Unpacking Instructions

Carefully unpack the beverage dispenser and inspect immediately for shipping damage. Your dispenser was shipped in a carton designed to give it maximum protection in normal handling. It was thoroughly inspected before leaving the factory. In case of damage, contact the shipper.

After the machine has been unpacked and placed on a counter, pull out the stainless steel drip tray. It should contain the following:

• 1/4” Flare Water Inlet Fitting.

Water Inlet Connection:

NOTICE: This equipment is to be installed to comply with the applicable Federal, State, or local plumbing codes having jurisdiction. In addition:

1.A quick disconnect water connection or enough extra coiled tubing (at least 2x the depth of the unit) so that the machine can be moved for cleaning underneath.

2.An approved backflow prevention device, such as a double check valve to be installed between the machine and the water supply.

The dispenser is equipped with a ¼" Flare Water Inlet fitting which is located on the left side in the back of the base (when looking at the machine from the front).

Water pipe connecting and fixtures directly connected to a potable water supply shall be sized, installed, and maintained in accordance with Federal, State, and Local codes.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED:

A WATER SHUT-OFF VALVE and A WATER FILTER, preferably a combination Charcoal/Phosphate Filter, to remove odors and inhibit lime and scale build up in the machine.

Note: In areas with extremely hard water, a water softener must be installed in order to prevent mineral deposits that could result in malfunctioning of the equipment and in order not to void the warranty.

1.Install legs if equipped (PIC5 and PIC6).

2.Install drip tray in front of machine.

3.Connect the 1/4" male flare fitting to the inlet valve on the back of the machine.

4.Flush the water line to purge any debris from the supply line.

5.Connect a 1/4" water line to the 1/4" male flare connection and turn the water supply on.

a.Minimum water pressure to the machine: 20 psi

b.Maximum water pressure to the machine: 100 psi

6.Plug the power cord into a proper electrical outlet.

7.Turn the power switch to the “ON” position and allow the water tank to fill. The machine will make a subtle hissing sound when this occurs. Allow 3-5 minutes for fill time depending on inlet water pressure.

8.After the water tank has filled, allow 15-60 minutes for the water to reach operating temperature. (Green ready light will illuminate when tank is up to preset temperature.)

9.Remove the powder hoppers, rotate the dispense elbow to the “up” position, and fill with desired powder product. IMPORTANT: Check to make sure that the auger inside the hopper is correctly installed prior to filling. Reinstall powder hoppers. Turn dispense elbow down toward the mixing funnel.

10.Peel protective film off photo merchandiser cover.

11.Install flavor decals as needed. (Place one on each hopper, and place the corresponding decal on the dispense section of the front door of the unit)

Note: If water supply is allowed to run dry, watchdog timer circuit may disable fill circuit. If this occurs, ensure adequate water supply for machine, then reset machine by turning power switch “off” for 1 second and then turning the power switch back “ON”. Watchdog timer might engage on initial fill on PIC 5 and PIC 6.
