Thisline mustcontinuallypitch downward awayfromthe unitand mustcontainnotraps,orimproperdrain-
age will result.
4.Connect the beverage systemproductlinesasindicated inFigure6(“B”units)and Figure7(“BC”units).
Thiswork should be done bya qualified service person.Notethat the hosesaremarked with numbers
(1through 8)forsyrup connectionsand “CW”forcarbonated waterconnection.
IMPORTANT:Thewatersupplytothe carbonator mustcomplywiththebasicplumbing codeof the
Building Officials and CodeAdministratorsInternational, Inc.(BOCA)and local
plumbing codes.
5.Clean the hopperinterior (see CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Ice Dispensing:Depressing the operating leveractivatesamicroswitch behind the frontpanel which ener-
gizesthe agitator motorand gatesolenoid.This causesthe agitatortorotate and the gateslide tolift, allowing
the iceto push out the gate opening.
Ice Level:(StandardModels):Removethe lid and fill the hopperwithice.Replacelidto avoidcontamination
ofice.
Forunitsequipped withthe optional icelevel light, low icelevel inthe storage hopperwill be indicated when the
lightis“on”.
CAUTION:Use caution toavoidspilling ice whenfilling dispenser. Immediately clean up
any spilledice fromfilling oroperating theunit.To preventcontamination ofice,thelid
mustbeinstalledontheunitatall times.
AutomaticIce Filling:(“K”Models):The automaticagitation timercausesthe icetomaintainaconstantlevel

maintainsthe icelevel inthe storage hopper.Consult the icemaker manualforlocation and operation of the ice
makercontrol.
BeverageSystem:Beveragesmaybe dispensed byoperating the leveron the appropriatefaucets. On units
withcold plates(“C”models),periodicmovementof the iceinthe hopperisnecessarytomaintainthe levelof
iceonthe cold plate. Oninitialstart-up orafterlong,idle periodswith no use,dispenseseveral large cupsofice
(approximately20-30 secondstotaldispensing time)to allow icetofill the cold platecabinet. For manual-fill
units,add icetothe hopperasnecessarytorefill and then replacethe lid.Allow10-15 minutesforthe cold plate
