Worksafe
- Wash hands before starting work and after handling anything not food related.

Brixing Drink System
- Ensure you are using the correct brix cup
- Remove the nozzle from drink valve head
- Remove the diffuser from drink valve head
- Attach the syrup separator to the drink head
- Center the brix cup under the separator so that the carbonated water is dispensed into the center cup, and the syrup is dispensed into the small cup
- Depress the drink lever until the center cup is filled to the “ratio line” with carbonated water
Adjusting Ratio For Drink System
- Lift the cover of the valve head to expose the syrup and carbonated water adjustment screws
- The syrup adjustment screw will always be on the right
- The carbonated water adjustment screw will always be on the left
- Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase the amount of syrup or carbonated water
- Continue to adjust the levels of the syrup and carbonated water until the levels are exact in the brix cup
- Clean the diffuser and push it back into place
- Twist the nozzle back into place
- Close the cover on the valve head
Cleaning The Drink System
- Remove nozzles and diffusers
- In the 3-compartment sink wash, rinse, and sanitize nozzles and diffusers
- Place the nozzles and diffusers on a clean sanitized serving tray
- Place the serving tray on the front counter to air dry overnight
- Dayshift opener will put the nozzles and diffusers back onto drink systems
- Wipe down valves activating levers, towers and heads
- Use a stiff brush to clean the underside of the valve head where the diffuser and nozzle attach
