Sanitation Requirements

System Requirements

•Water Source: 20 100 PSI. Must have a Minimum Flow Rate of 1/2 GPM (preferred flow rate is 1 gpm).

•Electrical: See attached schematic for your model.

Setup Steps

1.The unit should be level (left to right - front to back), on a secure surface.

2.Connect the water line to the water inlet fitting on the rear of the unit. Water volume flow to the machine should be consistent. Use tubing sized sufficiently to provide a minimum flow rate of one gallon per minute.

NSF International requires the following water connection:

1. Aquick disconnect or additional coiled tubing (at least 2x the depth of the unit) is required so that the unit can be moved for cleaning.

2.This unit must be installed with adequate backflow protection to comply with applicable federal, state and local codes.

3.Water pipe connections and fixtures directly connected to a potable water supply shall be sized, installed and maintained in accordance with federal, state, and local codes.

3.Connect the unit to electrical outlet with appropriate amperage rating (see serial tag on machine). Once power has been supplied to the unit, flip the toggle switch to the ‘ON’ position (located on the rear of the unit), the water tank will begin to fill. When the water level in the tank reaches the probe, the heating element will turn on.

4.Turn on the control panel by pressing the ON/OFF button.

5.The heating tank will require 20 to 30 minutes to reach operating temperature (200°F). The READY TO BREW light will come on.

6.Prior to brewing, dispense 12 ounces of hot water through the hot water faucet.

7.Run brew cycle of at least 16 ounces to purge the water line of any air trapped in the lines after filling.
