Fig. 9

！CAUTION！

The FREEZE, CHILL and the AUTO buttons, could be switched on only if one of the three augers is rotating; obviously this will activate only the correspondent refrigerating.

Automatic mode

Pushing the AUTO button the unit will start working in the automatic mode with the set parameters; this mean that the unit will automatically switch from the freezing mode to the chilling one respecting day by day the set parameters.

During this phase the FREEZE and the CHILL buttons will be visible but not functioning.

!Important!

Defrost or wash modes are not to be used in lieu of proper cleaning or sanitization procedures at the frequency of federal, state or local regulatory agencies.

Setting mode

In order to activate the setting mode it is necessary to put the finger on the ON/OFF button for 6/7 seconds; an acoustic signal will advise the user about the setting procedure activation.

Now the display looks like the one below and this is the buttons description:

INCREASE: increases the set parameter.

DECREASE: decreases the set parameter.

ENTER: this button confirms the set parameter.

DAY+: this button allows to slide the day of the week in order to select the right one.

12H/24H: allows to select the preferred mode.

START/STOP: allows to switch from the freezing mode time begin to the stop one.

EXIT: allows to exit from the setting mode.

Once entered the setting mode it will be possible to set the following parameters:

TIME, DAY AND TIME MODE

Once entered the setting mode the first parameter that it is possible to set is the current day; i twill be necessary to push the DAY+ button until the right day is shown.

After setting the day it is possible to set the 12h/24h mode by switching from one mode to the other with the 12h/24h button.

Once selected these two parameters it is possible to set also the current time, the hours are now blinking on the display and using the + and - buttons it is possible to modify it and, once set, to fix it with the ENTER button.

After fixing the hours the minutes will start blinking and as for the hours it is possible to change that value with the + and - buttons and fix the right setting at the end with the ENTER. After the minutes confirmation the unit will automatically switch to the setting of each day of the week for the automatic functioning.

At this point of the setting procedure only the first day of the week, Monday (MO) will appear on the display together with the START one to underline that it is now possible to set the hours for the Monday CHILL mode starting time. The hours are now blinking on the display and it is possible to modify it with the + and - buttons; Once the desired hour is set, it is possible to fix it with the ENTER button.

After fixing the hours it will be possible to fix the minutes and confirm them in the same way. After the minute confirmation START will disappear replaced by STOP in order that it is now possible to set the end time of the CHILL mode and the beginning of the FREEZE one. Once fixed both the hours and the minutes the day will switch from Monday to Tuesday (TU); also in this case it will be possible to set the beginning and the end of the Tuesday CHILL mode.

In this way it will be possible to set all the days of the week until the last one, Sunday (SU) after which the setting procedure will restart from the beginning with the current time. With the EXIT button it will be possible to exit the setting mode.

NOTE: once the week time table has been set, the unit will automatically maintain it.

NOTE: when the AUTO button is switched on, the automatic mode parameters are active and the FREEZE and CHILL buttons are visible but not functioning. In order to switch back from the AUTO mode to the MANUAL one it is necessary to press the button again.

NOTE: the time table of the automatic mode is the same for all the three bowls.

NOTE: it is possible to switch on the FREEZE and the CHILL mode only if at least one of the three augers is rotating.

"FILTER CLEANING" Alarm

A filter cleaning alarm will activate when the unit is running hot due to insufficient internal air circulation. When this occurs the FILTER message will start blinking on the capacitive display as shown in picture 10. To determine the condition that caused the alarm, see list of conditions below:

Condition A: the filter is dirty and needs to be cleaned.

Corrective Action: clean and replace filter following instructions(Removing and Cleaning Filter).

• Condition B: the unit is positioned too close to a wall or other object restricting air flow and causing the machine to run at a higher temperature.

Corrective Action: reposition unit to maximize ventilation space (Installation Instructions).

• Condition C: the unit has been installed near a heat source, causing the machine to run at a high temperature (installation near a heat source should be avoided).

  c) The (E) switch controls the covers' LED lights.

! Warning ! If the machine is turned off at night, with the bowls filled, or just partially filled, a layer of solid ice may form on the surface, due to the natural separation of the unmixed product. In this case, before turning the machine back on, it is necessary to verify for the product complete melting in order to prevent damage to the mixing auger.

！CAUTION！

IPRO is equipped with an insulated bowl that will preserve the product temperature for many hours so once it will be necessary to operate in defrost/chill mode, we recommend to extend the duration of this operating mode until the product complete melting.

!Important!

Defrost or wash modes are not to be used in lieu of proper cleaning or sanitization procedures at the frequency of federal, state or local regulatory agencies.

CUT/OUT alarm and safety pressure switched intervention

If the unit is equipped with the safety pressure switch, the red light F on the unit right side, advices the user when the safety pressure switch has been activated and needs to be manually re-activated.

The manually re-start button is seated under the unit near the right side as indicated by the picture below.

Mechanical timer

If the unit is provided with a mechanical timer to automatically control the defrost mode, proceed with the timer regulation as described below:

Time regulation

• Set the hours by turning the external ring clockwise (fig.A);

CAUTION: the external ring is divided in two sectors of 12 hours each, respectively marked with AM for time hours between 0 and 12 and with PM for time hours between 12 and 24; verify to have correctly set the desired time hour on the desired side of the ring.

• Set the minutes by turning the minutes hand on the internal ring clockwise (fig.B);

The timer is powered when the plug is connected to the mains, in case the unit is disconnected, it has an internal battery that will keep the right time for 150 hours.

Timer activation

CAUTION: the timer is able to modify the unit behaviour only when the unit itself is operating in freeze or defrost mode.

In order to activate the timer into a precise time period, it is sufficient to move the correspondent tabs from the internal OFF to the external ON position (fig.C).

When the timer is activated (white tabs on the external ring on the ON position, fig.C), the unit will operate in defrost mode also if the switch number 2 is in the freeze position.
