5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to set up your beverage dispenser:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Initial Placement: Place the main unit on a stable, level surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.
- Refrigerant Settling: After transportation, allow the unit to stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it into a power outlet. This allows the refrigerant to settle, preventing potential damage to the compressor.
- Install Stirring Rods: Insert the stirring rods into the center of each PC tank.
- Install Handles/Spouts: Attach the dispensing handles to the tanks. Ensure the pin of the handle is correctly aligned and secured.
- Place Drip Trays: Position the drip trays (water catchment boxes) directly below each dispensing spout on the main unit.
- Tank Placement: Carefully place the assembled PC tanks onto the main unit, ensuring they are securely seated.
- Power Connection: Once all components are assembled and the 24-hour settling period has passed, plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
6. Operating Instructions
- Filling the Tanks: Open the lid of each PC tank. Pour your desired cold beverage into the tanks. Do not overfill past the maximum fill line.
- Secure Lids: Close the lids securely on top of the tanks.
- Activate Cooling: Locate the power switches on the side or back of the unit. Turn on the cooling switch. The unit will begin to cool the beverages to the optimal temperature range of 45-54°F (7-12°C).
- Activate Stirring: If your beverage requires continuous mixing (e.g., juice with pulp), turn on the stirring switch. The stirring rods will rotate to ensure uniform temperature and prevent sedimentation.
- Dispensing Beverages: To dispense a beverage, place a cup under the dispensing spout. Press the stainless steel press switch to release the beverage. Release the switch to stop dispensing.
- Monitoring: Periodically check beverage levels and refill as needed.
7. Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for hygiene and extending the lifespan of your dispenser.
- Power Off: Always unplug the unit from the power outlet before cleaning.
- Empty Tanks: Drain any remaining beverages from the tanks.
- Disassemble: Remove the lids, PC tanks, stirring rods, and drip trays.
- Wash Removable Parts: The PC tanks, lids, stirring rods, and drip trays are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, wash them by hand with warm, soapy water and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely.
- Clean Spouts: Clean the dispensing spouts thoroughly to prevent residue buildup. Use a small brush if necessary.
- Clean Main Unit: Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the main unit in water.
- Lubricate Seals: Apply a small amount of food-grade Vaseline to the rubber sealing rings (tank seal rings and O-rings) periodically to maintain their flexibility and prevent leaks.
- Reassemble: Once all parts are clean and dry, reassemble the unit. Ensure all seals and components are correctly in place.
