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.

- use 1/2 ounce of household bleach in 1 gallon of potable water. Preparing the sanitizing

A. Remove agitator assembly.

B. Using a long handle nylon bristle brush, clean the interior of the hopper, top, cover and cold plate with

soap solution. The cold plate can be reached by going through the ice opening on the hopper bottom.
Make certain to reach the entire surface of the cold plate including the corners. Clean the agitator as­sembly with soap solution using a nylon brush or a sponge. Thoroughly rinse the hopper, top cover,
agitator and cold plate surfaces with clean potable water.

C. Remove merchandiser and ice chute cover from dispenser.

D. With a nylon bristle brush or sponge, clean the inside of the ice chute, gasket and cover with soap

solution and rinse thoroughly to remove all traces of detergent.

E. Re-assemble agitator assembly. Make certain that o-ring is seated properly in agitator bushing.

F. Using a mechanical spray bottle filled with sanitizing solution, spray the entire interior and agitator as-

sembly. Allow to air dry.

G. Re-assemble ice chute assembly.

H. Using a mechanical spray bottle filled with sanitizing solution, spray the inside of the ice chute. Allow

Refer to addendum supplied with the unit that is applicable to the manufacturer of the valves installed on the
unit.

2. PRODUCT TUBING

Only trained and qualified persons should perform these cleaning and sanitizing procedures.

A. Sanitize tank systems, Post-Mix and Pre-Mix

a. Remove all the quick disconnects from all the tanks. Fill a suitable pail or bucket with soap solu-

b. Submerge all disconnects (gas and liquid) in the soap solution and then clean them using a nylon

sanitizing solution. Close the tank.

e. Prepare cleaning tank by filling clean five (5) gallon tank with warm 100 degrees F potable

water.

f. Connect a gas disconnect to the tank and then apply one of the product tubes to the cleaning

tank. Operate the appropriate valve until liquid dispensed is free of any syrup.

g. Disconnect cleaning tank and hook up sanitizing tank to syrup line and CO

h. Energize beverage faucet until chlorine sanitizing solution is dispensed through the faucet. Flush

at least two (2) cups of liquid to insure that the sanitizing solution has filled the entire length of the
syrup tubing.

i. Allow sanitizer to remain in lines for fifteen (15) minutes.

j. Repeat the step above, applying a different product tube each time until all tubes are filled with

the sanitizing solution.

k. For post-mix valves, remove the nozzle and syrup diffuser and clean them in a mild soap solution.

Rinse with clean water and reassemble the nozzle and syrup diffuser to the valve.

l. Discard the tank of sanitizing solution and reconnect the syrup tanks. Operate the valves until all

sanitizer has been flushed from the system and only syrup is flowing.

B. Sanitize syrup lines, B-I-B Systems

a. Remove all the quick disconnects from all the B-I-B containers.

b. Fill a suitable pail or bucket with soap solution.

c. Submerge all disconnects (gas and liquid) in the soap solution and then clean them using a nylon

bristle brush. (Do not use a wire brush). Rinse with clean water.

d. Using a plastic pail, prepare approximately five (5) gallons of sanitizing solution.

e. Rinse the B-I-B disconnects in the sanitizing solution.

f. Sanitizing fittings must be attached to each B-I-B disconnect. If these fittings are not available,

the fittings from empty B-I-B bags can be cut from the bags and used. These fittings open the
disconnect so the sanitizing solution can be drawn through the disconnect.

g. Place all the B-I-B disconnects into the pail of sanitizing solution. Operate all the valves until the

sanitizing solution is flowing from the valve. Allow sanitizer to remain in lines for fifteen (15) min­utes.

h. Remove the nozzle and syrup diffuser from each valve and clean them in a soap solution. Rinse

with clean water and reassemble the nozzle and syrup diffuser to the valve.

i. Remove the sanitizing fittings from the B-I-B disconnects and connect the disconnects to the ap-

propriate B-I-B container. Operate the valves until all sanitizer has been flushed from the system
and syrup is flowing freely.

C. Sanitize Flavor syrup lines, B–I–B System

a. Remove all the quick disconnects from all the B–I–B containers.

b. Fill a suitable pail or bucket with soap solution.

c. Submerge all disconnects (gas and liquid) in the soap solution and then clean them using a nylon

bristle brush. (Do not use a wire brush). Rinse with clean water.

d. Using a plastic pail, prepare approximately five (5) gallons of sanitizing solution.

e. Rinse the B–I–B disconnects in the sanitizing solution.

f. Sanitizing fittings must be attached to each B–I–B disconnect. If these fittings are not available,

the fittings from the empty B–I–B bags can be cut from the bags and used. These fittings open
the disconnect so the sanitizing solution can be drawn through the disconnect.

g. Place all the B–I–B disconnects into the pail of sanitizing solution. ‘Purge’ all the flavor valves

until the sanitizing solution is flowing from inner nozzle. This can easily be accomplished by
holding down each keypad button for at least 15 seconds. After 15 seconds the valve will go into
‘purge’ mode and continuously dispense for the next 60 seconds. Allow sanitizer to remain in
lines for at least thirty (30) minutes.

h. Remove nozzle cover (outer nozzle) from flavor module housing. Clean in a soap solution and

rinse with clean water.

i. Remove the sanitizing fittings from the B–I–B disconnects and connect the disconnects to the ap-

propriate B–I–B container. Operate the flavor valves until all sanitizer has been flushed from the
system and flavor syrup is flowing freely.
