WATER REQUIREMENTS
The best type of water for coffee brewing is normal hard (tap) water. If your location has chemically
softened water, you should do one of the following things:
• Have a non-softened supply line run to the merchandiser
• Contact your local water filter supplier for information and suggestions
Well water can also be used in the HotCup Machine. However, you should have it checked
for levels of carbonates and alkalies. Contact your water filter supplier if these values are
relatively high.
What is the Water Pressure at Your Location?
•It should be no less than: 10 psi ( 69.0 KPa) at 1/2 gallon/minute
•And no more than: 80 psi (522.0 KPa) at 1/2 gallon/minute
If you're not sure about the pressure and flow rate, check with your water company.
What to do With the Water Supply Line:
• Locate the supply line at the rear of your merchandiser.
• Equip the line with a shut-off valve.
Flush the water supply line before connecting it to the merchandiser. A minimum of five gallons is
usually required before connecting the merchandiser to the supply line. DO NOT flush the
merchandiser water system. If you do, you might introduce water line contaminants into the
merchandiser.
II. POSITIONING THE MERCHANDISER
You can position this merchandiser anywhere in a bank of machines. It can even be placed on the
end flush against a side wall. Be sure you leave enough room in front of the merchandiser for the
door to move freely.
BE SURE THE REAR OF THE MERCHANDISER IS AT LEAST 6"
AWAY FROM THE WALL. THIS WILL ALLOW WARM, MOIST AIR
TO BE VENTED OUT OF THE MACHINE'S INTERIOR.
