Please apply the following tips to insure peak performance from your LidSaver™single cup lid dispenser. Due to manufacturing defects, damaged lids or poorly

stacking lid types, reliability of your LidSaver™ may be less than 100%. Under these rare conditions your customer is still able to easily retrieve a lid.

2 LIDSAVER™ OPERATIONS

1. Before loading lids, check your lids tobe sure they match the manufacturer andlid number noted on the “lid plate label”.

2. Flake lids prior to loading to separate any lids pressed together during packaging. 4. If tabbed lids are being used, orient

all “lid tabs” either up (12:00) or down(6:00) to avoid interference with “lidclaws”.

3. Cup lids must be loaded with the top ofthe lid stack facing forward.


Your LidSaver™ single cup lid dispenser does not require any special maintenance beyondcleaning. To insure the maximum life of this product cleaning regularly inside and outusing a cotton cloth and mild soapy water (dish soap). Lubrication of door pivots as noted below is recommended periodically.Cleaning Instructions :1. Remove all lids from LidSaver™ dispenser2. Unhook door springs (2) from door using a screw driver or pliers

3. Remove LidSaver™ “Housing” (refer to installation instructions) 4. Wipe down all exposed surfaces with a cotton cloth and warm soapy water. 5. Saturate each “Pager Assembly” with warm soapy water several times. Flex flipper portion of pager as your cleaning to insure flippers operate freely.6. While pushing “Piston” to the back of the tube, wipe down bottom of

tube to keep piston operating freely. 7. Spread a small amount of thick-bodied lubricant (Food Grade Silicone, Vaseline, etc.) to each of the two (2) door pivot points. Apply lubricant with the door fully open and also underneath with the door in a closed position. Apply a

small amount of lubricant to each housing screw prior to installing. 8. Replace LidSaver™ “Housing” (refer to installation instructions) 9. Hook door springs (2) on door using screw driver or pliers

3 LIDSAVER™ MAINTENANCE

More than one lid releases when opening door. Possible Causes: Your lid may be incorrect for settings provided.Solution: Read label on “lid plate”. If this does not match your lids, order a “Lid Change Kit”to reset Lidsaver for your new lid.

Possible Causes: LidSaver may be overfilled with lids. When lids are compressed tootightly from overstocking they will not dispense well. Instruct staff to not overstock lids.

Solution: Remove lids and flake the stack. Avoid overstocking lids when loading.Possible Causes: “Pager flipper” not returning to proper working position after loading lid stack.Solution: Using warm soapy water thoroughly saturate pager and flipper until flipper operates freely.

Possible Causes: “Pager” not securely fastened down.

Solution: Grasp each “Pager” to see if any are loose and allow movement within their adjustment slot. Order a “Tune-up Kit” from Vollrath to set these components accurately.

One lid does not release consistently when opening door.Possible Causes: Your lid may be incorrect for settings providedSolution: Read label on “lid plate”. If this does not match your lids, order a “Lid Change Kit”for your specific lid to reset LidSaver™ for your new lid.

Possible Causes: LidSaver™may be overfilled with lids. When lids are compressed tootightly from overstocking they will not dispense well. Instruct staff to not overstock lids.

Solution: Remove lids and flake the stack. Avoid overstocking lids when loading.Possible Causes: Loss of or damage to “lid claws”Solution: Both claws are intended to have pivoting motion in the vertical direction. Look forhorizontal motion on one or the other claw. If horizontal motion is apparent tighten or replaceclaw screws.

6. Trouble Shooting:Refer to this chart to determine possible reasons for LidSaver™malfunction. Contact Vollrath® at 800-628-0832 for any additional support necessary.

4 TROUBLE SHOOTING

Look for:1. Sheared “lid claw pivot screw”. Replace using 6-32 nylon flat head machine screw. Replacement door pivot screws are attached in front of the piston behind the piston lid plate.2. Broken “lid claw”3. Broken “door” rib. Order parts as needed.

