Installation - Cornelius SUPER ASTRA Product Manual

3. INSTALLATION

Please follow these instructions carefully. Only if the
beverage cooler is properly installed will trouble free
operation and customer satisfaction be achieved.
NOTE – the cooler is fully automatic, therefore the
electrical supply must not be interrupted (unless access
for maintenance is required), otherwise reduced
performance and reliability will occur.
HANDLING AND TRANSPORTATION
Keep the unit in an upright position and do not drag
over rough floors or down steps.
On receipt, unpack the unit carefully and inspect for any
superficial damage which the unit may have sustained in
transit. Record the nature of damage on the Courier's
Delivery Note and at the same time inform your
supplier.
Once the unit is in position, do not move when filled
with water.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
1. General
Installation must only be carried out by a suitably
trained person and comply with national and local codes
for connection to electrical supplies.
It is recommended that the mains electrical supply is
protected by an RCCB.
2. Siting
The cooler is designed for indoor use only, in ambients
between 5°C and 43°C and should not be exposed to
water spillage, spray, steam or high humidity (in excess
of 90% rh).
Allow 80mm clearance around the unit to aid air
circulation and keep the front of the unit clear to allow
an unimpeded fresh air supply to enter the cooler.
Air vents and louvres should never be obstructed or
blocked, also access should be possible to the unit lid
for ease of service.
Site the cooler on a firm level support, protect from
physical damage and do no place items on top. Locate
the cooler within 2 metres of an earthed, switched
socket of correct rating (indicated on rating plate) which
should be accessible for isolation of the equipment. The
socket should be installed to current IEE regulations.
Locate the cooler as near to the dispense point as
possible to reduce heat pick up by the product after it
has left the unit.

water to be poured into the unit.
Do not use de-ionized water or add any substance to
the water.
Do not leave hose pipes unattended while filling the

and form an ice reserve, pump connections (located
on the front of the cooler marked FLOW and
RETURN) for still water recirculation must be
looped together with a pipe. This will prevent water
being pumped from the water bath. The cooler can
now be switched ON. Time to create an ice reserve
is between 2 to 5 hours depending on unit type and
ambient temperature.
instructions sited on the front of the cooler.
The product supply is connected to the product coil
inlets, marked IN.
The outlets from the product coils, marked OUT,
should be connected to dispensing point(s).
The remaining water recirculation tails should be
connected to the python. Initially switch the unit
OFF, remove the loop previously fitted and connect
the python water recirculation lines to the cooler.
The other end of the python must have the two
python tubes connected to allow water to recirculate
from the cooler water bath through the python
enabling the product in the python to remain cool.
switched ON. This will allow the python to prime
with water. The cooler must then be switched OFF
and the water bath 'topped up' following the
procedure indicated earlier.
When the water has stopped flowing from the
overflow, replace the bung and rotate the filler disc
until the filler tube is covered.
Never allow the water pump to run dry – caused by
priming a large python with water from the unit.
This is to ensure the correct water level is
maintained in the cooler.
