BX Brewer Manual

The simple answer, really, is that since 1957, America’s
favorite diners, restaurants and cafes have chosen BUNN as
their trusted coeemaker. You see, those diners, restaurants
and cafes realized early on that a cup of coee brewed on a
BUNN is a ne cup of coee.
That’s because for over 50 years, we’ve built our business
with a very simple mission: to create the best coee
experience possible by building the best coeemakers
possible. What we started then, we continue today. We’re
proud to be a company based on honesty, hard work and
the appreciation for great coee, wherever coee is served
(your home included!).
WHY BUNN?
Back then it wasn’t as fancy or complicated as it is today.
You would go to your favorite diner and order coee from a
waitress you knew by name. That’s just how things were. And
no matter what diner or café you were at, the waitress would
always respond the exact same way. ”Coming right up.”
It was a small gesture, but a friendly and comforting one.
Knowing that a great cup of coee, and the conversation
that goes along with it, was only a few moments away. It’s
that warm feeling we hope you have every time you enjoy
coee made by the machine inside this box. The same
feeling that has driven us at BUNN to do our jobs better
and better each day for over 50 years. Because every time
America asks for a great cup of coee, BUNN hopes to be
the ones answering them with “Coming right up.”

message.
TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE BREWER
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE
REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE BY AUTHORIZED
SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK
NOTE:The short power-supply cord provided reduces
the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. If an extension cord is used, its marked electrical
rating must be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the brewer. Make sure the extension cord does not hang
over the edge of a table or counter and that it cannot be
pulled on by children or tripped over. The extension cord
must be a 3-wire cord of the 3-pronged, 3-socketed,
grounding type (including grounding conductor).

LET’S KEEP IT CLEAN

Wash Brew Funnel and glass Carafe after each use. If
you have a dishwasher, go that route.
Important: separate Lid from Carafe to place in
dishwasher, using top shelf only for both glass and Lid.
If you go the wash-by-hand route, use a mild, non-
abrasive dish soap. Be sure to use edge of sponge or
corner of dish towel to clean every nook and cranny.
Wipe the outside of the brewer occasionally, including
area above the Brew Funnel.
If you’re a neat freak, do it more than occasionally.
BASIC CLEANING
Cleaning the Sprayhead Tube removes deposits due to
natural mineral content in your water. The more mineral
content in your water, the more you should clean.
A good rule of thumb is to do it every 3 months,
unless you have very hard water then twice a month
may be necessary.
You’ll need: metal Deliming Tool provided with your
machine, toothpick, dish soap, soft cloth.
Unplug brewer, and let it cool (up to 2 hours).
Remove funnel and unscrew Sprayhead.
Insert all but 2 inches of the Deliming Tool into
Sprayhead Tube.
Slide Deliming Tool in and out of Sprayhead Tube 5-6
times to loosen any deposits.
CLEANING THE SPRAYHEAD TUBE

DEEP CLEANING
Remove Deliming Tool and reinsert the Brew Funnel.
Pour a Carafe of fresh water into brewer.
Place empty Carafe on Warmer Plate and close Lid.
Water will ow into Carafe.
Check Sprayhead holes and clear any deposits with
a toothpick.
Clean Sprayhead with a cloth and dish soap.
Rinse with water.
Empty water from Carafe and place empty Carafe on
Warmer Plate.
Remove Brew Funnel and reinstall Sprayhead.
Reinsert Brew Funnel.
Plug in brewer.
Wait 15 minutes for water in tank to reach brew
temperature. All clean.
Deep clean brewer at least every 3 months.
Frequency depends on mineral content in your water.
Deep cleaning your brewer removes mineral deposits in
your Internal Hot Water Tank and will prolong the life of
your BX Brewer.
You’ll need: 1 Quart (4 cups) of white vinegar, toothpick
and dish soap.
Slide empty Brew Funnel onto the brewer.
Place empty Carafe on brewer.
Open Lid and pour vinegar into brewer.

Close Lid. Empty Carafe when liquid stops owing.

Remove the Brew Funnel and unscrew the
Sprayhead. Check Sprayhead holes and clear any
deposits with toothpick.
Clean Sprayhead with a cloth and dish soap.
Rinse with water.
Pour a Carafe of fresh water into brewer.
Place empty Carafe on Warmer Plate and reinsert
Brew Funnel.
Close Lid (the water will begin to ush out the vinegar
from the Internal Hot Water Tank).
Empty Carafe when water has stopped owing.
Repeat the process of cycling fresh cold water 3 or
more times or until you no longer smell vinegar.
Remove Brew Funnel and reattach Sprayhead.
Replace Brew Funnel and place Carafe on
Warmer Plate. Plug in. Position Tank Switch to the ON
position.
Allow water in tank to reach brewing temperature.
Which should take about 15 minutes.
Then brew away.
