Plumbing Requirements, Initial Fill & Heat

PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

This dispenser must be connected to a COLD WATER system with operating pressure between 20 and 90 psi from a 1⁄2" or larger supply line. A shut-off valve should be installed in the line before the dispenser. Install a regulator in the line when pressure is greater than 90 psi to reduce it to 50 psi. The water inlet fitting is 1⁄4" flare.

NOTE - Bunn-O-Matic recommends 1⁄4" copper tubing for installations of less than 25 feet and 3⁄8" for more than 25 feet from the 1⁄2" water supply line. At least 18 inches of an FDA approved flexible beverage tubing, such as reinforced braided polyethylene or silicone, before the brewer will facilitate movement to clean the countertop. It can be purchased direct from Bunn-O-Matic (part number 00326-0000). Bunn-O-Matic does not recommend the use of a saddle valve to install the brewer. The size and shape of the hole made in the supply line by this type of device may restrict water flow.

This equipment must be installed to comply with the Basic Plumbing Code of the Building Officials and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA) and the Food Service Sanita- tion Manual of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Plumbing Hook-Up

1.Securely attach the short piece of tubing on the water strainer assembly to the inlet fitting on the bottom of the dispenser.

2.Flush the water line and securely attach it to the flare fitting on the water strainer assembly.

3.Turn-on the water supply.

INITIAL FILL & HEAT

CAUTION - The dispenser must be disconnected from the power source throughout the initial set-up, except when specified in the instructions.

1.Connect the dispenser to the power source and turn-on the water supply.

2.Water will automatically flow into the tank to the proper level and then shut-off. This will take less than five minutes.

3.When the tank is full of water, open the front door and place the heater switch in the “ON” (lower) position. A tank full of cold water will take approximately forty minutes for the water to heat on 120 volt versions, and 20 minutes on 120/208 or 120/240 volt versions.

During this waiting period, complete these dispenser set-up steps:

a.Place the drip tray in front of the dispenser. Set the drip tray cover in place.

b.Place a set of keyholes in the cup locator plate over the shoulder screws beneath the hopper access door and push down gently.

c.Fill the hopper(s) with the dry product to be dispensed.
