SHIPPING AND STORAGE
CAUTION:
!
Before shipping, storing, or relocating the unit, the unit must be sanitized and all sanitizing solution must be drained
from the system. A freezing ambient environment will cause residual sanitizing solution or water remaining inside the
unit to freeze resulting in damage to internal components.
CO2(CARBON DIOXIDE) WARNING
!
DANGER:
CO2displaces oxygen. Strict attention MUST be observed in the prevention of CO2gas leaks in the entire CO2and
soft drink system. If a CO2gas leak is suspected, particularly in a small area, IMMEDIATELY ventilate the
contaminated area before attempting to repair the leak. Personnel exposed to high concentrations of CO2gas
experience tremors which are followed rapidly by loss of consciousness and DEATH.
MOUNTING IN OR ON ACOUNTER
!
WARNING:
When installing the unit in or on a counter top, the counter must be able to support a weight in excess of 350 lbs. to
insure adequate support for the unit. FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH OR
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
NOTE: Many units incorporate the use of additional equipment such as ice makers. When any addition
equipment is used you must check with the equipment manufacturer to determine the
additional weight the counter will need to support to ensure a safe installation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
!
WARNING:
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the water supply to the dispensing equipment is provided with
protection against backflow by an air gap as defined in ANSI/ASME A112. 1.2-1976; or an approved vacuum breaker
or other such method as proved effective by test and must comply with all federal, state and local codes.
Failure to comply could result in serious injury, death or damage to the equipment.
Water pipe connections and fixtures directly connected to a potable water supply shall be sized, installed, and
maintained according to federal, state and local laws.
1. Locate the dispenser indoors on a level counter top.
A. COUNTER MOUNTING
The ice dispenser must be sealed to the counter. The template drawing indicates the opening that must be
cut in the counter. Locate the desired position for the dispenser, then mark the outline dimensions on the
counter using the template drawings. Cut openings in counter.
Apply a continuous bead of NSF International (NSF) listed silastic sealant (Dow 732 or equal) approximately
1/4” inside of the unit outline dimensions and around all openings. Then, position the unit on the counter
within the outline dimensions. All excess sealant must be wiped away immediately.
2. HOPPER DRAIN ASSEMBLY
A. Clean the hopper interior (see CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS in Operator’s Manual).
B. Connect the power cord to a 120 volt, 60 cycle, 15-Amp, 3--wire grounded receptacle.
3. The drain tubes are routed through the large opening in the bottom of the unit. The power cord is routed
through the holes in either side of the unit.
A. Use 3/4” nominal plastic pipe.
B. To assure proper drainage, do not allow “trap” to form in drain line. Be sure drain line runs with a pitch
of 1” per foot.
4. SINK DRAIN ASSEMBLY: Connect the drain tube to an open drain. The drain tube must continuously pitch
downward and contain no “traps” or improper drainage will result.
TORSION BAR REMOVAL
The hinged door as shipped from the factory is set up for the mounting of Corian on the top. If Corian not used, it is
recommended that the rear torsion bar be removed to decrease the spring force.
To accomplish this task, perform the following procedure:
1. Remove (Balloon Item 46) Ice Deflector by removing the three knurled screws that hold the Ice Deflector in place.
2. Break the RTV seal that holds the polymeric inner lid in place. This should be done with a sharp instrument.
3. Gently pry the inner lid out of the stainless steel cover.
4. Now that the complete Torsion Bar Assembly is visible, locate the Counter Balance Pivot which is balloon
Item 71. Using an 11/32” socket or equivalent, remove the two 8-32 hex nuts.
5. Carefully pry the pivot up and away from the mounting studs. As you do this, the torsion shafts will move
along with the pivot.
6. Once the pivot is free of the studs, moving it a little further towards you should allow the torsion shafts to
come free of the pivot.
7. You should be able to grab the rear torsion bar at this time and pull away from the end that is captured in the
sheet metal bracket.
8. Reverse the steps to reassemble the door.
9. RTV liner back in place.
