TopBrewer Compact Installation Manual.. Ver 1..0
Installing a TopBrewer can be a fulfilling experience. It’s
like any project, that are taking shape and once done, the
result is mesmerizing.
Still, with the TopBrewer there is a certain degree of unex-
pected pleasure, when you serve the first piping hot cup of
coee out of the graceful swan neck. The sensation when
the liquid flows and the joy brought to those controlling it
from their phone.
IIf you follow this guide carefully, it will fit beautifully into
your space.
We hope you will enjoy your TopBrewer Experience.

Kind Disclaimer
The TopBrewer is a precision piece of machinery, a fine work of engineering that
has been built to last. Due to the nature of it’s inner workings that are able to
produce a second-to-none drink, installation must be done in line with factory
recommendations in this manual.
We also strongly discourage you from using parts, tubing, fittings and items of
that nature, that are not supplied by TopBrewer.
We also recommend only using TopBrewer certified consumables, such as Cof-
fee (so that we may help you adjust your machine), Water Filters, Co2 bottles
and Cleaning tablets.
Only this way we can ensure that your machine works to the best of it’s ability.

The Anatomy of the system
ICE-Bank Fridge TopBrewer
Filtration Starter Kit
The top of the connection panel, which
you will find on the back of the Top-
Brewer, is the range of features mod-
ules that can be added to the machine
currently and in the feature. The Top-
Brewer system is clever and expanda-
ble. This manual concentrates only on
the “Milk Pump” coming from the fridge
and the sparkling and cold water valves.
A step further down is the quick-fit con-
nections for the hoses. Three of these
goes directly into the faucet, with “Flush
Water” being the exception, going from
the machine into the fridge. (see dia-
gram on page XXXXX)
Lowest on the panel is the Main “Water
In” (coming from the 30% bypass filter)
as well as two additional connections
going to a dedicated steam filter. This
to ensure a 100% filtration of the water
dedicated to the steamer, preventing
scale build.
Also here main AC Power cable.
On the top left side you have an inlet to
fill the ICE-Bank with water. This must be
done prior to powering it up! The trans-
parent tube reads the fill level.
The dial is a pressure regulator for the
inlet water, which should only be ad-
justed if the water is not flowing at a
speed, that fills the glass to the level
specified in the app.
The two Molex plugs are for Cold and
Sparkling water, plugged into the Top-
Brewer. These signal cables control the
valves inside the fridge individually.
The quick-fit connectors below are for
Main “Water In” from the AC Filter, Wa-
ter out and CO2.
The main power switch (Green) as well
as the AC power.
The recirculation switch is to remain on
always, controlling the pump that cir-
culates the cooling water that cools the
Fridge-space.

When the hole for the faucet is done,
the threaded sleeve is inserted from
the bottom, and using the accompa-
nied guide, it’s cut to length to allow for
enough thread to pass through to reach
the bracket that holds the faucet.
Use a silicone adhesive to
make a proper seal. It’s rec-
ommend also to silicone open
pours in the wood.
The sleeve is now inserted
from the top as shown and
the bracket is fitted from
below. Make sure to tighten it
properly.
Use a silicone adhesive to make a
proper seal. It’s recommend also to
silicone open pours in the wood.
Insert the drip tray so that the drain
outlet is aligned with the faucet
sleeve.

SPACE REQUIREMENTS
Do cut-outs as outlined in the drawing.
It’s import to follow exactly, as the the
base is used as a ventilation chamber to
allow fresh air in and hot exhaust air out.
The hole in the far right of the cabinet is
for the fridge - so the placement of the
fridge is decided by this cut-out.

