IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Intended Use
The dispenser is for indoor use only. This appliance is to be installed in a location where its use can be overseen by trained personnel. This unit is not a toy. Children should be supervised not to play with appliance. It should not be used by children or infirm persons without supervision. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be performed by children without supervision. The min/max ambient operating temperature for the dispenser is 4°C to 41°C (40°F to 105°F). Do not operate unit below minimum ambient operation conditions. Should freezing occur, cease operation of the unit and contact authorized service technician. Service, cleaning and sanitizing should be accomplished only by trained personnel. Applicable safety precautions must be observed. Instruction warnings on the product being used must be followed.

Electrical Warning
Appliance must be supplied by 24 VDC. Check dispenser name plate label, located inside tower panels, for the correct electrical requirements of unit. Do not plug into a wall electrical outlet unless the current shown on the name plate label agrees with local current available. Follow all local electrical codes when making connections. Each dispenser must have a separate electrical circuit. Do not use extension cords with this unit. Do not ‘gang’ together with other electrical devices on the same outlet. The keyswitch does not disable the line voltage to the transformer primary. Always disconnect electrical power to the unit to prevent personal injury before attempting any internal maintenance. The resettable breaker switch should not be used as a substitute for unplugging the dispenser from the power source to service the unit. Only qualified personnel should service internal components of electrical control housing. Make sure that all water lines are tight and units are dry before making any electrical connections!

Carbon Dioxide

• WARNING: Carbon Dioxide (CO2 ) is a colorless, noncombustible gas with a light pungent odor. High percentages of CO2 may displace oxygen in the blood.
• WARNING: Prolonged exposure to CO2 can be harmful. Personnel exposed to high concentrations of CO2 gas will experience tremors which are followed by a loss of consciousness and suffocation.
• WARNING: If a CO2 gas leak is suspected, immediately ventilate the contaminated area before attempting to repair the leak.
• WARNING: Strict attention must be observed in the prevention of CO2 gas leaks in the entire CO2 and soft drink system.

Water Notice
Appliance is not suitable for installation where a water jet could be used. Provide an adequate potable water supply. Water pipe connections and fixtures directly connected to a potable water supply must be sized, installed, and maintained according to federal, state, and local laws. The water supply line must be at least a 3/8 inches (9.525 mm) pipe with a minimum of 20 PSI (0.137 MPA) line pressure, but not exceeding a maximum of 50 PSI (0.345 MPA). Water pressure exceeding 50 PSI (0.345 MPA) must be reduced to 50 PSI (0.345 MPA) with the provided pressure regulator. Use a filter in the water line to avoid equipment damage and beverage off-taste. Check the water filter periodically, as required by local conditions. The water supply must be protected by means of an air gap, a backflow prevention device or another approved method to comply with NSF standards. A leaking inlet water check valve will allow carbonated water to flow back through the pump when it is shut off and contaminate the water supply. Ensure the backflow prevention device complies with ASSE and local standards. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure compliance.
