Operator presses one of the drink type buttons on the Drink
Selection screen, and the Flavor Options screen appears.
Once a flavor is selected, the Size screen appears. See
“Procedure to Make a Drink” on page 22.

drink for the correct time at the proper blender speed. If
add-ins are required for the drink after blending, the user
will be prompted.

blend chamber door, the automatic rinse of the blender
initiates. The Drink Selection screen re-appears.

Switch
The ice machine will not start until:
1. The compressor rocker switch is moved to “ON”.
2. Ice does not contact the bin level sensor.
3. The water reservoir is full of water.
With power supplied and the compressor rocker switch in
the ON position, the gear motor and refrigeration system
start. The float valve controls the water inlet valve and water
level. The freeze cycle ends when the ice contacts the ice
bin level sensor.
NOTE: Ice machines use an auger to remove ice from the
evaporator. Occasional noises (creaks, groans, squeaks, or
pops) are a normal part of the ice making process.
