energy. After 26 hours, the brewer will shut down completely. When either of these two
sleep modes occur, the Pod Holder Release Button will no longer be glowing red. To
wake the brewer up, press either the Coffee or Tea Brew button, or eject the pod holder.
The light and heater will come back on.
• BREW CANCEL - If it is necessary to cancel a brew cycle, this can be done by pressing
either the Coffee or Tea button again. Although some water may drip out, the pump will
immediately stop forcing water through the pod holder. Always wait for hot liquid to stop
before removing the pod holder.
CAUTION: When a brew cycle is canceled, it will not finish dispensing it’s previous brew
volume when the button is pressed again. The memory is reset and the brewer will
dispense a full volume as indicated by the Volume Control Lever. This could cause a
container to overflow if it is not emptied prior to pressing the button a second time.
• MIN & MAX MARKINGS-Thesideofthewaterreservoirbearsthemarkings“MIN”and

WATER INLET SET-UP
(MCA ONLY)
The My Café®Automatic Pod Brewer is designed for businesses and office
applications, where a pressurized water system can be utilized to feed the brewer with
a constant water supply. If the machine will not be used with plumbing, proceed to the
“Pour-Over”Sectiononpage9.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the brewer is to be used as a pour-over, the cap must be installed
on the water inlet fitting, located in the rear of the brewer. (See FIG. 3) Otherwise,
prepare the existing water line as defined in “Plumbing Requirements” and then follow
the instructions provided below.
PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
If used as an automatic, this brewer must be connected to a cold water system with
operating pressure between 20 and 90 psi (138 and 620 kPa) from a 1/2” or larger
supply line. A shut-off valve should be installed in the line before the brewer. Install a
regulator in the line when pressure is greater than 90 psi (620 kPa) to reduce it to 50
psi(345kPa).Thewaterinletttingonthestraineris1/4”are.Verify that Strainer
and Orifice are installed.(Fig. 3)
NOTE: Bunn-O-Matic recommends 1/4” copper tubing for installations of less than
25 feet and 3/8” for more than 25 feet from the 1/2” water supply line. A tight coil of
copper tubing in the water line will facilitate moving the brewer to clean the countertop.
Bunn-O-Matic does not recommend the use of a saddle valve to install the brewer.
The size and shape of the hole made in the supply line by this type of device may
restrict water flow.
This equipment must be installed to comply with the International Plumbing Code of the
International Code Council and the Food Code Manual of the Food and Drug Administra-
tion (FDA). For models installed outside the U.S.A., you must comply with the applicable
Plumbing/Sanitation Code for your area.

ROUTINE CLEANING
Before beginning any cleaning procedure, unplug the brewer to
avoid the accidental start of a brew cycle.
Clean the pod holder, drip tray and drip tray grate after each
use, using a damp cloth and mild detergent and rinse. With the pod
holder and drip tray removed, use a damp cloth with mild detergent
to wipe the area below the pod holder and into the drip tray area.
Occasionally, wipe the outside of the brewer with a damp cloth.
(The reservoir, slide lid, pod holder, drip tray and drip tray grate are
dishwasher safe.)
PERIODIC CLEANING/DESCALING
(Recommended At Least Once a Month.)
Periodically, you should clean and descale the brewer to clear any mineral deposits
that may have accumulated due to impurities in the water source. If these deposits are not
removed, they can impair the operation of the brewer and reduce the product life.
There are several products available specifically for descaling. We recommend using
URNEX®Activated Descaler or JavaClean2 Cleaner and Descaler, available on our web
site: www.bunn.com. (White vinegar can be used to descale if a descaling product is not
available.)
Follow the directions as printed on the manufacturer’s package.
1) Fill the reservoir with descaling product as described by the manufacturer’s directions,
or 32 oz. (946 ml) of white vinegar. Do not add powder mix
directly to the reservoir. Descaling product must be mixed
into a solution before it is added to the reservoir.
2) Place an empty pod holder into the brewer. Be sure the holder
is locked into place, and set the VOLUME CONTROL SLIDE
LEVER to the maximum position.
3) Place an empty container or bowl on the drip tray grate that
will hold at least 14 oz. (414 ml) of liquid, and press the
COFFEE BREW BUTTON to start a brew cycle.
4) Once the brew cycle has finished, empty the container and
set it back onto the drip tray grate. Press the COFFEE BREW
BUTTON again to start a second brew cycle.
5) Once the brew cycle has finished, empty the container and
the remaining solution, or vinegar from the reservoir. Remove
the pod holder; clean the reservoir and pod holder thoroughly
using a mild detergent, then rinse.
NOTE: There is now descaling solution in the internal tank. Follow
the manufacturer’s directions if the solution must be left in the tank
for any period of time. For vinegar, allow the solution to sit for at
least two, but no more than four hours.
6) Fillthereservoirtothe“MAX”linewithfreshcleancoldwater
and place the pod holder back into the brewer.
7) Place the empty container back onto the drip tray grate and
press the COFFEE BREW BUTTON to begin a brew cycle.

