Above these holes you will see the ends of some plastic tubing. It is important that the
tubing be aligned over these corners of the drip tray. The tubes needn’t be stuck into the
holes so long as they hang over the trap. The reason for this is that condensate forms on
the chill plate and will melt during auto-defrost cycles. The melt-water, then, drain into
the pan under the bottle deck where it is ducted to these tubes. In humid regions there
can be an appreciable amount of condensate water. In addition if you spilled wine in
the cabinet, it goes into the pan below the Bottle Deck and will also come out into the
Drip Tray –
when
it and the drain tubes are properly positioned.
GAS SUPPLY
There are a few different ways inert gasses can be supplied to the system.
n2’s and the wines in them like a very low pressure from 3-5 pounds (0.5 ATM). The red
knob regulator on our standard regulator assembly enables pressure adjustment from 0
to 10 pounds – assuring a safe operating in range. Do not exceed 10psi in this system! It’s
not good for your wine, your carpet, or your wallpaper.
Setting REGULATOR PRESSURE:
With the Red (Low Pressure) Regulator turned to OFF (fully Counterclockwise),
open by
turning Clockwise 3 full turns.
This will be approximately 3 psig (pounds of pressure). From
this point the pressure changes very quickly. ¼ turn will increase your pressure by 1.75 to 2
pounds. Just add 1/8
th
of a turn to be at a good starting point, then, after some trials,
adjust up or down to suit. Where you operate it isn’t critical and should be adjusted to
smooth flow quality and to suit the size and shape of your stemware.
The sketch in Appendix One shows the simple schematic setup of the gas supply.
Once the Supply is connected in one of the ways shown, make sure the Master Gas
Toggle Valve is switched down (OFF). Then check the five Bottle Valves making sure they
are Down (OFF). Your system may be fitted with Toggle Valves or compact Slide Valves.
The Toggle will snap down similar to a light switch.
The Slide Valve slides freely down most of its travel then requires an extra short push at
the bottom to assure a leak-free seal.
DISPENSING
When filling a glass, it is very important to
fully depress the Glass-Trip Lever on the Wine
Tap
. This opens the valve to its maximum and provides full flow. If you are hesitant and
