Initial Set-Up
.
PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
This dispenser must be connected to a COLD WATER system with operating pressure between 20 and 90 psi (138
and 620 kPa)from a 1⁄2" or larger supply line. A shut-off valve should be installed in the line before the dispenser.
Install a regulator in the line when pressure is greater than 90 psi (620 kPa) to reduce it to 50 psi (345 kPa). The
water inlet fitting is 1⁄4" flare.
NOTE - Bunn-O-Matic recommends 1⁄4" copper tubing for installations of less than 25 feet and 3⁄8" for more than
25 feet from the 1⁄2" water supply line. At least 18 inches of an FDA approved flexible beverage tubing, such as
reinforced braided polyethylene or silicone, before the dispenser will facilitate movement to clean the countertop.
It can be purchased direct from Bunn-O-Matic (part number 00326-0000). Bunn-O-Matic does not recommend
the use of a saddle valve to install the dispenser. The size and shape of the hole made in the supply line by this type
of device may restrict water flow.
This equipment must be installed to comply with the Basic Plumbing Code of the Building Officials
and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA) and the Food Service Sanitation Manual of the
Plumbing Hook-Up

CAUTION - The dispenser must be disconnected from the power source throughout the initial set-up, except
when specified in the instructions.
1.Remove the upper rear panel and rotate the control thermostat
knob fully counterclockwise to the “OFF” position and replace
the panel.
2.Connect the dispenser to the power source and turn-on the water

3.Water will automatically flow into the tank to the proper level
and shut-off. This will take approximately 10 minutes.
4.Disconnect the dispenser from the power source, remove the
upper rear panel and place the control thermostat knob fully
clockwise to the “ON” position, and replace the panel.
5.Connect the dispenser to the power source and wait approximately twenty minutes for the water in the tank to heat.
6.On models with ready indicator, the indicator will glow when the
proper water temperature for use is achieved.

DRAINING THE DISPENSER
CAUTION - The dispenser must be disconnected from the power source throughout these steps.
1. Disconnect the dispenser from the power source.
2. Shut-off and disconnect the incoming water supply
3. Remove the 4-40 screws at the sides of the top panel.
4. Gently remove one of the grommets from the tank lid.
5. Insert a tube to the bottom of the tank and syphon ALL of the water out. Bunn-O-Matic has a syphon assem-
bly available (#12440.0000) for this purpose.
NOTE - The dispenser must be full using the INITIAL SET-UP steps before reconnecting to the power source.
CLEANING
The use of a damp cloth rinsed in any mild, non-abrasive, liquid detergent is recommended for cleaning
all surfaces on Bunn-O-Matic equipment.
WALL MOUNTED INSTALLATION
If the dispenser is wall mounted, the bottom of the dispenser should be at the same height as a counter or
table top. Use B.O.M. part #12542.0000 for side mounted Wall Bracket Kit or # 13125.0001 for front mounted
Wall Bracket Kit .
SUPPORT FOR LARGE RECEPTACLES
CAUTION: If the dispenser is to be used with larger receptacles such as pitchers or pots, those receptacles must
be adequately supported during dispensing of hot water to avoid spillage of very hot water. This support may be
provided by a table or counter top, or use B.O.M. part #12599.0000 Shelf Kit

TROUBLESHOOTING
A troubleshooting guide is provided to suggest probable causes and remedies for the most likely problems
encountered. If the problem remains after exhausting the troubleshooting steps, contact the Bunn-O-Matic Technical Service Department.
•Inspection, testing, and repair of electrical equipment should be performed only by qualified service personnel.
•All electronic components have 120 – 240 volt ac and low voltage dc potential on their terminals. Shorting of
terminals or the application of external voltages may result in board failure.
•Intermittent operation of electronic circuit boards is unlikely. Board failure will normally be permanent. If an
intermittent condition is encountered, the cause will likely be a switch contact or a loose connection at a
terminal or crimp.
•Solenoid removal requires interrupting the water supply to the valve. Damage may result if solenoids are
energized for more than ten minutes without a supply of water.
•The use of two wrenches is recommended whenever plumbing fittings are tightened or loosened. This will
help to avoid twists and kinks in the tubing.
•Make certain that all plumbing connections are sealed and electrical connections tight and isolated.
•This dispenser is heated at all times. Keep away from combustibles.
WARNING
•Exercise extreme caution when servicing electrical equipment.
•Disconnect the dispenser from the power source when servicing, except when electrical tests are speci-
fied.
•Follow recommended service procedures
•Replace all protective shields or safety notices
Problem
Equipment will not operate.
Probable Cause
1. No power or incorrect voltage
2. Safety overflow switch
Remedy
(A) Check the terminal block for the correct voltage. It should be:

Solenoid Valve
Location:
The solenoid valve is located inside the rear of the dispenser on the right side near the bottom.
6. Check the solenoid valve for coil action. Connect
the dispenser to the power source. Listen carefully
in the vicinity of the solenoid valve for a “clicking”
sound after approximately 5 seconds, as the coil
magnet attracts the plunger.
7. Disconnect the dispenser from the power source.
If the sound was heard as described and water will not
pass through the solenoid valve, there may be a blockage in the water line before or after the solenoid valve
or the solenoid valve may require inspection for wear
and removal of waterborne particles.
If the sound was not heard as described, replace the
solenoid valve.
Removal and Replacement:
1. Remove all wires from the solenoid valve coil.
2. Turn-off the water supply to the dispenser.
3. Disconnect the water lines to and from the solenoid valve.
