ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

CAUTION - The trifecta must be disconnected from the power source until specified in Initial Set-Up.

Refer to Data Plate on the trifecta and local/national electrical codes to determine circuit requirements.

how it works

120 VOLT Model

Note: This electrical service consists of 2 current carrying conductors (L1 and Neutral) and a separate conductor for chassis ground.

Electrical Hook-Up
CAUTION – Improper electrical installation will damage electronic components.

  • An electrician must provide electrical service as specified.
  • Using a voltmeter, check the voltage and color coding of each conductor at the electrical source.
  • If plumbing is to be hooked up later be sure the trifecta is disconnected from the power source. If plumbing has been hooked up, the trifecta is ready for Initial Set-Up.

PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

The trifecta must be connected to a cold water system with operating pressure between 20 and 90 psi (138 and 620 kPa) from a 1/2" or larger supply line. A shut-off valve should be installed in the line before the trifecta. If water pressure is above 90 psi (620 kPa), install a regulator in the line, to reduce it to 50 psi (345 kPa). The water inlet fitting on the trifecta is ¼? flare fitting. BUNN does not recommend the use of a reverse-osmosis or deionized water supply.

NOTE - BUNN recommends ¼" copper tubing for installations of less than 25 feet and 3/8" for more than 25 feet from the ½" water supply line. A suggestion would be to leave a tight coil of tubing in the water line if you will need to move the trifecta when cleaning the counter top. BUNN does not recommend the use of a saddle valve to install the trifecta. The size and shape of the hole made in the supply line by this type of device may restrict water flow.

A water filtration system must be installed for a trifecta that is used in poor water quality areas.

As directed in the International Plumbing Code of the International Code Council and the Food Code Manual of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), this equipment must be installed with adequate backflow prevention to comply with federal, state and local codes. For models installed outside the U.S.A., you must comply with the applicable Plumbing /Sanitation Code for your area.

NOTE - If a back flow preventer is required by code, a shock arrestor should be installed between the back flow preventer and trifecta. Installing the shock arrestor as close to the trifecta as possible will provide the best results.

INSTALLATION

Plumbing Hook-Up

how it works
  1. Flush the water line.
  2. Securely attach ¼" water supply line to the elbow.
  3. Secure cord and water supply line under the retainer strap in any of the three locations as needed. (Only 1 strap included)
  4. Turn on the water supply.

Optional Drain Hook-Up

how it works
  1. Remove drip tray and the chrome plug from the base.
  2. Drill out the auxiliary outlet of the drip tray with a ½" drill bit.
  3. Secure ?" hose to drip tray, routing it through the opening in the base assembly.
  4. Connect hose to drain line as needed.
  5. Install drip tray.

INSTALLATION

  1. Install clear brew chamber and empty grounds cup, and lock chamber in place.
  2. Place an empty container under the brew chamber.
  3. Connect the trifecta to the power source.

INSTALLATION

how it works how it works how it works how it works
  1. Press the brew start switch. Water will flow into the brew tank. Some excess water will flow into the cup.
  2. Wait approximately five minutes for the water in the tank to heat to the proper temperature. Display will show "HEATING" until tank reaches it's operating temperature. Some water will drip from the brew chamber during this time; this is due to expansion and should not occur thereafter. Any excess water in the brew chamber will be automatically purged at the end of the initial setup.
  3. Water volumes and flow settings have been preset at the factory. Refer to "Adjusting Brewing Parameters" section of this manual should the volume need to be increased or decreased.
  4. The trifecta is now ready for use in accordance with the instructions for Coffee Brewing.

COFFEE BREWING

how it works
  1. Lift handle all the way up.
  2. Remove cup assembly.
  3. Fill with desired amount of ground coffee.
