SOURCE: How do you drain all the water from the resavoir

Hello. Take the funnel out, under it is the spray head, remove it, unplug the unit, take it over to a sink and tilt the end that the spray head was on into the sink slowly, the water in the tank will drain out through the spray head pipe until mostly empty. You also could take the top off, take the tank lid off, and use a shop vac to vacuum all the water off, or just pour it out, probably faster, but messier :) If you need information on you unit, go to www.bunnomatic.com , chose commercial, and then on the left, choose coffee, and pour overs.

Hope that helped, and thank you.

SOURCE: I have a BUNN VPS that leaks water when we make

There is a significant amount of plumbing inside one of these. I think it will have to be taken apart to find the leak -- these leaks are very common and sometimes very difficult to stop (kinda like a roof leak).

Is this a lot of water, or just a small amount.

As the unit sits over time and runs heating cycles, it may have some vapor come out of the vents. That will cool and collect around the unit.

try turning the unit off for the weekends. If you still have water around the unit, then it may have a leak in the tank.

SOURCE: Can't figure out why when I plug in my bunn

Hello,

There is a couple things can cause this to happen.

Number one make sure you have nothing else added recently on that circuit, where you have had your machine plugged in. If something was added on that circuit, something that is always running like a fridge, that could be overloading the circuit, sense coffee machines use a huge amount of power at start up. If your sure nothing of that sort has changed then next is:

Number two, make sure you have cleaned the machine, you know descaling and making sure there is no restrictions. If this is good, then next is:

Number three, it appears you can have a short. The heating element going bad in the coffee maker. If the thermostat or heating element is pulling more power boost then normal because its going bad or a short this will trip the breaker. What I would first do, is run yourself a extension cord from another outlet that for sure is not on same breaker. If that breaker blows, then you know for sure it is the machine that is causing this, then we are back to the heating element or thermostat on off regulator.

What i have done is located the manual on your machine, that besides gives you a lot of information, it also gives you trouble shooting tips and schematics of the parts and wiring diagram for you machine. Here is the link to copy and paste in your browser to download the manual.