Possible Causes: “Piston” does not freely move to most forward positionSolution: “Piston” or “Piston Spring” may be fouled. Clean inside of tube. Apply furniture waxto bottom of tube to help piston operate more freely. If this does not eliminate the problem, contact Vollrath® at 800-628-0832 for repair or replacement.

Lids are damaged frequently when operating LidSaver™ Possible Causes: Your lid may be incorrect for settings provided.Solution: Read label on “lid plate” (see diagram). If this does not match your lids, order a “Lid Change Kit” to reset Lidsaver for your new lid.

Possible Causes: LidSaver may be overfilled with lids. When lids are compressed too tightly from overstocking they will not dispense well. Instruct staff to not overstock lids.

Solution: Remove lids and flake the stack. Avoid overstocking lids when loading.Possible Causes: One or more “Pagers” has migrated inward causing lids to be held too firmly.

Solution: Remove housing (installation instructions) and view “lid claw”/ lid relationship. Look to besure that “lid claws” reach behind first lid when the door is completely closed. If lids seem too tight andclaws seem not to reach back far enough, order “LSTU Tune-up Kit“ to re-set pagers accurately.

“Door” is dis-engaged from “Door Pivots” or becomes dis-engaged when opened too farPossible Causes: “Door pivot screws” have been shearedSolution: Remove sheared “door pivot screws” and replace using 0.75” - 1.00” 10-24 nylonround head machine screws. Replacement door pivot screws are attached in front of the piston behind the piston lid plate.

LidSaver™ Loading Procedures:

Getting the Best Dispensing Possible from Your LidSaver PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE LOADING LIDS.The LidSaver™ is a welcome addition to our self-service beverage presentation. Overloading the LidSaver™ with lids will cause the LidSaver™ to not dispense our lids the way it was intended to. Understanding and following this simple procedure will result in providing safe and clean lids to your customers.

Illustration ALids dispense well

Illustration BLids dispense poorly and crack

Illustration CLids are uniform and evenly spaced right out of the sleeve. They will dispense very well.

1. We Start With Excellent Lids. Our lids stack well and evenly (See Illustration A).

Taking the time to load them properly into the LidSaver™ is important for good dispensing.

2. What Happens When You Overload the LidSaver™? Lids are jammed together (See Illustration B) and it may dispense two or more lids.

Lids that are jammed into the

LidSaver™ will flatten and crack on the edge which wastes the lids.

Lids that are jammed into the

LidSaver™ will stick together and not dispense well.

OVERLOADING DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY BENEFIT!

3. How to Get the Best Out of Your LidSaver™. Your LidSaver™ dispenser holds a sleeve of lids which is approximately 100 lids. Do not insert any more lids than the dispenser naturally and easily accepts.

When inserting a partially filled LidSaver™ push new lids gently into place until you feel light resistance and then stop (See Illustration C ) .

Your Lidsaver™ dispensers are factory set to dispense the specific lids which are identified on the round “Pusher Plate” located inside the dispenser. Load only these lids into your LidSaver dispensers.

Never load flat lids into a LidSaver™ set up for dome coffee lids.

Over time “lid dust” or other debris may need to be

removed from the LidSaver to keep its appearance as

fresh and clean as possible. Follow these simple steps

as needed.

Tools: Flat and Phillips screwdriver, cotton cloth, mild

ceaning agent. Do not use power tools during these

steps. Excessive tightening may cause damage.

we recommend these procedures.

5. Saturate each “Pager Assembly” with warm soapy water

several times. Flex flipper portion of pager as your

cleaning to insure flippers operate freely.

6. While pushing “Piston” to the back of the tube, wipe

down bottom of tube to keep piston operating freely.

7. Spread a small amount of thick-bodied lubricant (Food

Grade Silicone, Vaseline, etc.) to each of the two (2) door

pivot points. Apply lubricant with the door fully open and

also underneath with the door in a closed position. Apply

a small amount of lubricant to each housing screw prior

to installing.
