IMPORTANT

Read electrical ratings written on the data plate 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 supersede the information in this manual.

and keep them for possible future use.

371

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 from incorrect handling.

2 - Inspect the uncrated unit for any possible damage. If

damage is found, call the deliverin g carrier imme diately to file a claim.

3 - Install the unit on a counter top that will support the

combined 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 - Ensure that the legs are screwed tightly into the base of

the machine. Replace the standard legs originally installed with the 100 mm (4”) legs whenever they are provided with the unit.

6 - Before 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 opening is at least 3 mm (0.12”).

Do not use extension cords.

IMPORTANT

ATTENTION

The electric diagram of the dispenser is located in side 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. Dispenser operation can be compromised by operator’s mistakes during disassembly and cleaning. It is strongly recommended that personnel responsible for the equipment’s daily operations, disassembly, cleaning, sanitizing and assembly, go through these procedures in order to be properly trained and to make sure that no misunderstandings exist.

3 INSTALLATION

1 - Remove the corrugated container and packing materials

Failure to provide proper electrical ground accordin g to applicable electrical codes could result in serious shock hazard.

7 - Each drip tray has two diaphragm plugs: if a con tinuous

drain is needed, perforate one of the drain plugs and connect it to a flexible drain line (see figure 1).

figure 1

8 - The unit doesn’t come presanitized from the factory.

Before serving products, the dispenser must be disassembled, cleaned and sanitized. a ccording to this handbook instructions (chapter

5.3 CLEANING AND SANITIZING PROCEDURES).

4 TO OPERATE SAFELY

1 - Do not operate the dispenser without reading this

operator’s manual.

2 - Do not operate the dispenser unless it is properly

grounded. 3 - Do not use extension cords to connect the dispenser. 4 - Do not operate the dispenser unless all panels are

restrained with screws. 5 - Do not obstruct air intake and discharge openings: 15 cm

(6”) minimum air space around all sides of the dispenser. 6 - Do not put objects or fingers in panels louvers and faucet

outlet. 7 - Do not remove bowls, augers and panels for cleaning or

routine maintenance unless the dispenser is disconnected

from its power source.

5 OPERATING PROCEDURES

1 - Clean and sanitize the unit according to the instructions in

this manual. See chapter 5.3 CLEANING AND

SANITIZING PROCEDURES. 2 - Fill the bowls with product to the maximum level mark. Do

not overfill.

The exact quantity of product (expressed as liters and

gallons) 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. It is

advisable to strain the natural fruits 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.

If natural juices (e.g. lemon, orange) as well as sugarless

products (e.g. coffee) are used, dissolve 150 - 200 grams

of sugar per liter.

All the switches are located on the faucet side of the dispenser behind switch covers (see figure 2).

figure 2

In addition all the models except 369 are equipped with an automatic safety pressure switch to prevent damages to the compressor. The lighting of the light at the left of the switch covers indicates insufficient ventilation of the unit. If this occurs check that there is sufficient space on all sides 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 after these operations have been carried out a service call is required. Dispenser controls functions are as follows (see figure 3):

ENGLISH

IMPORTANT

Brix (sugar percent content) must be at least 13 for all granita products.

5 - For soft drink use the unit doesn’t need any minimun brix

level.

IMPORTANT

Operate the dispenser with food products only.

6 - In stall the covers and check that they are correctly placed

over the bowls. The dispenser must always run with the

covers installed to prevent possible contamination of the

product. 7 - Set the control switches as shown in chapter

5.1 DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS.

8 - Always leave the dispenser on, as the refrigerati on stops

automatically when Granita reaches the proper thickness.

The mixers will continue to turn.

5. 1 DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS

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 viscosity is controlled by the corresponding adjustment screw located in the rear wall of each container (for temperature and viscosity setting refer to chapter 5.2 OPERATION HELPFUL HINTS).
