INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Rinse-o-matic Installation
NOTICE: This equipment is to be installed to comply with
the applicable federal, state, or local plumbing codes.
1. Ensure that you have received all of the parts shown in
the parts list on page 2. Note that some Rinse-o-matic
machines do not come with an additional Y-connector
or adapters. If you believe you are missing parts, please
contact Vitamix customer service.
2. Make sure the faucet is turned o.
3. If your faucet is equipped with a garden hose thread,
proceed to step 5. Otherwise, remove the faucet aerator;
if one is installed, and proceed to step 4.
4. Locate the bag of faucet adapters. Find the faucet-to-
hose thread adapter (Item #1415 a) and screw onto the
faucet. Additional adapters (Item #1415 b, c, d, and e)
are provided to accommodate various faucet designs.
Be sure to use the correct washer if it is necessary to
use an adapter.
5. Screw the quick disconnect insert (Item #1437) to the
Y-connector (Item #1419). (See Figure 1.)
6. Screw the Y-connector (Item #1419) to the faucet.
7. Turn the faucet on to wet the bottom of the sink. The
suction cups are more eective when the sink bottom
is wet and clean. If water does not flow, check the
condition of the valves on each leg of the Y-connector.
Turn one of the valves until water flows at a normal rate.
Turn the water o once the sink bottom is wet.
8. Connect the hose assembly with quick disconnect
(Item #1448) to the quick disconnect insert (Item #1437).
You should hear a definitive click to indicate that the
hose is properly secured to the faucet (See Figure 1).
9. Place the Rinse-o-matic unit in the bottom of the sink in
the desired location and press down firmly and evenly
to secure the suction cups.
10. Ensure that the valve on the leg of the Y-connector that
supplies the Rinse-o-matic with water is on and that the
valve on the opposite leg is o (See Figure 2).
11. Turn on the cold water. Refer to the Troubleshooting
guide (pages 6-7) if there is leakage.
CAUTION: Turn o water supply and disconnect unit from faucet after closing time.
Maximum operating temperature: 140°F / 60°C.
Note: Periodically check water supply hose and connections for leakage.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Rinsing Instructions
1. Place the item to be rinsed upside down over the top of
the Rinse-o-matic until it rests on the plunger. For the
best results when rinsing items with blades, ensure that
the blades are not resting on the tip of the plunger before
attempting to depress the plunger (Figure 4). The bottom
internal surface of the item being rinsed should be in
contact with the plunger (Figure 3). This ensures the best
performance of the Rinse-o-matic.
2. Press down on the item to be rinsed. This will depress the
plunger and release the water.
3. Hold the plunger down for 2–5 seconds or until the item
is fully rinsed.
4. Lift the rinsed item from the Rinse-o-matic. The water will
stop flowing.
5. Continue with the cleaning and sanitizing process
necessary for the item. Local codes should be followed
for cleaning equipment.
Disassembly of Hose From Base
1. Make sure the water supply is o and disconnect the unit
from the water supply.
2. Remove the Rinse-o-matic from the sink and turn it over
so the hose connection can be seen.
3. Using two fingers, hold the elbow collar back while pulling
on the hose to disconnect it (Figure 5).
4. Pull hose carefully through the key slot.
5. After cleaning or replacement, push hose back through
key slot and connect at the elbow. The elbow will grip
the hose when correctly connected.

External Sanitizing
1. Make sure the water supply is o and disconnect the unit from the water supply.
2. Place the unit in a basin of warm (110°F / 43°C), clean water and add a mild dish
washing detergent.
3. Wash all surfaces with a soft cloth.
4. Wash hard to reach areas with a small, soft brush.
Maintenance
The plunger and sprayhead may wear down from improper contact with the blade
when rinsing containers. The wearing may aect rinsing performance and will require
part replacement. Inspect the sprayhead weekly for wear. Worn sprayheads should be
replaced. (Additional replacements must be ordered through your Vitamix distributor
or by contacting Vitamix customer service.) Avoid damage to the plunger and sprayhead
by following the correct rinsing instructions above.

CARING FOR YOUR MACHINE

TROUBLESHOOTING
6
A. The unit leaks at the faucet between the faucet and hose connection.
1. Turn the faucet o, disconnect the Rinse-o-matic and remove any adapters
used to connect the Rinse-o-matic to the faucet. If more than one adapter
was used, unscrew the adapters from each other. All adapters should be
separated from each other at this point.
2. If the use of any of the provided faucet adapters was necessary, ensure that you
have used the correct adapters and that the threads are undamaged. Ensure that the
correct washers are in place, that they are properly installed (lying flat and seated on
the internal ledge of the adapter) and that they are not damaged or deformed in any
way. All adapters should have a washer. If more than one adapter is used, go to step
3. If one adapter is used, go to step 4. If no adapters are used, go to step 5.
3. If more than one adapter is used, screw these adapters together snugly by hand.
Be sure not to over-tighten the adapters. After securing the two adapters together,
ensure that the washer that creates the seal between them is still seated properly.
4. If one adapter is used or if you are using more than one adapter and you have
completed step 3, screw the adapter(s) to the faucet snugly by hand. Be sure not to
over-tighten the adapter(s) to the faucet. If possible, ensure that all of the washers
are still seated properly. (Use a compact mirror to see inside the faucet if available.)
5. If no adapters are used or if one or more adapters are used and you have completed
step 4, screw the quick disconnect insert into the faucet snugly by hand. Be sure not
to over-tighten.
6. If you are using the garden hose thread adapter with the mesh metal screen and the
previous steps have not solved the problem, repeat steps 1 through 5, but remove the
mesh metal screen from the garden hose thread adapter. Bd sure to put the washer
back in place.
B. Water does not flow or the water pressure is very low when using the Y-connector.
1. Ensure that the faucet is on.
2. Ensure that the valve on the leg of the Y-connector that supplies the Rinse-o-matic
with water is on and that the valve on the opposite leg is o when attempting to use
the Rinse-o-matic. (Refer to step 10 of the installation instructions on page 3.)
3. If the water supply line that supplies the Rinse-o-matic is used to supply water to
any other equipment, make sure that the equipment is not drawing water when
attempting to use the Rinse-o-matic.

7
C. Water leaks between the spray head and the rinser or from holes on spray head.
1. Ensure that the sprayhead has been screwed on and suciently tightened.
2. If the sprayhead still leaks when it is suciently tightened, turn the water supply
to the Rinse-o-matic o and relieve the residual pressure in the unit by depressing
the sprayhead plunger with a container and unscrew the sprayhead. (It should be
removable by hand, it is much easier with a dry sprayhead and dry hands.)
If nothing appears damaged, and there is no debris in the sprayhead, replace the
sprayhead, and check for leaks.
D. Water leaks between the hose and elbow collar at the bottom of the rinser base.
Ensure that the hose has been pushed into the collar completely. The elbow will grip
the hose when properly connected.
