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.
