SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Carefully read all safety messages in this manual. Learn how to operate the Flavor Shot Bever­age Towerunit properly. Do not allow anyone to operate the unit without proper training and keep
it in proper working condition. Unauthorized modifications to the Flavor Shot Beverage Tower
may impair function and/or safety and affect the life of the unit.

CARBON DIOXIDE WARNING

DANGER: Carbon Dioxide (CO2) displaces oxygen. Exposure to a high concentration of CO2 gas
causes tremors, which are followed rapidly by loss of consciousness and suffocation. If a CO2 gas leak
is suspected, particularly in a small area, immediately ventilate the area before repairing the leak. CO
lines and pumps should not be installed in an enclosed space. An enclosed space can be a cooler or
small room or closet. This may include convenience stores with glass door self serve coolers. If you
suspect CO2 may build up in an area, venting of the B-I-B pumps and / or CO2 monitors should be utilized.

QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL

WARNING: Only trained and certified electrical and plumbing technicians should service this unit.
All wiring and plumbing must conform to national and local codes.

2

SHIPPING, STORAGE, AND RELOCATION

CAUTION: Before shipping, storing, or relocating this unit, syrup systems must be sanitized. After
sanitizing, all liquids (sanitizing solution and water) must be purged from the unit. A freezing envi­ronment causes residual sanitizing solution or water remaining inside the unit to freeze, resulting
in damage to internal components.

ADDITIONAL WARNINGS

Installation and start-up of this equipment should be done by a qualified service technician. Operation,
maintenance, and cleaning information in this manual are provided for the user/operator of the equipment.

Save these instructions.

SAFETY

GROUNDING IN STRUCTIONS

WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. Connect to a properly grounded outlet only.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment grounding conductor. If rep air or replacement of the cord or plug
is necessary , do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a
qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or
if in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

WARNING – When using electric appliances, basic precautions should always be followed, in­cluding the following:

a) Read all the instructions before using the appliance.
b) To reduce he risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when an appliance is used

near children.
c) Do not contact moving parts.
d) Only use attachments recommended or sold by the manufacturer.
e) Do not use outdoors.
f) For a cord-connected appliance, the following shall be included:

• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing or cleaning.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance

malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the
nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair , or electrical or mechanical
adjustment.

g) For a permanently connected appliance – Turn the power switch to the off position

when the appliance is not in use and before servicing or cleaning.
h) For an appliance with a replaceable lamp – always unplug before replacing the lamp.

Replace the bulb with the same type.
i) For a grounded appliance – Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See Ground-

ing Instructions.

OPERATION

STARTING YOUR FLAVOR SHOT BEVERAGE SYSTEM

Upon completion of the beverage dispenser and / or system installation, all tubing, dispenser , and system compo­nents must be cleaned and sanitized prior to use.

NOTE: At installation equipment, dispensers, and tubing get moved through many environments, dirt, dust, chases,
insulation, drywall, etc. It is an important procedure and best practice to address cleaning to deliver the best quality
drink to your customer.

Clean and sanitize the water and syrup circuits according to instructions provided in this manual. Clean and sani­tize the dispenser components according to instructions provided in this manual. Seal to counter top when no legs
are used with the unit. Consult and use local health codes if a discrepancy occurs between this manual and your
local health codes.

BEVERAGE VALVES

Post-mix beverage valves are designed to precisely meter the flow of both water and syrup to obtain the proper
mixing ratio. The syrup and soda water components of the post-mix beverage are mixed as they leave the bever­age valve.

3. Remove the cap located opposite the tubing con­nection on the bag-in-box connector. Alternate: use
old BIB bag.

4. Place bag-in-box connector in the rinse (step 2A).
Draw clean tap water through the system and out
the beverage valve until all syrup is flushed from
the system.

5. Place bag-in-box connector in the detergent bucket
(step 2B). Draw detergent solution through the sys­tem and out the beverage valve for 2 minutes. Then
allow the remaining detergent stay in the system
for 5 minutes.

6. Remove the valve nozzles and diffusers, as de­scribed in the daily cleaning instructions. Using a
clean cloth or a soft bristle brush, scrub the nozzle,
the diffuser, the bottom of the valve and the cup
lever, if applicable.

7. Place the valve diffusers and nozzles in sanitizing
solution for 20 minutes, then replace them on the
beverage valve.

8. Place bag-in-box connector in the sanitizing bucket
(step 2C). Draw sanitizing solution through the sys­tem and out the valve for 10 minutes. Allow the
sanitizing solution to remain in the system for a mini­mum of 20 minutes.

9. Replace the plastic cap opposite the tubing con­nection on the bag-in-box connector (or remove
bag if alternate old BIB bag is used).

10. Reconnect the bag-in-box connector to the syrup
bag-in-box.

1 1. Draw syrup through the system and out the bever-

age valve until all sanitizing solution is flushed from
the system.
