About your new Preserve Cutlery Dispenser
1) Placing Your Dispenser
Your dispenser will work best if it is placed on a level
surface and is prevented from sliding back. Please use
either a backstop (for example, up against a wall) or
screw down the base. You can access the screw holes in
the front of the base by removing the tray.
If you choose to mount your dispenser to a wall you will
need to use the wall mount. The wall mount comes with
every dispenser and is secured into the back panel. If you
do not need it now, please save it for later. Fully loaded
the dispenser weighs about 25 lbs; please use screws and
supports that fit your wall type.
2) Loading Your Dispenser With Cutlery
Please train all operators who will load the cutlery.
a) Lift off dispenser’s clear green hood and set it aside.
b) Push button at top of chamber and pull down chamber door to open.
c) Hold cutlery sleeve with bowl or tines facing down. Knives must face to the right.
d) Slide cutlery all the way down into the channel.
e) Slide sleeve off and recycle with your paper recycling.
f) Each chamber of the dispenser holds about 100 pieces of cutlery (about 2 sleeves).
❖Cutlery must be inserted face down. Cutlery inserted the incorrect way will not
dispense.
❖Handle the sleeves with care. Cutlery may fall out. No adhesive.
❖Do not overfill the chambers or push cutlery down from the top.
