DRINK MACHINE MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Hut Captains are advised to check the machine on their day of arrival. At this time the machine should be filled to capacity for each type of drink. It would then probably only require filling towards the end of the week

To Open Machine:

1. Insert key (located on the main key ring in the kitchen) and turn clockwise. The handle should pop out.

2. Turn handle anti-clockwise whilst simultaneously pulling the door until it opens. This will take quite a few turns to release the screw.

3. Once the door is open, check the level of the drink cans in each flavour. The order of dispensing slots is from right to left which matches the order of the front panel display from top to bottom.

4. To empty the money bin, open the cover panel on the back of the door. At the lower left there is a dark grey metal (galvanised) box with a hole in the top right corner. Lift the box out by tipping the top of the box outwards then lifting.

coins should be collected at the end of the week, counted and given to the manager.

 

To Close Machine:

1. Close the door then screw the handle in (several turns required) until the seal on the door contacts the main body and some resistance is felt on the handle

2. Push the handle back into the recess until it locks into place.

 

Trouble Shooting

Insufficient or No Change given:

The change reservoir(s) has been exhausted. This can be remedied by opening the door and re-filling the change reservoir(s), however this is tedious and not recommended.

A preferred solution is to use coins other than $2 coins as much as possible and only use $2 coins as a last resort. The use of $1 /50c / 20c / 10c / 5c coins will automatically replenish the change reservoirs as required. Change should be put into machine slowly so that the machine can recognise and count each coin.

Empty Slots:

If any flavour slot is emptied, a red light will be displayed on the front panel. A brief check for these warning lights should be done each morning.

OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR WATER, GAS AND ELECTRICITY WATER

1. The water-main supply valve is located on the south (other) side of the roadway and is approximately opposite the back fire escape door.

2. The water supply valve to the Lodge (excluding kitchen and Manager's flat) is located inside the vanity unit in the Gents' bathroom. A small sign has been placed on the vanity to make people aware of this supply

3. The water supply valve to the Kitchen and Manager's flat is located outside, below the grate approximately underneath the southern window of the Manager's flat.

4. There is a stop-valve located above the ceiling of the Ladies toilets (remove cover plate), normally in the closed position. This valve connects the two hot water systems in times of emergency, e.g. if the kitchen hot water system fails, open this valve and the Boiler Room tanks will also feed the Kitchen and Manager's flat.

In the event of an emergency, it is important for the managers, the Committee members and as many members as possible to be aware of these four locations.
