Control Lever
The lever on the front of the machine controls a valve inside of the brew group and it
also controls the pump for brewing. The lever has three positions
:
raised, mid
-
level
and
lowered
.
1.
Raised
: When in the up position
,
the pump
turns on for brewing and the valve
inside the brew group opens and allows water to flow over the coffee.
2.
Mid
-
Level
:
This position is o
nly used for
coffee pre
-
infusion.
Do not leave the
lever in the middle position when
the machine is not in use or
idle.
W
hen
the
lever is
in the middle position
, the pump is
off but the pressure in the brew
group has not been released
,
so do not remove the portafilter.
3.
Lowered
: When the lever is lowered, the
pump
is
off and any water pressure
left on the coffee is released
and deposited into the drip tray through the tube
at
the bottom of the brew group.
Always
set
the lever to the down position
before removing the portafilter from the brew group
.
Main Power Switch
The main power switch is located on the top left side of
the front of the machine.
When turned on
,
the
Brewtus
will automatically start heating up and the water level
control system will
ensure
that the steam boiler is full of water. Note: When the main
power switch is turned on
, the pump may activate
for a few
seconds
,
even if the steam
boiler is full.
Steam B
oiler Switch
When in the
OFF
position
,
the steam boiler will
be inactive
. Only the brew boiler will
heat up. This will allow for a quicker
warm
up for when you only want to brew.
Steam Boiler Light
This
light goes on whenever the heating elem
ent in the steam boiler is on.
It is
perfectly normal for this light to go on and off with or without any discernable pattern
when the machine is in use.
Steam Pressure Gauge
This pressure gauge shows the pressure i
nside the steam boiler. The pressure come
s
set from the factory at
1.3 to 1.4
Bar
s
. This is the proper boiler pressure and there
should be no need to make any adjustments. The needle on the pressure gauge will go
down during steaming
and
quickly rise up as
the steam boiler heating element is
activated.

ine)
T
he
drain line measu
res 57” long from the drain pan. It
has an in
side diameter of 3/4
”
and an outside diameter of
7/8
”. You will want to have an open dr
ain line stand pipe
for it to drop into.
T
he end
of
the drain line
should not
be below the surface of the
water in the stand pipe or it may back up.
The drain pan supplied does not have a hole
it because many customers do not want to hook up the drain line
. If yo
u hook up a
drain line, drill a 1/4
” hole in the center of the drain pan.

Incoming Water Pressure
Rotary Pump Machines
The Br
ewtus IV
-
R
is designed to be used with a water line connection.
The pump will
work fine off any standard
incoming water pressure.
The water line can be dropped into a
water container
,
if you like
,
but you must be careful not to let it run dry as it coul
d
damage the pump.
Before we ship the machines
,
we set the brew pressure to 9
Bar
s
at an
incoming pressure
of 40 PISG.
If the incoming pressure is higher
than 40 PSIG
,
the brew
pressure may have to be adjusted down
;
if it is lower
,
the pressure may have to be
adjusted
up
.
Note: When using the water line
connectio
n
,
we highly recommend that you also hook
up
a
drain line.
Vibration Pump Machines:
When using
a vibration pump
machine with a water line connection
,
we recommend
installing
a pressure reducer.
The machines will run on incoming water
pressure from 5
PSI to 50 PSI.
The incoming water pressure wil
l have
an e
ffect on the brew pressure
. We
set the brewing pressure to be at 9
Bar
s
. To do this
,
we set the OPV to maintain 10
Bar
of
pressure wh
en the backflush disc in place.
If you have higher incoming water pressure
you
,
may have to adjust the brew pres
sure down. See below for instructions.
Note:
T
he
higher the incoming wat
er pressure the more water
will be diverted into the drip tray via
the brew
pressure control (OPV) valve
and
the more you will have to empty the dr
ip tray
if you are not using the drain line connection. When using the water line connection
,
we
highly recommend that you also hook a drain line to guard against
the drip tray
overflowing.

Brew Pressure Adjustments
Rotary Pump
CAUTION: Adj
usting the
pump pressure can be
time consuming and since it is very
close to the electrical connection on the boiler
,
we recommend that all adjustment are
done when the machine is not plugged in.
Note: We recommend that the Rotary pump be set to 9
Bar
s
with the back
flush disc
in place
. T
he OPV should be set to open at 11
Bar
s
.
Adjust
ing
the Pump P
ressure:
Adjust the pump pressure by loosening the lock nut then
turning the adjustment screw. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to raise the pressure
and counter clockw
ise to lower the pressure.
Set
ting
the Brew Pressure:
Turn the adjustment screw counter clockwise to lower the
pressure and clockwise to raise it. Betw
een adjustments
,
lower the lever on the brew
group to release the pressure. Make your adjustment with the machine unplugged and
then plug it in and test your setting. When you have the pressure adjusted
, tighten the
lock whi
le holding the adjustment screw
in place or it may turn and change the setting.
Set
ting
the OPV:
We set this before your machine has shipped. To set the OPV
,
you
will have to run the machine with the backflush disc in place. First
, raise the brew
pressure to 11 Bars
. Then
,
with the pump running
,
turn the
adjustment screw on the OPV
so that it just starts to
let water flow out of the over
flow
tube. It is now set to open at 11
Bars
.

