Hot Drink Center Set-Up Manual III. Grinder Adjustment A grind that is within the acceptable range will result in more controlled dispensing of grounds into the brew basket, and better extraction of coffee flavors. A grind that is too coarse results in poor extraction and spraying grounds in the brewer area. A grind that is too fine can overload the grinder motor as well as clog the screens in the brew basket and funnel.
Hot Drink Center Set-Up Manual IV. Disengaging the Grinder At certain times, the bean grinder(s) need to be disengaged from the bean canister(s).

Hot Drink Center Set-Up Manual SANITATION I. Basics INTRODUCTION Anybody who services vending machines must use proper sanitizing procedures. Health regulations require that hands be clean when cups, commodities, and food-contact parts are handled or serviced. In addition, Federal and State Health Departments require regular cleaning and sanitizing procedures for food contact parts. The information in this section will explain how to clean and sanitize the merchandiser on a day to day basis.
Hot Drink Center Set-Up Manual In either case, the object must be thoroughly clean and completely rinsed in order for the sanitizing process to work. Caked-on soils not removed by cleaning, for example, may shield bacteria from a sanitizing solution. A GOOD PLACE TO START -- YOUR SANITATION KIT You need to be sure that each machine is clean, safe, and functioning when you leave it. In order to properly do this, you need to have a complete set of the right tools.
Hot Drink Center Set-Up Manual II. Clean the Hot Water Tank Some smell and/or taste problems may occur in new machines. Follow this procedure to clean the hot water tank if you experience problems: 7. 8. If the machine is in service, remove power from the machine. Dissolve 1 tablespoon of common baking soda in a cup of water. WARNING The water tank may be HOT. Be careful when working on the tank. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16.