Filters can be placed in an adjacent cabinet. The
shuto valve is advised to be installed along the
filters, also obeying local rules and regulations. Co2
canister (is applicable) must be standing upright.
Drain can be positioned either like shown
in the center of the cabinet in between
the machine and fridge.
Electrics can also be mounted in the
top-right corner of the cabinet, when this
space is not reserved for filters.
The machine is delivered with a 3/8
inch male check-valve. Not supplied is
a country specific connection hose and
shuto valve.
An overview on how the installation
could end up looking like.
Filtration starter kit
The kit consists of:
2 x Pure50 Filters
1 x ActiveCoal 10.000 Filter
2 x 0% filter heads with brackets
1 x 30% filter heads with bracket
3 meter 6mm hose
2,5 meter 4mm hose
1 meter 8 mm hose
1 x Y-piece (6x6x6)
1 x One-way valve &
1 x T-piece (⅜”x8x8)
2 x 8x8 Angle Fitting
2 x 8x6 Angle Fitting
2 x 8x4 Straight Fitting
2 x 6x4 Angle Fitting
3x 6x6 Angle Fitting
Lock Clips
Note: This is a proposed setup. Installing
the filters in adjacent cabinets is also an
options, as long as supply lines are able
to move freely and not obstructing the
sliding motion of the machine. Leave
also lenth enough for the fridge to be
pulled out for service.
First, fit the O-ring as shown inthe
the checkvalve and insert the white
T-piece and tighten.
The first 0% head (see label on top)
is fitted with the two straight fittings
(4mm) as shown.
The second 0% head is fitted with first
a 8mm angle fitting on the “in” side as
shown.
And next a 6mm angle fitting on the
“out” side.
Cut two pieces of 6mm hose to
length, at 6 cm
Fit the T-piece we assembled before
on the “in” side of the 30% head. The
T-piece is used to supply main water
to the machine (through the 30%
head) and also water to the fridge,
through the 0% head.
Fit the other piece of hose to the oth-
er side of the T-piece and secure with
lock clips.
Fit the heads onto the filters. Ensure (above) to extract the small vent-
hose as shown first.
30% head fits: Pure 50
0% head (with straight fittings) fits: Pure 50 filter
0% head (with angle fittings) fits: ActiveCoal 10.000 filter
As shown to the right here, a proposed configuration puts the 30% filter
and the 0% with the angle fittings next to eachother.
Conect the two filters like shown us-
ing the T-piece, so create a “corner”.
Next, place the brackets accordingly
inside the cabinet.
The last filter (with the straight fittings) shall always be placed fairly close to the machine, allowing the two 4mm hoses to move freely, when
pulling the machine in and out.
Installing the TopBrewer
Remove excess wait like the dreg bin,
waste tray and brewer to easy han-
dling.
Remove also the bean canister.
Allow for minimum 30 mm of
clearance on the left side of
the machine and 10 mm on
the front
To ease installation, use a sup-
port while securing the machine
to the cabinet foor as shown.
Secure the machine with mini-
mum 6 countersunk screws as
shown.
Mount the lock-hinge, prevent-
ing the machine from sliding out,
in the bottom of the cabinet.
Connect electricity to the main.
Ensure enough lenght, and use
the machine at full extension to
measure the correct distance.
Connect the “From Filter” and
“To Filter” 4mm lines to the
filter we’ve prepared with 0%
bypass, to the female con-
necters. Ensure once again
the machine can be puled out
and cable-tie alongisde the
power line.
You will need:
A tube-cutter
Cable ties
Connect next the main water inlet
to the 30% bypass filter on the “out”
side, using the 6mm line provided
and shorten accordingly. Cabletie
alongside the hoses as well.
Installing the Fridge
Start by filling the fridge with water,
using the supply line from the Active-
Coal 10.000 filter. Using the shut-o
valve, we can now fill the ICE-bank to
the fill level illustrated on the back of
the machine.
Once finished, ensure to refit the
plug.
During the installation process, place
the fridge 20 cm from the front of the
cabinet. We’re going to use this dis-
tance as our guide in making hoses
and connections the right length.
Connect first the drain line (marked
D) to the drain. This is for the flush
water exiting the fridge. Next, con-
nect the flush water hose, also com-
ing out the back of the fridge, to the
“Flush Water” outlet on the back of
the machine as shown. You can use
an angle if this eases install.

