Curtis PC-3GT User manual

1. Connect a water line from your facility to the 1/4” flare water inlet fitting of the valve, behind the
machine. Water volume going to the machine should be stable. Use tubing sized sufficiently to
provide a minimum flow rate of one gallon per minute.
2. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet rated at 20A.
3. Switch on the toggle switch, behind the unit, that runs power to the components in the machine.
The lights (display window and row of buttons) on the front door will activate and the heating
tank will start to fill.
4. Water in the heating tank will require about one hour to reach operating temperature (factory
setting of 190°F). At this time the LCD will display “READY TO DISPENSE”.
5. Remove and fill the canisters with powdered cappuccino product.

Sanitation Requirements
Your Curtis ADS System is Factory Pre-Set and Ready to Go, Right from the Carton.
Following are the Factory Settings for your Primo Cappuccino Beverage System:
• Tank Temperature = 190°F
• Flavor Controls= Set at 45%
• Dispensing Mode Set for Manual Dispensing
Generally there will never be a reason to change your ADS programming. However, should you
need to make slight adjustments to meet your dispensing needs, programming instructions are
provided later in this manual.
System Requirements:
• Water Source 20 – 90 PSI (Minimum Flow Rate of 1 GPM)
• Electrical: See attached schematic for standard model or visit www.wilburcurtis.com for
your model.
Equipment to be installed to comply with applicable federal, state, or local plumbing/electrical codes
having jurisdiction.
SETUP STEPS
The unit should be level (left to right and front to back), located on a solid counter top.
Connect a water line from the water filter to the brewer.
NOTE: Some type of water filtration device must be used to maintain a trouble-free operation. (In
areas with extremely hard water, we suggest that a sedimentary and taste & odor filter be installed.)
This will prolong the life of your dispensing system and enhance cappuccino product quality.
The National Sanitation Foundation requires the following water connection:
1. A quick disconnect or additional coiled tubing (at least 2x the depth of the unit) so that the
machine can be moved for cleaning underneath.
2. In some areas an approved backflow prevention device may be required between the
brewer and the water supply.
