Maintenance Tips        

• Run daily rinse cycle: Flush both dispense sides until liquid runs clear to remove concentrate residue and prevent flavor contamination.
• Clean mix chambers & nozzles daily: Prevent clogging from coffee concentrate buildup and ensure consistent flavor delivery.
• Sanitize product lines regularly: Use approved cleaning/sanitizing solution to keep concentrate lines hygienic and prevent bacterial growth.
• Check and clean dispense tips: Remove blockages to maintain proper flow rate and accurate mixing ratios.
• Empty and clean drip tray daily: Avoid overflow, odor buildup, and sticky residue accumulation.
• Inspect BIB (bag-in-box) connectors: Ensure secure fit and no air leaks to maintain correct product draw and prevent weak dispensing.
• Monitor rinse alarm system: Always complete rinse cycles when prompted to avoid lockouts and maintain performance.
• Wipe exterior surfaces daily: Use mild detergent only—avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage panels and labels.
• Preventive pump/tube checks: Inspect for wear or stiffness; replace tubing periodically to maintain consistent flow and mix accuracy.
