This should be done in conjunction with the recommended weekly cleaning of your machine. The Hoppers must 

be empty before starting.

1.  Prepare a 1 gallon cleaning solution consisting of 1 gallon of hot water and a sanitizing cleaner which contains 

3-5% chlorine based sanitizer. Mix per manufacturers instructions

2.  Remove connectors from each concentrate container and place them directly into the cleaning solution. 

3.  Energize each refill station and allow the cleaning solution to pump through the system into the hoppers. The 

cleaning procedure should remove the color stains from the tubing. If not, prepare another gallon of cleaning 

solution and repeat.

4.  After the cleaning solution has been pumped into the hoppers, rinse the cleaning solution container with hot 

water.

5.  Fill the cleaning solution container with hot water. Energize each refill station and rinse thoroughly. The amount 

of clean hot rinse water should equal the amount of cleaning solution pumped through the system.

6.   Empty the hoppers of your machine and follow the recommended cleaning instructions.

 

NOTE: The hoses should be checked monthly for deterioration, cracks and possible discoloration from some 

concentrates. Replace the tubing when necessary.

1.  Remove the top access panel.

2.  Connect the test hose to the “WATER OUTPUT” to be adjusted.

3.  Connect the provided hose (or other suitable water hose) to the “WATER INPUT”.

4.  Ensure water regulator is set at 20 psi(137.9 kPa).  Press the “TEST OUTPUT” switch and while water is

a little at a time. Repeat from the preceding step until correct.
