Service Manual – Iced Tea & Combo Brewer
This appliance is designed for commercial use. Any servicing other than cleaning and maintenance
should be performed by an authorized Wilbur Curtis service center.
• Do NOT immerse the unit in water or any other liquid
• To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do NOT open top or front panel. No user serviceable parts
inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.
Your Curtis G3 Tea Brewer is Factory Pre-Set and Ready to Go… Right out of the Carton.
Following are the Factory Settings for your TCT or PTT Iced Tea Brewing System:
• Brew Temperature = 204°F
• Brew Volume = Set to dispensing vessel requirements (2.2 liters)
Generally there will never be a reason to change the G3 programming. However, should you need to make slight adjustments to meet
your brewing needs, programming instructions are provided later in this manual.
System Requirements:
• Water Source 20 – 90 PSI. Minimum ow rate of ½ GPM (preferred ow rate is 1gpm)
• Electrical: See attached schematic for standard model or visit www.wilburcurtis.com for your model.
Equipment to be installed to comply with applicable federal, state, or local plumbing/electrical codes having jurisdiction.
SETUP STEPS
The unit should be level (left to right and front to back), located on a solid counter top. Connect a water line from the water lter to the
brewer. NOTE: Some type of water ltration device must be used to maintain a trouble-free operation. (In areas with extremely hard
water, we suggest that a sedimentary and taste & odor lter be installed.) This will prolong the life of your brewing system and enhance
coffee quality.
1. A 1/4” Flare has been supplied for water line connection. Use tubing sized sufciently to provide ½ GPM (preferred ow rate is 1gpm).
2. Connect the unit to an appropriate electrical power circuit.
3. Turn on the toggle (STANDBY/ON) switch behind the unit. The heating tank will start to ll. When the water level in the tank rises
to the correct volume, the heating element will energize automatically. With G3 tea brewers there is no danger of element burnout
caused by an empty tank.
4. The heating tank will require 20 to 30 minutes to reach operating temperature (204°F) as indicated by the READY-TO-BREW LCD
readout.
5. Important: Run one full brewcycle, to purge the water lines and valves of air. Five seconds of dilution water at the beginning of each
brewcycle is normal pre-programmed operating behavior.
NSF International requires the following water connection:
1. A quick disconnect or additional coiled tubing (at least 2x the depth of the unit) so that the machine can be moved for
cleaning underneath.
2. Thisequipmentistobeinstalledwithadequatebackowprotectiontocomplywithapplicablefederal,stateandlocal

• Keep hands and other items away from hot parts of unit during operation.
• Never clean with scouring powders, bleach or harsh implements.
IMPORTANT: After
setup, run a FULL
brewcycle. Place a tea
container to catch both
hot water from the brewcone and
dilution water from spout on the front
cover.
