MACHINE PROGRAMMING
THESE MACHINES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A
FLOWMETER- Please run your Fresh Cup
pod brewer a few times. If the volume dispensed is comparable to the amount expected from
your Button Settings (which are set in the programming menu as described BELOW) and
consistent and the pulsing is acting as expected you are done. However if your dispensed
volume is larger or smaller than expected the easiest way to adjust it is to adjust the “OZ PER
TICK” using the FLOWMETER ADJUST feature in the programming menu.
NOTE: THE MACHINE HAS BEEN CALIBRATED AT THE FACTORY AND HAS BEEN ADJUSTED TO
BREW INTO AN 8 OUNCE CUP WITH APPROX 7 OUNCES OF COFFEE FOR BREW STRENGTHS OF
MILD, REGULAR AND BOLD. NO FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS ARE NECESSARY IF THE FACTORY
DEFAULTS ARE USED.
