TEAM YSTEM The Modbar steam tap is operated via a lever handle located on top of the tap. This handle actuates a valve that allows steam to pass through the steam wand. To dispense steam, move the lever handle from the closed position to the open position. If desired, steam velocity can be metered by moving the handle only slightly into the open position.
It is very important that the media for your water filtration is replaced on a regular basis, in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Please refer to the documentation for your filtration system for proper operating and cleaning instructions. www.modbar.com Document 003-0042-1.1| Software Version 2.0...

Water quality is very important to the proper function of your Modbar equipment. Improper water filtration can lead to serious problems with both your equipment and the quality of the coffee produced.
Verify that water is turned on to the module. Verify that water pressure is adequate. The operable pressure range for Modbar equipment is 35-70psi. If water pressure is too low, the boiler will not fill. Verify that the displayed machine status reads “Filling” on the home screen. If it does not, this more than likely indicates scale on the fill probe, and the probe will need to be cleaned and/or the boiler may need to be descaled.