8) When the cycle has finished, empty the container. Repeat step 7 at least two more
times to remove the solution from the tank.
9) Clean the pod holder with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly.
10) Proceedtothe“CleaningTheSprayhead/Seal”section.
CLEANING THE SPRAYHEAD/SEAL
1) PressthePowerSwitchintotheoff“O”position.
2) Unplug the brewer and allow it to cool down. (Minimum of 1 hour.)
3) After the unit has been allowed to cool, remove the pod
holder and set aside.
4) Using your fingers, rotate the sprayhead/seal assembly
until the sprayhead and seal are removed.
NOTE: If the sprayhead and seal are separated, they must be
reassembled as they were when removed from the brewer.
CAUTION: Improper reassembly could result in personal injury
from scalding water.
NOTE: See “Assembling Sprayhead/Seal” (Page 12) &
“Inspecting Sprayhead Seal” (Page 13) for more information.
5) Clean the sprayhead and seal with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly.
6) Using your fingers, rotate the sprayhead/seal assembly counter-clockwise until it is
finger tight.
7) Replace the pod holder.
8) Plug in the brewer and press the Power Switch to restore power to the brewer.
ASSEMBLING THE SPRAYHEAD/SEAL
If the sprayhead and seal are separated during removal or cleaning, they must be
reassembled properly.
1) Identify the top of the seal. The top of the seal that seats
against the roof of the sprayhead cavity has a ridge that can
be felt by running your fingers across the surface of the seal.
The bottom is smooth.
2) Identify the top of the sprayhead. The top of the sprayhead
has a star pattern and a threaded hole where the sprayhead
attaches to the brewer.
3) While carefully stretching the seal, guide the sprayhead into
the channel of the seal. Make sure it is completely in the
channel.
When properly assembled, the sprayhead will slide easily into
the channel of the seal and will not cause any buckles in the surface
of the seal. If the sprayhead seems to be difficult to seat, and you
must stretch the seal more than a slight tug, the assembly is not
together correctly.
CAUTION: Improper reassembly could result in personal injury
from scalding water.

INSPECTING THE SPRAYHEAD SEAL
When disassembling your brewer for cleaning, inspect the sprayhead seal for cracks,
tears and holes. Although the seal should last for an extended period of time, damage can
occur through handling.
CAUTION: The seal confines the hot liquid to the pod holder. Replace the seal if it becomes
damaged. Parts are available at www.bunn.com.
CLEANING THE POD HOLDER
To prevent residue build up, it is a good idea to periodically disassemble the pod
holder/screen assembly and clean it with a mild detergent.
1) Press and hold the POD RELEASE BUTTON while sliding the
pod holder out.
2) Flip the POD HOLDER upside down and place the holder
cavity over the palm of your hand.
3) Using a small object, press the tab of the POD HOLDER
INSERT through the hole in the bottom of the pod holder to
remove.
4) Clean the screen and holder using a mild detergent and rinse. (Dishwasher Safe)
5) Press the insert back through the hole in the bottom of the POD HOLDER.
CYCLING THE BREWER
If the brewer has not been used for an extended period of time, it is a good idea to
cycle your brewer before brewing a serving of coffee or tea.
1) Remove the reservoir and pod holder from the brewer, clean with a mild detergent and
rinse.
2) Refill the reservoir to the maximum line.
3) Insert an empty pod holder into the brewer.
4) Set the volume control lever to the maximum setting.
5) Place a container on the drip tray grate that will hold at least 14 oz. (414 ml)
6) Press the coffee brew button.
7) When the brew cycle has ended and water drip out has stopped, carefully remove the
pod holder and remove any excess water.
CAUTION: Water is hot!
You are now ready to brew.
STORING THE BREWER
Unplug the brewer and wait for it to cool. If your Pod brewer has been used, it must be
stored above 32°F (0°C) to prevent damage to the internal water tank. Empty and dry the
water reservoir before storing.
NOTE: Water will remain in the internal tank. If stored for an extended period of time, refer
to “Cycling The Brewer” section before using.

NOTE: Although the pulse brew process can
be used for coffee or tea, it is designed to
brew tea. Because the process of brewing
tea is different than coffee, the brewer works
differently when the TEA BREW BUTTON is
used. An “On-Off-On” cycle is used to steep the
tea and provide the maximum flavor extraction.
This is normal.

of the brewer. If a problem persists, contact
Customer Service. (Refer to page 18 for
customer assistance.)

SITUATION EXPLANATION
The BUNN®(POD HOLDER
RELEASE BUTTON) indicator is
not on all of the time.
The HEATING INDICATOR
comes on when the COFFEE or
TEA button is pressed.
The HEATING INDICATOR
comes on during a brew cycle.
When the BUNN®button (Also known as the
POD HOLDER RELEASE BUTTON) is lit, this
indicates that the power to the machine is on.
No action is required. The BUNN®Pod
brewer is ready to brew.
When the brewer enters a sleep mode the POD
HOLDER BUTTON will not be glowing.
Pressing any button or the POD HOLDER
RELEASE BUTTON will wake up the brewer.
NOTE: If the brewer does not operate, refer to
the first situation listed in the beginning of this
troubleshooting section, on page 14.
The HEATING INDICATOR will glow when the
tank is bringing water up to brew temperature.
Wait for the HEATING INDICATOR to go out.
When the Indicator has gone out, a brew
cycle can be started.
The water entering the internal tank is being
heated for the next brew cycle.
No action is required. As the heated water is
being emptied to brew a serving, new water
enters the internal tank. The brewer senses
this new water and activates the tank heater
to heat the water for the next brew cycle.
The indicator coming on during a brew cycle
is normal.
