MAINTENANCE

The following dispenser maintenance should be performed at the intervals indicated:

DAILY

(or as required)

Remove foreign material from vending area drip tray to prevent drain blockage.

WEEKLY
(or as required)

Clean vending area. Check for proper water drainage from the vending area drip tray.

MONTHLY

Clean and sanitize the hopper interior (see CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS).

START-UP & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Fill the hopper with ice. Dispense several large cups of ice (approximately 20 to 30 seconds total dispensing
time) to allow ice to fill the cold plate cabinet. Add ice to the hopper as necessary to refill and replace the lid. Al­low 10 to 15 minutes for the cold plate to cool down. Repeat this procedure whenever the dispenser has run out
of ice. Start up the beverage system and adjust faucets to the proper brix. Contact your local syrup distributor for
complete information on the beverage system.

In normal operation, pushing the ice dispenser mechinism will cause ice to flow from the ice chute. Ice flow will
continue until the dispenser mechinism is released. Dispensing of any faucet will provide beverage of the ap­propriate flavor.

CAUTION: Use caution to avoid spilling ice when filling dispenser. Immediately clean up any
spilled ice from filling or operating the unit. To prevent contamination of ice, the lid must be
installed on the unit at all times.

If the dispenser fails to dispense ice or beverage see troubleshooting guide.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Disconnect Power Before Cleaning! Do not use metal scrapers, sharp objects or
abrasives on the ice storage hopper, top cover and the agitator disk, as damage may result.
Do not use solvents or other cleaning agents, as they may attack the plastic material.

Soap solution - use a mixture of mild detergent and warm 100 degrees F potable water.

Sanitizing solution
solution to this ratio will create a solution of 200 PPM.
