OPERATING CONTROLS A. ON/OFF Switch ON - Placing the switch in the left position allows the start switch to activate a timed brew cycle for three gallons of tea. OFF - Placing the switch in the right position stops the brew cycle. Stopping a brew cycle after it has been started will not stop the flow of water into the funnel until the tank syphons down to its proper level. The switch should always be placed in this position after a brew cycle and whenever the brewer is unattended. B. Start Swi
