Servicing
INSPECTION FOR DAMAGE
When you receive the dispenser, inspect the exterior of the shipping container for damage. Note
any damage in detail.
Uncrate the dispenser at once (see instructions below). Examine the dispenser for damage.
Report any damage to the transportation company immediately. File a claim for damages
promptly. Your immediate inspection protects you against loss since A.C. Dispensing Equipment
Inc. is not responsible for damages incurred during shipment.
Always plug the dispenser into an approved electrical outlet.
The dispenser includes a microcontroller and must be operated on
grounded electrical wiring at all times.
Unplug the dispenser from its electrical source before servicing.
Do not immerse the dispenser in water.
Observe all safety precautions with this dispenser that you would
with any electrical appliance.
FlavorShot dispensers deliver automatically controlled portions of liquid
sugar and flavors for addition to coffee and other beverages. The
dispensers deliver flavors in pre-set, portion-controlled quantities. These
dispensers are not to be used for products needing refrigeration.
Capacity: Weight: Dimensions:
8 tanks x 950 ml 65 lbs L x W x H
Be sure the current at the power source receptacle is: 120 V AC, 15 amp,
single phase, 60 Hz.
The power cord is furnished with a UL-approved 3-prong attachment plug.
This plug is designed to fit a receptacle with provisions for a grounding
stud. The dispenser includes a microcontroller and must be operated on
grounded electrical wiring at all times. Failure to do so will void the
warranty.
Electrical servicing must be done by a qualified technician.
The warranty will be null and void if the dispenser is serviced by unqualified
personnel.

UNCRATING THE DISPENSER
WARNING: Always lift the dispenser from the bottom. Do not lift the dispenser by the door – that
may damage the dispenser.
To uncrate:
Step
Action
1
Position the box with the “This Side Up” arrow pointing upward.
2
Turn the dispenser box on its side.
3
Remove the packaging material at the bottom.
4
Install legs by screwing each leg into the bottom of the dispenser.
Tighten by hand until snug.
5
Turn the dispenser box to the upright position.
6
Remove the cardboard box by lifting it up and off. Remember not to lift
the dispenser by the door.
7
Remove the plastic protective covering from the stainless steel exterior
of the dispenser, by peeling it off. To peel, hold the dispenser firmly at
the top and peel from top to bottom.
8
Attach the catch tray to the dispenser.
9
Prior to use, read the Operations Manual. Store it for future use.
NOTE: The box may be stored for future shipping.
RESHIPMENT
Packaging for re-shipment is done in the reverse order of uncrating. If packaging is not available,
it can be purchased locally, or from our factory by request. Any damage occurring in transit of the
returned goods caused by improper packaging is not considered a defect covered by warranty.
7
INSTALLING THE FLAVORSHOT DISPENSER
Step
Action
1
Place the dispenser where it will best serve your operation.
2
Make sure that counters, platforms, or shelves are strong
enough to support the weight of the dispenser and full
containers of product.
The empty dispenser weighs 65 pounds.
3
Place the dispenser at a serving height so that staff drawing
product from the dispenser can operate the buttons as well as
easily place and remove cups.
4
Do not block the vents at the back of the dispenser. The vents
must be free and open to ensure proper operation of the
ventilation system and to prevent over-heating and damage to
the system. Maintain an air space on all sides of the
dispenser.
5
Do not place the dispenser too close to a source of heat or
moisture.
6
The dispenser should be placed on a level surface or leveled
by adjusting the legs. Use a bubble level to ensure the
dispenser is level.
7
Do not remove the legs from the dispenser or allow the
dispenser to sit flat on the counter.
Make sure the adjustable 4-inch legs are in place at the four
corners of the bottom of the dispenser. Note that these legs
are adjustable and they are secure even though they may
appear to be loose.
Removal of the legs automatically voids the warranty.
8
STARTING THE FLAVORSHOT DISPENSER
WARNING: Before starting the dispenser, make certain that all Installation instructions have been
followed.
Step
Action
1
Plug the power cord into a 110/120 V AC electrical outlet.
2
Turn the Power Switch “ON”. The power switch is recessed on
the front lower left side of the dispenser.
The LCD window will display “Wait” and a series of 10 dots will
appear. This indicates that all 10 tank pumps are operating. If
the symbol ^ appears anywhere in the row of dots, it indicates
that pump has failed to register. For example, “Wait …..^…”
Indicates the pump for tank 6 is not registered and pump 6 will
not dispense flavor. See Troubleshooting.
Otherwise, “Wait ………” indicates all nine pumps are
operating.
3
Make sure the dispenser door is closed.
Push one of the flavor buttons and then a size button on the
front panel and listen to hear the pump cycle. This confirms
that the dispenser is operating.
CLEAN BEFORE USE
BEFORE FIRST USE OF THE DISPENSER
Make sure you clean the dispenser thoroughly. See Cleaning Instructions for the Exterior of
the Dispenser and for Dispenser Components.
All flavor tanks, caps, and pumps must be cleaned before use.
