This feature uses the light on the left and right switches to alert the user that a brew cycle has either been initiated or is
in process and to use caution. This feature also has a calibration adjustment on the control board, which allows for the
calibration to continue the light flashing until the coffee completely drains from the brew basket. Note: A new brew cycle
will not be accepted until the switch light stops flashing. This design eliminates double brewing.

Temperature Calibration & Tank System:
The system uses a solid state temperature control to maintain the water temperature in the tank with accuracy. Included
in the system is a water detection probe that prevents premature heater turn on when there is no water present in the
tank. Until water makes contact with the probe, the tank heater will not energize. Additionally, a back-up manual reset
limit control has been incorporated into the system, as well as heater run time protection. These features are designed to
protect the equipment in the event of an operator or component failure. For ease of service, access to the tank is
provided from the top of the unit.
