5  OPERATING PROCEDURES

To remove the lid of the container, press the top key and slide

the lid towards the front of the container. If there is a safety lock

for the lid, turn the key in an anti-clockwise direction to release
the open key (see figure 2).

1

Wash and sanitise the dispenser before using it, following

the instructions in Chapter 5.3 WASHING.

2

Fill the container with the desired product, bearing in mind

that, during processing, the volume will increase. For this

reason, the containers must not be filled to maximum capacity.

To prepare granita, consider an increase in volume of around

10%. To prepare ice creams, consider an increase in volume of

around 30%.

3

If using liquid or powder bases, specially prepared for ice

creams or granita, follow the manufacturer's instructions

carefully.

4

If using natural products to prepare granita (for example

lemon juice, orange juice or coffee), dissolve 150-200 grams of

sugar in each litre of product.

5

If using freeze-dried bases to be diluted with milk or water,

prepare the product in a separate container and only pour it into

the mach ine con tain ers after making sure that i t is
homogeneous and that the powder is well dissolved.

6

Using the controls (see Chapter 5.1 DESCRIPTION OF

CONTROLS).

7

The dispenser must operate without interruption: the

cooling system for each container will automatically stop when

the product is ready to be dispensed, maintaining the set

density. The mixing devices will still continue to operate. 

5. 1  DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS

The dispenser is equipped with an ON/OFF switch, a keypad

and a product temperature display. It is possible to select the

dispenser operating mode using the keypad. The following

operating modes are available:

ICE CREAM OR GRANITA PRODUCTION: in this mode, the

dispenser prepares ice cream or GRANITA depending on the

product in the container.

PRODUCT STORAGE: in this mode, the dispenser keeps the

liquid product at a temperature suitable for storage. This is

useful at night to maintain the quality of the product and limit the

consumption of electricity.

WASHING: in this mode, the mixer rotates at a high speed and

cooling is not enabled. This function is useful while washing and

sanitising the machine to prevent the sanitising solution from

being cooled.

ON/OFF SWITCH

The ON/OFF switch is located under the dispenser itself, on the
left-hand side. Its function is as follows:

CONTROL KEYPAD

figure 1

The functions of the keys on the keypad are as follows:

FOR DISPENSER OPERATION

Set the ON/OFF switch to I. The red LED F will be on.

Hold down key A until the dispenser starts up.
Use keys B or C to select the desired dispenser operating mode:

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS

ADJUSTING THE DENSITY

During operation in ICE CREAM OR GRANITA PREPARATION

mode, by pressing keys D and E, it is possible to adjust the

density of the product (minimum value 1, maximum value 10).

ATTENTION

If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the

manufacturer, by the manufacturer’s technical support

service or by a similarly qualified person in order to pre-

vent any risk.

IMPORTANT

When the lid is not installed, neither the mixer nor the

cooling feature work, and the display shows the message

“COV”.

IMPORTANT

In any case, once the mixture is obtained, its degrees

Brix (sugar content percentage) must be greater than 13.

Never use the machine with water only.

IMPORTANT

Use the dispenser with food products only.

Position 0

: the dispenser is off.

Position I

: the dispenser is enabled for operation but

is in standby mode. Only the F LED is on.

Key A

If pressed for 2 seconds, this allows the user to
switch from standby mode to operating mode and
vice versa. In operating mode, the mixer rotates
and cooling is enabled. 
If pressed briefly while the machine is running, it
allows users to turn the dispenser lights, if any, on
and off.

Key B

If pressed, this activates the ICE CREAM OR
GRANITA PRODUCTION function. This operating
mode is confirmed when LED H lights up, either
flashing or continuously.

Key C

If pressed, this activates the STORAGE function.
This operating mode is confirmed when LED G
lights up, either flashing or continuously.

Key D

If pressed in ICE CREAM OR GRANITA PRO-
DUCTION mode, this increases the density of the
product.

Key E

If pressed in ICE CREAM OR GRANITA PRO-
DUCTION mode, this decreases the density of the
product.

Key B

If you want to prepare ICE CREAM OR GRANITA

Key C

If if you just want to store the product.
