By rolling the knob in a counterclockwise direction the thermostat will reach a position in which the water is chilled to the lowest temperature.

Warning: by forcing further and in a counterclockwise direction the knob rotation one may eliminate definitely the refrigerating loop functioning

FIRST START UP

It is important to identify the model of the fountain before starting, and to scrupulously follow the specific start-up procedures for the specific model. Failure to do so may result in serious damage to the equipment.

After making the water and electrical connections, proceed as follows:

N.B. The following description (from 1 to 11) refers to Water Machine Plus model

1. place a container under the supply tap (or the supply spout in the Top Count version);
2. open the water shut-off cock;
3. plug into the electrical supply;
4. open the room temperature water tap;
5. open the CO2gas (see the paragraph "Use of the equipment", page 20);
6. switch on the machine;

7. wait until the pump stops working;

8. let flow 3-5 litres of room temperature water to clean completely the circuits from the solution of sanitization;

9. dispense the water using the carbonated water button for 3-5 litres; pay attention to let flow as a maximum one litre at a time;
10. wait for about two minutes after the pump has stopped and then repeat the operation for several times;
11. wait for about 1 hour before dispensing carbonated cold water;

NOTE Water pump doesn't work if the pressure CO_2 reducer is in closed position. To dispense carbonated water always make sure that the pressure CO_2 reducer is open. If the pressure reducer is closed the pump doesn't work and the machine will dispense cold still water.

For Water Machine Basic model it is necessary to proceed as follows:

Following the operations from 1 to 5 and then:

1. open the cold water tap and let flow at least 5 litres of water.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUIPMENT

Water Machine is an apparatus to chill drinking water to install on the counter.

USE OF THE EQUIPMENT

In order to switch on the machine use the button to the rear of the apparatus (picture 4, page 18).

The temperature is regulated by rotating the knob back the machine. By rotating the knob in a clockwise direction the water temperature will be reduced. By rotating the knob in a counterclockwise direction the water temperature increases. The complete knob rotation determines a different temperature set in with a variable range between a minimum of 5^ C and a maximum of 10^ C.

Fig. 6

a) Hold the pressure reducer (Fig. 5) firmly with one hand. With the other hand, tighten the CO_2 gas bottle as much as possible, keeping mono-use CO_2 gas bottles in a vertical position (Fig. 6).
b) At this stage, pay close attention to the tube connected to the pressure reducer which must never be pulled or compressed.

Any gas leak during this operation is normal. However, a continuous leak after the bottle has been completely tightened is NOT normal. Make sure that you have tightened the bottle properly!

WARNING. Exposure to the CO_2 jet may cause burns due to the very low temperature of the gas.

c) Position the bottle in the most appropriate housing, if possible near to the fountain.

About 1 hour after tightening the bottle, the apparatus is ready to dispense water. The correct position for the installation and removal of the bottle is the vertical one with the pressure reducer above and the bottle underneath.

NOTE

In addition to being linked to reaching the optimal temperature of the refrigerator, the quality of carbonation also depends on the physical characteristics of the water used. It takes about 1,5 hours to obtain optimal carbonation (without extracting either cold or carbonated water in the meantime) from the time of connection of the fountain to the electricity supply.

All maintenance operations, whether ordinary or extraordinary, must be carried out with the equipment switched off and the electricity and water supplies deactivated. In particular, it is opportune that, at every change of filter, the reading of the litre counter (if installed) and the date of the replacement are recorded.

The following list is a guide to the scheduled operations which should be carried out on the apparatus, according to the frequency suggested.

Part of the apparatus	Type of operation	Frequency of operation
		Daily Weekly		Every 6 months	Annual
Front and bodywork	Cleaning sanitisation	●
Distribution spout			●

NOTE

The times given in the table are indicative and refer to normal conditions of use. Always, refer to the hygiene regulations of the location (local and/or national). The frequency of the intervention is directly proportional to how much the machine has to work, that is, the quality of the mains drinking water supply.

CLEANING

Scrupulous cleaning is essential to keep the apparatus in good condition. General cleaning of the machine must be carried out with the machine off, using non-corrosive detergents, diluted in water and with a sponge or damp cloth. Do not use solvent- or alcohol-based products. The level of protection of the electrical apparatus ensures protection from splashes; please avoid water contact with electrical connections, switches, buttons, etc.

The holes on the frame at the back of the machine can be cleaned using a dry brush.

SANITISATION OF THE APPARATUS

The apparatus must be sanitised from time to time (completely every 6 months of use) to avoid possible bacterial contamination.

You can buy sanification kit from authorized reseller.

SANITISATION OF THE FOUNTAIN TERMINAL

If the apparatus is left unused for a long period, the following procedure must be followed when it is turned on again:

a) flush through with at least 5 litres of water;
b) sanitise the fountain at each change of water filter, or when the apparatus has been unused or not supplied for one or more weeks;
c) to sanitise, put a sanitising product in the coil of the fountain;
d) sanitise the fountain spout by loosening it and immersing it in a liquid food sanitiser for 10-15 minutes. Rinse the items, fit them back into the ring-nut and tighten them.
