INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Brewer should be installed on a secure, level, surface capable of fully supporting the weight of the brewer,
including accessories that may be placed on the brewer (such as coffee decanters, filters, etc.).
• A potable water line (cold water) capable of consistently supplying the minimum flow rate within the noted
pressure range is required at the install location.
• A grounded electrical connection to a circuit that meets the electrical specifications of the brewer and is
protected by the appropriate size and type of breaker is required.
CAUTION:
POWER TO BREWER MUST BE OFF BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH PLUMBING INSTALLATION.
The brewer must be rinsed after being connected to the water supply line. Remaining air in the system will be
removed. Otherwise it may lead to malfunctions and noise in the housing. Follow instructions in section
Button functions.
The pressure of the water line must be within 1.5bar – 3bar.
The installation of a water softening filter system is mandatory for the use of TONE equipment. Any violation of
this regulation will lead to a complete loss of any warranty on the complete system.
The brewer has a descaling tracking function available…

Electrical connection
07
WARNING:
The brewer must be disconnected from the power source until specified in INITIAL SET-UP.
CAUTION – Improper electrical installation will damage electronic components. Damage caused by incorrect
electrical connections is not covered by warranty.
An electrician must provide electrical service as specified in conformance with all local, state and federal
electrical codes.
Use a voltmeter to check the voltage and color coding of each conductor at the electrical source.
Ensure power switch on rear of brewer is in the off position. Connect brewer to power source and verify
voltage. If plumbing has been hooked up, brewer is ready for Initial Set-Up. If not, disconnect brewer from
power source.
WARNING: Before servicing or opening this device make sure the brewer is disconnected from power by
pulling its plug. The service technician has to see the pulled plug during the whole service operation.

Brewing
Equip a brewing vessel of your choice with a filter and fill in an appropriate amount of brewing ingredients.
Place the brewing vessel with loaded filter underneath the spray head and select the desired recipe by pushing
the corresponding button. As soon as the program is running the button starts to blink. Be aware that the
water flow may be interrupted during the brewing process once or several times. Wait until the recipe is
processed completely (button stops to blink).
Remove the brewing vessel from the appliance and the TONE TOUCH 03 is ready for use again immediately.
The program can be aborted by pushing the chosen button again during process.
There are four factory standard recipes installed on every TOUCH 03 (from left to right):
1 Volume: 300ml Taste: mild
2 Volume: 300ml Taste: medium
3 Volume: 300ml Taste: bold
4 Volume: 300ml Taste: xbold
The recipes can be exchanged or modified by connecting the TONE Tablet PC to the TOUCH 03.
The TONE Tablet pc is an optionally available device, which can be purchased directly from TONE or any qualified
service partner. It is also possible to order new settings as a part of a service operation.
Trouble shooting
If vibrating noises are heard from the machine housing, there could be air in the system. This can be the case in
particular if the water supply line has been interrupted. In order to remedy the fault, the device must be rinsed.
Follow the instructions in the section Button Functions.
In case of any other issues, please contact your service partner. A replacement of the Blackbox might be
necessary.

Connect your TONETouch03 brewer with the TONE tablet computer as described in the previous section.
Once the installation is complete, switch your TONE Touch 03 ON and it will appear in the list of available TONE
equipment on the left side of the Touch03 tab. The factory pre-set name will be ToneTouch03_XXXXX
(XXXXX=serial number). This can be customised later (s. Service tab).
Click on your device in the list and the standard configuration of the recipe selection buttons will be displayed. You
can either change this configuration by clicking each button individually and chose recipes from the list which will
be explained later. Or you can select a whole set of recipes which you can compose in the Sets tab.
Please remark that your adaptions are made directly on the device. There is no need for a transfer command or a
click on a confirmation checkbox here.

15
The Basic tab provides a tool for a quick and successful recipe creation. There are four pre-set options for coffee
and three for tea, which will result in different flavour intensities of the beverage.
For the coffee recipes, the brewing temperature and the pulsation of the water flow is pre-defined, based on
the experience of TONE coffee experts. You can simply adjust the amount of water (click or click and hold on the
arrows) and choose between cone and flat filters. Make sure you have installed the correct spray head insert for
each filter type. For the cones you need to install the insert with 5 holes, for the flat filter the insert with 18 holes.

Edit recipes
16
Click on the save button and your recipe will appear on the recipe list.
The name of the recipe tells you the strength of the coffee, the amount of water and the applied filter type.
The settings of the tea recipes are slightly different. Choose the water temperature considering the type of tea
which shall be prepared. The colours of the button frames correspond to the tea types. The different tea options
differ regarding the number of pulses and their characteristics.

17
The name of a tea recipe will tell you the strength of the flavour, the amount of water and the brewing
temperature.
See below a list of sample recipes for each pre-set button. When a recipe is no longer needed, you can delete it in
this window by clicking “delete recipe”.
The Set tab is empty when used for the first time. You can compose a set of recipes by clicking on each of the four
square buttons and choosing a recipe from the list.

Once you have made your selection of recipes, click on the button “new set” and give it a meaningful name.
Your set then appears on the set list on the right side of the window. This list will be displayed when you click on
the set bar in the Touch 03 tab. Set which are not needed anymore can be deleted by clicking on “delete set”.

Advanced tab
20
The Advanced tab provides you a very intuitive and comprehensive tool for the creation of new recipes. You can
set the temperature of each extraction phase (bloom, turbulence, development) and define the characteristics of
the water pulses (quantity, flow ratio, duration, interval). Just drag the blue points in the corner of the pulses into
the desired position. The current values will be displayed at the top the graphical input screen.
Dragging vertically will change the flow ratio. Dragging horizontally affects time-correlated features.
First of all, you should set the water target which you would like to produce. This value will not be exceeded.
Varying the bloom or the turbulence phase will adapt the development phase automatically. The development
phase itself is self-adjusting between duration and flow ratio of its pulses. Depending on how detailed you would
like to compose your recipe, the display resolution can be set 1 or 0.1.
