PREPARATION FOR OPERATION
All Units as shipped will dispense only non-carbonated drinks.
Purging the Concentrate Systems
1. Place a cup or other container under the nozzle.
2. Operate each valve in turn by pressing the Cancel/Pour button and observe concentrate flow. Purging is
completed when all air is removed from the system. If concentrate continues to show air bubbles, check
tightness of tubing connections.
Purging the Water System
1. Place a cup or other container under the nozzle.
2. Operate each valve in turn by pressing the Cancel/Pour button and observe water flow. Purging is com-
pleted when all air is removed from the system.
ADJUSTING WATER-TO-CONCENTRATE RATIO OF DISPENSED PRODUCT
Note: The water flow rate must be set before any attempt is made to set the water-to-concentrate ratio.
Concentrate must be disconnected while setting the water flow rate. Water should be dispensed by pressing the
Cancel/Pour switch on the control panel.
1. Using a graduated cup and a stop watch or second hand on your watch, set the flow rate to 2.5 ounces per
second. This is equal to 10 ounces in 4 seconds
Note: After the water flow rate is set, DO NOT adjust the water flow rate unless the flow rate is wrong.
DO NOT adjust the water flow rate to set the water-to-concentrate ratio. Anytime the water flow rate is
changed the water-to-concentrate ratio must be checked and adjusted as necessary.
The water-to-concentrate ratio is measured by use of a ratio cup having two chambers into which the water and
concentrate are dispensed. The ratio, if incorrect, is adjusted by turning the related concentrate flow regulator
adjusting screw located on each concentrate valve.
1. Dole Dispensing Valve

SANITIZING THE SYSTEM (USA)
IMPORTANT: Only trained personnel should perform sanitizing procedures.
WARNING: Wear protective eyewear to avoid eye injury.
The syrup systems must be sanitized once every six months; whenever there is a flavor change, or an off flavor
is noted in the product. This is the ‘‘ambient’’ sanitizing procedure whereby syrup is first flushed from the system
with water, then a detergent is introduced, followed by a second water flush. A sanitizer is next placed in the
system and it is finally purged with concentrate.
SANITIZING THE BAG-IN-BOX CONCENTRATE SYSTEMS
This is a procedure for sanitizing concentrate systems of the Liquid Base Beverage Dispenser.
SANITIZE THE BAG-IN-BOX SYSTEM AS FOLLOWS:
1. Disconnect the concentrate tube-end connectors from the bag-in-box containers.
2. Wash each tube-end fitting in warm water to remove any concentrate accumulation.
3. Install a bag valve (this can be cut from an empty bag-in-box container) on each concentrate tube-end con-
nector. This opens the tube-end fitting so detergent, sanitizing solution and flush water can be pumped into
the system.
4. Fill a clean plastic 5-gallon container with potable (drinking) water.
5. Place the tube-end connectors (with installed bag valves) into the water.
6. Place a waste container under the valve dispensing nozzle.
7. Operate each concentrate valve by pressing the Canel/Pour button to cause concentrate to flow from the
nozzle.
8. Operate each valve until only water is dispensed.
9. Remove the concentrate tube-end connectors from the water.
10. Fill the 5-gallon container with potable (drinking) water at room temperature (70 degrees to 100 degrees F)
and add 3/4 ounce per gallon of water (6 ml per liter) of Diversey DIVOFLOW 185, or equivalent detergent.
Detergent must contain sodium hydroxide, be non-perfumed, and have low-sudsing characteristics. The
detergent should be able to be rinsed off easily. The sodium hydroxide should be between 2 percent and
10 percent in the concentrated detergent.
11. Mix the contents of the container thoroughly.
12. Place the concentrate tube-end connectors (with bag valves installed) into the detergent.
13. Operate each valve until the water is displaced by the detergent.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to metallic parts of the system, do not allow the detergent
solution to remain in a concentrate system longer than 15 minutes.
14. Allow the detergent to remain in the concentrate tubing for at least 10 minutes, but no longer
than 15 minutes.

10 630460001
15. Remove the tube-end connectors from the detergent.
16. Dispose of unused detergent in a sanitary sewer, not in a storm drain. Wash the container thoroughly.
17. Fill the 5-gallon container with potable (drinking) water. Place the tube-end connectors in the water.
18. Hold each dispensing valve open until the detergent is displaced by the water.
WARNING: Phenolphthalein must be kept away from children. It is a powerful laxative and
may cause serious illness if taken internally.
19. Dispense a one-ounce sample of water from the nozzle. Test the sample using a drop of phenolphthalein
indicator. (This indicator becomes pink-colored in the presence of even small amounts of detergent) When
the indicator remains clear, all detergent has been removed.
20. Remove the tube-end connectors from the water.
21. Fill the 5-gallon container with 4 gallons (15.1 liters) of water at a temperature between 70 degrees F. to a
maximum of 100 degrees F.
22. Add 1.0 oz. (29.57 ml) of H.B. Fuller Monarch C–S or equivalent sanitizer [to provide a 200 ppm
(200 mg/liter) active quaternary sanitizing solution] to the container. Mix thoroughly.
23. Place the concentrate tube-end connectors in the sanitizing solution.
24. Operate each valve until only the sanitizing solution is dispensed.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to metallic parts of the system, do not allow the sanitizing
solution to remain in the concentrate systems longer than 15 minutes.
25. Allow the sanitizing solution to remain in the concentrate systems from 8 to 10 minutes.
26. Remove concentrate tube-end connectors from the sanitizing solution and remove the bag valves from the
tube-end connectors. (Save the bag valves).
27. Connect each concentrate tube-end connector to the preselected concentrate source.
28. Operate each valve until the concentrate purges the sanitizer from the tubes, and only concentrate is dis-
pensed.
29. Dispense and taste each product for off-taste.
30. Dispose of the waste sanitizing solution in the sanitary sewer, (not in storm drain). Rinse both containers.
