HOT DRINK SETUP/PROGRAMMING GUIDE

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 Hot Drink 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.
