Priming the Flavor Delivery System
The flavor system must be primed under the following circumstances:
 Initial setup of flavor system
 When a new flavor is introduced (e.g. caramel is replaced by
almond)
NOTE: The affected flavor tube MUST be cleaned before the
new flavor is introduced
 An air bubble needs to be purged from a tube
 When flavor tubing is replaced
 Replacing the syrup manifold
The Flavor Delivery System Priming Process (Automatic)
1. Press the service switch into the CLEAN position.
2. Navigate to MISCELLANEOUS > RUN SYRUP CLEAN and
follow the screen prompts to begin the syrup clean cycle.
NOTE: Ensure nozzles are connected to appropriate flavor box
connectors.
NOTE: To ensure tubes are properly primed, it may be
necessary to run this procedure twice. Verify each syrup tube is
primed by observing a smooth flow of syrup at the dispensing
nozzle.
NOTE: If flavor is not present at this point, run the RUN SYRUP
CLEAN cycle again.
To ensure all the syrup tubes are primed and functioning properly, pour
one drink per flavor.
Once all these steps are completed, stow all implements used, clean up
the work area, and place the service switch in the VEND position.
The Flavor Delivery System Priming Process (Manually)
To manually prime an individual syrup tube, navigate to TEST
ROUTINES > SYRUP and press the appropriate syrup button on the
touch pad menu. Press and hold the flavor button until the flavor comes
out continuously and smoothly.
If you are purging a flavor tube because of an air bubble, continually
press the appropriate flavor button until the air bubble passes. You will
know when this happens because the flavor will splutter, and then run
continuously and smoothly.
