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 TopBrewer, is the range of features modules that can be added to the machine currently and in the feature. The TopBrewer system is clever and expandable. 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 connections for the hoses.
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 transparent tube reads the fill level. The dial is a pressure regulator for the inlet water, which should only be adjusted 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 TopBrewer. These signal cables control the valves inside the fridge individually.

Readying your tabletop You will need: - Cut out template - Bosch PDF 1200 AE Router or similar - Clamps
When the hole for the faucet is done, the threaded sleeve is inserted from the bottom, and using the accompanied 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 recommend 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.

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.

Plumbing option 2 Drainline from driptray Fridge waste water Drainpump from machine Main Water w/ shutoff valve 1m 5 cm iPad Drainline Ø18mm Filters Drain plug provided Pipe size Ø40 C300 417 mm 464 mm C150 CO2 125 mm 119 mm Filters can be placed in an adjacent cabinet. The shutoff 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 shutoff 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.
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.
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 other side of the T-piece and secure with lock clips.
Fit the heads onto the filters. Ensure (above) to extract the small venthose 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 using 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 handling.
Remove also the bean canister.
To ease installation, use a support while securing the machine to the cabinet foor as shown. Secure the machine with minimum 6 countersunk screws as shown. Mount the lock-hinge, preventing 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 connecters. Ensure once again the machine can be puled out and cable-tie alongisde the power line.
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 ActiveCoal 10.000 filter. Using the shut-off 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 distance 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, connect the flush water hose, also coming 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 TopBrewer.
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 recirculation 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.
1 Installing the faucet requires som preperation steps. 1. Remove the labels, noting with a marker where they fit 2. Remove the clamp 3.
1 2 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 earlier. Fit a 6mm hose to one of the inlet of the Y-piece and use the machine, 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.
1 2 1. Mount the isolation hose. (exlcuding milk line) 2. Fit back labels to their original place. 3. Connect the lines to the right outlets on the back of the machine. (see diagram as well) Use angles to ease the tension on the lines.
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.
1 2 3 4 5 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.
6 7 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 coffee-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 rotating 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.
Adjusting the Grinder 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 Coffee. 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 coffee. 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”.
