How to Prime a Concordia XT Coffee Machine Flavor System
Concordia Beverage Systems XT espresso and specialty beverage machines allow commercial operators to dispense infused coffee beverages, mochas, and chai lattes at the touch of a button. Whenever you replace an empty syrup or sauce bottle in the internal cabinet, understanding how to prime a Concordia XT coffee machine flavor system is essential to clear air bubbles from the line and maintain precise drink flavoring.
Priming pulls syrup through the internal delivery lines to ensure the next beverage brewed receives the correct flavor ratio. Follow this simple seven-step procedure whenever syrup supplies are replenished.
Flavor System Priming Procedure
Perform this procedure immediately after connecting fresh syrup or sauce containers to the machine's flavor racks.
- Step 1. Enter service mode - Flip the service switch located behind the left door from VEND to CLEAN and close the door.
- Step 2. Access the flavor prime menu - Select FLAVOR PRIME on the touchscreen display.
- Step 3. Select the target flavor - Select the flavor sauce that needs to be primed on the touchscreen (options include Chocolate Sauce, Caramel, Vanilla, Chai Latte, Hazelnut, and Sugar Free Vanilla).
- Step 4. Start the pump cycle - Press START PRIME on the touchscreen to activate the internal syrup delivery pump.
