2.1 General
The Elkay Manufacturing Company (Elkay) cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard during the installation, use or maintenance of this product. The warnings and instructions in this manual are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If a tool, procedure or work method that is not specifically recommended by Elkay is used, you must be satisfied that it is safe for yourself and others. You should also make sure that the product will not be damaged by the methods you choose.
Most work-related accidents are caused by failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous  situations before an accident occurs. As you install, use or maintain this product, you must be alert to potential hazards. You should also have the necessary training, skills
and tools to perform any installation or maintenance procedure.

2.2 Safety Alert Symbol and Signal Words
**** The safety alert symbol is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. The hazards are identified with this safety alert symbol along with a signal word such as “WARNING” or “CAUTION”.
Signal words help focus your attention on potential hazards. The signal words used in this manual are WARNING, CAUTION, NOTICE, SAFETY INSTRUCTION and Note. The safety messages must be followed to prevent personal injury or death as well as prevent product damage.

2.3 Safety Signal Words

Note: Contains additional information important to a procedure.
2.4 Personal Safety
WARNING
These warnings indicate a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death. Follow all instructions related to the installation, use or maintenance of this product (unit).

Personal Protection
Be sure to use all personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, sturdy work shoes and cut resistant gloves, whenever necessary to ensure your own safety.
To avoid eye injury, always wear protective glasses with side shields when working near CO2 tanks and lines. Make sure no one else can be injured by escaping CO2 gas should a hose or fitting break.
Wear sturdy shoes when unpacking the unit or moving it. DO NOT wear open-toed shoes or tennis shoes.
Wear protective cut resistant gloves during installation to protect against sharp edges from sheet metal components.

Shock and Electrocution Hazards
Contact with live electricity can cause serious bodily injury and in some cases, death.

**** In extremely rare cases, the Smartwell Countertop screen may briefly reboot during operation as a result of ESD (Electrostatic Discharge). There are no safety concerns
and no damage resulting to the unit.

DO NOT touch any electrical device with wet hands or allow water to come into contact with electrical devices. Water will conduct electric current to create a short circuit, resulting in injury or death.

WARNING
DO NOT create a short circuit between a source of electricity and a liquid by being in contact with both simultaneously.

Pressurized Vessel Hazards
Follow all safety recommendations from the CO2 tank supplier, including but not limited to:
A carbon dioxide cylinder is a pressure vessel and therefore has explosive capabilities.
Due to the possibility of an explosion which could result in personal injury or property damage, never allow carbon dioxide cylinder and its contents to reach a temperature exceeding 115° F.
If a CO2 gas leak is suspected immediately ventilate the contaminated area before attempting to repair the leak. People exposed to a high concentration of CO2 gas will experience tremors which are followed rapidly by loss of consciousness and suffocation.

DO NOT drop a CO2 cylinder or stike it with a foreign object. Protect cylinders from damage. Use a suitable hand truck to move cylinders; DO NOT drag, roll, slide or drop.
Both filled and empty cylinders should be stored indoors in a cool, dry, ventilated location away from any source of heat.
Chain or secure the cylinders in an upright position when in use or storage. Store full and empty cylinders separately.

Never lay the cylinders on its side. Liquid CO2 entering the gas regulator may cause problems (rupture the tank or gas line) due to rapid expansion of the liquid CO2. The gas regulator could freeze up, preventing the regulator from shutting down, allowing CO2 to continue to flow from the cylinder.
Gas cylinders must only be transported on an open back utility truck that is separate from the main body of the vehicle. DO NOT transport CO2 tanks in the passenger  compartment of a vehicle.

CAUTION
These cautions indicate a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. Follow all instructions related to installation and/or maintenance of this product.

Personal Protection from CO2 Gas
**** Follow all safety recommendations from the CO2 tank supplier, including but not limited to:

Indirect eye contact with CO2 gas may cause mild irritation. Direct eye contact with the liquefied gas can freeze the eye causing permanent eye damage or blindness.

CO2 gas displaces oxygen. Make sure there are no CO2 gas leaks in any part of the Smartwell beverage system.
Direct contact with the liquefied gas can chill or freeze the skin (frostbite).
Tripping Hazard
Personal injury can result from tripping over power cords, tools or other installation items. DO NOT leave items lying around the work area.
Use Proper Tools
Always use proper tools which are in good working condition during the installation of the product.

fig 55d. Determine and enter the flow rate for the Still Water and the flow rate for the Sparkling Water.
  1. Place a large graduated measuring cup (at least 32 fl. oz.) under the dispenser nozzle.

  2.  Using a stop watch, measure the volume of still water dispensed in exactly 10 seconds.

  3.  If the beverage is being measured in ounces, then flow rate is equal to the measured volume multiplied by 2.957.
    For example, 9 ounces in 10 seconds x 2.957 = 26.613. Enter 27 into the data field.

  4. If the beverage is being measured in milliliters, then flow rate is equal to the measured volume divided by 10.
    For example, 270 milliliters in 10 seconds divided by 10 = 27. Enter 27 into the data field.

  5. Repeat this process for the Sparkling Water Flow entry. The sparkling water will dispense a greater volume in the 10 seconds.

  6. Press Done once complete.

  7. Push the back button on the left corner of the set up screen to return to admin screen.
