SPIRALI FASTER 1T
•All the drawers can be set at a temperature
of +3°C to ensure good preservation of
foodstuffs which are perishable at higher
temperatures. In this area, in accordance
with the “HACCP” (hazard analysis and
critical control points) standard, a control
device, called " refrigeration unit safety
device", prevents the sale of products if the
temperature which can deteriorate the
product is exceeded.
SPIRALI FASTER 2T with an electronic system make it possible to have two areas with different
temperatures, specifically:
•top drawer area where the temperature is
stratified from +9°C to +14°C; ideal for
shelf-stable products.
•bottom drawer area where the
temperature can be set at +3°C for a good
preservation of perishable food substances
which would not otherwise resist higher
temperatures. To comply with “HACCP”
principles (Hazard Analysis and Critical
Control Points), a control, called the
"refrigeration safety device", is provided in
this area to prohibit the sale of the product if
the temperature exceeds the temperature
which could cause the product to perish.
The two areas are isolated from each other by
an insulating panel.

6 TRANSPORT, STORAGE, UNPACKING PROCEDURE
Examine the machine both inside and outside and notify the carrier immediately
of any damage.
6.1 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
In order not to cause damages to the distributor, the loading and unloading manoeuvring have to be
performed with particular care.
The loading/unloading manoeuvres must be carried out by lifting the machine with a lifting truck, either motor-driven
or manual, and by positioning the forks in the area under the pallet.
To move the machine over short distances, for example inside a premises or office, the pallet need not be
used. Proceed however with maximum caution to prevent damaging the machine. It is always prohibited:
•To lie the machine down;
•To turn the distributor upside down;
•To drag the distributor with ropes or similar;
•To lift the distributor from the side;
•To lift the distributor with whatever sling or rope;
It is strongly advisable never to lay the vending machine on its side so as to
ensure that the oil in the compressor does not leak from its seat. If it does, it
would no longer be possible to guarantee the correct lubrication of the
compressor itself and could lead to breakdown when starting up.
In the event that the vending machine is laid flat, place it in an environment with a
temperature no less than 18°C and wait at least 2 hours before setting the
machine at work.
As to the storage of the machines, it is appropriate that the environment of conservation is very dry with
temperatures between 0° to +40° C.
Cover the machine after having positioned it in a protected environment and anchor it to prevent it from
moving and to avoid accidental knocks. It is important not to put one packed machine on the other and to
maintain the vertical position shown by the arrows on the packaging itself.
6.2 UNPACKING PROCEDURE
The packing material must be removed carefully to avoid damaging the machine. Inspect inside and outside
the cabinet for any damage. Do not destroy the packing material until the manufacturer’s representative has
examined it.
Remember to remove packing materials or equipment inside the vending machine
which could affect the correct function of the machine.
To remove the machine from the pallet, simply loosen the 4 hexagonal-head screws (2 at the back of the
distributor and 2 at the front) which secure the machine base to the pallet and which are reached by opening
the door.
To ensure correct circulation of air in the refrigeration unit, re-install the rear brackets which secure the
vending machine to the pallet, upside down.
The packing materials must be disposed of respecting the environment and the
laws in force.
When lifting the vending machine, ensure that the supporting feet are removed
from the pallet.

3) Start the loading from front to rear and make sure that all spaces are loaded. The bottom of the product
should be placed on the base of the division right above the spiral, with label turned to the window so that
it is recognizable by the customer. All products have to be easily placed in the spirals; do not introduce
bigger objects. Spirals can have different pitches and therefore you should choose the spiral suitable for
the product you want to vend or vice-versa choose the product according to the spirals you have.
4) After having loaded all drawers, make sure that they turn to position "STANDBY". Each spiral can be
turned each time of 45°. Most of the products can be sold without troubles when the spiral end is
positioned at hour 6. For brik products adjust the end 90° in advance.
NOTE: Products in bags or boxes must be correctly placed. The sealed edge of the bag can slip under the
spiral wire not allowing the fall of the bag. It is recommended to fold the edge forward and upward before
inserting the bag in the space of the spiral. Products like cakes, biscuits, "handle with care" objects, etc.,
should be placed in the lower drawers so that they will not be damaged falling.
8.1.1 GUIDELINES FOR LOADING PRODUCTS
Check the TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS chapter to identify which configuration your automatic vending
machine corresponds to, in order to identify the exact area controlled by the “refrigeration unit safety device”.
When the machine is switched on for the first time, wait approximately 12 hours for the machine to reach the
operating temperature. In any case, check that the internal part of the machine has dropped below 4°C
before placing the refrigerated products.
If the “refrigeration unit safety device” is tripped, the products in the selections that are out of order must be
eliminated; also in this case, when the machine is switched back on again, wait for the machine to reach the
operating temperature before placing the new refrigerated products inside it.
To remain within the safety limits for the refrigerated products the total door-open time must be no more than
15 minutes. Consequently, all operations must be carried out in as short a time as possible.

8.2 SPACER FOR PRODUCTS ON FOOD ZONE (fig. 3)
Spacers -A- should be used when "narrow" products are loaded.
Place them so that they push the product freely against the right side of the division and the product stands
straight.
To settle the spacer, pull forwards to narrow the space, pull backwards to widen the space. Leave 3 mm
between spacer and product.
8.3 PRODUCT EXPELLER (fig. 3)
The expeller -B- can be used when there are products in sacks like chips or others. The expeller will help
them coming out of the spiral. It is hooked up at the end of the spiral and acts as an additional part of the
product to vend pushing it out of the drawer.
8.4 VENDING A PRODUCT
After loading the machine, setting the selling prices for each product, positioning the price labels, checking
that the drawers have been turned in selling position, the machine is ready to vend.
1) Insert enough money to buy the product.
2) Dial on the panel the combination corresponding to the chosen product.
3) Take the product from the delivery door.
