2. Access Valve Mapping: Locate the option for mapping the valves in the Service Mode menu.
3. Change the Label: Select the valve currently assigned to Tropicana fruit punch and reassign it to Lipton unsweetened tea.
4. Validate Connections: Ensure that the brand lines from the python are correctly connected to the labeled brands on the user display screen.
5. Save and Exit: Confirm the changes and exit the Service Mode.
