Cleaning & Sanitizing Instructions
Proper cleaning and sanitizing of the faucet on your tea machine is necessary to delivery great tasting fresh brewed
iced tea. SPB and SPBH faucets do not require tools for servicing, cleaning, or sanitizing. Simplified construction
means fewer parts to wear out or replace.
To prevent bacterial growth, follow step by step sequence and refer to the diagram below. When ordering
replacement parts, be sure to specify our model number. The chart below shows common replacement parts.
