Bunn-O-Matic does not recommend the use of a saddle valve to install the dispenser. The size and shape of the hole made in the supply line by this type of device may restrict water flow.
INITIAL FILL & HEAT CAUTION - The dispenser must be disconnected from the power source throughout the initial fill & heat, except when specified in the instructions. 1. Turn on the water supply and connect the dispenser to the power source. 2.
DISPENSER USE 1. Simply place a cup on the drip tray beneath the desired dispensing tip. 2. a) Momentarily press the appropriate dispense switch to froth and dispense the beverage. The dispenser will automatically dispense the beverage for the programmed dispense time at the programmed hopper dispense rate.

d. To return the dispense rate to the factory preset, press and hold down stop switch and press the medium switch. When the medium switch is pressed, the L.E.D. on that position will flash on and off to indicate the switch was recognized.
Refer to the decal inside the hopper access door for cleaning recommendations and procedures. The use of a damp cloth rinsed in any mild, non-abrasive, liquid detergent is recommended for cleaning all surfaces on Bunn-O-Matic equipment. ADJUSTMENTS The hot or cold beverage solenoids are preset to dispense approximately be adjusted: 1.
A troubleshooting guide is provided to suggest probable causes and remedies for the most likely problems encountered. If the problem remains after exhausting the troubleshooting steps, contact the Bunn-O-Matic Technical Service Department. • Inspection, testing, and repair of electrical equipment should be performed only by qualified service personnel.