Installing the Fridge
Connect both signal cables. One is
for sparkling water and one is for cold
water. Ensure to match up each end
with the correct plug from the back of
the fridge to the back of the TopBrew-
er.
Shorten as much as allowed,
bundle the wires together with a
cable-tie as shown .
Next, fit the electricity cable to
the back of the fridge.
Please turn on the fridge, as it
will take approx 3-4 hours for
it to form ice and subsequently
start cooling. Engage recircula-
tion switch.
When correctly installed, here shown from the top, fitlers are placed neatly inside the cabint and all hoses and cables are neatly tied
together, creating a well arranged installation area.
Installing the faucet requires
som preperation steps.
1. Remove the labels, noting with
a marker where they fit
2. Remove the clamp
3. 30 mm from the base, cut o
the insulating hose and save for
later

1: Shorten the “hot water” or “W”
hose to 40mm in length.
2. Insert the sleeve that helps the
faucet glide easier through like
shown
3. insert the faucet and secure
the clamp back in place, acting
as a stop.

Lower the faucet down to it’s bottom position
Fit the Y-piece onto the “Water” or “W” line that we shortened ear-
lier.
Fit a 6mm hose to one of the inlet of the Y-piece and use the ma-
chine, that is stilled pulled out fully, as a guide to making it the right
length.
Measure from the back edge of the
machine and 15cm and use this as
your guide to cut the hose.
Use the Water line, that we just cut,
as a guide to shorten the remaining
lines coming out of the faucet.
IMPORTANT!: Do not cut the 4mm
hose, labeled with a “M” for milk.
Leave this aside for now!
1. Mount the isolation hose. (exlcud-
ing milk line)
2. Fit back labels to their original
place.
3. Connect the lines to the right out-
lets on the back of the machine.
(see diagram as well)
Use angles to ease the tension on the
lines.vvv

The other leg on the Y-piece is connected to the cold-water
outlet on the fridge. Cut a small length of 6mm hose and fit to a
double-female connector as shown.
Using the 4mm line, which is exactly 1 meter long, connect the
hose to the double-female connector on one end, and the fridge
water-out on the other end as shown
1. Next, locate the milk line that we put aside before.
2. Pertrude the milk line, coming frm the faucet, and into the back
of the fridge as shown above.
3. Poke the line through the rubber seal and pull through as far as it
extends
4. Cut of at an index fingers length.
5. Ensure a proper fit with the rubber seal as show, pushing into the
cylinder

6. Connect the Y-piece, already prepared inside the fridge, to the Milk Line and the Flush Water line and secure with cable-ties as shown.
7. Connect the drain out on the yellow double-valve to the drain line as shown. A fnished installtion sits neatly onto the rubber seal, with
the seal pushed all the way flush with the cylinder to allow no air to pass.
Note: Along the process, ensure to fit labels back to the lines accordingly.

Next, fit back the brewer. Remember
to connect the coee-hose to the top
piston.
Tighten the finger screw, but omit
using tools.
Replace both dreg and wate bin as
shown.
Fit the Co2 bottle (if applicable), using
a 6mm hose going from the back of
the fridge and to the manometer.
Fit the manometer and secure to the
bottle. Do not overtigthen.
Slowly, engage the pressure by rotat-
ing the top bevel clockwise.
Pressure setting: 3 bar
The Co2 bottle can by all means, be
placed in an adjacent cabinet.
Use the milk sphere to poke through
a milk carton like shown, once the
milk fridge is producing cooling.
The grinder is delivered at a factory
preset setting and can be adjusted for
optimum extraction.
We recommend doing this when the
machine is getting installed, using
TopBrewer Coee.
1. Pull 1 or 2 espresso shots, standard
of the menu. Measure the time of
the extraction, from the second you
push the button to the second it stops
pouring coee. This time should be
around 30 seconds.
2. To adjust the pour, go to the menu
(arrow up) and located Adjust >
Grinder. Select “Grinder 1”. A greater
number here is finer = longer ex-
traction. A lesser number is coarser =
shorter extraction.
3. Make an adjustment and hit “Yes”
so save. Exit the menu by hitting “No”
or wait a few seconds and the ma-
chine will time out.
4. Pull 2 espressos and measure the
second.
5. Repeat accordingly until you get
the result you are looking for.
