of dispensing the food product contained within
the dispenser, provided the owner and operator
maintain the food product at a safe temperature

or the general public. This unit is not sold for
consumer use in and around the home.

-IMPORTANT-

Read this manual completely before attempting

INSTALLATION

This peristaltic dispenser is equipped for the
voltage and wattage indicated on the nameplate
mounted on the back of the unit, and is designed
for use on alternating current (AC) only.

5. Place the end of the tube in the slot of the bottom
bracket.

6. Slide the pump block towards the pump head.

7. Hook the tension spring onto the catch.

8. Route the tube through the hole in the tube cover
leaving 1/2" of the tube below the cover.

9. Dispense a small amount of product to insure
the tube is seated correctly, and the product is

fl owing.

WARNING

DO NOT CONNECT TO DIRECT
CURRENT (DC).

GENERAL OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS

This heated dispenser is designed to be
used with a 9” x 18” (22.8 x 45.7cm) poly
bag with a 1 inch (2.5cm) outlet fitment.
The peristaltic dispenser is designed to be
used with 1/4 inch ID (.6cm) to 1/2 inch id.
(1.3cm) tubing with 1/16 inch (.16cm) wall
thickness.

The dispenser is designed with an adjustable
thermostat. It is designed to maintain a product
temperature in the range of 145°F to 162°F (60°C
to 72°C).

Loading Product:

1. Turn the dispenser OFF.

2. Unhook the tension spring from the catch.

3. Slide the pump block away from the pump
head.
4 Insert the new bag into tray making sure the

fi tment rests on the block track and route the
tube around the rollers.

(Note: Make sure the tube is not twisted)

PORTION CONTROL

This dispenser may be supplied with a portion
control timer. This portion control is based on a
time setting. Variations in product temperature
and consistency will affect the dispensed amount.
To insure a consistent portion, use product that
is at the correct temperature, 145°F to 160° (62°C

to 71°C).

To set portion:

1. Load preheated product bag into dispenser.

2. Dispense product until there is a steady fl ow.

3. Dispense the product into a clean container,
and measure the product to verify the dispensed
amount.

4. Using a small screwdriver, turn the control dial
located on the back panel clockwise for more
product and counterclockwise for less product.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the desired amount
is reached.

Operation Notes:

The dispenser is a holding cabinet not a warmer. It
is intended to hold the food product at no less than
140°F (60°C) and no more than 165°F (73°C) after
the food product has been pre-heated to a minimun
of 140°F (60°C).

The product should be preheated according to the
manufacturer's instructions. The product should be
a minimum of 140°F (60°C) before dispensing.

NOTE: To increase the evacuation, open the
dispenser and pull the product towards the
bottom of the bag and the outlet fi tment once
or twice during operation.

If the pump drips, or does not dispense product,
check to make sure the tube is routed correctly, the

spring is latched onto the catch.

If the product is not preheated, you can expect it
take 3 hours for the product to reach 140°F (60°C)
if it starts out at room tempurature. 5 Hours if it is
refrigerated, and much longer if frozen.

The digital temperature readout displays the cabinet
air temperature and will fl uctuate during normal
operation. The product temperature should be close
to the temperature setpoint, but the actual product
temperature should be checked periodically to ensure
proper operation.

CHECKING PRODUCT TEMPERATURE

If the product has not been pre-heated, it will take
at 3-5 hours before it will reach 140° (60°C).

1. Dispense at least 3 inches of product into an
insulated cup.

2. Without hesitation, insert the thermometer to the
bottom of the cup and stir the product gently with
the stem of the thermometer.

3. Position the tip of the thermometer in the center
of the product mass.

4. The temperature should read between 140°F
(60°C) and 165°F (73°C).

CHANGING FACTORY TEMP PRESET

The dispenser is preset at the factory for a
temperature of 150°F (65°C). If a different
temperature is required, the setpoint can be changed
in a range from 145°F to 162°F (60°C to 72°C).
To change the temperature:

1. Press SET. "SP" will appear in the display.

2. Press SET again. The temperature setpoint will
now be displayed.

3. Using the UP or DOWN buttons, set the
temperature to the desired value.

4. Press SET again to save the setting.

5. Press the SET and DOWN buttons together to
exit the programming mode.

NOTE: The tube cover must be in place for
proper operation.
