Product Tips, Standby Switch, Mix Low Function

Standby Switch

The "STANDBY" switch allows the operator to retain optimum product quality and conserve energy during extended non-draw periods. The Stand-by mode keeps the mix in the hopper at a safe storage temperature and allows the product in the freezing cylinder to return to a refrigerated liquid state. Switching back to "ON" quickly returns the

product in the freezing cylinders to proper serving consistency.

At the start of the “STANDBY” period:

1.Fill the hoppers with fresh mix.

2.Select the “STANDBY” mode...the front panel “STANDBY” lights will illuminate.

3.Turn the carburetor outer tubes to the OFF position (between any two holes). This will prevent any mix from flowing into the freezing cylinder and reducing overrun. NOTE: Loss of overrun is one of the main reasons for soft, wet looking frozen product.

At the end of the “STANDBY” period:

1.Turn the carburetor tubes back to their original setting.

2.Turn the switches to the “FREEZE” position. The FREEZE lights will illuminate.

3.When the freezer cycles off by reaching the desired temperature you are ready to start serving.

IMPORTANT: The STANDBY SWITCHES should not be used in lieu of cleaning and sanitizing procedures specified by local regulatory agencies.

Mix Low Function

This model will sense when the mix is low in the hopper. The mix low light will illuminate continuously for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes the light will begin to blink off and on for the next 8 minutes. The buzzer in the mix out circuit is 2 min- utes off and 5 seconds (or 5 beeps) on for a total of 10 minutes. At the end of the 10-minute time the buzzer is out of the circuit and the light will illuminate fully again. After the 10-minute cycle the mix out safety function is activated making the unit inoperable. The machine is placed into the standby mode to prevent any damage to the machine from running dry of product. The unit can be reset back to the freeze mode by simply adding mix into the hopper.

1.If the unit is low in mix or the unit shuts down due to extended mix low condition (“Mix Low” safety function has activated), refill hopper with fresh product. The unit will automatically revert back to its original operation mode.

2.If the mix low safety function has activated disabling the unit, and the product has not been added for an extended period of time - verify the product is okay for re-use. If it is not, use fresh product to restart the unit. Empty the unit of old product and follow sanitizing (page 12) and start up procedures (page 6).

Product Tips

The Model 5512 was designed to dispense a wide variety of frozen beverages including smoothies, frozen cappuccino, shakes, and frozen cocktails. These products can be served in consistencies ranging from thin to fairly thick. For optimum long term freezer reIiability, it is recommended that product thickness not be set too thick.

Two types of white plastic dispensing valve plungers are available. One style, P/N W0480462, is used to serve thin to medium products such as cappuccino and cocktails. This plunger has one horizontal outlet slot. The other plunger, P/N W0480463, is used to serve thicker product such as shakes and smoothies and has two horizontal outlet slots. These plungers are interchangeable.

Over an extended period of time some products, such as frozen cocktails that contain alcohol and lemonade, have a tendency to separate, or stratify. Separation of product in the mix storage hopper can result in frozen product quality inconsistencies.
