INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY:
The machine is shipped with 1 funnel ass’y and a water inlet fitting.
ACCESSORIES USED WITH THE MACHINE:
Sanitary Style Iced Tea Dispenser.
WATER INLET CONNECTION:
The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) requires the following for an NSF approved hook-up.
This equipment is to be installed to comply with the applicable federal, state, or local plumbing codes having jurisdiction.
In addition:
1. A quick disconnect water connection or enough extra coiled tubing (at least 2x the depth of the unit) so that the machine
can be moved for cleaning underneath.
2. An approved back flow prevention device, such as a double check valve to be installed between the machine and the wa-
ter supply.
The FTC-3, FTC-5, FTC-10 are equipped with 1/4 flare water inlet fitting, located in the back of the unit.
Connect the ¼" dia. Copper waterline to the ¼" flare water inlet fitting of the valve.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: A water shut-off valve and a water filter, preferably a combination charcoal/ phosphate filter, to
remove odors and inhibit lime and scale build up in the machine.
Note: In areas with extremely hard water, a water softener must be installed in order to prevent a malfunctioning of the
equipment and in order not to void the warranty.

INITIAL PRIMING - FILLING OF TANK
NOTE: DO NOT PLUG BREWER INTO POWER OUTLET UNTIL YOU ARE SURE THE HEATER SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION.
Switch must remain in the OFF position until the PRIMING OPERATION has been completed. This procedure protects the Ele-
ment from accidental burnout.
LOCATION OF TOGGLE HEATER SWITCH:
FTC-3, FTC-5, AND FTC-5L, FTC-10; SEE BACK OF TOP CONTROL BOX.
PRIMING PROCEDURE:
• Turn on the water supply and check for leaks at connections.
• Plug power cord into a 15 amp 120 volt grounded outlet.
• Remove sample filter pack from funnel and insert funnel back into machine.
• Position carrier under funnel making sure holes in cover line up with funnel and dilution tube.
• Push RED POWER SWITCH to ON position.
• Push GREEN BREW SWITCH and release. Water should start to flow from the DILUTION TUBE into the CARRIER.
No water will flow from the funnel until halfway through the cycle (about 5 minutes).
PRIMING AND TESTING PROCEDURE BEFORE UNIT HAS REACHED BREWING TEMPERATURE:
• Shut off heater switch [toggle down]. This will bypass the lockout circuit.
• Activate the red power switch.
• Activate the green grew switch for one complete cycle.
• At the end of one brew cycle, discard water from dispenser and reposition under brew funnel.
TOTAL VOLUME OUTPUT CHECK:
• Place empty CARRIER less Cover under funnel.
• Activate GREEN BREW SWITCH.
• At the end of brew cycle (about 10 minutes) water level inside Carrier should be within 2 inches from the top.
• If necessary adjust TIMER. See TIMER ADJUSTMENTS.
TURNING ON HEATING ELEMENTS:
• Flip the Toggle Switch in the back of the brewer to the UP or ON position.
• Allow 20 minutes to reach brewing temperature (195 F).
• When the READY LIGHT comes on, the brewer is ready to brew.

THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT
Two types of Thermostats are used on FTC Brewers:
Type A - Surface mounted thermostat with slotted adjustment stem. Should not be adjusted past 195º F.
Type B - Capillary bulb thermostat with adjustment knob. Should not be adjusted past 203º F.
If field adjustments are needed, INCREASE or DECREASE temperature by GRADUALLY rotating the adjustment stem or
knob CLOCKWISE OR COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
Type B - Thermostats can be fine-tuned as follows:
• Make sure ADJUSTMENT KNOB is turned clockwise to its maximum position.
• Pull off ADJUSTMENT KNOB and locate small adjustment screw.
Turn 1/4 turn COUNTER-CLOCKWISE TO INCREASE temperature and CLOCKWISE TO DECREASE temperature.
• When GREEN BREW LIGHT comes on, take all temperature readings at the spray head with the spray head removed.

600 Series Pinch Tube Faucet
The Pinch Tube Faucet is used with a super-sanitary, disposable bag and tube. The tube is inserted through the fau-
cet; product does not contact the valve. The pinch tube requires not cleaning.
Faucet Assembly Instructions:
1. Assemble faucet body [1] to existing shank [2]
2. Place handle in lock open position [3].
3. Feed the tube from bag [4] through shank [2] and through faucet body [1].
Pull tube completely through faucet so the bag is flush with the shank on the inside of the container.
4. Return handle to closed position [5].
5. Cut excess tube from bag so only 1/2” extends beyond the end of the faucet.
Cleaning Instructions:
Since each bag and tube is discarded after use, this valve requires virtually no dayly cleaning.
However, should cleaning be required, follow these steps:
With handle in lock open position [3]
1. Remove bag and tube assembly from container.
2. Remove entire upper assembly by unscrewing the bonnet [6].
