Important Notes/Cautions – from the factory
Sanitation Requirements
Your Curtis ADS System is Factory Pre-Set and Ready to Go... Right from the Carton.
Following are the Factory Settings for your Primo Cappuccino Beverage System:
• Tank Temperature = 190°F
• Flavor Controls= Set at 50%
• Dispensing Mode Set for Manual Dispensing
Generally there will never be a reason to change your programming. However, should you need to make slight adjustments to meet your
dispensing needs, programming instructions are provided later in this manual.
System Requirements:
• Water Source 20 – 90 PSI (Minimum Flow Rate of 1 GPM)
• Electrical: See attached schematic for standard model or visit www.wilburcurtis.com for your model.
Equipment to be installed to comply with applicable federal, state, or local plumbing/electrical codes having jurisdiction.
SETUP STEPS
The unit should be level (left to right and front to back), located on a solid counter top. Connect a water line from the water filter to the
brewer. NOTE: Some type of water filtration device must be used to maintain a trouble-free operation. (In areas with extremely hard
water, we suggest that a sedimentary and taste & odor filter be installed.) This will prolong the life of your dispensing system and enhance
cappuccino product quality.
The National Sanitation Foundation requires the following water connection:
1. A quick disconnect or additional coiled tubing (at least 2x the depth of the unit) so that the machine can be moved for
cleaning underneath.
2. In some areas an approved backflow prevention device may be required between the brewer and the water supply.
1. Connect a water line from your facility to the 1/4" flare water inlet fitting of the valve, behind the machine. Water volume going to the
machine should be stable. Use tubing sized sufficiently to provide a minimum flow rate of one gallon per minute.
2. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet rated at 20A.
3. Switch on the toggle switch, behind the unit, that runs power to the components in the machine. The display window and Stop/Wash
light on the front door will activate and the heating tank will start to fill.
4. Water in the heating tank will require about ½ hour to reach operating temperature (factory setting of 190°F). At this time the Ready
LED will light.
5. Remove and fill the canisters with powdered cappuccino mixes.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Choose a flavor. Place your cup under the spout beneath the desired flavor.
2. Push and hold the dispensing button for this flavor.
3. Release the button when the cup is ¾ full.
FILL CANISTERS DAILY
1. Open the front door to access the coffee canisters.
2. The canisters must be removed from the unit for filling. Turn the product delivery
elbows upward.
3. Reposition the canisters on the machine, turning the product delivery elbows down-
ward and aligning the gear socket with the motor shaft.
