5 OPERATING PROCEDURES
ATTENTION
In case of damages, the power cord must be replaced by
qualified personnel only in order to prevent any shock
hazard.
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, potable water,
pour water into bowl first, then add correct quantity of product.
In case of natural squashes, it is advisable to strain them, in
order 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. Such bases have a
sugar content of 34 degrees Baumé corresponding to 64
degrees Brix.
For soft drinks the bases are to be diluted with more water, on a
1 plus 5/5.5 basis.
In any case follow the syrup manufacturer's instructions for
both Granita and soft drink recipes.
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.
IMPORTANT
Operate the dispenser with food products only.
IMPORTANT
However Granita mix may be done, its Brix (sugar
percent content) must be at least 13.

5.1 DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS.
6 Always leave the dispenser on, as the refrigeration 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 power 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 make
reference to chapter 5.2 OPERATION HELPFUL HINTS).
All the switches are located on the faucet side of the dispenser
as
shown
in
chapter
5
in switch panels protected by switch covers (see figure 1).
With reference to figure 3 dispenser controls functions are as
follows:
Power switch (A)
0 position :
power is turned OFF to all functions.
I position
:
power is turned ON to all functions and the other
switches are enabled. The fan motor runs.
Mixer/refrigeration switch (B)
I position
:
mixer and refrigeration ON.
SOFT DRINK mode.
0 position :
OFF.
II position :
mixer and refrigeration ON.
GRANITA mode.
Thermostat (D)
Turn clockwise
: to decrease temperature
Turn counterclockwise : to increase temperature
To operate the unit:
1 Set the power switch to I position.
2 Set the mixer/refrigeration switches as follows:
- to the I position to get soft drink.
- to the II position to get Granita.
5. 2 OPERATION HELPFUL HINTS
1 Granita viscosity adjustment: proper Granita viscosity is
factory preset. To change the viscosity, if needed, use a
standard screwdriver to turn the adjustment screw located in
the rear wall of each container as follows (see figure 3):
- towards right (clockwise) to obtain a thicker product (the
indicator F will go down in opening G).
- towards left (counterclockwise) to obtain a thinner product
