PRODUCT DELIVERY LOCATION
The location selected for the FreshBlender Beverage System
must meet the following criteria.
• The air temperature must be at least 40°F (4°C), but
must not exceed 90°F (32°C), climate class 4.
• The location must not be near heat-generating
equipment or in direct sunlight and must be protected
from weather.
• Plain Inlet Water Temperature:
min/max = 40°F / 90°F (4°C / 32°C).
• Always use the water supply line supplied when
installing this appliance. Never reuse an old supply line.
• Verify floor of install location is level front to back, side
to side.
• Keep equipment area clear of combustible material.
nWarning
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) displaces oxygen. Exposure to a
high concentration of CO2gas causes tremors, which
are followed rapidly by loss of consciousness and
suffocation. If a CO2gas leak is suspected, particularly
in a small area, immediately ventilate the area before
repairing the leak. CO2lines and pumps must not be
installed in an enclosed space. An enclosed space can
be a cooler or small room or closet. This may include
convenience stores with glass door self serve coolers. If
you suspect CO2may build up in an area, venting of the
B-I-B pumps and / or CO2monitors must be utilized.
