IMPORTANT
Read electrical ratings written on the data pla te of the
individual units; the data plate is adhered on the dispensing
side panel of the unit, just behind the drip tray (the right side
drip tray in multiple bowl models). The serial number of the
unit (preceded by the symbol #) is adhered inside the left
switch box. Data plate specifications will always sup ersede
the information in this manual.
file a claim.
3 - Install the unit on a counter top that will support the combi-
ned weight of dispenser and product bearing in mind
what is stated in the preceding point 1 IMPORTANT
warning.
4 - A minimum of 15 cm (6”) of free air space all around the
unit should be allowed to guarantee adequate ventilation.
5 - The standard legs originally installed must be replaced by
the rubber base available in the unit package. To install the
rubber base unscrew the standard legs and fix the rubber
base using the four screws included in the package.
6 - Bef ore plugging the unit in, check if the voltage is the same
as that indicated on the data plate. Plug the unit into a
grounded, protected single phase electrical supply according to the applicable electrical codes and the specifications of your machine. When the unit has no plug, install a
proper grounded plug, in compliance with electrical codes
in force in your area, suitable to at least 10 Amp 250 Volt
(220-230 Volts 50-60 Hz areas) and 20 Amp 250 Volt
(100-115 Volts 50-60 Hz areas) applications. Should you
prefer to connect the unit directly to the mains, connect the
supply cord to a 2-pole wall breaker, whose contact ope-
ning is at least 0.125”. Do not use extension cords.
ATTENTION
Failure to provide proper electrical ground ac cording to
applicable electrical codes could result in serious
shock hazard.
7 - The unit doesn’t come presanitized from the factory.
Before serving products, the dispenser must be disassembled, cleaned and sanitized according to this handbook
instructions (chapter 5.3 CLEANING AND SANITAZING
PROCEDURES).
The electric diagram of the dispenser is located in the inner part
of the dispensing side panel.
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
2 INTRODUCTION
Please read all sections of this manual thoroughly to familiarize
yourself with all aspects of the unit.
Like all mechanical products, this machine will require cleaning
and maintenance. Besides, dispenser working can be
compromised by operator’s mistakes during disassembly an d
cleaning. It is strongly recommended that personnel
responsible for the equipment’s daily operations, disassembly,
cleaning, sanitizing and assembly, go through thes e
procedures in order to be properly trained and to make sure
that no misunderstandings exist.
3 INSTALLATION
1 - Remove the corrugate container and packing materials
and keep them for possible future use.
IMPORTANT
When handling the machine never grasp it by the bowls
or by the evaporator cylinders. The manufacturer
refuses all responsibilities for possible damages which
may occur through incorrect handling.
2 - Inspect the uncrated unit for any possible damage. If
damage is found, call the delivering carrier immediately to
4 TO OPERATE SAFELY
1 - Do not operate the d ispenser without reading this opera-
tor’s manual.
2 - Do not operate the dispenser unless it is prope rly groun-
ded.
3 - Do not use extension cords to connect the dispenser.
4 - Do not operate the dispenser unless all panels are restrai-
ned with screws.
5 - Do not obstruct air intake and discharge openings: 15 cm
(6”) minimum air space all around the dispenser.
6 - Do not put objects or fingers in pane ls louvers and faucet
outlet.
7 - Do not remove bowls, augers and panels for clea ning or
routine maintenance unless the dispenser is disconnected
from its power source.
5 OPERATING PROCEDURES
1 - Clean and sanitize the unit accordi ng to the instruction s in
this manual. See chapter 5.3 CLEANING AND SANITI-
ZING PROCEDURES.
2 - Fill the bowls with product to the maximum level mark. Do
not overfill.
The exact quantity of product (expressed as liters and ga l-
lons) is shown by marks on the bowl.
3 - In case of products to be diluted with water, pour water into
bowl first, then add correct quantity of product. In case of
natural squashes, it is advisable to strain them, in order to
prevent pulps from obstructing the faucet outlet.
4 - To obtain the best performance and result, use bases
designed to be run in Granita freezers. Such bases have a
sugar content of 34 degrees Baumé corresponding to 64
degrees Brix (equivalent to a specific grav ity of about 2.8
lb./0.25 gal).
For Granita the bases are to be diluted with water on a 1
plus 4/4.5 basis.
4
MV 2 UL AF
For soft drinks the bases are to be diluted with more water,
on a 1 plus 5/5.5 basis.
In any case follow the syrup manufacturer’s instructions for
both Granita and soft drink recipes.
If natural juices (e.g. lemon, orange) as well as sugarless
products (e.g. coffee) are us ed, dissolve 5.3 - 7 oz. of
sugar per 0.25 gallons.
IMPORTANT
However Granita mix may be done, its Brix (sugar
percent content) must be at least 13.
5 - Install the covers and check that they are correctly placed
over the bowls. There must be a correct electrical connection between the bowl and the cover.
6 - Set the control switches as shown in chapter
5.1 DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS.
7 - Always leave the dispenser on, as the refrigeration stops
automatically when Granita reaches the proper thickness.
The mixers will continue to turn.
5. 1 DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS
follows:
figure 2
Power switch (A)
0 position : power is turned OFF to all functions.
I position : power is turned ON to all functions and the
other switches are enabled. The fan motor
runs.
Light switch (E)
0 position : all top cover lights are OFF.
I position : all top cover lights are ON, provided that
power switch (A) is set to I.
The dispenser is equipped with a p ower switch and a light
switch. In addition each bowl is individually operated by a
mixer/refrigeration switch. In fact it is possible to dispense both
soft drinks and Granita.
When a bowl is in Soft Drink mode the beverage temperature
is controlled by the corresponding thermostat.
When a bowl is in Granita mode the mix viscos ity is co ntrolle d
by the corresponding adjustment screw located in the rear wall
of each container (for temperature and viscosity setting make
reference to chapter 5.2 OPERATION HELPFUL HINTS).
All the switches are located on the faucet side of the dispenser
in switch panels protected by switch covers (see figure 1).
figure 1
In addition the dispenser is equipped with automatic safety
pressure switches to prevent damages to the compressors.
The lighting of the warning light at the left of the switch covers
means insufficient ventilation of the unit. In this case check that
all around the dispenser there is sufficient space for ventilation,
at least 15 cm (6”) on each side and that condenser filter is free
from dust or other obstructions.
In case the warning light is still ON even after these operations
have been carried out, Service call is required.
With reference to figure 3 dispenser controls functions are as
Mixer/refrigeration switch (B)
I position : mixer and refrigeration ON.
SOFT DRINK mode.
0 position : OFF.
II position : mixer and refrigeration ON.
GRANITA mode.
Thermostat (D)
Turn clockwise : to decrease temperature
Turn counterclockwise : to increase temperature
To operate the unit:
1 - Set the power switch to I position.
2 - Set the mixer/refrigeration switches as follows:
- to the I position to get soft drink.
- to the II position to get Granita.
3 - Set the light switch to I position.
5. 2 OPERATION HELPFUL HINTS
1 - Granita viscosity adjustment : proper Granita viscosity is
factory preset. To change the viscosity, if needed, use a
standard screwdriver to turn the adjustment screw located
in the rear wall of each container as follows (see figure 3):
- toward right (clockwise) to obtain a thicker product (the
indicator F will go down in opening G).
- toward left (counterclockwise) to obtain a thinner product
