INITIAL SET-UP
CAUTION - The brewer must be disconnected from the power source throughout the initial set-up, except when
specified in the instructions.
1. Insert an empty funnel into the funnel rails.
2. Place an empty dispenser under the funnel.
3. Pour three pitchers of tap water into the screened area on top of the brewer. Allow approximately two minutes
between pitchers for water to flow into the tank. While the third pitcher of water is entering the tank, the tank
will fill to capacity and the excess will flow from the sprayhead, out of the funnel, and into the dispenser.
4. Connect the brewer to the power source.
5. When the flow of water from the funnel stops, wait approximately twenty minutes for the water in the tank to
heat to the proper temperature. Some water will drip from the funnel during this time; this is due to expan-
sion and should not occur thereafter.
6. Empty the dispenser and pour one pitcher of tap water into the screened area on top of the brewer.
7. After water has stopped flowing from the funnel, let the water in the tank reheat to the proper tempera-
ture.
8. Empty the dispenser. The brewer is now ready for use in accordance with the coffee brewing instructions
below.
COFFEE BREWING
1. Insert a BUNN ® filter into the funnel.
2. Pour the fresh coffee into the filter and level the bed of grounds by gently shaking.
3. Slide the funnel into the funnel rails.
4. Place an empty dispenser beneath the funnel.
5. Pour one pitcher of tap water into the screened area on top of the brewer.
6. When brewing is completed, simply discard the grounds and filter.
CLEANING
1. The use of a damp cloth rinsed in any mild, non-abrasive, liquid detergent is recommended for cleaning all
surfaces on Bunn-O-Matic equipment.
2. Check and clean the sprayhead. The sprayhead holes must always remain open.
3. With the sprayhead removed, insert the deliming spring (provided) all the way into the sprayhead tube.
When inserted properly, no more than two inches of spring should be visible. Saw back and forth five or six
times.
NOTE – In hard water areas, this may need to be done daily. It will help prevent liming problems in the brewer
and takes less than a minute.
