Drain Product From The Machine
If the unit was in overnight/standby mode removal of the product is easier as the cylinder
product is not frozen, only chilled.
Remove the lid from
the hopper and take
out the air tube. Set
the air tube into the
container for cleaning
If the unit has
product in it, press
RESET
then wash. If the
machine was just in
use and the cylinder
product is frozen let
the wash cycle run
for a minute or two.
With a bucket under the dispensing
assembly, pull down the draw handles
to dispense the product. If the product
is to be kept, draw one handle at a
time, pouring product into separate
containers, and then place the product
into a fridge. Once product slows
down press RESET.
