- NO extension cord is used.
1. Make sure that the power switch in the back of the unit is in the OFF position before plugging in the unit;
2. Locate the unit’s 6 feet power cord and plug it into its own grounded electrical outlet;
3. Reach to the back of the brewer and toggle the power switch to the ON position. The front lights will turn

3.8 Water temperature
This equipment has a coffee brewing setpoint of 200 °F water temperature to offer a consistent
beverage quality to the users. There is a +/- 2 °F tolerance.
This is an average and is not what you would get from a manual temperature measure. The
actualwatertemperatureuctuatesbecausecoldwaterisaddedtothetankafterevery
beverage delivery and time is needed to heat the new incoming water up to setpoint.
You can also take the water’s brewing temperature manually by ordering a cup of hot water
and measuring its temperature with a thermometer. There may be a slight difference from the
tank reading. This is normal.
If you are experiencing large temperature differences, verify that your tank is clean and not
obstructed by mineral deposits and scale.
Unit safety measures
In the event of a temperature probe failure, the tank may start to boil. This will cause it to
overowintothe“OverowCup”andwillautomaticallyshutitoff.
* Temperature can be set by user by accessing in the setup main menu.
