ADJUSTMENTS
1. BY-PASS FLOW VALVE ADJUSTMENTS
Depending on the model number, the BC Brewers have been factory set to brew 12, 24 and/or 36 cups of
coffee, with the BY-PASS adjusted for a 20% BY-PASS flow of brewing water for the 36 cup, brew output
only. Since water hardness, the brand of coffee, and the length of brew time are important factors in final
drink taste, it may be necessary to adjust the percentage of BY-PASS. In general, the more ground
coffee used for each brew, the higher the percentage of BY-PASS. Proceed as follows to adjust BY-
PASS:
Place empty carrier without cover under brew funnel.
a. Pull brew funnel out 3 inches, exposing BY-PASS outlet behind funnel.
b. Activate warmer/cycle stop switch. Switch will be lit.
c. Hold measuring cup under BY-PASS outlet and activate Green Brew Switch.
After 15 seconds, push warmer/cycle stop switch to stop cycle.
d. Measure ounces of water in cup and ounces of water in carrier. Divide ounces in cup by total volume
dispensed (add ounces in cup and carrier) to get the BY-PASS ratio.
e. To get more BY-PASS, turn slotted adjustment screw in spray-head adjuster Counter-ClockWise.
Turning adjuster screw clockwise will decrease the BY-PASS flow. See figure below.
NOTE: The BY-PASS valve is activated only when the 36 cup cycle is selected.
The BC301 and BC302 units do not use the BY-PASS when brewing for 12 and 24 cups.
The BC120 and BC240 models only brew for 12 or 24 cups and therefore do not have the BY-PASS.
