3.5 Product Lines and Connections: The inlets for the product lines are located on the
back of the unit behind the lower panel. This is the only panel that you may
remove without voiding the warranty. Once the panel is removed you will see the
eight downward pointing inlets. There are labels next to each that number the
inlets and these numbers correspond to the pump number in programming. These
fittings are 3/8" outer diameter and are barbed to help retain the hose. We
recommend that you use a hose clamp to retain the hose on the inlet fitting.
Section 4: Basic Operations_______________________________________
4.1 Loading Ice: Remove the black ice hopper lid from atop the unit (removing the
lid will disable the functions of the unit). Carefully pour up to 6 gallons of ice
into the ice hopper. Ensure that the ice covers both augers for the most consistent
ice dispense. Place the lid back on the top of the unit to re-enable the unit to
function. If you are filling an empty ice hopper you should prime the system by
putting a blender jar in the blend station and press the ICE button on the control
panel (see 4.4).
4.2 Dispense Product Only: You can dispense only product by pressing the number
of the pump (1-8) and then pressing and holding the JUICE button. The unit will
dispense the product selected until you release the JUICE button. The maximum
time that the JUICE button will dispense is 25 seconds. This feature allows you
to prime your product lines easily with little waste.
4.3 Making Drinks: Place an empty blender jar in the blend station with the blender
lid in place. After programming drinks into the microprocessor (see section 6.0),
you simply select the size (S, M or L) and press the drink number (1-64) of the
drink, and then press GO. The unit will automatically dispense product, ice,
water and then blend. All parameters for drink production can be manipulated to
suit your needs (see section 6.0).
4.4 Dispense Ice Only: This feature will allow you to dispense Ice only. Press and
hold the ICE button to dispense the desired amount of ice. The ice will dispense
as long as the ICE button is held down or to 25 seconds. Use this feature when
you are filling an empty ice hopper to prime the system.
4.5 Dispense Water Only: By pressing and holding the WATER button you can
dispense cold water only as desired. The maximum amount of time the feature
will run is 25 seconds.
4.6 Run Blender Motor Only: This feature can be used in two ways: as a ramp pulse
(gradually increasing speed) or to run a constant speed. To use as a ramp pulse,
press and hold the BLEND button until the drink is completed, the motor will stop
when the BLEND button is released. To run at a constant speed, select the speed
(1-9) and then press and hold the BLEND button. The unit will run until the
BLEND button is released or for 25 seconds.
