2. Remove the drip tray assembly, drip tray bracket, and splash panel assembly from the parts box.
3. Place a set of keyholes in the drip tray bracket over the lower two screws in the panel below the hopper access door; push down gently and tighten the screws.
4. Place the set of keyholes in the splash panel over the upper two screws and position so the screws are between the holes.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

CAUTION – The dispenser must be disconnected from the power source until specified in Electrical Hook-Up. The 120-volt version of this dispenser has an attached cordset. The mating connector must be a NEMA 5-15R. The 120/208-volt version of this dispenser has an attached corset. The mating connector must be a NEMA 14-20R. To access the terminal block for high voltage models without a corset, remove the left side panel.
Requirements for brewers without an attached cord set are as follows:
Refer to Data Plate on the Dispenser, and local/national electrical codes to determine circuit requirements.

NOTE: This electrical service consists of 2 current carrying conductors (L1 and L2) and a separate conductor for earth ground.
Electrical Hook-Up
CAUTION – Improper electrical installation will damage electronic components. 1. An electrician must provide electrical service as specified. 2. Using a voltmeter, check the voltage and color-coding of each conductor at the electrical source. 3. Connect the dispenser to the power source. 4. If plumbing is to be hooked up later be sure the dispenser is disconnected from the power source.
If plumbing has been hooked up, the dispenser is ready for Initial Fill & Heat.

PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

This dispenser must be connected to a cold or hot water system with operating pressure between 20 and 90 psi (0.138 – 0.620 mPa) from a 1/2″ or larger supply line. A shut-off valve should be installed in the line before the dispenser. Install a regulator in the line when pressure is greater than 90 psi (0.620 mPa) to reduce it to 50 psi (0.345 mPa). The water inlet fitting is 1/4″ flare.
NOTE: Bunn-O-Matic recommends 1/4″ copper tubing for installations of less than 25 feet and 3/8″ for more than 25 feet from the 1/2″ water supply line. At least 18 inches of an FDA-approved flexible beverage tubing, such as reinforced braided polyethylene or silicone, before the dispenser, will facilitate movement to clean the countertop. Bunn-O-Matic does not recommend the use of a saddle valve to install the dispenser. The size and shape of the hole made in the supply line by this type of device may restrict water flow.
As directed in the International Plumbing Code of the International Code Council and the Food Code Manual of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), this equipment must be installed with adequate backflow prevention to comply with federal, state, and local codes. For models installed outside the U.S.A., you must comply with the applicable Plumbing /Sanitation Code for your area.
NOTE: If a backflow preventer is required by code, a shock arrestor should be installed between the backflow preventer and dispenser. Installing the shock arrestor as close to the dispenser as possible will provide the best results.
NOTE: Water pipe connections and fixtures directly connected to a potable water supply shall be sized, installed, and maintained in accordance with federal, state, and local codes.
Plumbing Hook-up

1. Flush the water line and securely attach it to the elbow fitting on the bottom of the dispenser. 2. Turn on the water supply.

Initial Fill & Heat

1. Turn on the water supply and connect the dispenser to the power source.
2. Water will automatically flow into the tank to the proper level and then shut off. This will take less than ten minutes. A tank full of cold water will take approximately eighty minutes for the water to heat on 120-volt versions, and forty minutes on 120/240 and 220-240 volt versions.
3. Fill the hopper(s) with the dry product to be dispensed.

Preset Tank Temperature
Tank temperatures have been preset at the factory to 180°F (82°C). Bunn recommends that to provide the best quality beverage, the installer adjust the tank temperature to the powder product manufacturer’s recommended temperature for the hot powder product being used.
Liquid Level Control
The system automatically maintains the hot water tank’s level by energizing the refill solenoid when the water level drops below the liquid level probe. If the system has not successfully refilled in 10 minutes, a refill error occurs. When a refill error occurs, the refill solenoid is de-energized. Once the cause of the refill error has been investigated and cured, the system can be reset by either disconnecting (for at least 5 seconds) and then reconnecting the power to the machine, or by entering one of the program modes (see Programming Modes.)
Rinse Timer
The dispenser is shipped from the factory with the rinse timer disabled. To enable the rinse timer, refer to Programming the Dispenser and select yes in the “Rinse Alarm ?” screen; set timer to the desired time and exit the programming mode.
When enabled, the rinse timer automatically keeps track of the time since the dispenser was last run through a rinse sequence. If the dispenser detects that a rinse sequence has  ot been run for the desired time, a message will appear on the LCD display. If the Lockout is set, after an additional 4 hours, a rinse cycle has still not been run, the LCD display will display a message, and the hopper drives will be disabled until a rinse sequence has been run. continued

PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

Running A Rinse Sequence

1. Place the Normal/Program/Rinse switch (page 9) in the “rinse” position.
2. Sequentially at each position, press all of the dispense switches. The dispenser will run for 10 seconds with the hopper(s) disabled.
3. As each position is rinsed, the LCD display will show which position is being rinsed and count down from 10 seconds. 4. After all positions have been rinsed, return the Normal/Program/Rinse switch to the “Normal” position.

Dispenser Use – Self Serve

1. Simply place a cup on the drip tray beneath the desired dispensing tip.
2. Press the button to froth and dispense the beverage
3. Release the button when the cup is approximately 3/4 full and allow the mixing chamber to drain.
   NOTE: The mixing chamber must drain at the end of each dispense.

Dispenser Use – Portion Control

1. Simply place a cap on the drip tray beneath the desired dispensing tip.
2. Press the dispense button momentarily, then release.
3. Let the mixing chamber completely drain before removing the cup.

Hopper Dispense Rate Of Product
The hopper dispense rates are preset at the factory. With 22 tooth gear and auger wire, the preset dispense rate is approximately 3 to 5 grams per second. With 30 tooth gear and auger wire, the preset dispense rate is approximately 5 to 7 grams per second. The hopper dispense rates can be individually programmed to a range of dispense rates from approximately 1.5 to 12 grams per second, by following the procedures described in Programming Modes.
Draining The Hot Water Tank
CAUTION – The dispenser must be disconnected from the power source throughout these steps.

1. Disconnect the dispenser from the power source.
2. Shut off and disconnect the incoming water supply.
3. Remove the drip tray and access panels below the door.
4. Pull the clamped end of the silicone tube out of the dispenser and direct it into a drain or a container large enough to hold the volume of water in the tank (7.3 gal for IMIX-5 and 4.4 gals for IMIX-3).
5. Make certain the shut-off clamp is locked tightly on the tube, then remove the snap-type clamp and plug from the end of the tube.
6. Carefully release the shut-off clamp to let the water drain from the tank.
   NOTE: The dispenser must be refilled using the INITIAL FILL & HEAT steps before reconnecting to the power source.

DOOR GRAPHIC AND LENS INSTALLATION
Remove the clear lens from the door of the machine. Place the door graphic into position and reinstall the clear lens over the door graphic.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Bunn-O-Matic Corporation recommends that preventive maintenance be performed at regular intervals. Maintenance should be performed by a qualified service technician. For Technical Service, contact Bunn-O-Matic Corporation at 1-800-286-6070.
