Unpack the unit.  Inspect all components for completeness and 
condition.  Ensure that all packing materials have been removed 
from the unit.  
 
LEVELING THE UNIT 

 
Two Gallon Dispenser is NOT provided with adjustable legs.  Be 
sure  dispenser is placed on a solid level surface with all four feet 
touching the surface. 

 
Five Gallon Dispenser is provided with adjustable legs.  Verify 
that an adjustable leg is installed at each corner of the brewer. 
Set Brewer in its operating location.  Level the Brewer.  A spirit 
level should be placed on the top of the unit, at the edge, as a 
guide when making level adjustments. Level the unit from left to 
right and front to back by turning the  adjustable feet.  Be sure all 
four feet touch the counter to prevent tipping. 
 
PLUMBER’S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  

 
Dispenser should be connected to a POTABLE WATER, COLD 
WATER line.  Flush water line before connecting to appliance.  

  
DO NOT use a saddle valve with a self-piercing tap for the water 
line connection.  Such a tap can become restricted by waterline 
debris.  For systems that must use a saddle tap,  shut off the main 
water supply and drill a 3/16” (minimum) tap for the saddle     
connection, in order to insure an ample water supply.  Remember 
to flush the line prior to installing the saddle. 

 
The dispenser must be installed on a water line with average     
pressure between 20 PSI and 90 PSI.  If your water pressure   
exceeds 90 PSI at anytime, a pressure regulator must be 
installed in the water supply  line to limit the pressure to not more 
than 90 PSI in order to avoid damage to lines and solenoid. 

 
A water shut-off valve should be installed on the incoming water 
line in a convenient location (Use a low restriction type valve, 
such as a 1/4-turn ball valve, to avoid loss of water flow thru the 
valve. 

IMPORTANT: 
To enable the installer to make 
a quality installation and to  
minimize installation time, the 
following suggestions and tests 
should be done before the     
actual unit installation is started: 
 

CAUTION:   

 
DO NOT plug in or energize this 
appliance until all Installation 
Instructions are read and       
followed.  Damage to the        
dispenser will occur if these 
instructions are not followed. 

 

 
It is very important for safety 
and for proper operation that the 
dispenser is level and stable 
when standing in its final         
operating position.  Provided 
adjustable, non-skid legs must 
be installed at each corner of 
the unit.  Failure to do so will 
result in movement of the       
dispenser which can cause    
personal Injury and/or damage 
to appliance. 
 
NOTE:  Water supply inlet line 
must meet certain minimum 
criteria to insure successful 
operation of the dispenser. 
Bloomfield recommends 1/4" 
copper tubing for installation of 
less than 12 feet and 3/8" for 
more than 12 feet from a 1/2" 
water supply line.
