INSTALLATION
READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
This general information may not apply to all models. Refer to
the owners manual and any technical data sheets for your
specific equipment for additional information.
To enable the installer to make
a quality installation and to
minimize installation time, the
following suggestions and tests
should be done before the
actual unit installation is started:
PREPARATION
Unpack the unit. Inspect all components for completeness and
condition. Ensure that all packing materials have been removed
from the unit.
Verify that the Spray Head Gasket and Spray Disk are properly
installed.
IMPORTANT: The gasket must be installed INSIDE the brew
CAUTION:
ELECTRICAL
DAMAGE
head cup.
DO NOT plug in or energize this
appliance until all Installation
Instructions are read and
followed. Damage to the
Brewer will occur if these
instructions are not followed.
Verify that an adjustable leg is installed at each corner of the
brewer, and, if provided, the rubber foot is installed on each leg.
Set Brewer in its operating location. Level the Brewer. A spirit
level should be placed on the top of the unit, at the edge, as a
guide when making level adjustments.
Level the unit from left to right and front to back by turning the
adjustable feet. Be sure all four feet touch the counter to prevent
tipping.
CAUTION:
UNSTABLE
EQUIPMENT HAZARD
PLUMBER’S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
It is very important for safety
and for proper operation that the
brewer is level and stable when
standing in its final operating
position. Provided adjustable,
non-skid legs must be installed
at each corner of the unit.
Failure to do so will result in
movement of the brewer which
can cause personal Injury and/
or damage to brewer.
Brewer should be connected to a POTABLE WATER, COLD
WATER line. Flush water line before connecting to Brewer.
DO NOT use a saddle valve with a self-piercing tap for the water
line connection. Such a tap can become restricted by waterline
debris. For systems that must use a saddle tap, shut off the main
water supply and drill a 3/16” (minimum) tap for the saddle
connection, in order to insure an ample water supply. Remember
to flush the line prior to installing the saddle.
The brewer must be installed on a water line with average
pressure between 20 PSI and 90 PSI. If your water pressure
exceeds 90 PSI at anytime, a pressure regulator must be
installed in the water supply line to limit the pressure to not more
than 90 PSI in order to avoid damage to lines and solenoid.
NOTE: Water supply inlet line
must meet certain minimum
criteria to insure successful
operation of the brewer.
A water shut-off valve should be installed on the incoming water
line in a convenient location (Use a low restriction type valve,
such as a 1/4-turn ball valve, to avoid loss of water flow thru the
valve.
Bloomfield recommends 1/4"
copper tubing for installation of
less than 12 feet and 3/8" for
more than 12 feet from a 1/2"
water supply line.
The provided water line strainer must be installed in the supply
line, between the shutoff valve and inlet fitting. Note FLOW
arrow marking on strainer body.
2
INSTALLATION (continued)
NSF requires that the brewer be able to be moved for cleaning
underneath. A flex line or loops of copper tubing will satisfy this
requirement. See Figure 2 below.
NOTE: This equipment must be
installed to comply with
applicable federal, state and
local plumbing codes and
ordinances.
WARNING:
SHOCK HAZARD
Brewer must be properly
grounded to prevent possible
shock hazard. DO NOT
assume a plumbing line will
provide such a ground.
Electrical shock will cause death
or serious injury.
Water Supply Installation
In some areas, local codes require a backflow preventer (check
valve) to be installed on the inlet water line. If a backflow
preventer is used, you must install a water hammer arrester in
the incoming line, between the backflow preventer and the
brewer inlet, as far away from the brewer as space will allow.
This will relieve the excessive back pressures that can cause
faucet leaks and solenoid malfunctions.
IMPORTANT:
Supply power must match
nameplate for voltage and
phase. Connecting to the
wrong voltage will damage the
brewer or result in decreased
performance. Such damage is
not covered by warranty.
IMPORTANT:
Tank must be full of water before connecting brewer to electrical
power. Heating elements will be damaged if allowed to operate
without being fully submerged in water. Damage caused by
operating the brewer without water in the tank is NOT COVERED
BY WARRANTY.
IMPORTANT:
The ground prong of the plug is
part of a system designed to
protect you from electrical shock
in the event of internal damage.
Never cut off the ground prong
nor twist a blade to fit an
existing receptacle. Contact a
licensed electrician to install the
proper circuit and receptacle.
ELECTRICIAN’S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
REFER TO ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS provided in the
Owner's Manual, specification sheet, and on the nameplate.
Some models are equipped with a cord and plug. They require:
1. A circuit that meets or exceeds the electrical requirements
2. A properly installed and grounded receptacle configured
to match the brewer plug.
GROUND
PIN
Some models are designed to be connected directly to the
electrical circuit. They require:
1. A circuit that meets or exceeds the electrical requirements
2. Conduit and fittings that meet applicable electrical codes.
3. The ground lug of the brewer must be connected to a suitable
electrical ground.

THEORY OF OPERATION
WATER FLOW
Typical Brew Water Delivery System
POUR-OVER FEATURE
Pouring any amount of cold water into the
pour-over opening and into the basin pan
forces an identical amount of hot water out
of the tank and through the spray head into
the brew chamber.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Pressing BREW button energizes the
solenoid valve, allowing water from an
external water supply to flow into the basin
pan and then into the hot water tank. This
forces an identical amount of hot water out
of the tank and through the spray head into
the brew chamber
The solenoid uses a flow control device so
that flow is consistent between 20 p.s.i. and
90 p.s.i.
Length of time the solenoid is open is
controlled by the timer.
Fig. 5 Water Flow Diagram
7
THEORY OF OPERATION (continued)
HOT WATER FAUCET
Typical Hot Water Faucet System
The faucet water coil is submerged in the hot water
tank and draws heat from the brew water.
Faucet water flows through the bypass side of the
water inlet and is not controlled by the solenoid valve.
The faucet is at supply water pressure any time the
faucet shut-off valve is OPEN.
Hot Water Faucet Flow Diagram

THEORY OF OPERATION (continued)
BREW WATER TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Typical Heating System Electrical Configuration
The heating elements are energized when line
power is applied to the element terminals.
Water temperature is sensed by a thermobulb
inserted into the water tank. This temperature
signal is fed to the thermostat by a capillary tube.
An increase in temperature causes an increase in
pressure in the thermobulb. This will cause the
pressure diaphragm in the thermostat to open the
line power contacts. A decrease in temperature
will similarly cause the pressure diaphragm to
close the contacts.
The setpoint (desired temperature) is adjustable
by turning the thermostat shaft. Turning the shaft
1/8 turn will change the setpoint by approximately
10ºF.
Heat Control Diagram
The element is protected from over-temperature
by a hi-limit thermostat, which breaks line power if
the temperature exceeds 260ºF.
The Ready-To-Brew light glows any time the
thermostat is not calling for heat.
