Important

This publication must be saved for future reference.

Read instructions before attempting installation.

PREPARATION

The Multiplex Beverage Equipment Post Mix Refrigeration

Unit is pre-assembled in the factory and requires minimum

installation.

For future reference or to be used when ordering parts,

record the Model Number, Serial Number, Part Numbers

of Unit, Condenser (if remote), Towers, etc., and Date of

Installation on the inside of this Manual. Leave manual on

site in a safe place. Do not discard manual.

Ambient Location Requirement

This equipment is rated for indoor use only. It will not

operate in sub-freezing temperature. In a situation when

temperatures drop below freezing, the equipment must be

turned off immediately and properly winterized. Contact

the manufacturer for winterization process.

Electrical

GENERAL

Warning

All wiring must conform to local, state and national

codes.

MINIMUM CIRCUIT AMPACITY

The minimum circuit ampacity is used to help select the

wire size of the electrical supply. (Minimum circuit ampacity

is not the beverage/ice machine’s running amp load.)

The wire size (or gauge) is also dependent upon location,

materials used, length of run, etc., so it must be determined

by a qualified electrician.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Refer to Ice Machine Model/Serial Plate for voltage/

amperage specifications.

Why is my Manitowoc Multiplex SC2000A Chiller beverage too sweet and how to fix it?
- C
  Cody NorrisAug 5, 2025
  If the beverage dispensed by your Manitowoc Chiller is too sweet, it could be due to a few reasons. The flow control might be out of adjustment, so try adjusting it. Another possibility is insufficient soda flow caused by low carbonator pressure; in this case, adjust the CO pressure or change the tank. Leaks causing low CO pressure could also be the culprit, so repair any CO leaks. Finally, check for any obstructions in the water or soda line and clean them out.

What to do if my Manitowoc Multiplex SC2000A is dispensing only syrup and CO2?
- T
  Theodore MorganAug 9, 2025
  If your Manitowoc Chiller is only dispensing syrup and CO2, there might be a few issues. First, check the power supply and ensure the carbonator is plugged in or reset the breaker. Also, make sure the water supply is turned on. Replacing the water filter might help. Additionally, check, clean, or replace the pump strainer and the water check valve. For internal carbonator units, check for frozen water lines. If none of these work, the carbonator itself might be defective, so check, repair, or replace the carbonator pump, motor, electrode, or liquid level control.

Why are my drinks foaming from Manitowoc Chiller?
- B
  Brandy WeissAug 13, 2025
  If your drinks are foaming when dispensed from your Manitowoc Chiller, it could be due to over carbonation. Check the CO supply and reset the pressure or replace the regulator as necessary. Another possible cause is dirty lines or valves, so clean and sanitize the entire system.

What to do if my Manitowoc Multiplex SC2000A beverage is not sweet enough?
- R
  robert94Aug 18, 2025
  If the beverage from your Manitowoc Chiller isn't sweet enough, it could be that the flow control is out of adjustment; try adjusting it. Another possibility is that the soda flow is too high, so reset the CO pressure or replace the regulator if necessary. Also, check for any obstructions in the syrup line and clean it out.

What to do if my Manitowoc Multiplex SC2000A Chiller is dispensing only syrup and plain water with no pressure?
- T
  Teresa CarterAug 21, 2025
  If your Manitowoc Chiller is dispensing only syrup and plain water without pressure, ensure you install a fresh CO2 tank. Also, adjust the HP regulator to the proper setting or check, repair, or replace the HP regulator if it's defective. Inspect the CO line for any pinches, kinks, or obstructions and repair or replace as needed.

How to fix Manitowoc Multiplex SC2000A when water is only dispensing with no pressure?
- C
  Carolyn McdonaldAug 27, 2025
  If your Manitowoc Chiller is only dispensing water with no pressure, the regulator(s) may be out of adjustment; check and adjust them. You might also be out of CO2, so install a fresh tank. Defective regulators could also be the issue, so check, repair, or replace them. Finally, inspect the CO line for any pinches, kinks, or obstructions and repair or replace the CO line.

What to do if one valve on my Manitowoc Multiplex SC2000A won't dispense anything?
- W
  watsonrichardAug 30, 2025
  If one valve on your Manitowoc Chiller isn't dispensing anything, and you've confirmed there's power to the valve, it could be due to a broken wire or loose connection; replace or repair the wire or connector. Alternatively, the microswitch might be bad, so replace it.
