Performance notes
Infrared touchfree dispensing is meant to cut down on wear from repeated physical contact with a lever, and sealed, maintenance-free bearings plus a removable dust cover are aimed at reducing how often the unit needs service. A USB port allows software updates without a technician visit, and the system runs on standard R-134a refrigerant.
