Pro Tip:
Insert & lightly hand-tighten all
screws before using T20 driver to
fully tighten screws.
• Exercise common sense while operating the Z.
• Always use the keg cozy to shield the hot
metal of the keg.
• Close supervision is needed when used
around children.
• Allow machine to fully cool before removing
or replacing parts.
• Do not operate with a frayed cord or broken
plug.
• Do not remove Step Filter from the Z unless in
pause mode or brew cycle is completed.
• The Step Filter and contents may be hot when
removing from the machine.
• Do not immerse or soak the machine.
• Make sure all hoses are connected before
starting a brewing, rinsing or cleaning cycle.
• To avoid risk of electrical shock hazard do
not disassemble the Z. There are no user
serviceable parts inside.
• Various surfaces can get extremely hot during
the brewing cycle, use caution when handling
the keg, hoses and components.
• Do not remove the hose clamps, hot liquid
spray may result.
• Do not remove the keg attachments while
brewing.
• Do not make any modications to your Z or any
of its components. Doing so can be dangerous,
will void your warranty, and may cause damage
to your Z or affect its performance.
• Avoid exposing your Z to rain, moisture, or
other liquids which may cause damage to your
machine or injury to you.
• Do not store your Z where it will be exposed
to below freezing temperatures as this may
damage internal components.
• Only operate your Z on completely level and
sturdy surfaces.
