Power Switch

When placed in the ON position, the power switch allows control panel operation.

Fluorescent Display

The fluorescent display is located on the front control panel. During normal operation the display is blank. The display is used to show menu options and notifies the operator if a fault is detected. On International models, the display will indicate the temperature of the mix in the hopper.

Indicator Lights

MIX LOW - When the MIX LOW symbol is illuminated, the mix hopper has a low supply of mix and should be refilled as soon as possible.

MIX OUT - When the MIX OUT symbol is illuminated, the mix hopper has been almost completely exhausted and has an insufficient supply of mix to operate the freezer. At this time, the AUTO mode is locked out and the freezer will be placed in the STANDBY mode. To initiate the refrigeration system, add mix to the mix hopper and touch the

AUTO symbol . The freezer will automatically begin operation.

HEAT MODE - When the HEAT MODE symbol is illuminated, the freezer is in the process of a heat cycle.

BRUSH CLEAN COUNTER - When the BRUSH CLEAN COUNTER display has counted down to “1”, the machine must be disassembled and brush cleaned within 24 hours.

Standby Symbol

The Standby feature maintains product temperatures in both the hopper and the freezing cylinder below 40°F (4.4°C). This feature is useful during long “No Sale” periods to prevent overbeating and product breakdown.

To activate STANDBY, enter the Manager Menu access code (see pageNO TAG.) Remove the air orifice and turn the inner feed tube so the pin rests on top of the outer feed tube. When STANDBY is

selected, the STANDBY symbol illuminates, indicating the Standby feature has been activated. In the STANDBY mode, the WASH and AUTO functions are automatically cancelled.

C717, C709 specifications

Taylor C709 and C717 are two outstanding models from the renowned Taylor Guitars, each designed to cater to the discerning tastes of musicians looking for exceptional playability, sound quality, and craftsmanship.

The Taylor C709 is known for its remarkable tonal balance and projection. Constructed with a solid Sitka spruce top, it delivers a bright, clear sound that enhances the overall musicality of the instrument. The back and sides of the C709 are crafted from layered sapele, which not only adds to the visual appeal but also contributes to a warm, resonant voice. This model features a Grand Symphony body shape, known for producing a rich, full sound, making it an excellent choice for strumming and fingerpicking alike.

On the other hand, the Taylor C717 takes things a notch further with its unique design and features. It also boasts a solid Sitka spruce top, but pairs it with solid sapele back and sides, offering a more vibrant and dynamic tonal range. The Grand Pacific body shape of the C717 is specifically engineered for a vintage-inspired sound, making it perfect for players seeking warmth and depth. This model is designed to provide a pleasing balance between bass, midrange, and treble frequencies, ensuring a versatile performance suited for various styles.

Both models are equipped with the Taylor Expression System 2, a technologically advanced pickup system designed to capture the natural acoustics of the guitar. This feature makes it easier for musicians to amplify their sound without compromising the instrument's organic tone.

In terms of playability, both the C709 and C717 are built with a smooth mahogany neck and an ebony fingerboard, which provides a comfortable playing surface for intricate fingerwork and chords. The action is set to make playing effortless, whether you're a beginner or an experienced musician.

Aesthetically, Taylor has ensured that these guitars are as visually striking as they are sonically impressive. The glossy finish, elegant inlays, and overall craftsmanship make them showpieces worthy of attention on stage or in a personal collection.

In conclusion, the Taylor C709 and C717 models represent the perfect blend of innovation, tradition, and artistry, making them coveted instruments for players at all levels. With their superior tone, excellent playability, and stunning design, these guitars continue to uphold Taylor’s legacy of quality and excellence in the world of acoustic instruments.
