Just what I needed to know. It takes at least 3 potfuls to get water to flow.

I finally figured it out, but I had to actually see it for myself. Good luck!!!

I was wondering if anyone knew the proper procedure to drain the tank so i can put mine in storage.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.

Hey, anyone know how to increase the water temperature if the knob behind the face behind the pot is already turned up all the way...?

My Bunn vp-17 gets very very hot at the plug as if it want to melt the receptical any ideas why?? Water gets hot at initial start after pouring the 3 jobs at the 4th one it comes hot instantly over all 5 minutes not 25 like it says on video

[@dremadalfayez8652]

I have BUNN VP17A-3 I want to ask how can i adjust the 3 warmer temperatures

[@CasperWy2023]

Still confused about why 3 pots of water and how to make 2 pots

[@yossi7988]

I had the same question hooking mine up last night. It had a holding tank of water that it keeps hot, when you add water over that, the hot water comes out and what you added replaces what is now coffee.

+Carie Burns-Smith When you pour one pot of water into the brewer, it fills the holding tank about 1/3 of the way full. After 3 pots of water, the tank will be full and after plugging in your machine, you can turn on the tank heater and after 30 minutes, brew a pot of coffee. See our new animation videos on our channel for more specific information and a look into how it all actually works from the inside!

when does it shut off ?

[@cstanton33]

So is there always water sitting in the holding tank then? This doesn't sound right, especially if I use the brewer only occasionally. Do I want water sitting in there over an extended period of time?

@@cstanton33 ya I'm kinda tripping about this too, but I brew daily. So I'm not concerned about mold or anything it just seems strange to have several pitchers of water in there ALL the time. And how do I drain it if I want to move it?
