Service Manual – TFT FreshTrac™ Coffee Server
FreshTrac™ Combination Liquid
Level Gauge & Coffee Timer
The FreshTrac™ TFT coffee server uses a
lid that has a combination gauge. This lid
contains three indicators: A liquid level mea-
sure, a coffee quality timer, and LED lights.
The FreshTrac™ activates as soon as
brewed coffee starts owing into the server.
At this time the two indicator lights ash green-red-green and the numeric timer starts counting down. Sen-
sors within the lid measure the coffee as it lls the server. The segments of the liquid level gauge will start to
ll in as the volume increases.
WARNING – Servers may be heavy when lled.
Care must be taken when transporting to avoid dropping or spilling.
LED Lights
The two lights (Red & Green) are non-programmable.
1. Coffee is Fresh Mode — Green LED light blinks every 6 seconds to designate coffee is fresh. The Green
LED is set to blink for 1 hour and 50 minutes.
2. Warning Mode – The Green and Red LEDs blink alternately – 6 seconds Green, 6 seconds Red, when
either of these two conditions are true:
a. Digital Numeric Timer is 10 minutes or less from expiration.
b. Volume in server is between 12 and 24 ounces.
3. Timer Expired and/or Dispenser is (nearly) Empty – the Red LED blinks every 6 seconds for 60 minutes
once any of the conditions below are true:

SERVICING THE TFT SERVER
REMOVING THE BASE & BOTTOM COVER
To replace the silicone elbow tting for repair or cleaning:
1. Remove the base assembly. Press down on the slide tab on the back side of the stand
and rotate the server counter clock-wise. Lift the server to separate from the base.
2. Turn the server upside down and pry off the plastic bottom cover. This will reveal the
silicone elbow tting.
3. Remove the wire hose clamps by squeezing in on the wire ears. Slide the clamp from
the soft silicone elbow at the liner drain pipe and the faucet shank and pull off the elbow.
4. Check for leaks and replace with a new part if necessary.
REMOVING THE FAUCET
The faucet will require periodic cleaning and maintenance.
1. Remove the faucet from the body of the server. Take off the faucet by unscrewing the wing nut holding
the faucet body to the shank.
2. Disassemble the faucet. Unscrew the bonnet from the body of the faucet. The handle and the faucet
parts will come off in one piece.
3. Check the silicone seat cup for wear, cracks, or hardening. If okay, then leave the seat cup attached on
the handle/bonnet assembly. Soak then wipe clean. Replace the faucet if damaged.
ASSEMBLY
Assemble the unit by reversing the steps for disassembly. Finger tighten the wing nut onto the faucet. Make sure all
clamps are fastened properly and silicone ttings are in good condition. Before replacing the bottom cover, pour water
into the server and check for leaks around the tting and faucet. If okay, pour out the water and replace the cover and
server base. The server is ready for coffee brewing.
