MOTOR DIRECTIONS for the Buon Vino Mini Jet
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

¨¨Prior to filtering, wine should have been racked 1 – 2 times into a new container.

1. Remove the pads from the package and place them in a clean container with enough fresh water to cover the pads and allow them to soak (approx. 5 minutes).  Make sure pads are not bunched together while soaking allowing water to saturate both side of the 3 pads.

2. Attach the small diameter piece of hose supplied to the fitting located under the drip tray (“A” on diagram).  This same hose is used for racking with and cleaning your pump.

3. Loosen the two black-hand wheels and remove the two central plates.

4. Remove the pads form the water and insert one pad into the filter body. The coarse side will be facing the hand wheels and the holes will be aligned. See diagram.  Make sure to press down on the pad so that both sides of the T are sitting on the two side bolts and the pad is straight along the top.

5. Next place one of the central filtering plates, insert the second pad and the next plate in the same manner, followed by the last pad.  Once the pads and the plates are inserted all the pads and plates should be even along the top.

NOTE: The pads are cut in a “T” formation with one side of the “T” higher than the other.  The hooks on both sides of the filter plates also have the same offset.  This allows you to insert the pads and plates properly.

6. Tighten the hand wheels to ensure a tight seal on the pads.

7. Insert the intake hose, which contains a stainless steel wire and a red sediment tip to the inlet on the pump (B on the diagram).

8. Attach the long slightly larger diameter out-take tube to the outlet port (C) and the small tube attached to (A) the drip tray.

9. Place the intake tube into the wine to be filtered.  Next place your out-take tube a small container to catch the first bottle of wine that has been watered down from the water in the pads.  Then into your wine container for filtered wine.  Place the tube attached to the drip tray into a separate container until the water from the pads is out and then into a separate one to re-filter this wine at the end or into the filtered wine jug. (Depending on the wine, we generally forfeit or drink 750 ml of watered wine.)

10. If your pump is initially dry, prime by forcing some wine using the intake tube into the pump.
11.  Plug in the cord and turn on the switch located at the rear of the unit.

 12.  Upon completion of filtration, CLEAN the Mini Jet Pump.  

Do not allow the pump to run dry.  

NOTE:  Once you have started filtering DO NOT filter more than 10 gallons or 50 liters of wine at a time.  If you have additional wine to be filtered you MUST allow the motor to cool for 45 minutes to an hour before further filtering.
