CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: The dispenser must be cleaned and sanitized after installation and, thereafter, as required
by state and local health departments, or every three months minimum.
Continuous maintenance of this unit is a basic requirement for proper operation and sanitation, including
all support equipment utilized in the daily operation of this equipment.
1.
On a daily basis, clean the external cabinet (splash areas) with mild soap and warm water. Wash
the cup rest and drip pan in cleaning solution and rinse with warm tap water. DO NOT use strong
bleach or detergents or they may discolor and corrode the cabinet materials. DO NOT use steel
wool or other abrasive scouring pads.
2.
DO NOT use excessively hot water which may cause damage to plastic components.
3.
The water bath should be cleaned two to four times annually, depending upon local water
conditions and in accordance with state and local health departments.
4.
Cleaning of the refrigeration components should be performed by a qualified service person.
Disconnect power before removing the dispenser top. The dispenser top grilles should be cleaned
periodically to maintain efficient refrigeration. Condenser fins should be combed, if needed, to
maintain adequate circulation. Clogged condensers can lead to premature compressor failure.

This section details the following:
A. Sanitizing of System
B. Daily Cleaning
C. Ice Water Bath Maintenance
It will be necessary to periodically check and correct the water level of the water bath.
The frequency of filling will depend on the environment within which the dispenser is operating and
consequently, the degree of evaporation of water.
Noisy operation and/or reduced cooling capacity can be caused by insufficient water in the water bath.
The condenser coil will require periodical cleaning to ensure correct air flow and cooling at the
condenser. The frequency of cleaning will depend on the environment within which the dispenser
operates.
All refrigeration components have been factory lubricated for life-time service and will require no further
lubrication.

Water Circuits: Cleaning and sanitizing is not required for potable water circuits. Potable water lines
should remain connected and operational during the cleaning and sanitizing procedures for syrup
circuits.
NOTE: Carbonated Water Lines must remain connected and operational during cleaning and
sanitizing of the syrup circuits. Sanitizing of the valve without the carbonated water side
operational, may leave bacteria in the nozzle, diffuser, and syrup tube.