Water Softener
Instructions
(Brewtus
IV
Machines
with Reservoir O
nly
)
The Brewtus
IV
comes with a water softener that will help keep damaging minerals out
of the boilers.
There is nothing that has to be done
at
initial start up
stage
to get the water
softener ready for
use.
See the chart below for recommendation
how to
recharge the water softener. Use the
following r
echarging instructions:
Water softener filter
Water reservoir
a)
Fill a container with water (same amount as the reservoir)
b)
Add
3 tablespoons of salt
to the water container
.
c)
Stir the salt into the water.

15
d)
Insert the water softener filter inside the reservoir.
e)
Drain the water from the reservoir through the water softener filter.
To drain the water from the reservoir:

Place the plastic tube as it is indica
ted.

Suck in the tube until it fills with water.

Press your finger over the inlet from the tube.


Coffee Preparation
What is crema?
Crema is creamy foam that is on top of your espresso and is the essence of what espresso
is all about. The crema houses the multitude of aromas and flavors that are extracted from
t
he beans. The color will vary with
the beans that are used and can
range
from a medium
golden brown to a dark golden brown
Golden Rule
The Golden Rule is a simple formula that if you read it, understand it and follow it you
will be brewing commercial qual
ity espresso in no time.
A double shot of espresso should equal 2 to 2.5 fluid ounces, have approximately 14
grams of ground coffee in the filter basket, and take approximately 25 seconds from
the moment you start the pump until you reac
h the appointed li
quid volume.
A single
shot of espresso should
have
1 to 1.5 fluid ounces
and
approximately 7 grams of
ground coffee in the filter basket and take approximately 20 seconds.
Your best shots are always double shots
,
due to the chemistry involved in extractin
g the
flavors and arom
as from the coffee.
Use the double
-
shot filter basket. L
oosely fill the
filter basket with coffee and tamp with a
pproximately
30 pounds of p
ressure. Put the
portafilter in
to the machine; turn on the brew switch to start the pump and t
ime how long
it takes to dispense 2 to 2.5 ounces of espresso into your cup.
If the coffee comes through to
o
fast, grind your coffee a
little finer and try it again.
If it
comes through too slow, grind your coffee a lit
tle more coarse and try again.
The t
amp
pressure and the coffee volume stay the same, the only thing that changes is your grind
setting.
If yo
u don’t have your own grinder and
you can’t vary how fine o
r coarse the coffee is
ground, you will
have to vary your tamp pressure according to the s
hot timing. If the
water runs through the coffee too fast
,
tamp a little harder. If
the shot is
too slow, tamp a
little lighter.

. Advanced Brewing and Operational Techniques
1.
It will take about 18 min
utes for
the digital display and pressure gau
ge
to
show that both boilers
are up to the set temperature.
I
f you want to brew right
away
,
we recommend doing 3 separate
4
-
ounce
blank
shots
to preheat the
brew group and portafilter. To
pull
a blank shot
,
place your portafilter into the
brew group and ra
ise the control lever to the
UP
position and run 4 ounces of
water through it. If the temperature falls below the set point
,
wait for it to heat
back up and then repeat this procedure.
2.
After the machine has been on for over 35 minutes
,
it is recommended
that
you run 2 ounces of water through the brew group if the machine has been
idle
5 minutes
or more
.
3.
After the programming the machine to brew at a different temperature
,
it may
take
5 to 10
minutes for the boiler temperature to balance out.
4.
The Bre
wtus
has two 1.7
-
liter boilers
,
o
ne for brewing and one for steaming
and dispensing hot water.
When the Brewtus is turned on
,
the steam boiler
will automatically fill with water. The brewing boiler must
first be filled by
lifting the control l
ever and leav
ing it in the
UP
position until the water is
flowing out of the brew group in a steady stream. When the steam boiler is
full
,
the heating element in the steam boiler will be energized and the stea
m
boiler will start to heat up. Once
the steam boiler reache
s operating pressure,
which is around 1.3
Bar
s on the gauge
,
the heating element
in the steam boiler
will turn off
and
the
heating element in the brewing boile
r will turn on.
As the
brew
boiler heats
,
the small LED on the digital display will flash and wil
l
display the current temperature of the boiler. The steam boiler will heat in
around 8 minutes and the bre
w
boiler will heat in
another 8 minutes.

