/Position

1)Remove the brewer from the packing material and attach its legs.

2)Position the brewer on a strong, stable table or counter. Check the level front to back and side to side. Adjust the legs to the correct level.

IMPORTANT:

THE PERSON INSTALLING THIS APPLIANCE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT ELECTRIC AND WATER CONNECTIONS MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE, NATIONAL PLUMBING CODE, AND ANY LOCAL ORDINANCES.

The electric and water hook-up locations are behind the front panel. Remove the four screws fastening this panel for access to these connections.

Water Hook-up

1)The water line may enter through holes on the rear or the bottom of the brewer. Use the right hand opening for water.

2)Use 3/8" copper or flexible water line to prevent strain. Do not use low temperature plastic tubing. The connection to the fill valve is 3/8" flare.

3)Water line pressure must be from 30 to 70 psi.

4)Hot (up to 160°F) or cold water may be used. Hot water offers faster recovery between brews.

5)Install a shut-off valve near the brewer.

6)Installing a filtering system can improve the taste of brewed coffee and extend the life of the brewer. If your water has high calcium (lime), chlorine, or iron content, this is especially important. The filter should be the lime inhibiting type if cold water is used. Contact our parts department to select the filter for your conditions.

Prior authorization must be obtained from Grindmaster Corporation for all warranty claims.
