INSTALLATION
SPECIFICATIONS
WATER SUPPLY
The Quantum Juice Dispensing machine is designed to dispense juice at a high flow rate. It is very
important that the incoming water line is dedicated for the unit, or at least does not have other
machines connected which could cause a water surge; i.e., a dishwashing machine.
NOTE: For increased cooling capacity the unit should be connected to a remote
recirculating cooling unit. If the location is equipped with a dedicated beverage water supply system the juice dispenser should be connected to it.
NOTE: The water supply should be consistent with proper water quality standard
(neutral ph of 7.0 to 8.0), and should not be connected to a water softener. The water cooling coil is Copper, and may be affected by poor water conditions (i.e. severe
corrosion and pitting).
Water connections shall be sized, installed, and maintained according to Federal, State, and Local
Laws.
ELECTRICAL
A minimum of 15 amps electrical service is needed for 120V power supply or 10 amps for 220V
supply.
SPACE
The minimum clearance is: 4” (10.16cm) in back and 12” (30.48cm) on top and open to the front if
sides are blocked off. If the sides are open then only 2” (5.08cm) is required in the back. Space
between the bottom of the unit and the counter cannot be obstructed.
NOTE: Condenser air is drawn from the bottom and discharged out the back. Failure to maintain clearance space will reduce capacity of the unit and cause premature compressor failure.
CONNECTING WATER SUPPLY
1. Secure 3/8” (0.95cm) flexible hose to the unit water inlet. Make sure that the seal washer is
used (hose and seal washer are included with the installation kit).
2. When securing flare nut use backup wrench on male side of the fitting (unit side) to prevent
twisting of the copper tube inside the unit and/or possible damage to the water strainer/solenoid. A water shut off outside the unit is recommended.
FILLING UNIT WITH WATER
To properly prime the unit with water, without air pockets in the system, push the dispensing
switches simultaneously for a few seconds each. Repeat above until a steady flow of water is
observed.
NOTE: Water splashing may occur during the purge cycle.

CONCENTRATE
LOADING AND BRIXING
PLACING CONCENTRATE PRODUCTS ON DISPENSING PLATFORM
To engage the concentrate container, place it in the desired position and press down into bottle
adapter opening on dispensing platform tray (inside the cabinet).
NOTE: Make sure o-ring seal on the container adapter is lubricated; otherwise, you
may experience difficulties with container replacement.
NOTE: Concentrate in the containers must be completely thawed and be within the
temperature range of 35 °F - 40°F (1.6°C - 4.4°C). Failing to supply concentrate inside
the recommended temperature range, especially below 35°F (1.6°C), will cause an
out of brix drink.
It is recommended the concentrate be thawed in a refrigerated (35°F - 40°F) (1.6 °C - 4.4°C) com-
partment for 36 to 48 hours before use.
It is recommended that the thawed concentrate be thoroughly shaken before use.
CHANGING CONCENTRATE FLAVOR
1. Perform flush cycle
2. Move valve handle to “Dispense” position
3. Replace concentrate container
PUMP PRIMING
1. Follow instructions in paragraph “Placing Concentrate Products on the Dispensing Platform”
2. Close the door (or unit will not activate)
3. Depress the push button until concentrate appears at the dispensing nozzle.
BRIX SETTING
1. Make two (2) full clockwise turns of the corresponding brix knob from the “all the way out” position (factory set). These two turns will bring you within one turn of proper brix setting. (Refer
to brix table located on the inside of the refrigerated compartment door).
2. Dispense 1/2 cup of juice and discard.
3. Dispense 1/2 cup of juice and use refractometer to check brix level.
4. Clockwise rotation of the knob decreases brix level for example from 13% to 11.5%. Counterclockwise will increase brix level for example from 11.5% to 13%.
If a brix problem is experienced, refer to troubleshooting guide.
