4.
Remove the top cover from the Cube by undoing the two screws located at the
back of the machine, then slide the panel backwards and lift up.
5.
Take out the filter by un-clicking the loop at the top of the housing and pulling it
in an upward motion. If there are two filters in the machine then both of these need
to be removed.
6.
Unscrew the filter housing(s) and remove the filter cartridge, place this to one
side as this will need to be re-fitted this once you have completed the sanitising
procedure.
7.
Measure 40ml of Aqua Dosa sanitising fluid into one of the empty filter housings
and securely fasten the filter head. Re-fit the filter(s) into the machine pushing it
firmly into place.
8.
Replace the top cover and re-connect the power lead, then turn on the red switch
at the rear of the machine. Turn the water supply back on.
9.
Dispense cold water until the sanitisation fluid leaves the faucet, this can be
checked by dispensing cold water until the colour of the test strip has changed to
indicate the presence of the sanitisation fluid (Normally about 400-500ml of water
needs to be dispensed). Do not let any sanitisation fluid enter the hot tank.
10.
Leave the sanitisation fluid inside the machine for a minimum of 10-15 minutes,
when this time has been reached, flush water through the machine until there is
no sanitisation fluid left inside. You can use your test strips to check that all of the
sanitisation fluid has been effectively flushed out.
11.
Turn off the water supply to the machine and release the internal pressure by
selecting the cold option until the water stops being dispensed. Isolate the power to
the machine by switching the red switch at the rear of the machine off and removing
the power lead.
12.
Remove the top cover from the machine and take out the filter(s) and unscrew
the filter housing, pour the excess water down the drain and re-fit the cartridge.
13.
Re-fit the filter(s) into the machine, pushing it firmly into place. Replace the top
cover and re-connect the power lead, then turn on the red and green switches at
the rear of the machine. Turn on the water supply.
14.
Select the hot icon, then select and hold the main dispense button immediately
after selecting the hot icon
15.
Dispense at least 200ml of hot water
16.
The machine will now begin to heat/ chill the water
17.
Inspect the faucet nipple and clean or replace if it is damaged or if there any
calcium built up around it.
18.
Using the antibacterial wipes, sufficiently clean the exterior panels of the
machine, including the drip tray and grill.
DE-SCALING
You will need the following items:
• A Phillips screwdriver
• A pair of rubber gloves
• De-scale solution or powder
• A funnel or large syringe
• A container that can hold 5 litres
• Non-abrasive anti-bacterial wipe or cloth
1.
Put on the rubber gloves to minimise the chance of any contamination to the
machine and to protect yourself whilst the de-scaling procedure is being carried
out.
2.
Allow the machine to heat the water up to normal operating temperature, as the
water inside the tank needs to be hot for the de-scaling solution to work effectively.
3.
You will need to stop the water supply to the machine by turning the isolation
valve to the off position and releasing the pressure by selecting the cold water
option until the water stops being dispensed.
4.
Isolate the power to the Cube by turning the red and green power switches off,
these are located at the rear of the machine. Remove the power lead as a second
safety precaution.
5.
Remove the top cover from the Cube by undoing the two screws located at the
back of the machine, then slide the panel backwards and lift up.
6.
Take out the filter by un-clicking the loop at the top of the housing and pulling it
in an upward motion. If there are two filters in the machine then both of these need
to be removed.
7.
Unscrew the filter housing(s) and remove the filter cartridge, place this to one
side as this will need to be re-fitted this once you have completed the de-scaling
procedure.
8.
Drain 50-100ml of hot water from the machine into one of the empty filter housings,
using the drainage valve at the rear of the machine. Then use this hot water from the
machine to make your de-scaling solution, following the manufacturer’s instructions
of the descaler. Re-assemble the filter housing with the de-scale solution inside.
9.
Re-fit the filter(s) into the machine pushing it firmly into place. Replace the top
cover and re-connect the power lead, then turn on the red switch at the rear of the
machine. Turn the water supply back on.
10.
Place your container under the dispense area and flush through 500ml of hot
water. Allow the solution to remain in the tank for 5 – 10 minutes.
11.
Turn off the water supply to the machine and release the internal pressure by
