Press * to exit to previous menu SPACE TO SALES (StS) Space to Sales (or StS) is a feature that rotates products so that First In First Out (FIFO) is assured and a popular item isn’t sold out. This feature is only recommended for your beverage area, as the live display in the snack section would make product rotation confusing for your customer.
Page 33
Should you want to link your own specific selections, go directly to Custom Space to Sales without setting the entire machine to one of the choices (By2’s, Whole Row…etc), or go into the StS menu and set it to OFF or Custom. If you have a popular brand of water that keeps selling out before you can restock, it may be useful to set Custom StS for two selections to work in tandem, make more sales by having fresh product readily available in a larger capacity.

Unplug the wire harnesses on the right side of the deck and feed the connectors back through the grommet (Fig. 25). This will prevent damage to the connectors when the deck is removed. Figure 24 – Refrigeration deck Wire Harnesses Rotate both handles outward and pull them toward you to remove them.
Page 63
REFRIGERATION Refrigeration is the transfer of heat from one area to another. In the case of this machine, we are transferring the heat from the area containing the beverage selections to the outside of the machine and dissipating the heat throughout the room. The more heat we can transfer away from the beverages the colder they become. This process is accomplished using a sealed compressing system using an ozone friendly gas commonly known as R290 refrigerant.
