MIXING VALVE ADJUSTMENT:
For customers who wish to adjust the flavor of the drink, the mixing valve changes the water to
concentrate ratio. This valve is very sensitive. Only slight rotation of the mixing rod is needed
to change the ratio (1/16th to 1/8th of a turn). The standard setup, as the unit comes from the
factory, is approximately 7:1 ratio, which will give you a 5 to 8 percent brix based on the sweet
tea concentrate.
1. To adjust the valve, tilt the dispenser on it’s side.
2. Look underneath the unit and locate the adjusting rod.
3. Turn counter-clockwise for stronger drink – turn clockwise for weaker drink. Taste the tea
with each adjustment to determine the desired consistency.
CAUTION – Do not rotate adjusting rod more than 2 full turns from closed position. More turns will cause the
adjustment rod to disengage from the mixing valve, with a resulting leak.
CLEANING
STRAINER CLEAN-OUT
1. Turn off the water flow running from the facility to the strainer.
2. Use pliers to grab the housing of the strainer and with an adjustable wrench, remove the cap.
3. Take out the wire strainer and clean out the contents. Use a spiral bristled brush to clean inside the strainer.
4. Rinse the strainer and replace it into the housing.
5. Return the cap to the housing and turn on the water line.
DAILY CLEANING
Regular cleaning of the TCCN tea dispenser is essential in maintaining the highest quality iced tea your equipment is
capable of producing. Prepare a mild cleaning solution of dish washing detergent and warm water.
1. Wipe any spills, dust or debris from the exterior surfaces, with a damp cloth. Apply a stainless steel polish to
prevent scratches.
2. Turn off water supply at valve behind unit.
3. Open the dispensing faucet to relieve pressure in the dispensing lines.
4. Remove the top cover and clean with the cleaning solution.
5. Clean the faucet assembly.
a. Remove the handle/seat cup assembly from the faucet by holding the bonnet and unscrewing.
b. Clean the faucet cap and silicone seat cup assembly.
c. Use a spiral brush soaked in cleaning solution to clean inside the faucet body.
d. Run the brush through the adapter on the body of the dispenser.
6. Rinse and dry parts that were removed. Assemble the dry parts onto the unit.
WEEKLY CLEANING & SANITIZING
Use a concentrated cleaning solution to simplify the cleaning procedure. This procedure requires a one gallon
container of a cleaning solution containing hot water and a granulated concentrated cleaner (a cleaner like Coffee
Dispenser Cleaner Corporation #12580, Urnex or equivalent) and a one gallon container of clean hot water.
1. Turn on water supply to the dispenser.
2. Remove the quick disconnect from the tea concentrate bag.
3. Pull the cap off of the QCD (see detail drawing) and place this end of the line into the container containing the
cleaning solution.
4. Place a large empty container under the dispenser faucet.
5. Open the front faucet and dispense at least half of the cleaning solution.
