4. Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the dispenser from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
- Placement: Position the dispenser on a sturdy, level counter or table. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit, especially at the sides and rear where air vents are located.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, thoroughly clean all parts that will come into contact with beverages. Refer to the 'Cleaning and Maintenance' section for detailed instructions.
- Refrigerant Settling: After transportation, allow the unit to stand upright and unplugged for a minimum of 24 hours. This allows the refrigerant to stabilize, preventing potential damage to the compressor.
- Assembly: Ensure the tanks are correctly seated on the base, and the dispensing spouts are securely attached. Verify that all sealing rings are properly in place to prevent leaks.
- Power Connection: Plug the dispenser into a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet that matches the voltage requirements of the unit.

5. Operating Instructions
- Fill Tanks: Open the lids of the beverage tanks and pour your desired cold beverages into each tank. Do not overfill beyond the maximum fill line.
- Activate Cooling: Press the 'Cooling' switch to turn on the refrigeration system. 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, milkshakes), press the 'Stirring' switch. The internal stirring rods will rotate to maintain a consistent temperature and prevent sedimentation.
- Dispensing: Place a cup under the desired dispensing spout. Press the stainless steel press switch to release the beverage. Release the switch to stop dispensing.
- Monitoring: Regularly check beverage levels and refill as needed. Ensure the drip trays are emptied periodically to prevent overflow.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for hygiene and extending the lifespan of your beverage dispenser.
Daily Cleaning:
- Power Off: Turn off both the cooling and stirring switches, then unplug the unit from the power outlet.
- Empty Tanks: Drain any remaining beverages from the tanks.
- Disassemble: Carefully remove the tanks, lids, stirring rods, and dispensing spouts.
- Wash Components: Wash all removable parts with warm, soapy water. Use a soft brush for thorough cleaning. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Clean Base: Wipe down the stainless steel base with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the base in water.
- Dry: Ensure all components are completely dry before reassembly to prevent bacterial growth.
- Empty Drip Trays: Remove and empty the water receiving trays, then wash and dry them.
Periodic Maintenance:
- Inspect sealing rings for wear and tear. Replace if necessary to prevent leaks.
- Ensure the ventilation grilles on the sides and back of the unit are free from dust and debris to maintain efficient cooling.
- The provided Vaseline can be applied sparingly to rubber seals to maintain their flexibility and extend their lifespan.
