SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This unit has been specifically designed to provide protection against personal injury. To ensure continued protection
observe the following:
Disconnect power to the unit before servicing following all lock out/tag out procedures established
by the user. Verify all the power is off to the unit before any work is performed. Failure to disconnect
the power could result in serious injury, death or equipment damage.
Always be sure to keep area around the unit clean and free of clutter. Failure to keep this area clean
may result in injury or equipment damage.
Shipping And Storage
Before shipping, storing, or relocating the unit, the unit must be sanitized and all sanitizing solution
must be drained from the system. A freezing ambient environment will cause residual sanitizing
solution or water remaining inside the unit to freeze resulting in damage to internal components.
The unit should be stored in a climate controlled area if long term storage is needed. Long term
exposure to cold/hot conditions can permanently damage critical system components such as the
computer and touchscreen.
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) Warning
CO2 displaces oxygen. Strict attention MUST be observed in the prevention of CO2 gas leaks in the
entire CO
DIATELY
high concentrations of CO
ness and DE
2 and soft drink system. If a CO2 gas leak is suspected, particularly in a small area, IMME-
ventilate the contaminated area before attempting to repair the leak. Personnel exposed to
2 gas experience tremors which are followed rapidly by loss of conscious-
ATH.
Mounting in or on a Counter
While installing the unit in or on a counter top, the counter must be able to support a weight in
excess of 1,000 lbs. to insure adequate support for the unit.
Failure to comply could result in serious injury, death or equipment damage.
Unit Location
• This unit is not designed for use in outdoor locations.
• The appliance must be placed in a horizontal position.
• The appliance is not suitable for installation in an area where a water jet would be used.
Machine Usage
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

SANITIZING THE ICE BIN
It is easier to sanitize the ice bin before placing the unit on the counter. This procedure can be performed after positioning the unit on the counter, if desired. Perform the following steps to sanitize the ice bin:
1. Open the display door and remove the cover from the ice
bin.
Figure 3
2. Remove the agitator retaining screw. To do this, turn the
thumbscrew counterclockwise, then lift the agitator cover
off the 2-piece agitator assembly
3. Remove the 2-piece agitator assembly from the bin.
To do this, lift the first (top) piece of the 2-piece agitator
assembly from the bin, then lift the second (bottom) piece
out of the bin.
Result: See Figure 6.
4. With the 2-piece agitator removed from the bin, clean the
interior of the bin, top cover and agitator assembly.
Note: Use a soap solution with a nylon bristle brush,
sponge or cloth to clean the interior of the bin, top cover
and agitator assembly.
Then, thoroughly rinse the bin, cover and agitator surfaces
with clean potable water.

WARNING

POSITIONING THE SPIRE DISPENSER ON THE COUNTER
The Spire unit is very heavy and extreme care should be taken when moving or lifting the unit. Do
not attempt to lift the unit manually.
Failure to comply could result in serious injury, death or damage to the equipment.
Important: Before taking the unit off the pallet or whenever moving the unit, gather all electrical
cables and tubing from under the unit and position them appropriately to protect them from damage
when moving the unit.
Review all information here first, then perform the following steps to place the Spire unit in position on the counter:
1. Locate the indoor placement of the dispenser. The dispenser can be placed directly on the counter top or it
can be placed on the counter top using the optional Anti-Tip Kit (sold separately).
Counter Mounting
For direct mounting of the dispenser to a level counter top (without legs), openings must be cut into the
counter. To do this, locate the desired position for the unit, then mark openings on the counter using
dimensions provided in Figure 2.
After direct counter top mounting, the unit must be sealed to the counter. Apply a continuous bead of NSF
International (NSF) silicone sealant (Dow 732 or equal) approximately 1/4-inch around the outside of the
unit. All excess sealant must be wiped away immediately.
Counter Mounting with Optional Anti-Tip Kit
Follow kit instructions for proper installation.
Failure to install the Anti-Tip Kit properly could result in a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in serious injury, death, or equipment damage.
NOTE: The dispenser MUST be place in a horizontal, level position and product and supply lines must be
flexible enough to permit shifting the position of the dispenser (when cleaning the area beneath the dispenser, etc...).
2. Move the fountain lift with the unit to the front edge of the counter
where it will be in
3. Carefully jack up the fountain lift so that the bottom of the unit is
flush or slightly above the level of the counter.
stalled.

Spire 4.1 Installation Manual
4. Carefully slide the unit off of the fountain lift and onto the counter.
NOTE: Make sure the unit is securely placed on the counter, but
leave open space in the counter cut-out for routing cables and
tubing through the counter top.
Figure 12
5. Gather cables and tubing from the unit that will require under-counter connections and route them through
an open space in the counter-top.
6. Finally, position the unit so that the drip tray sub-base is lined up in front of the cutout and is centered
appropriately over the cutout in the counter to ensure it is stable.
ICE MAKER MOUNTING
For proper ice maker and dispenser function, review the following before mounting an ice maker.
• When using the optional Spire Ice Maker Adapter Kit, refer to the installation instructions for that kit.
• An Ice level sensor (bin stat) should be installed at least 2” below hopper top. (Refer to the installation instructions
for the Ice maker).
• Ice bridge thickness is adjusted per Ice Maker manufacturer’s specification. (Refer to the installation instructions for
the Ice maker).
• Make sure agitator board off-cycle timer settings are set properly for ice type. (See “Off-Cycle Agitator Settings” on
page 35).
• Make sure Ice flow from the dispenser ice chute is sufficient for ice type. (See “Ice Chute Restrictor Adjustment” on
page 36).
• Note that if chew-able ice is used, additional parts and components must be ordered from Cornelius.
