products. A pressure regulator provided in the install kit reduces the
pressure to an optimal 50 psi.
NOTICE
Water pressure that does not meet
the minimum pressure requirement
of 40 psi can cause damage to the
internal components. Low pressure may also affect the
performance of the unit and the taste of the beverage.
2. A standard 3/8” diameter inlet water line is recommended (copper or
FDA-safe plastic).
4.2 Electricity
a. Access to one standard 120-Volts electric wall receptacle is
required. The unit must be close enough to socket that the
supplied power cord reaches without stress or stretching.
NOTICE
DO NOT connect the unit to a
power strip and DO NOT use an
extension cord.
b. A minimum 20 Amp GFCI outlet on a dedicated circuit is
recommended with a minimum current of 5 amps. Prior to
installation, ensure that it is possible to disconnect the power
supply either by removing the plug or by circuit breaker.
