•

Place on a solid weight bearing level surface out of the reach of children. Children and persons unfamiliar with theequipment should only use it under supervision. Not observing these precautions may cause burns, electric shock and other injury.

The appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction.

Children being supervised are not to play with the appliance. Not observing these precautions may cause burns, electric shock and other injury.

Never place outside. This system is for indoor use only.

Never attempt to change the specification or modify systems in any way. Any attempt to do so may result in fire or injury. If in need of assistance, please contact customer service or your local MARS DRINKS™ supplier.

Ensure access to the rear of the system can be achieved easily to allow isolation of the electrical and water supply.

Under no circumstances should you attempt to perform any servicing or repairs on this system.

Inexperienced persons may cause injury or malfunction. Always call customer service or your local MARS

DRINKS™ supplier.

Do not immerse in water.

Only clean specified areas with appropriate materials as instructed.

Do not install where a water jet could be used.

Supervise if any children, aged or infirm persons are using the system.

Never use without placing a cup under the water outlet. Hot water may get caught in the lid and drip tray causing burns.

Drain water tank. Keep upright for transportation and storage. All water must be drained from the equipment if it is to be stored or transported where it could be subjected to temperatures of 0˚C or below. If the equipment has been subjected to temperatures of 0˚C or below, then the brewer should be left at room temperature for no less than 2 hours before powering on. Water freezing inside the brewer or running the equipment with frozen water could cause damage to the machine causing leaks which could result in electric shock.

An ambient temperature range of +41°F (5°C) to +86°F (30°C) is recommended for system location.

The system is flash tested before it leaves the manufacturing premises. Repeated flash testing could damage insulation.

The A-weighted sound pressure level is below 70 dB

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AND CORD

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

Never do anything that might cause damage to the cord or plug, (such as modify them, place hot or heavy objects on them, bend them, stretch them, or twist them). If the appliance is used when damaged, electrical short circuit or fire may result. If in need of repair please contact your local MARS DRINKS™

Customer Service Officer.

Clean the plug from dust regularly using a clean cloth. A build-up of dust on the plug will attract condensation, which could cause cable damage resulting in fire.

The appliance must be earthed. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.

Make sure the plug is correctly inserted in the power socket. An unsafe plug may cause electric shock or generate heat resulting in fire.

Do not use a damaged power cord, mains plug or power socket. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, injury or malfunction.

Power socket must not be used with other appliances. When used alongside other appliances, heat generated may result in fire.

Never plug or unplug the appliance with wet hands. This may result in electric shock.

Water to be cold drinking water and sodium free.

Install in accordance with local plumbing regulations.

Connect mains water to filter with 3/8 in. NPT male fitting.

Jointing compound should not be used in the water supply to the system as this will affect the drink flavor, only use PTFE tape.

Do not locate the water supply above the mains power socket.

We draw your attention to the requirements of the Water Supply ( Water fittings) Regulations 1999

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

Electrical Supply:

It is important that you have a power supply ready so that we can install your new system quickly and efficiently.

You will need to supply a suitably rated and protected (i.e. via RCD and/or MCB) incoming supply. The machine must be connected to the supply via an earthed wall socket ideally incorporating a switch.

Please refer to the rating label on the back of the machine for details of the supply voltage, frequency and power rating required to operate the brewer.

Use only one system per socket and ensure it is earthed.

Your system is fitted or comes supplied with a mains lead that is a minimum of 5’9” (1.75m) in length. Only this lead should be used, no old leads should be re-used.

PRIMING THE HOT WATER SYSTEM

(INITIAL INSTALL ONLY)

You cannot brew beverages if you have not primed the brewer first! The priming cycle fills the hot tanks with water and removes any air from the system. After this, your brewer will be ready for use.

NOTE: Unless the system is fully primed the water heaters will not be enabled.

The brewer will now start to fill the boilers with water from the cold tank. The message at the bottom of the screen will change to show “ HOT TANKS FILLING”. The filling sequence will take approximately 2 minutes after which the screen will change to show “ WATER HEATING”.

Notice

When priming, the brewer will automatically stop the water when sufficient water has been pumped. If for any reason you need to stop the water pumping during the prime, press the “

Disable” option. This will stop the pump. You will need to re-start the priming sequence again by pressing “ Prime” when ready.
