ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS CAUTION: The dispenser must remain disconnected from the power source until specified in Electrical Hook- The LCA-2 and LCC-2 dispensers are supplied with a 120-volt / 15 Amp cord set and require a 2-wire, grounded, individual branch circuit rated for 120 volts AC, 15 amp, single phase, 60Hz. The mating connector must be a NEMA 5-15R.
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.
SETTING DISPENSER FLOW RATE The dispenser comes from the factory with flow restrictors in the mix chambers. With the restrictors in place the dispense rate is about 1.8 oz./sec (53.2 ml/sec) and is used primarily for cup at a time dispensing. The flow restrictors can be removed to increase the dispense rate to about 2.5 oz./sec (74 ml/sec) for larger volume dispensing (airpots, carafes, etc.).
2. Depress the tension screw and remove it from the notch in the pump body, releasing the spring tension on the pump band. 3. Apply lubricant (BUNN-O-MATIC part number M2531.0001) to the new pump tubing. 4. Insert the tubing onto the mix chamber port and wrap the tubing around the pump rotor, making sure that the elbow and clamps end up on the bottom side of the pump body.

FlavorGard™ Feature FlavorGard™ is a patented feed back control loop that monitors the mixed product and adjusts the concentrate delivery rate to maintain a consistent mix profile, i.e. Flavor Profile. The system consists of a conductance probe mounted in the final stages of the mixing chamber, a metering pump with RPM sensor and a digital controller. Once you have completed the installation of the dispenser, entered the desired mix ratio for your concentrate, dispensed several cups of the mixed product, and are satisfied with the Flavor and Strength being delivered, simply enable FlavorGard™, (refer to FlavorGard™...
Rinse Procedure: 1. Open the cabinet door and select Rinse on the Function Selector switch – close the door. 2. Place a 2 Liter (1/2 Gal) container under the Left dispense tip. 3. Activate the Left dispenser until water flow stops automatically, approximately 20 sec. 4.

CLEANING & PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE General Cleaning and Sanitizing Procedures Note: The BUNN Liquid Coffee Dispenser incorporates a “user selectable” rinse reminder feature, which lights ® the Rinse LED on the front panel and disables dispensing when it is time to rinse. See Programming Functions to activate this feature.
How long the tubes last is dependent on usage and properties of the concentrate. Excessive wear will reduce the output of the pumps resulting in a weak mixed beverage. Bunn-O-Matic recommends replacing the Pump Tubing a minimum of once every 6 months or sooner if warranted.
DRAINING THE HOT WATER TANK CAUTION: The dispenser must be disconnected from the power source throughout these steps. 1. Disconnect the dispenser from the power source. 2. Shut off and disconnect the incoming water supply. 3. Remove the front splash panel. 4.
Troubleshooting 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. • Only qualified service personnel should perform inspection, testing, and repair of electrical equipment.

Field Calibration of the Concentrate Pumps / Dispenser Flow Rates The factory set Default Values for the Pump & Dispenser Flow Rates are very accurate and typically do not need to be field calibrated. However, if the mix ratio accuracy is ever in question, this procedure can be used to recalibrate the unit in the field.
Field Calibration of the Concentrate Pumps / Dispenser Flow Rates (Continued) Dispenser Flow Rate Calibration 13. Press Down Arrow Key to display the CAL LF WTR FLO menu screen. 14. Place a 64 Oz (2000 ml) graduated container under Left Dispense Tip and Pull the Left Dispense Handle momentarily.
Field Calibrating the Empty BIB Warning The dispenser will automatically turn on the Left or Right “REFILL LED”, see Operating Controls and Interface, when the corresponding BIB is Empty. The Refill message is triggered when the FlavorGard sensor reading drops below the minimum setting. The factory set minimum is 500 and should be correct for most locations. However, in some areas the hardness of the local water supply may effect this reading.