18
11
.
Steaming and Frothing
Put the steam arm above the tray and open the steam knob a little so th
at
water residue
is
removed from the arm. Close the steam knob. Put the steam arm into the liquid you’d like
heated and open the steam knob.
When you finish
steaming or frothing, put the steam arm over the tray and open the knob
to clean inside the steam
arm. Close the knob and wipe the steam arm with a soft
,
damp
cloth.
FROTHING TECHNIQUES
What is frothed milk?
When you froth milk
,
you inject air into it while steaming. The thickness and texture of
the froth will
vary with the technique used.
Frothing
is always done when the milk is at
its coldest. Keep the tip near the surface of the milk
,
so that you will hear a hiss hiss
sound as the air is
being injected into the milk.
The longer you froth the thicker the froth
will be. If you wan
t creamy froth (mic
ro foam)
, froth until you are at around 110
°
F and
th
en steam the rest of the way.
Never steam or froth over 160
°
F. Skim milk will froth
very easy and create a thick froth. The higher the fat content
of the milk,
the more
this
technique
is
necessary and the
creami
er and sweeter the froth will be
.
What is steamed milk?
Steamed milk is heated but not frothed. In other words
,
you don’t inject any air into the
milk while heating it. The key to this is to
keep the tip of the wand submerged
in the
milk
,
so that
it does not let in any air. Never steam or froth over 160
°
F.
12
.
Dispensing Hot Water
Place cup under the hot water outlet; open the water knob and then close
it
when you
have t
he required quantity of water.
Yo
u can use the hot water for pre
-
heating c
ups

Cleaning Brewing Components
Clea
ning the brew head on the lever
-
style machines is necessary for optimal
flavor
a
nd
brewing pleasure. Three different processes
are
involved with cleaning the brew head
:
backflush
ing
with water only, backflush
ing
with cleaner and removing the showe
r screen
for cleaning by hand.
Under normal household conditions
,
we recommend t
hat you
backflush your machine with
water about ever
y
10 to 14 days.
You shoul
d backflush with
cleaner about
12
times a year. It is also recommended that you remove the shower s
creen,
inspect and clean it as well as
the brew group behind the shower screen a
s often
as
necessary. When you remove the brew group
for inspection
,
you will be a
ble to judge
how often you
want to clean it by how dirty it is.
To prepare for a backflush cycle, your machine must be up to brew temperature and
pressure.
Backflushing wi
th
Water Only
:
1.
Place
the single
-
shot filter baske
t into the portafilter and insert
the rubb
er
backflush disc into the
filter basket with the nipple side facing up or use
a
stainless steel blind filter basket.
2.
Raise the control l
ever for 5
-
10 secon
ds or until the pressure builds up. Then
,
move the lever to the down position to release the pressure.
3.
You will notice
a
pressurized stream of water released into the drip tray a moment
after you turn the lever to the
DOWN
position. This is the backpr
essure release, or
the backflush. Check the water in the drip tray. Is it dirty? If so, then repeat the
process until the released water is clean.
Backflush w
ith Cleaner:
You
should
backflush with a detergent
12
times a year
. We recommend using Urnex
Caf
iza
, which delivers excellent results
. Add 1 tablespoon of the espresso machine
cleaner to the blind filer basket/backflush disc an
d follow the procedure above.
It may
take 5 cycles or more to completely clean the machine. Rinse the brew group thoroughly
a
nd backflush 4 times without cleaner to make sure that there is no cleaner left.

Cleaning the Brewing Components by Hand:
Cleaning the brewing surfaces is done as follows:
Note:
The cleaning of the brew head should be done while the machine is co
ld to avoid
burns.
1.
R
emove the shower screen. The shower screen is located at the same place the
portafilter installs
into the machine. Using a flat
-
head screwdriver, wiggle the screen
out. The screen and gasket will come out together.
2.
Separate the screen
from the gasket as the solution can damage plastic and rubber
parts.
Note: Remember which
side of the gasket faces up.
3.
Mix a solution of Urnex Cafiza and very hot water in a container. Use two
tablespoons of the cleaner and fill the container halfway, as
the solution will foam.
4.
Soak the shower screen, shot baskets and portafilter head in the solution for about 10
minutes. Take care not to soak the portafilter handle; as the solution may damage the
plastic.
5.
After a thorough cleaning,
rinse all parts with f
resh clean water.
6.
Reassemble in reverse order.

Cleaning the Housing
Use a non
-
abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth.
Do not forget to disconnect the machine from
the electrical supply before cleaning.
