OPERATION (continued)
WATER HEATER
 
Water temperature is sensed by a thermobulb 
inserted into the water tank. This temperature signal 
is fed to the mechanical thermostat. 
 
The setpoint temperature is adjustable. Heating 
element is energized by the thermostat. 
 
Excessive temperature will trip the hi-limit safety 
switch. The hi-limit will automatically reset when the 
brewer cools. 
 
WATER FLOW
 
AUTOMATIC OPERATION 
 
In COFFEE mode, pressing the BREW switch 
causes the timer to energize the coffee brew 
solenoid valve. This allows water from an external 
water supply to flow into the water tank. 
 
In TEA mode, pressing the BREW switch causes 
the timer to energize the tea brew solenoid valve. 
This allows water from an external water supply to 
flow into the water tank. Additionally, the tea bypass 
solenoid is energized, sending cold dilution water 
from an external source to the dispenser. 
 
Water flowing into the tank forces a like amount of 
heated water out of the tank to perform the brew. 
 
POUR-OVER OPTION 
 
If an external water source is unavailable, one 
decanter of cold water may be poured into the 
pour-over opening to brew coffee. Pour-over is not 
recommended for brewing tea. 
 
AUTOMATIC OPERATION TIMER 
 
The length of time a brew or bypass solenoid is open 
is controlled by the timer. The timer signal is routed 
to either the coffee brew solenoid, or to the tea brew 
and bypass solenoids, according to the position of 
the mode switch. 
 
HOT WATER FAUCET 
 
The faucet water coil is submerged in the hot water 
tank and draws heat from the brew water. Water 
going to the water coil is not controlled by either 
brew solenoid valve. 
 
Hot water is provided at the faucet, at supply water 
pressure, any time the faucet shut-off valve is OPEN.
