Setting the Water Level Probes
When scrolling through the "SET-UP" mode, you will notice a setting in the menu that reads,
1. Press "START" to access this menu.
a) Using the hidden adjustment buttons, change the setting from "
MECHANICAL
SWITCH
" to "ELECTRONIC PROBE".
b) Exit the “
SET-UP” mode.
Setting the Post-Mix
The post-mix feature allows the unit to brew a larger cup size than the capacity of the brewer
permits. If a 12-oz cup is required, for example, the brewer can easily dispense 10 oz, but this
will not be enough to fill this larger cup. With this feature enabled and properly set, the unit
will brew 10oz from the brewer as it normally does, and the remaining 2oz of liquid required to
fill this cup will be dispensed by the hot water valve. Both the brewed coffee and hot water will
be mixed together as they are dispensed into the cup, filling the larger cup in one single cycle.
1. To enable and set the post-mix feature, it will be necessary to scroll between two of
the menus in the set-up mode, and make several adjustments to each.
a) Set the coffee water timing (in the “
SET WATER” menu) so that the brewer
dispenses a large cup of coffee.
b) Once done, remember the coffee water timing value because it will be needed to
program the post-mix. For example, the coffee water timing for a large cup on this
unit is 3.5 seconds to get 250 ml (8.5 oz.).
c) Scroll to the “
WATER MAX. BREWER” menu, and press “START”.
d) Using the example above, we know that the maximum coffee water timing on this
unit is 3.5 seconds. This value has to now be entered as the maximum in this menu.
This setting will now limit the water being dispensed into the brewer (from the
coffee valve) to a maximum of 3.5 seconds.
e) It will now be necessary to return to the “SET WATER” menu. Using the example
above, the large cup coffee water timing was set to 3.5 seconds, and the maximum
allowable coffee water timing was also set to 3.5 seconds.
f) At this point, any increase to the large cup water timing will go above the
maximum allowable coffee water timing set, and that extra water will be dispensed
by the hot water valve. For example, if the large cup coffee water timing is now
raised to 4.5 seconds, 3.5 seconds of that will be dispensed by the coffee valve, and
the extra 1.0 second will get dispensed by the hot water valve.
When a cup is now brewed, the brewer cycle will appear to function normally until the end of
the cycle. At that point, coffee from the brewer and hot water from the hot water valve will be
dispensed into the cup at the same time. The hot water will mix with the coffee, resulting in a
larger cup of coffee than the brewer alone is capable of making.
SET WATER LEVEL
PRESS <START>
WARNING: Do not access this menu if the machine is not equipped with
the electronic water level probes.
Note:
The hot water post-
mix will slightly
dilute the coffee
being dispensed by
the brewer. It may
also be necessary to
increase the product
being dispensed
into the brewer to
compensate for this
(only for the cup
being post-mixed).
