Unit Installation
Follow the instructions below to install the Topping Dispenser.
. The bottom portion of the Topping Dispenser (the rack assembly) needs to be placed
in an area under the counter that can be enclosed on all sides in order for the heater to
properly maintain product temperature (cabinet to be provided by customer). Limit
the width of the cabinet to 3 feet, to ensure adequate cabinet temperature. Access will
be required to the front of this area allowing sufficient clearance to clean and maintain
the pump, and to add or remove boxes of topping.
2. The countertop will require preparation by drilling the mounting holes for the
pedestal, and by cutting the rectangular holes for the power cable and oil tube, drip
pan, and remote switch (if equipped). See Countertop Cutout Dimensions on next page
for reference. If your counter is thicker than the provided mounting studs attached to
the pedestal, then counter bore the underside of the countertop to allow for the washers
and wing nuts.
3. Set the pedestal onto the countertop and secure it in place with the wing nuts and
washers provided.
4. Set the rack assembly into the opening under the counter.
5. Attach the heated discharge oil-line tubing from the base to the aluminum tube on the
pedestal with the hose clamp provided (dual pedestal units will have 2 lines).
6. Plug the power cord from the pedestal(s) into the 6-prong receptacle on the side of the
control box (located on top of the rack assembly).
7. Plug the power cord from the rack assembly into a proper outlet (see Electrical
Requirements section).
8. If model is a dual pedestal unit, turn the power on and test the connections. Press the
dispense button and check to see that the correct pump is running to feed product to
the correct pedestal. If not, turn the power off and switch the six-prong plugs to the
opposite receptacles.
9. The unit is now ready to load boxes of topping, see Topping Installation section.

Use maximum of (2) 35 pound boxes of topping for this unit.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to operate this system with a bag which has been
removed from the box.
This product is not intended for use with volatile food products
(i.e. real butter).
. Load two boxes of pre-heated topping onto the rack. Gold Medal’s Backroom Warmer
(Item No. 2262) may be purchased for pre-heating the topping.
Mount the box in the rack so the topping bag nozzle is located towards the bottom of
the box to permit a free flow of the topping from the bag.
2. Remove the cardboard cutout on the box to expose the bag nozzle, and then remove
the cap from the bag nozzle.
3. Attach the Universal Bag Connector (from the rack assembly) to the bag nozzle as
shown below. Once oil is connected, the unit is ready for use.
