Sanitation Requirements
This Curtis Generation 3 Unit is Factory Pre-Set and Ready to Go Right from the Box.
Following are the Factory Settings for your Alpha Coffee Brewing System:
• Brew Temperature = 200°F • Warmer Setting on HIGH with Quality Timer off.
• Brew Volume = Set to Vessel Requirement.
System Requirements:
• Water Source: 20 – 90 PSI. Must have a minimum flow rate of ½ GPM (preferred flow rate is 1 gpm).
• Electrical: See attached schematic for standard model or visit www.wilburcurtis.com for your model.
SETUP STEPS
1. The unit should be level (left to right - front to back), on a secure surface.
2. Connect the water line to the water inlet fitting on the rear of the unit. Water volume flow to the machine should be consistent. Use
tubing sized sufficiently to provide a minimum flow rate of one gallon per minute.
NSF International requires the following water connection:
1. A quick disconnect or additional coiled tubing (at least 2x the depth of the unit) is required so that the unit can be moved
for cleaning.
2. This unit must be installed with adequate backflow protection to comply with applicable federal, state and local codes.
3. Water pipe connections and fixtures directly connected to a portable water supply shall be sized, installed and maintained
in accordance with federal, state, and local codes.
3. Connect the unit to electrical outlet with appropriate amperage rating (see serial tag on machine).
4. Once power has been supplied to the unit, flip the toggle switch to the ‘ON’ position (located on the rear of the unit), the water tank
will begin to fill. When the water level in the tank reaches the probe, the heating element(s) will turn on.
5. Water in the heating tank will require approximately a half hour before reaching operating temperature (factory setting of 200°F).
Where applicable, turn on the Universal Control Module (UCM). When the unit reaches operating temperature, it will display
“READY TO BREW”.
