2. Connect the unit to the water supply so that it can operate automatically.
3. Plug the unit into an appropriate power plug.
4. Start the machine.
5. Install the Photo Display
6. Steam Sterilize the machine.
7. Start Distillation.
8. Rinse the Post Filter.
9. Turn the dispensing unit on.

Connecting the Saddle Tapping Valve:
1. Turn the raw water supply off.
2. Install the saddle tapping valve on the COLD
water copper tubing so the outlet is in a conve-
nient direction. See figure.
3. Tighten screws evenly. Brackets should be
parallel. Tighten firmly. Do not over tighten.
4. Connect tubing to the saddle tapping valve
outlet.
5. Plug the other end of the 1/4” tubing into the Raw Water Inlet on the back of the
Fountain Classic.

Steam Sterilization of the Machine:Steam Sterilization of the Machine:
Steam Sterilization of the Machine:
Use the high temperature tubing, included in the parts
kit in place of the post filter. It will connect the outlet
end of the condensing coil to the storage tank inlet.
This tube must be used because the post filter cannot
withstand the temperature of the steam. Now the
boiling chamber is creating steam. The steam will rise
up to the condensing coil. Normally the fan would
cool the steam and it would change back to water
form. The fan switch is turned off, so there is no way for the steam to cool and con-
dense. Steam will be sent to the storage tank. This will heat the tank and kill any
bacteria in the machine. Once you can see that steam is being created, allow the unit
to steam for 25 minutes. (Total time spent is approximately 1 hour.)

Remove the high temperature tubing used for

the condensing coil outlet and the storage tank
inlet. There is an arrow on the side of the filter
that indicates the proper direction of the post
filter. Allow the unit to distill for 5-6 hours.
Using the spigots in the front, empty the water
from the unit. This water should be discarded.
(Three temperature unit owners: be sure to
draw water from the hot water spigot so
any air in the lines or tank is released.)
