Operation of the SCANOMAT Coffee Brewer
The Scanomat coffee and coffee speciality brewers are high technology brewers which by means of a micro
processor controlled brew process dispense various rst class quality coffee drinks.
Water is heated in the thermostatically controlled hot water tank with automatic water inlet. The water tank
has built-in overheater.
By means of an ingredient throw device the various instant products are led from the canisters to a brew chamber
and here water is added. If necessary, the ingredients could be stirred mechanically in the brew chamber before the
drink in question is led to the outlet spout. It is possible to choose between cup or jug dispensing.

Installation
Service and repair is only to be carried out by service engineers educated by Scanomat.
The coffee brewer is to be secured additionally in accordance with regulations.
The coffee brewer must be earth connected (yellow/green conductor).
Note: If the supply cable (power cord) has been damaged please note that only a maintenance engineer
recommended by the manufacturer is to renew it as special tools are required.
Earth conductor: yellow/green
Neutral conductor: blue
Phase: brown
Note: Place the coffee brewer on a stable table, adjust the levelling feet until the brewer is level from front to
back and side to side. Be certain all four levelling feet are in contact with the table to prevent rocking of the
brewer. If there is a danger of the brewer falling down from the table it must be bolted down to the table top
(unscrew the levelling feet and fasten by screwing through the table top).
Note: The coffee brewer require ventilation. Therefore there must be a minimum of 50 mm from the
back side of the brewer to the wall. The grating must be inspected frequently and vacuum-cleaned. If the
installation site/environment is especially dusty there must be vacuum-cleaned each month.
Note: Before connecting the coffee brewer draw off some buckets of water by means of the hose (to clean
the pipes and to avoid a disagreeable taste). This procedure is also recommended when the brewer has not
been operating for some time.
Note: We recommend that the brewer is switched on permanently due to the ventilation system among
others.

Water Connection
When the water supply is being established please make sure that the coffee brewer is not situated on the rear
end of the water supply system to ensure continuous supply of fresh water (see illustration below).
1. Connect the coffee brewer to the cold water line which is equipped with an adjustable check valve
(1/2” external screw thread G+F). Before connecting the brewer draw off some buckets of water
to clean the pipes.
If the water quality is not top-quality we recommend that a Scanomat water lter is mounted.
2. Fasten the hose nipple (C) with screws to the connecting nipple (B) (available in angle and straight
version).
3. The connecting nipple is to be screwed on to the valve at the bottom of the coffee brewer.
4. Dirt lter (E) and nipple (D) are to be mounted.
5. The ange of the hose (C) is to be mounted on the nipples (D) and (B).
6. Turn on the water and make sure that all joints and connections are tight.
Note
If the water has a disagreeable taste when heated we recommend that the heated water is drawn off the
brewer and let the brewer take in water anew.
After holidays or weekends when the brewer has not been in operation for some time the water will loose on
quality therefore we recommend activating the “clean programme”, perhaps a couple of times, in order to
get fresh water. In special cases it could be necessary to empty the water tank completely by means of the
drain hose and then let the brewer take in fresh water. This operation could be repeated if necessary.
