Mix Low Function (cont.)

buzzer is out of the circuit and the light will illuminate fully again. After the 10-minute cycle the mix out safety func- tion 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 14) and start up procedures (page 5).

Product Tips

The Model 5311 & 5511 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 reliability, it is recommended that product thickness not be set too thick.

Two types of white plastic dispensing valve plungers are available. One style, part W048.0462, is used to serve these thin to medium products such as cappuccino and cocktails and has one horizontal outlet slot. The other plunger, part W048.0463, 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, have a tendency to separate, or stratify. Separation of product in the mix storage hopper can result in frozen product quality inconsistency. Simply keeping the product stirred on a regular basis will eliminate this problem.

Some of cappuccino or latte' mixes contain dairy products which can spoil if not refrigerated. If the freezer is to be turned off at night these products must be removed from the freezer. Contact your local health department regarding its regulations for proper mix handling and storage.

Product Consistency Adjustment (see Figure I)

Location of electronic control board

1)Remove the front electrical box cover by removing the two screws. (See figure C).

2)If the product in the cylinder has been frozen for more than 30 minutes, draw out 16 ounces (1/2 liter) before

checking consistency.

3)Turn the consistency control knob, located at the top center of the circuit board, clockwise to achieve a colder setting or thicker product or counter-clockwise to achieve a less cold setting or less

thick product. (See Figure I, page 10).

! CAUTION: This control setting is very sensitive so always make	Figure C
small adjustments. If you visualize this control as a clock face,
with the adjuster set all the way counter-clockwise it would be 5:00.
A recommended setting is 7:00. This would be the warmest
setting the machine has. A one-hour change will make a noticeable
difference in product consistency.
