Installation Procedures - WaterLogic WL Max Technical Manual

Installation Procedures

1. Mount the WL Max on a firm, level surface so the machine cannot topple or fall
over. A 50mm air gap is required the whole way around the machine to allow for
sufficient ventilation. The WL Max must not be installed in direct sunlight, adjacent
to a heat source, or in an ambient room where the temperature is above 30°C or
below 5°C.
2. Level the machine using the adjustable feet if needed.
3. It is advisable to have the power and water supply within a 2 metre range of the
machine, the isolation for the water and electricity should be easily accessible. The
supply of water must be from a potable source and the machine should not be in-
stalled using an extension lead.
4. Remove the top and bottom covers of the machine. Inspect all water and electri-
cal and water connections to make sure they have not come loose whilst in transit.
5. Remove the inline filter from the machine and attach a water feed directly into
the inlet side, attach another length of water pipe to the outlet side and direct this
into a bucket or a large container. Allow 10 litres of water to pass through the filter
clearing any carbon fines that may need to be flushed out. (This process may need
to be repeated)
6. Remove the cap from the top of the WL Max Ice Bank reservoir and place to one
side.
7. Insert your water feed into the top of the Ice Bank reservoir and fill the reservoir
until the water level is 2mm away from the top.
8. Replace the cap on the top of the reservoir.
9. Make the water connection using an installation kit. Waterlogic recommends the
use of a pressure reducing valve, a shut off valve and a non return valve. These
should be fitted before the water intake to the machine. Minimum operating pres-
sure for the machine to work suitably is 2.6bar.The minimum incoming flow rate is
1.2 litres per minute. The ideal operating pressure is at 3bar, and at pressures higher
than 3.2bar the machine will not function correctly and this can lead to leaks. The
water should be from a potable source and should be allowed to run clear of any
sediment before making the connection into the WL Max.

10. Check all the connections to ensure there are no water leaks within the WL Max
machine.
11. Re-fit the top and bottom covers and secure them using the screws removed
earlier.
12. Check the electrical wall socket (polarity) and then make the electrical connec-
tion to the WL Max by plugging the power lead into the socket on the rear of the WL
Max. Then connect it to the electrical feed or wall power outlet. Turn on the power
supply to the WL Max.
13. Depress the dispense button and flush through 10 litres of water. When the res-
ervoir is full turn on the red switch at the rear of the machine. The machine will now
begin to cool.
14. The water temperature is pre-set at the factory to 5°c.
15. The water should now be taste tested, any hint of a taste in the water means
the machine needs to be flushed further with an additional 10 litres and then taste
tested again.
16. The WL Max should be sanitized at installation. A suitable sanitizer such as Aqua
Dosa should be used.
