Overview/Before beginning:
This article provides instructions for sanitizing the Bevi Standup 1.x or 0.75 machines after receiving a “Sanitation Required” alert, following periods of low or no usage, or as needed. It is important to keep the Bevi clean for quality and food safety requirements, as well as to maintain a great customer experience with each beverage dispense.

- Task 2: Sanitize Flavor Lines
- Task 3: Ensure the Ice Bank is full
- Task 4: Flush the Filter and Buffer Tank

Required Tools & Parts
- Recommended: V1.5 Flavor Line Cleaning Manifold - (P/N #720-0231)
- 1 packet Chlorine-Based Sanitizer - (from 5-PACK: P/N #720-0144)
- 5 gallon bucket
- Spray Bottle
- Microfiber Towels
- Cleaning brushes
- Glass Cleaner
- Cleaning/Sanitary Gloves (Nitrile or similar)
-
OPTIONAL: Sanitation Kit - (P/N #720-0169)
- One sanitation kit can clean up to 10 Bevi machines. The kit includes the following: -1x collapsible bucket, -12x microfiber towels, -1x spray bottle, -10x chlorine based sanitizer packets, -1x compressed air duster, and -3x cleaning brushes.
- With this kit, you will still need the V1.5 Flavor Line Cleaning Manifold, and glass cleaner separately.
ℹ️ NOTE: If a flavor line cleaning manifold (P/N #720-0231) is not on-hand, the flavor lines can still be sanitized individually, one-at-a-time. However, we strongly recommend saving time by using the cleaning manifold/sanitation tool to allow all 4 lines to be sanitized at once.
Task 1: Prepare the Sanitization solution
- Before starting, put on sanitary gloves.
- In the 5 gallon bucket, prepare the chlorine-based sanitizer solution.
- Fill the bucket with 3 gallons of hot water.
- Dissolve one 1-oz. packet of Chlorine Sanitizer in the hot water.
- Once dissolved, dip your spray bottle into the bucket to fill the bottle.
- This will be used to clean various areas of the Bevi.
- Leave the remaining sanitizer in the bucket until finished as you will use this to soak certain parts of the Bevi.
Task 2: Sanitize Flavor Lines
- On the screen, enter the Service Panel.
- Touch the Service icon, then “Start Service”, and enter PIN code: “1986”

- Disconnect all 4 flavor connectors from the flavor boxes.
- Leave the flavor boxes in their respective slots to avoid reinstalling them incorrectly.
- Disconnect each flavor connector from the flavor lines.
- Disconnect the push-to-connect fittings on the connectors from the 1/4” tubing.
- Place all 4 flavor connectors into the bucket of sanitizer solution.
- Allow the flavor connectors to soak in the solution for a minimum of 1 minute.
- While flavor connectors soak, use a cleaning brush to thoroughly clean each connector.
- Connect the Flavor Line Cleaning Manifold to each of the flavor lines.
- Ensure the 1/4” flavor line is fully seated into the push-to-connect fittings.
- Place the open ends of the Flavor Line Cleaning Manifold tubing into the bucket with sanitizer solution.
- From the Service Panel screen, prime each flavor line with sanitizer solution.
- Press and hold the “Prime” button for 30 seconds for each flavor.
- Allow sanitizer solution to sit in the flavor lines for a minimum of 2 minutes.
- While waiting for flavor lines to sit with sanitizer solution, remove the drip tray from the front of the door.
- Slide the drip tray out of the door.
- Bring to nearest sink and dump out any excess liquid.
- Disassemble the drip tray by removing the metal grate.
- Place drip tray components into the bucket with sanitizer solution.
- Allow to soak in solution for a minimum of 1 minute.
- Slide the drip tray out of the door.
- Remove the open end of the Flavor Line Cleaning Manifold tubing from the bucket of sanitizer solution.
- Allow any excess fluid to drain into the bucket.
- Remove flavor connectors and drip tray from the bucket.
- Thoroughly rinse all components with hot water.
- Thoroughly scrub and clean the drip tray.
- Empty out the bucket of sanitizer solution.
- Thoroughly rinse any remaining sanitizer solution out.

- Disconnect the Flavor Line Cleaning Manifold, and reconnect all 4 flavor connectors to the flavor lines.
- Ensure the 1/4” flavor tubing is fully seated into the push-to-connect fittings.
- Reconnect each connector to its associated flavor box.
- Prime the flavors.
- While holding a container under the nozzle, prime all flavor/enhancements for 10 seconds each to evacuate any remaining clean water and prime with flavor concentrate.
Task 3: Ensure the Ice Bank is full
For Standup 1.5 Machines:

- Once drained, you can remove the overflow tube from the chiller to thoroughly rinse it out.
- Reinstall the overflow tube.
- With the open end of the overflow tube draining straight down into a collection container, open the ice bank fill valve to begin topping off the ice bank.
- Fill the ice bank until water begins to flow from the overflow tube.
- As soon as water is flowing from the tube, close the ice bank fill valve.
