Operations

Manual Dispensing

Place a cup under the tap outlet using the cup to push the red trigger back towards the tap. Dispensing will begin immediately.

The dispense can either be manually stopped by removing the cup or allowed to fill until the maximum Dose Time is reached. When the maximum Dose Time is reached the dispense will automatically stop.

NOTE: The red trigger can push an empty lightweight paper or plastic cup over before enough liquid has been poured to make the cup heavy enough to hold the trigger down.

Batched Brew Coffee

When Freepour Batch DS is being used to dispense hot or cold batch brewed coffee with no additives the lines must be flushed daily at the end of service with fresh clean water.

To eliminate the possible build up of coffee oils and solids the lines need to be cleaned at least once each week with Cafetto Evo Espresso Machine Powder.

Airpots

When loading airpots strong magnets automatically connect the airpot to the dispenser. For this to happen the magnetic connector on the top of the dip tube must be in range of the magnetic connector on the bottom of the dispenser.

To Prepare the airpot:

 

  1. Remove the pump action lid and dip tube that came with the airpot. These are not used with Freepour Batch;

  2. Place the stopper in the airpot as shown to the left;

  3. Feed the dip tube into the airpot through the hole in the stopper.

Loading Airpots

 

Connecting airpots:

  1. Place the airpot on the Airpot Guide and push it into place.

 

 

 

 

 

Reloading During Service:

  1. Pull the magnetic connector down and remove the airpot from the Airpot Frame;

  2. Reload as described in Loading Airpots.

NOTE: After reloading, air will be present in the tap, dip tube and pumps. It can be useful to activate a dose after reloading to remove this air.

Changing the Dose Time

The maximum Dose Time setting can be changed to set the maximum volume of product that can be dispensed during the dispense cycle. Changes are made via the Control Unit:

 

  1. Use the right arrow keys to navigate through MENU / MAXIMUM DOSE ADJ and to enter into the MAXIMUM DOSE ADJ menu;

  2. Use + and - navigation keys to change the maximum dose time (in seconds) for Tap A;

  3. Use the down arrow key to navigate to Tap B and use + and navigation keys to change the maximum dose time (in seconds) for Tap B;

  4. Use left arrow key to navigate back to the FREEPOUR screen.

 

 

Freepour Batch DS Screens

A device such as a desktop or laptop computer, tablet or smart phone can be used to upload assets onto the Freepour Batch DS Control Unit over a Wi-Fi network.

An internet browser is used to load assets and to control their behaviour on the screens. The page that enables you to control the screens is called the Freepour Admin Page.

Refer to User Manual and Installation Guide for instructions.

Cleaning

WARNING: Never leave any beverages overnight in the Freepour Batch DS.

Daily

SIMPLE RINSE - NO CHEMICAL

  1. Remove airpot(s) and empty the contents;

  2. Pour approximately 1 litre of cold clean water into an airpot for each tap your machine has;

  3. Place the dip tube into the airpot and load the airpot(s);

  4. Use a cup to activate doses on each tap until the water from each tap runs clear.

Weekly

CHEMICAL - CAFETTO EVO

  1. Enter the cleaning routine screen via the Control Unit: MENU > CLEANING ROUTINE; NOTE: If your machine has more than two taps you will have more than one Control Unit. The cleaning routine is activated on each Control Unit.

  2. Remove airpots and empty the contents;

  3. Use a clean measuring jug to prepare 1 litre of cleaning solution for each tap using warm water (40-50c) and dissolve 4 level scoops of Cafetto Evo Powder.;
    NOTE: For a Freepour Batch DS Double, mix 2 litres.

CAUTION: When using Cafetto Evo powder, ensure powder is fully dissolved before running the cleaning routine. If the powder is not dissolved then it can jam the pumps and stall the motors. If this happens, the powder may dissolve overnight and allow the pumps to operate but it's more likely a technician will need to attend to physically dismantle the pumps to remove the undissolved powder.

  1. Pour 1 litre of the cleaning solution into 1 airpot for each tap your machine has;

  2. Place the dip tube into the airpot and load the airpots

  3. Initiate the cleaning routine via the Control Unit: ACITVATE > YES;

NOTE: The cleaning routine runs unassisted for around 15 minutes. During this time the tap(s) will periodically dispense a short burst of cleaning solution. A progress bar on the Control Unit screen shows the progress of the cleaning routine.

  1. At the 15 minute mark ACTIVATE WATER FLUSH? is displayed on the Control Unit screen. Remove the airpot(s) and empty remaining cleaning solution. Rinse and fill each airpot with approximately 1L of cold water. Load as directed in Step 5;

  2. Activate the water flush via the Control Unit: ACTIVATE WATER FLUSH? > YES;

NOTE: The water flush runs unassisted for around 30 seconds. Once the water flush has finished FREEPOUR MENU > will be displayed on the Control Unit screen.

  1. Remove and rinse airpot(s);

  2. Lift the grate out of the sink and rinse thoroughly under clean water;

  3. Use a soft cloth and food-safe cleaner to clean around each tap outlet;

CAUTION: Do not use a bottle brush to clean inside the Freepour Batch DS tap outlets.

  1. Use a soft cloth and food-safe cleaner to clean all external surfaces, including inside the sink;

  2. Replace the grate.

The system does not turn on.

Check that the Control Unit is plugged into a power outlet and the outlet is switched on.

The power cord may be accidentally removed from the outlet, or the outlet may be switched off.

Connect power cord to a functioning outlet, turn on and ensure the circuit breaker for the outlet has not tripped. Or;

Confirm the outlet is working by plugging another appliance that is known to be working.

The circuit breaker for the power outlet may have been tripped or has been switched off.

Call a service technician.

Machine does not dispense when a cup is placed on the sensor.

A service technician may be able to diagnose this.

The sensor may have become unplugged or is malfunctioning.

Call s service technician.

Automated dose is different to what is expected.

Check dose volumes on both taps.

Dose volumes may have been changed.

Check the dose settings and change if required.

Audible ‘gurgling’ sound and nothing is dispensed.

Or;

Beverage being dispensed is exceptionally bubbly.

Check to see that the magnetic connector is in place.

Check to see that the o-ring in magnetic connector is in place and not damaged.

Check to see that airpot is not empty.

If an airpot is loaded off centre, side pressure on the dip tube may mean the magnetic connector cannot seal properly.

A missing or damaged o-ring will mean the connector in the airpot cannot seal against the connector in the bottom of the dispenser.

Try moving the airpot into a new position so there is no side pressure on the dip tube.

Replace the o-ring.

Magnetic connector does not automatically connect.

Slowly lift the connector in the airpot close to the connector in the bottom of the dispenser to see if it automatically connects.

The incorrect combination of airpot, airpot frame and stopper may mean that the connectors are out of magnetic range.

Refer to Airpots information above and make necessary changes.
