Connection to the mains water
supply

Check that the mains pressure is between
1 bar and 3,5 bar. To enhance the quality
of the sparkling water dispensed, an
incoming flow rate in excess of 3,5 lt/min is
recommended.

Connect incoming water tube Ø8 mm (2)
to the drinking-water main, ideally with a
tap upstream of the unit.

The unit is equipped with a safety valve
and a non-return valve.

Connect waste pipes (3) and (1) to a
waste water manifold. Once the pipes are
attached, turn on the tap. Ensure there are
no leaks.

Before drinking the water from the system,
perform a thorough rinse of the circuit by
dispensing water from each product line.

CAUTION!

To connect the water cooler to the mains
water supply, you will need to use a new set
of connectors (joints, gaskets and pipes).

Do not use a set of connectors that has
already been used elsewhere.

The water pressure entering the unit must
be between a minimum of 1,0 bar (0,10
MPa) and a maximum of 3,5 bar (0,35 MPa)

Electrical connection

The connections must comply with local
regulations. The grounding of the unit is
a legal requirement.

Connect the power supply cable to the
IEC plug (1) and to the electric socket.

Turn the unit on by selecting the “I”
position on the main on/off rocker switch
(2). The ice-bank pump, compressor
and fan are now activated. On the
FIZZ models, the pump for filling the
carbonator with water is also activated.

Press the “Sparkling Water” button in
order to release any air in the circuit and
to allow the pump to fill the carbonator
with water.

After around 1-2 minutes, the sparkling
water pump stops.

Thermostat

The thermostat (3) is set in the maximum
position to control the ice bank.

If you want to avoid the formation of ice
in the bank, turn the thermostat screw at
least 1/4” anti-clockwise.

In the case of freezing of the water
circuit, turn off the unit and keep it off for
at least 12 hours.

20

Fig. 20.2

Once the unit is connected to the mains
water and electricity, and the ice-bank
tank has been filled, you can install the
E290 food-grade carbon dioxide (CO2)
cylinder.

The machine is not equipped with a
CO2 pressure reducer or CO2 cylinder
(optional).

Inside the machine, you can install
cylinders with a maximum diameter of
160 mm and a maximum height of 780
mm – standard 5 kg or 6 kg cylinders are
generally within these dimensions. The
unit is equipped with a tear tape for the
safety fixing of the cylinder.

To increase or decrease the level of
carbonation of the water, you need to
adjust the screw (1). Turning it clockwise
increases the level of carbonation. We
recommend that you do not exceed 4
bar of pressure (2).

To reduce the carbonation level, turn
the screw anti-clockwise. The level will
decrease as soon as sparkling water is
dispensed.

To achieve a good level of carbonation,
you need to wait until the water is
sufficiently cold – i.e. at least one hour
after installation.

Handling the gas cylinders

All of the cylinders must be fitted
with a valve protector cap, which
must be on tight at all times when
the cylinder is not in use.

The cylinders must be handled
with care. It is essential to avoid:
clashes with other cylinders or
surfaces; dropping the cylinders;
or subjecting them to mechanical
stress. All of the above may
compromise their integrity and
resistance.

The cylinders must not be lifted
by the cap, or dragged, rolled or
slid along the floor. Even if only
being moved for short distances,
an appropriate hand cart or other
suitable means of transport should
be used.

Do not use magnetic lifters or slings with ropes or chains to lift the cylinders.
If the cylinders are to be lifted with cranes, hoists or fork-lift trucks, ensure that
appropriate cages, metal baskets or pallets are used.

The cylinders must not be moved or handled with greasy hands or gloves. This is
particularly important in relation to cylinders containing oxidising gases.

MAIN FEATURES

This filter removes the odour and flavour of chlorine and
other contaminants that can alter the taste of the water.
The Precoat microfiltration system removes impurities and
particles with dimensions of 0.5 microns and above.

It also reduces the levels of any contaminants such
as asbestos fibres and micro-organisms such as
Cryptosporidium and Giardia.

It protects gaskets, pumps, tubes and valves against
blockages, corrosion and abrasions.

Approved by the Italian Ministry of Health and the Water
Regulations Advisory Scheme (UK), it is certified compliant
with the NSF/ANSI standards 42 and 53.

The cartridge should be changed every 6 MONTHS.
