All information in this manual is current at the time of publication and is subject to change without notice. Only technicians or service providers authorised by MARCO should carry out installation and maintenance of these machines.
This version of the use and Maintenance Manual describes the characteristics of the standard production equipment as of the date of printing. Contact Marco Beverage Systems for any technical queries or to order spare parts. When replacing equipment parts, you are advised to use original spare parts;...
Allow to cool before removing components. • The use of spares and accessories not recommended by Marco may cause damage and/or injuries. • Do not use outdoors. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner.
4. BASIC INSTRUCTIONS: 4.1. INSTALLATION DETAILS: Positioning • The equipment must be placed on a surface capable of bearing the weight of the chiller complete with water. Install the equipment following the schematic described in this user guide. • The chosen position must in any case allow satisfactory ventilation; in particular, there must be a gap of at least 10 cm (3.9 in) around the back and top for ventilation.

Operating chiller for the first time: • Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction. • Check that all installation procedures have been carried out. •...
4.2 GREEN LIGHT TROUBLESHOOTING: After about 3.5 minutes of continuous carbonation pump operation, without the usual stops and starts dictated by the carbonation level probes the internal carbonation pump controller shuts carbonation pump and LED starts blinking. Refer to Troubleshooting chapter of this manual for corrective actions. 4.3 MAINTENANCE: 4.3.1 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE: To always ensure good equipment operation, certain maintenance procedures (described...
4.3.2 CHECK FOR CO PRESSURE: Review pressure CO2 gauges for proper settings. DANGER ELECTRICAL MAINS Always isolate chiller from power supply before doing any work on it, to prevent damage and health hazards. Replacing a carbon dioxide (CO2) cylinder When the needle of the reducer high pressure gauge is in the red segment, the cylinder needs replacing: 1.
This procedure should only be carried out by persons trained by Marco Beverage Systems or their approved distributors. The operation of higienization/sterilization has to be carried out every time the refrigerator is installed and: - every 6 months when it is used.

SANITIZING 1. Turn off Electrical Power Supply. 2. Replace the filter cartridge with a sanitizing filter recommended by Marco Beverage Systems and fill with clean water and with sanitizing fluid in the concentration and contact time recommended by the manufacturer.
4.3.5 CLEANING: DANGER ELECTRICAL MAINS Always isolate chiller from power supply before doing any work on it, to prevent damage and health hazards. The exterior of these machines may be cleaned with a damp cloth and a light detergent. Do not use abrasive cloths or creams, as this will spoil the finish of the machine.

• Refrigerant charge in an R290 system is 40 – 60% less than an equivalent R134A system. • Only Marco technicians or service providers trained on procedures for handling R290 refrigerant gas can carry out repairs on the chillers charged with R290.
5.3.3 R290 Refrigerant circuit What are R290 refrigerant circuit components? • Compressor and copper pipes welded on the compressor; • Priming pipe • Suction pipe • Filling pipe with its cap. • Condenser and condenser pipes, priming pipe from compressor and filter pipe to filter/drier.
6. ACCESS TO INTERNAL COMPONENTS: To inspect the chiller from the top: 1. Disconnect the machine from the electrical supply. 2. Disconnect all water and CO2 connectors. 3. Purge the CO2 from the machine. 4. Allow to cool sufficiently. 5. Remove the outer lid. To remove outer lid, undo 3 Phillips Screws. 6.

To access to internal components. 1. Disconnect the machine from the electrical supply. 2. Allow to cool sufficiently. 3. Remove the outer lid. To remove outer lid, undo 3 Phillips Screws. 4. Remove surround, To remove surround, undo 2 Phillips Screws on front and 4 on back. Place the panels to the side of the machine.

Inlet Pressure Regulator Sporadically, dust or iron particles from the outer tubes during the first installation and during maintenance operations to external filters can clog the regulator. To replace the pressure regulator, disconnect inlet and outlet tubes and undo the 2 screws (a,b) located on the backside of the chiller.
Page 23
Carbonation Pump To replace the carbonation pump, disconnect the black wirings from the carbonation control module, loosen the 2 screws (c,d) located on the right side of the pump auxiliary bracket and remove the 2 screws on the left side (a,b); the pump can now be removed for maintenance.
Page 24
Carbonation Pump Electronic Control Unit To replace the carbonation pump ECU, disconnect the wirings from the ECU, and undo the screw (a) located on the top side of the bracket; the ECU can be removed for maintenance. During removal, be careful not to damage the electric wiring or the refrigeration group pipes.
Page 25
Dispense Solenoid Access: To access the dispense solenoid(s), the solenoid bracket need to be removed. Unscrew the four Phillips screws holding the bracket. If the dispense solenoid(s) need to be replaced unscrew the two Phillips screws holding the solenoid in place and remove tubing from solenoid body. During removal, be careful not to damage the electric wirings, refrigeration group pipes and water circuit pipes.
Page 26
Electronic PCB access Remove the lid of the chiller. Remove the PCB enclose lid by undoing two screws (a,b) this will give access to the PCB. Carefully remove the electrical connectors, do not apply too much force to avoid damage. Remove the PCB by undoing the 4 screws (c) located on the PCB itself.
Page 27
Compressor PCB, PRV valve access for replacement To access the compressor PCB and/or the PRV the top bracket needs to be removed. To remove the internal top bracket sub-assembly with all components assembled on it (Electronic Control Unit and PRV), remove the 2 screws (a,b) located on the back of the panel and (c,d, e, f) located on the two corners of the top bracket.
Page 28
Pressure Relief Valve access and replacement Please ensure the CO2 is disconnected and purged from the machine. To remove the PRV, firstly remove the tubing from hydraulic fitting and afterwards undo the fitting (a) from the PRV. Carefully unscrew the PRV bolt (b) from the bracket and repair or replace the valve. During removal, be careful not to damage the electric wirings, refrigeration group pipes and water circuit pipes.
Page 29
Pressure Relief Valve cleaning and replacement In case of leakage from PRV, the movable plunger can be easily remove for check and cleaning. Please ensure the CO2 is disconnected and purged from the machine. This can be done without removal of the outer lid; simply keep the PRV with a pliers simply hold the steel valve body (a) in place while at the same time unscrew the plastic body of the PRV by acting on the cylindrical part (b).

Carbonator NRV cleaning and replacement (CO2 in cold still water) Sporadically, dust or iron particles may be present in the pipes or coils of the chiller or may come from the outer tubes during the first installation or during maintenance operations to external filters.
It is normal that the appliance works at a continuously high room temperature Gas leak from the cooling system Contact a specialized technician (refrigerator repairman) or The compressor Marco Beverage Systems works continuously, but the water is not The compressor is faulty Check wirings and voltage on compressor terminals and cold replace the faulty component if needed.
