Sanitation Requirements

NSF International requires the following water connection:

1.  A quick disconnect or additional coiled tubing (at least 2x the depth of the unit) is required so 

that the unit can be moved for cleaning.

2.  This unit must be installed with adequate backflow protection to comply with applicable federal, 

state and local codes.

3.  Water pipe connections and fixtures directly connected to a potable water supply shall be sized, 

installed and maintained in accordance with federal, state, and local codes.

3. Connect the unit to electrical circuit with appropriate amperage rating; refer to serial tag on the machine and 

local/national electrical codes to determine circuit requirements.

4. Once power has been supplied to the unit, flip the toggle switch to the ‘ON’ position (located on the rear of 

the unit), the water tank will begin to fill. When the water level in the tank reaches the probe, the heating 

element(s) will turn on. 

5.  Water in the heating tank will require approximately a half hour before reaching operating temperature (factory 

setting of 200°F). Where applicable, turn on the Universal Control Module (UCM). When the unit reaches 

operating temperature, it will display “READY TO BREW”.

NOTE: A water filtration system must be used to help maintain trouble-free operation. 

Air must be 

purged from the cartridge prior to connection to equipment. 

In areas with extremely hard wa-

ter, we highly recommend the use of a Curtis approved water filter. For our full line of filters, please 

log on to www.wilburcurtis.com.

SETUP STEPS

1.  The unit should be level (left to right - front to back), on a secure surface.  
2.  Connect the water line to the water inlet fitting on the rear of the unit. Water volume flow to the machine 

should be consistent. Use tubing sized sufficiently to provide a minimum flow rate of one gallon per minute.

NOTE: Electrical source should have a minimum 30A internal common trip circuit breaker between 

the brewer and the main supply, which breaks all poles with a contact separation of at least 3 mm.
