%HIRUHRSHUDWLQJ\RXUFRIIHHV\VWHPIRUWKH¿UVWWLPH:
1. Make sure you are using the right type of water.
Call your local water company. Ask them for the water hardness level of the water supplied to
the building where the coffee system will be installed.
If the water hardness level is above four grains per gallon (4gpg):
For CM24TBISAS (tank model), pour only filtered water with a hardness level of 4gpg or
less into the water tank. Do not use distilled water.
For CM24PBISAS (plumbed model), contact a water treatment specialist and have a water
treatment system installed to reduce the water hardness level to 4gpg or less.
IMPORTANT: Dacor ®does not recommend installation of a reverse osmosis filtration system. Reverse
osmosis systems can cause low water pressure. When the water pressure is low, the coffee water
volume (level) can fluctuate and the water pump may make a “hammering” sound.
2. Clean the system completely according to the Cleaning and Maintenance section
(including) System Cleaning, to remove bacteria that may have accumulated during
storage and shipping.
Clean your coffee system regularly according to the chart below:

10 Semi-Automatic Coffee System
Setting Up Your Coffee System
Before Your Coffee System is Installed
Call your local water company. Ask them for the water hardness level of the
water supplied to the building where your coffee system will be installed.
If the water hardness level is above four grains per gallon (4gpg):
y If you are installing model CM24PBISAS, contact a water
treatment specialist and have a water treatment system installed to
reduce the water hardness level to 4gpg or less.
yIf you are installing model CM24TBISAS, pour only filtered water with a
hardness level of 4gpg or less into the water tank. DO NOT use

Use and Care Manual
Operating Instructions
Things to Know Before You Start
For best results, the filter holder (drink dispensing assembly) must
be hot. Keep it attached to the dispensing collar when the coffee
system is heating up.
A small amount of dripping from the drink dispenser is normal after
drinks are dispensed.
This coffee system is designed to make one or two hot drink(s) at a
time.
For proper operation, clean your coffee system regularly according to
the cleaning schedule on page 22.
The coffee system purges water into the drip tray to ensure that the
water used for drink making is hot. Empty out the drip tray when it
starts to get full.

¾
¾
¾
Add Your Own Flair!
With your coffee system you can experiment to come up with all
sorts of coffee drinks that suit your personal preference!
WARNING
To prevent personal injury, keep your hands out of the coffee
bean container.
Some of the metal surfaces behind the front panel are
hot when the power switch is on. Avoid contact with these
surfaces.
Do not pour flavored, un-roasted, partial coffee beans or
ground coffee into the coffee bean container. Doing so may
cause the coffee grinding mechanism to jam. Use flavored
coffee creamers or syrups after making the coffee to flavor it.
You may also make flavored coffee using ground coffee pods
placed inside the dispenser filter instead of ground coffee.
To avoid steam coming out of the unit unexpectedly, rotate
the steam nozzle knob fully counter-clockwise before turning
on the power switch.
•
•
•
•
IMPORTANT
Drink volume and strength will vary due to coffee
type, coffee fineness, grind time, amount of
tamping and the drink volume setting. You may
need to experiment for best results. To adjust the
coffee fineness (grinder adjustment) see page 30.
To adjust the grind time see page 31.

Use and Care Manual
Tamp the ground coffee down in the
filter holder using the tamper provided
with the coffee system. Pack the grounds
together firmly. The more firmly packed
the grounds, the slower the coffee will

How To Heat and Foam Milk
Fill a 12 ounce pitcher 2/3 of the way with milk.
Insert the steam nozzle into the pitcher. Submerge only
the tip of the steam nozzle in the milk.
Slowly open the steam nozzle to maximum as you slowly
move the cup up and down so that the nozzle dips in
and out of the milk. Every fifth dip, submerge the nozzle as far
as possible into the cup. Continue this process until the milk is
hot. This process will take approximately two minutes.
Once the milk is hot, turn the steam nozzle knob to the off
position.
Remove the pitcher and using the handle on the nozzle, push it
back over the drip tray.
Turn the steam knob on
slowly to get excess milk out
of the nozzle. Turn the knob
off.
Enjoy!
