SOLE OPTION AS SPECIFIED HEREIN, TO REPAIR, REPLACEMENT OR REFUND. In no event shall BUNN be liable for any other damage or loss, including, but not limited to, lost profits, lost sales, loss of use of equipment, claims of Buyer’s customers, cost of capital, cost of down time, cost of substitute equipment, facilities or services, or any other special, incidental or consequential damages.
NOTE - At least 18 inches of an FDA approved flexible beverage tubing, such as reinforced braided polyethylene or silicone, before the dispenser will facilitate movement to clean the countertop. 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 set-up, except when specified in the instructions. 1. Turn-on the water supply and connect the dispenser to the power source. 2. Water will automatically flow into the tank to the proper level and then shut-off. This will take less than five minutes.
