assembly base.
Programming Procedures
The programming procedure is used to tune the
operation of the unit so as to produce the highest
quality and consistency of drinks. This procedure is
used to set the ratios of ice, drink mix, blending
duration and size of drink. Due to the wide variety of ice
drink mixes and drink sizes, only the method of
programming will be provided and not the settings.
Contact the supplier of the mixes for recommended
ratios. Once the unit is programmed, the parameters
are stored in EPROM program memory. This memory
will retain the parameters even during power OFF.
To Enter the Presentation Mode:
Step 1
Press the drink mix A [ -- -- -- ] key (first from left) and the
drink mix A [+++] key (far right) at the same time for
approximately five seconds until a higher pitch tone is
heard. Release the keys immediately at the tone.

To Adjust the Amount of Time the Valves
are Open to Dispense Syrup into the
Blender:
Step 2
Press the A [ -- -- -- ] key to decrease the setting by 1.
Note: The amount of time to dispense syrup into the
blender should match the time the valve is closed
when drawing more than one drink.
The amount of syrup dispensed is determined by the
amount of time the syrup valve is open and the number
of volume controls in the valve assembly. A higher
setting will dispense more syrup. (See also “To
Change the Number of Volume Controls” page 7.)
Step 1
Press the first drink mix A [ -- -- -- ] flavor key (far left
key). A number appears, showing the current setting
in increments (1--9). The higher the number, the longer
the valve is open for mix to be dispensed.

of the same size as standard ice, and programming
has failed to produce the desired drink consistency,
then an adjustment may be necessary.
Note: Do not use block ice.
Blade Height Adjustment
Ice Shaver Adjustment
There are two methods for adjusting the ice shaver.
Programming Adjustment Method
The first method is the programming operation which
adjusts the amount of time the ice shaver motor will
operate per drink.
The quantity of ice shaved for a drink can be
determined by the programming procedure. The set
up is dependent on the drink mix being used and the
ratio of mix to ice.
Mechanical Adjustment Method
CAUTION! Turn the power off and unplug
the unit before adjusting blade height. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in severe
personal injury from hazardous moving parts.
The second method is a mechanical adjustment to the
ice shaver blade.
The mechanical adjustment to the ice shaver is
provided to adjust the size of the ice chips. Adjusting
this setting may require performing the programming
procedure after the mechanical adjustment has been
made.
CAUTION! Turn the power off and unplug
the unit before adjusting blade height. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in severe
personal injury from hazardous moving parts.
The factory preset height of the blade above the frozen
beverage unit chute is 0.1 inch. An adjustment nut is
located on the right side of the ice chute and is
accessed underneath from the blender well. The only
tool required is a small adjustable wrench or an 11/32”
wrench.
If the height of the blade is unknown or uncertain,
follow the unit disassembly procedures to access the
frozen beverage unit blade. Restore the factory
setting. Reassemble according to the unit assembly
procedures. Make adjustments to the shaver to obtain
a granular ice texture. Perform programming
procedures to obtain optimum drink consistency.
To Change the Number of Volume
Controls:
To increase the amount of syrup for each drink, the
appropriate number of volume controls can be
removed. The correct amount of syrup dispensed is
determined by the syrup to ice ratio for the type of
syrup used after blending (see diagram on page 15).
Step 1
Remove the valve base from the drink tube assembly
by turning the base counter--clockwise.
Step 2
Remove the valve assembly from the base.
DO NOT rotate the frozen beverage unit
blade adjustment screw more than 1/2 turn in
either direction. Turning this in excess could
cause the ice rotor to strike the shaver blade.
Initially the frozen beverage unit is preset at the factory
for a standard 1--3/8” x 1--3/8” x 5/8” ice cube. The
mechanical adjustment should produce a granular
textured ice. If the ice is too fine, the blender will not be
able to achieve the desired consistency. If the ice is not

Step 3
Remove the top or bottom valve plug from the
assembly.
Step 4
Add or remove the number of volume controls to get
the required amount of syrup per drink.
Step 5
