MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Keep the unit at peak efciency by performing
all scheduled maintenance procedures that
are recommended by the manufacturer. Proper
maintenance will allow the best performance and a
longer working life.
Before performing any service
procedure, perform all safety procedures. In
particular, turn OFF the water supply, disable
the electricity at the main circuit breaker
and prevent access to all devices that might
cause unexpected health and safety hazards
if turned ON.
Before performing any service
that involves electrical connection or
disconnection and/or exposure to electrical
components, ALWAYS follow the Electrical
LOCKOUT/TAGOUT Procedure. Disconnect all
circuits. Failure to comply can cause property
damage, injury or death.
At the end of each day or whenever necessary, be sure
to clean:
• Dispensing Head/Nozzle
• Drip Tray
• The surrounding work area
Every year, have skilled, authorized personnel
perform the following operations:
• General check of the unit
• Identify and replace worn parts
IMPORTANT ________________________
Record all yearly inspections.

ELECTRICAL LOCKOUT/TAGOUT
PROCEDURE
Before performing any service
that involves electrical connection or
disconnection and/or exposure to electrical
components, ALWAYS follow the Electrical
LOCKOUT/TAGOUT Procedure. Disconnect all
circuits. Failure to comply can cause property
damage, injury or death.
The Electrical LOCKOUT/TAGOUT Procedure is
used to protect personnel working on an electrical
unit. Before performing any maintenance or service
that requires exposure to electrical components,
follow these steps:
In Electrical Box, place unit Circuit Breaker into
OFF position.
Place a lock or other device on the Electrical Box
Cover to prevent someone from placing Circuit
Breaker in the ON position.
Place a tag on Electrical Box Cover to indicate
that unit has been disconnected for service and
power should not be restored until tag is removed
by maintenance personnel.
Disconnect the unit’s Power Cord from Electrical
Outlet.
Place a tag on the Power Cord to indicate that the
unit has been disconnected for service and power
should not be restored until tag is removed by
maintenance personnel.
Maintenance STAINLESS STEEL CARE
Cleaning
Stainless steel contains 70-80% iron, which will
rust if not properly maintained. It also contains 12-
30% chromium, which forms an invisible passive,
protective lm that shields against corrosion. If the
lm remains intact, the stainless steel will remain
intact. However, if the lm is damaged, the stainless
steel can break down and rust. To prevent stainless
steel breakdown, follow these steps:
Never use any metal tools. Scrapers,
les, wire brushes or scouring pads (except for
stainless steel scouring pads) will mar the surface.
Never use steel wool, which will
leave behind particles that rust.
Never use acid-based or
chloride-containing cleaning solutions, which
will break down the protective film.
Never rub in a circular motion.
Never leave any food products
or salt on the surface. Many foods are acidic.
Salt contains chloride.
For routine cleaning, use warm water, mild soap or
detergent and a sponge or soft cloth.
For heavy-duty cleaning, use warm water, a degreaser
and a plastic, stainless steel or Scotch-Brite pad.
Always rinse thoroughly.
Always rub gently in the direction of the steel grain.
Preserving & Restoring
Special stainless steel polishing cleaners can
preserve and restore the protective lm.
Preserve the life of stainless steel with a regular
application of a high quality stainless steel
polishing cleaner as a nal step to daily cleaning.
If signs of breakdown appear, restore the stainless
steel surface. First, thoroughly clean, rinse and
dry the surface. Then, on a daily basis, apply a
high-quality stainless steel polish according to
manufacturer’s instructions.
Heat Tint
Darkened areas, called heat tint, may appear on
stainless steel exposed to excessive heat, which
causes the protective lm to thicken. It is unsightly
but is not a sign of permanent damage.
To remove heat tint, follow the routine cleaning
procedure. Stubborn heat tint will require heavy-
duty cleaning.
To reduce heat tint, limit the exposure of equipment
to excessive heat.
DAILY CLEANING
The Vivreau ViTAP Dispensing System should be
cleaned once a day.
Vivreau recommends using disinfectant spray or a
sanitizing wipe for cleaning.
If the Dispensing Head becomes soiled with
coffee, tea, milk etc. clean with hot soapy water
using a non-abrasive cloth.
Clean the Drip Tray Cover and inside the Drip Tray
using either disinfectant spray (non-chlorine) or
hot, soapy water and non-abrasive cloth.
Keep area around the unit clean and sanitized.
Vivreau ViTAP Dispensing Systems equipment in
the under-counter area should be kept free of dust;
the ventilation should not be obstructed restricting
free air ow around the equipment.
The Vivreau ViTAP Dispensing Systems Nozzles
should be removed daily and cleaned with hot soapy
water and a non-abrasive cloth.
After completing all cleaning tasks, dispense water
for at least 10 seconds to ush through the Nozzle.
Use hot water if the unit is equipped with a Boiler.
DO NOT use any abrasive material on your Vivreau
ViTAP Dispensing System.
