Installation Procedures
Important notice: This procedure should only be carried out by an engineer
or staff trained by Waterlogic International or an approved distributing agent.
1. Site the machine with a 50mm. air gap at both sides and back. Mount the machine
on a firm flat surface so that it cannot topple over.
2. Level the machine using the adjustable feet.
3. It is advisable that the water supply and electrical supply is within 2 Meters of the
machine.
4. Remove the top cover of the machine. If you are installing a freestanding machine
also remove the lower front cover. This is retained by two clips located under the
front edge at the bottom of the cover, push clips up to release.
5. Before connecting the CO
2
bottle to the machine prepare the gas bottle by
removing the dust cover (if fitted). Now face the gas outlet away from you and
momentarily turn the gas on and off by twisting the knob located on the gas bottle.
This will allow a high pressure burst of CO
2
gas to clean any dust and dirt from the
fittings. Now attach the gas regulator to the bottle and the gas pipe to the push
fitting on the regulator. The pressure of the regulator should be set at 45PSI. Locate
the gas bottle inside the machine and strap the gas bottle to the holder and turn on
the gas. On mini machines, the gas will be located on the outside of the machine.
6. Make the water connection to the water supply pipe using an installation kit, turn
on the water supply and flush the pipe until water supply runs clear of any dirt; then
make the water connection to rear of the machine. Ensure that the water supply is
turned on. The minimum working pressure is 30PSI/2 bar. The ideal pressure is 42
PSI/3bar.
7. Check the electrical socket, and then make the electrical connection to the
machine, plugging the power lead into the rear of the machine, then connecting to
the electrical socket. Make sure that the red and green switches located at the rear
of the machine are off before connecting the electrical supply to the machine. Do
not at this stage turn on these switches.
8. The water temperature of the machine is factory set at 5ºC for still/cold water and
87ºC for hot water. Sparkling water will automatically be colder than the still water
as the cold tank system is designed to do this. It is possible to adjust the still water
warmer or colder. It is advised not to adjust the cold water temperature as this could
result in the cold tank freezing, or impairing the quality of the sparkling water.
9. Purge CO
2
gas through the carbonation tank by lifting the yellow lever on the
relief valve located on top of the carbonation tank for a few seconds.
10. Turn on the Red Power switch at the rear of the machine.
11. Flush 10 litres of water through the hot tank. To do so, depress the hot water
button at the same time as the sparkling button, if installing a hot & cold machine.
The first few litres of water through the machine may have a dark appearance. This
is due to a small amount of carbon being released from the water filter when they
are new. It is harmless and will disappear very quickly whilst you flush the machine.
12. Now depress the cold water button, this will flush water through the still cold
tanks. Flush 5 litres. The sparkling water tank will automatically fill.
13. Check the machine for any water leaks or gas leaks.
14. Once you are satisfied that water is passing through both the hot and cold tank
successfully then turn on the green heater compressor switch. The machine will
now start to heat and chill.
15. The hot water will heat rapidly but it will take about approximately 40 minutes
before the cold temperature reaches its set point.
16. When the machine has reached the target temperature the compressor will stop
running. The temperature will continue to drop, as any ice that has formed on the
sides of the tanks will start to melt and equalize the tank temperature.
17. To measure the water temperatures, please ensure that an accurate previously
calibrated thermometer is available.
18. Once the machine has reached the correct temperatures then please ensures
that the cold still and sparkling water produced tastes good. A plastic taste indicates
that the machine needs to be flushed again.
