6.1. Remove the packaging.
6.2. Set an ATM on a flat hard surface, providing easy access to controls.
6.3. Make sure that the distance between the body and the nearest objects is at least 10 cm.
6.4. Connect the power cable to the device and plug it in.
IMPORTANT:
— when connecting, make sure that the phases in the socket are not reversed with zero (with a direct test screwdriver or multimeter). In case of error (Err) on the display, it is necessary to reverse the phases «L1» and «L2» without touching «N» according to the labels on the socket.
IMPORTANT! For correct equipment operation it is necessary to maintain a room temperature from 18°C to 25°C. Otherwise, the heating system will show a result higher, than the permissible one (we also draw your attention to the fact that deviation from temperature standards in the room can affect the quality of the product, since in most cases its properties also depend on the environment).
7.1. Remove the protective grid from the tank and put the chocolate in it. Cover the tank.
7.2. Check the state of the emergency stop button (it must not be pushed). The power button on the left side of the machine should light up to indicate that it is ready to start. Press it.
7.3. The Standby indicator (D) will light up to indicate that the machine is ready for work. Press the Heat button (B). The displays (A) and (G) will show the current temperatures of the tank and nozzle, and the heating of the machine units will begin.
7.4. When the temperature on the display (A) reaches the set level, you will hear a signal indicating the ability of starting the mixer. Press the Mixer button (C) to begin mixing the chocolate in the tank. Rotation will not start if the current tank temperature is lower than the set one (the recommended temperature is 45°C). The temperature of the product in the tank can be changed with the Tank temperature control buttons (H1).
7.5. Press the Pump button (E) to start product circulation. The product will flow from the nozzle.
7.6. After starting the mixing and circulation, you can start the tempering process by pressing the Temper button (F). When the temperature on the display (G) reaches the set level, you will hear a signal indicating the product is ready for use. The outlet temperature can be changed using the Outlet temperature control buttons (H2).
Recommended temperatures:
— dark chocolate: 30-31°С
— milk chocolate: 29-30°С
— white chocolate: 28-29°С
These values are for guidance only and should be changed according to the cocoa butter rate in the product. During tempering, no solid product can be added to the tank (only in liquid condition at 45°C).
7.7. This machine is equipped with a Dispenser function (dispensing a specified amount of product when you press the pedal). To activate this function, press the Dispenser Setup button (L). On the left display (A), the temperature value will be replaced by the current dose value. You can store up to 15 values in memory (to scroll through them, press H1(+)). To change the value of the deposited dose, hold the «Dispenser setting» button (L) pressed for approximately 7 seconds until a sound signal (the dose value will begin to flash) and press the H1(+/-) buttons to change the value to the desired value (change step is 1). When the dosing function is activated and the pedal is pressed, the machine will interrupt the feeding, after which the product will be deposited in accordance with the set dose. Constantly pressing and holding the pedal activates fixed pause and release cycles. Setting the pause time between depositing cycles is described in paragraph 7.9. of this manual (parameter dJ) and must be carried out on a machine with an untempered product (approx. 45°C).
7.8. Since the specific gravity may vary for each specific product, it is advisable to calibrate the dosage for each new product loaded into the machine. Dosing calibration should be carried out on tempered chocolate at a temperature of 28-32°C, at which later depositing into molds will be carried out. This is important because at a higher temperature, for example 45°C, the product will be less thick and the dosage settings for it will be different. Also, for proper calibration, the tank must be at least 75% full.
So the first thing to do is to load at least 75% of the tank with the product and then temper this volume (until the sound signal).
When the chocolate is tempered, press the button (F) to exit the tempering mode, then enter the dispensing mode by pressing the «Dispenser Settings» button (L). Next, press buttons (I) and (L) simultaneously and hold them for about 5 seconds until the display (G) shows:
(light weight, instead of «170» may be another number)
Keeping the pedal pressed, collect the chocolate poured out by the machine in 1 cycle using a container of known weight (place the previously empty container on the scale and press «Container» or a similar button). Weigh the chocolate unloaded by the machine in 1 cycle and enter the net weight (in grams) of the collected sample on the display (A) by pressing the H1(+/-) buttons.
Press the H2(+) button, it should display:
(greater weight, instead of «310» may be another number)
Keep the pedal pressed and collect the chocolate poured out by the machine in 1 cycle. Weigh the chocolate unloaded by the machine in 1 cycle and enter the net weight (in grams) of the collected sample on the display (A) by pressing the H1(+/-) buttons.
Press the (H2+) button until it displays:
To complete the calibration, press the H2(+) button again.
After calibration, it is recommended to turn on the tempering mode again by pressing the «Start tempering» button (F), wait until the chocolate reaches the set temperature (if it has warmed up significantly during calibration) and check/more precisely adjust the specific dose:
— Press the button «Dispenser settings» (L);
— Select the dose value of interest from the saved ones (by pressing the H1 buttons), or change any unnecessary value (as described above in paragraph 7.7. of this manual);
— Press and hold the pedal, collect the sample to be weighed.
If the net weight of the collected sample differs from the selected dose value by +/- 10%, make a more precise adjustment to the specific dose. To do this, hold the «Dispenser setting» button (L) pressed for about 7 seconds until a sound signal (the dose value will begin to flash) and press the H1(+/-) buttons to change the value in the desired direction: for example, if «100» was set, and if you get 110 g, you need to reduce «100» to approximately «91» and repeat the check / adjustment (if necessary).
If the net weight of the first collected sample after calibration differs from the selected dose value by much more than 10% (for example, «100» was specified, but the result was 150 grams), it is necessary to repeat the calibration procedure — probably an error was made in the process.
IMPORTANT! The dose value is indicated not in grams, but in the so-called «cycles» (conditional internal value of the machine, used by the firmware to control the amount of feed during dispensing). This convention is necessary because it is impossible to specify the specific gravity of all possible products that can be used in the machine. Thus, the situation in which the dose value is set, for example, «91», and the machine dispenses 100 grams, is the norm, and not an error or breakdown.
7.9. The automatic tempering machine has a «deep settings mode», the default values of which are suitable for 90% of the machine’s operation and do not require modification or control. It is recommended to perform the actions described below only in cases where you know exactly for what purpose and what changes need to be made (for example, adjust the dJ parameter to change the pause time between depositing cycles, as described in paragraph 7.7. of this manual).
To enter the «deep settings mode», follow the procedure:
— Stop the ATM (press buttons (F), (E), (C), (B) in sequence if they were pressed previously);
— Start the ATM (press button (B));
— Press buttons (F), (M), (N) at the same time.
The left display (A) should show the SFr parameter, and the right display (G) should show the value of this parameter (OFFor ON). To switch between parameters, use the H1(+/-) buttons, and to change the value of a parameter, use the H2(+/-) buttons.
Parameters that can be changed in the «deep settings mode»:
8.1. During the operation keep an ATM clean.
8.2. It is allowed to wipe the body with a damp cloth, after disconnecting an ATM from the power supply.
8.3. If the power supply is lost during the operating cycle, restart the ATM.
8.4. If user wants to leave chocolate in the tank at the end of the working cycle , it is recommended to do the following:
— if tempering is started: press the (F) button to stop it;
— wait a few minutes until the temperature of the product in the nozzle rises to about 36°C;
— press the following buttons in sequence: (E)→(C)→(B) to switch an ATM to the «Standby» mode (indicator (D) is on);
— An ATM can be turned off by pressing the red button.
8.5. Cover the container with a lid at the end of the working cycle.
