Disconnect the equipment
from the electrical source
during maintenance,
cleaning, and in case of faulty
operation by unplugging the
plug from the outlet (pull the
plug, not the cable)
(figs. and ).

Repairs must be carried out
exclusively by authorized and
specialized personnel. Faulty
repairs can be extremely
dangerous for the user.
Contact the Company for the
nearest Authorized Assistance
Center.

with care for your own
purposes and for future
owners of the machine, as
well.
The Manufacturer declines
all responsibility for
damages incurred due to
disregard of the following
instructions:

Carry out installation
according to the
instructions for assembly.
The electric circuit must
correspond to the rating
plate data placed on the
front part of the machine,
under the drip tray. (fig. ).

General
instructions
and
warnings

The First Class furnishings
have been studied down to
the last details, hence the
luminous display on the
front and back of the
cupola, designed for your
convenience (fig. ).

Before setting the machine
at work, carefully read the
instructions in this service
manual; having done this
you will be capable of
installing, using, and
carrying out maintenance
on the machine properly.

Once you have removed the
packaging, check for any
missing pieces.
No packaging materials
(plastic bags, polystyrene
foam, nails, etc.) should be
left at a child’s reach
because they can be
dangerous.

Remove the protective
plastic bands, including
those inside the grilled
walls.

We do not recommend
using adapters, multiple
outlets or extension cords
for connection to the

electric system.
If they are necessary, only
use material that complies
with the safety standards in
force and only for current
intensity up to the amount
indicated in the rating plate
data (fig. ).

This model for making
grated ice-drinks, sherbets
and cold drinks guarantees a
completely homogenous
product with the ability to
adjust the product’s
density by using the
innovative electronic
controls.
Before installing the
machine check that:

• the machine has not been
damaged during
transportation. If you have
any doubts, contact your
supplier.

• The electric system is
grounded, according to laws
in force.

• The electric capacity of the
system is adequate to the
maximum power of the
machine (as indicated in the
rating plate data fig. )

If in doubt, contact
specialized personnel only.

To install the machine,
carefully read the following
instructions:

Installing the

Place the machine so that no
heat sources are near the
grilled walls. Make sure that
there is a free space of at least
15 cm (12 inch.) all around
the machine

(fig. ).

Warning: If the machine is
not properly installed or the
condenser has not been
periodically cleaned, the
internal and condenser
temperatures may exceed
the maximum temperatures
allowed.
First Class is equipped with
a pressure switch with
indicator which switches off
the refrigerator in these
circumstances. Should this
occur call the technical
service to deal with the
cause and restore operation.

Once you have connected the
machine to the electric
system and have switched on
the general switch, check
that air is comes out from
the side grills (fig. ).

Proper use

Before setting the
machine at work you should
clean it as shown in the
“cleaning and maintenance”
paragraph.

Pay attention this system

and the “lock out key­board” ).
Once replaced the defecti­ve contact, or installed
the lost contact, elimina­ting the electronic bypass
realized previously, must
be used the following pro­cedure:

- up the lid;

- Stop the augers pressing
the key ;

- holding pressed the «» ,
to press the key to
have the augers left
again;

- Wait until the augers are
stopped and release the
keys;

- Put on the lid on the
tank;

the augers leaves again,
and the electronic bypass
has been eliminated.

Self-diagnostics

If the value 0, 1 or 2 flashes
on the display call the
service centre.

Memory configuration

All the operations and
adjustments set are
memorized in a non volatile
memory, that is, a memory
that is active even without
electricity; therefore, when you
switch on the machine, the tub
starts working with the
configuration which it had the
last time it was switched off.

Minimum level signal

Machines with a minimum
level probe have a local alarm
that is activated when the
product goes below this value;
the alarm causes the top light
to flash at
maximum intensity and a
signal available on the board

connector is activated; this can
be used to control a remote
alarm and/or a refilling
system. If the minimum level
continues, the light stops
flashing after 1 minute.

Lamp short circuit control

An accidental short circuit of
the lamp activates a
protective device with a quick
operating time that blocks
operation of the tub(s)
without causing the fuses to
open; this problem is
indicated by the flashing
display (value 8). All tubs
must be re-activated as
follows:

• press the key until the
display turns off (on model
with multiple tubs).

• When you let go of the
key, the machine begins
normal operation.

• Important: carry out the
procedure on all tanks.

• Call Assistance Office

• Note: the value 8 may also
flash if there are sudden
voltage spikes in the
building. Reactivate
according to the procedure
described previously.

Top Light
Switching On/Off
Adjusting the intensity

The top light can be
switched
on and off by using the
key; by keeping the key
pressed down and
simultaneously using the
or ‚ keys you can increase
or decrease the intensity of
the light, respectively; by
pressing the key, the
display shows the light’s
condition and it turns off if
you have turned off the light
with the key; if the light is
still on, it displays a number
indicating the level of the
lamp’s intensity (2 min. - 9
max.)

Operator safety

If you open the tub by lifting
the top light, the augers stop
turning.

Blocking the keyboard for
the auger and the cooling
unit

It is possible to block the
electronic board and all its
keys; you can connect or
disconnect the block if you
lift the top light and
simultaneously use the
and keys;
the decimal point of the
display lights up to signal
block status.

Bypass motor brake

As you know, for safety
demands, when the lid is
lifted, the corresponding
augers to that tank are
halted accordingly.
Sometimes it happens
that augers halted becau­se deformed stainless
steel contacts or because
lost them. In this case you
