This equipment has been engineered to provide you with year-round dependable service when used
according to the instructions in this manual and standard commercial kitchen practices.
1. Always clean equipment thoroughly before use. (See general cleaning instructions.)
2. Check rating label for your model designation & electrical rating.
3. For best results, use stainless steel counter tops.
4. All dimensions in parenthesis in centimeters unless noted.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR EZ WELL SUPPLY LINE
1. Install PIN 54508, brass fitting in each end of the solenoid using Teflon tape (not supplied).
2. Wrap the threads of the fitting as shown in the figure NO.1.
3. Remove the nut from the brass fitting and the sleeve from the inside of the fitting.
4. Place the sleeve and the nut, nut first, over the W copper tubing, PIN 54578, supplied with the
equipment.
5. Install the line into the solenoid and tighten the nut finger tight.
6. Using a wrench, tighten the nut far enough to crush the sleeve and attach the line.
NOTE: Do not over tighten nut. Just enough pressure is required to stop water leaks.
7. Install the 3/8 x 1/4 adapter to the 3/8 stainless steel tube fitting using Teflon tape as shown in
figure NO.2.
8. Using the other end of the copper tube, install the line, nut, and sleeve to the adapter.
9. Tighten using the same procedure as before.
10. Turn on water supply and look for leaks. If any leaks are found, tighten the nuts until leak is stopped.
NOTE: With EZ-fill multi-well units, turning on any of the controls will start water to fill all of the wells.
To fill, turn one control to the first position and allow all wells to fill completely. After wells are full, set
controls to desired settings.
INSTALLATION MUST BE DONE BY AUTHORIZED PLUMBER.
