CONNECTING THE HOSES FOR WATER-COOLING
Cold Water Connection: A 6’ (1.8 m) black supply hose is supplied with the machine. This hose with
factory ends supplies all the cold water to cool the product when pasteurization is finished. It can
connect to any normal domestic pressure cold water source including a hose, but it MUST BE ON AT
ALL TIMES DURING OPERATION. Using the supplied hose, attach one end to the threaded solenoid
valve on the back of the unit, with the other end going to a regular hose bib supply. NOTE: If water
pressures exceed 80psi (5.5BAR), install a pressure reducer.
WATER DRAIN: This 4’ black hose must be connected to the back of Matilda® as shown in the image
using the provided clamp. It should be directed to a drain, cistern, stock tank or other collection
system. Do not connect the drain hose to another hose or to any system that can create back-
pressure. This will prevent proper cooling and will cause the machine to overflow which may damage
sensitive electrical components and void your warranty. If you wish to salvage the waste water direct
the drain line to a 5-gallon bucket and place an inexpensive sump pump in that bucket to send water
where it needs to go.
It is important to keep water turned on anytime the pasteurizer is in operation to prevent damage to
the heating elements.
