Use only grounded electrical outlets matching the nameplate rated
voltage.
Do not spray controls or outside of equipment with liquids or cleaning
agents.
The control box must be installed in a dry location.
Do not use an extension cord with this equipment. Do not plug this
equipment into a power strip or multi-outlet power cord.

fUnction and pUrpoSe
This product is intended to maintain the water level in a hot food unit at a
predetermined level.
This equipment is not intended for household, industrial or laboratory use.
operational Statement
This Auto-ll unit operates by lling a water reservoir that represents an
additional well. This reservoir has a oat switch installed that is closed when
the tank is empty. When the Auto-Fill system is turned on, the closed oat
switch allows power to ow to the solenoid valve, opening the solenoid valve
and allowing water to ow into the drain system through a check valve.
As water lls the drain line, it will ll each well and the Auto-Fill reservoir at
approximately the same rate. When the water reaches the oat switch, the
switch will open, stopping the power supply to the solenoid valve and the
solenoid valve will return to its normally closed position stopping the ow of
water into the system.
Unpacking the eqUipment and initial SetUp
When no longer needed, dispose of all packaging and materials in an
environmentally responsible manner. Have the unit installed only by qualied
service personnel. This unit must be installed in accordance with any local
and national plumbing codes.
A shut-off valve to control the fresh water supply to this product is
required.
This unit requires a 120Volt 15Amp electrical outlet.
Units using this auto-ll unit MUST NOT SHARE A DRAIN LINE with
any other units that do not have the same well depth.
Multiple units with the same well depth may share a drain line provided
they are level to each other within ¼”.
Maximum water pressure is 80 PSI.
NOTE: A water lter to remove particles that may clog the solenoid valve is
strongly recommended.
1. Remove all packing material and tape, as well as any protective plastic
from the equipment.
2. Clean any glue residue left over from the plastic or tape.
3. If installing this Auto-ll on a Vollrath drain manifold, cut off the pipe cap
from the end of the drain manifold assembly that is on the opposite end
of the main drain valve.
4. Solder the Auto-Fill manifold assembly (A) to the open end of the drain
line (B) from step 2 making sure the auto ll manifold is level with the
existing drain manifold. Figure 1.
Figure 1. Drain Line and Manifold Assembly .
5. For installation with Rectangular Drop-In For initial setup, mount the
Auto-Fill main body water reservoir (B) level to the bottom of any full size
Vollrath hot well (C) unit outer skin. Mark and use appropriate length
fasteners to mount reservoir (B) assembly in a level position (D) to the
bottom of the well assembly (A). See Figure 2.
6. For use with Round Soup Drop-In: Install the reservoir (B) 5/8”
(15 mm) below the bottom of a Vollrath round soup drop in unit outer
skin. See Figure 2.
1. The adjustment procedure above should be used with soup pots with
the understanding that the water level the unit will maintain is the water
level when there is a soup pot in use. The recommended 5/8” (15 mm)”
placement of the reservoir below the soup warmer (In the installation
section above) will maintain water at the water level mark in the well.
However at this level, if a soup insert is placed into the soup warmer that
has water lled to this mark without an insert in place, when inserted the
insert will displace some of the water up the sides of the soup warmer.
Because the water will level out in the entire system, this may cause the
reservoir tank of the auto-ll unit to overow.

WARNING
Water Contamination Hazard.
The overow drain line must not be connected
to any drain. It must be routed to an open drain
leaving a air gap separating the overow drain line
from the top of the open drain reservoir.
8. Using the section of the exible hose marked and/or coming from
outlet (E) side of the water tank, route this line to an OPEN FLOOR
DRAIN. This drain MUST not be directly plumbed to the auto ll unit. This
is done to prevent contamination of the fresh water supply. See Figure 4.
9. Using the section of the exible hose (A) coming from the “IN” or “I” side
of the solenoid (B) connect this hose to your fresh water source. See
Figure 4.
1. Plug the auto-ll control box into a grounded 120 Volt 15 Amp electrical
outlet.
2. Verify the main drain valve is in the CLOSED position to prevent water
from draining out. Be sure the individual well drains are in the OPEN
position to allow water to ll the wells from the drain manifold.
3. Turn the fresh water supply valve on. Start with the valve in the full open
position.
4. Turn on the Auto-ll system using the switch on the control assembly.
The red indicator light should come on indicating power is supplied to the
unit and water should ow into the system.
NOTE: If a continuous stream of water begins to ow out of the
overow tube when lling the unit, stop lling and drain the unit. Close
the water supply valve from step 3 part way to reduce water ow. Rell
unit. Continue this process until water does not ow out of the overow
when lling the unit. It is normal to have small amounts of water ow
out the overow while the unit is lling.
5. The auto-ll system may cycle on and off a few times, with delays,
before the water level is stabilized. The number of cycles and delays are
dependant on water pressure, number of wells lling, etc. Do not attempt
to adjust the water level until the system has fully stabilized. When the
system does not cycle on or off after a full minute, the system should be
stabilized.
6. When the system is stabilized, check the water level in each of the wells.
For proper water level control it is important the hot food unit be level.
Each well should have approximately the same amount of water.
7. If the water level is too low, loosen (do not remove) the screws used
to mount the reservoir assembly. Lift the reservoir assembly up
approximately 1/8”. Retighten the screws. There may again be a delay
before the system begins to ll. Allow the system to stabilize again and
re-check the water level.
8. Continue the adjustment until you have the water level adjusted to the
desired level. The water level should not be adjusted above 1/2” of water.
9. For most efcient heating and performance, use approximately 1/4” of
water in each well.

electrical components and cause a short circuit
or an electrical shock. Do not spray water or
cleaning products. Do not use equipment if power
cord is damaged or has been modied.
1. Check the drain valve of the Hot Food Unit. Make sure it is in the closed
position to prevent water from draining out. Generally, the valve is in the
off position when the handle of the valve forms a “T” with the body of the
valve.
2. Turn Auto-Fill control on. Operate the Vollrath Hot Food Table in
accordance with the Operating and Safety Instructions that were
provided with the Hot Food Table.
3. At the end of the serving period, turn the Auto-ll control off before
opening the drain valve for the Hot Food Unit. If the unit is drained with
the Auto-ll on, the unit will continue to ll and will not completely drain.
4. Follow the shut down and cleaning procedures that were sent with the
Hot Food Table. No special cleaning is required for the Auto-ll system.

Problem It might be caused by Course of Action
No Water in the wells.
Wells are not getting hot enough. There may be too much water in the wells. Change the water level to a maximum depth of 3/8”.
No Water in the wells. The reservoir assembly may be set too low. Loosen the fasteners and raise the assembly.
The water continues to run and the
water ows out the over ow tube.
The wells continue to ll beyond
the desired water level.
Check to make sure there is power supplied to
the Auto-ll unit.
There may be a clog in the drain assembly
preventing water from reaching the oat or the
drain overow may be clogged causing an air
lock in the Auto-Fill reservoir.
The oat switch may be installed incorrectly.
Verify the switch is ON. Verify the water supply valve is open.
Refer to the installation section and be sure all steps were followed
properly.
Make sure drain line is open and water is able to reach the
reservoir. Also, make sure the auto ll system is plugged in and
grounded.
Disconnect power and remove the control box cover on the outside
of the revisor tank. Check to see that the arrow molded into the
white plastic nut portion of the oat switch is pointing DOWN.
