10	Time delay between drive motor and compressor	P9	0–60	40	Second
11	Extending time for making the slush	PA	0-30	7	Minute

Note for “PA”: usually we can not make the slush ready in a very short time, because the sensor will detect that the temperature of mix falls down very quickly, then the compressor will stop working, however, at that time the slush is just getting freezing, not slushy, so we need to extend the freezing time for making the mix slushy, this parameter is for this purpose, you can adjust the freezing time to make the best slush as you wish.

Adjusting the Settings
To access the SETTINGS and make adjustments to them each setting, you will first need to access standby mode. To do so, simply make sure your machine is plugged into its main source of power. Locate the Main Power switch on the back of the machine and switch it into the ON position. Your machine is now in stand by mode. Follow the instructions below to make adjustments for each of the settings.

FIRMNESS SETTING
Press and hold the “UP” or “DOWN” button for about 2 seconds and the word “SET” will begin to flash on the display panel. Press “UP” or “DOWN” to increase or decrease the hardness setting. The range of the hardness setting is from 1 to 10, 1 being the softest setting and 10 being the firmer setting.

While in standby mode, press the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds and “SET” will begin flashing on the display panel and the number on the right side of the display panel will go into the first set-ting, P1. Press the “SET” button to scroll through the settings below.

SOFT SERVE AND HOPPER SETTINGS

P1-Preset Temperature for Hopper Cooling
Press “SET” button to enter the P1 setting, press “UP” or “DOWN” to adjust the temperature from -9°C to 9°C, press “SET” button again to save the data and enter into the P2 setting.

P2-Return Difference of Temperature of Hopper Cooling
Press “SET” button to enter the P2 setting, press “UP” or “DOWN” to adjust the temperature from -9°C to 9°C, press “SET” button again to save the data and enter into the P3 setting.

P3-Time Delay between Drive Motor & Compressor
Press “SET” button to enter the P3 setting, press “UP” or “DOWN” to adjust the time from 5 to 60 seconds, press “SET” button again to save the data and enter into the P4 setting.

P4-Compressor Restart Interval
Press “SET” button to enter the P4 setting, press “UP” or “DOWN” to adjust the time from 5 to 15 minutes, press “SET” button again to save the data and enter into the P5 setting.

P5-Time Delay Between Fan Motor & Drive Motor
Press “SET” button to enter the P4 setting, press “UP” or “DOWN” to adjust the temperature from 5 to 15 minutes, press “SET” button again to save the data and enter into the P1 setting.

SLUSH SETTINGS
To access and make adjustments to settings P6 – PA, you must be in “Slush Mode”. Press the “SLUSH” button to enter into the slush mode. Press and Hold the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds, and“ SET” will begin flashing on the display panel. Press the “SET” button to scroll through the settings below.

P6-Compressor Restart Timer
This setting represents the maximum number of minutes which the compressor can be in standby (OFF) before it must restart and begin cooling the freezing cyclinder.

For example, the compressor will stay on until the temperature of the freezing cylin-der has reached the “Target Temperature” set in the P7 setting. At that time a timer will start, and the compressor will continue to stay on for the number of seconds set in the P9 setting, “Extend Time for Compressor”. As soon as that time is reached, the compressor will shut off and go into standby mode for the number of minutes set in this P6 setting at which point the compressor will turn back on and repeat this cycle.

Press “SET” button to enter the P6 setting, press “UP” or “DOWN” to adjust the temperature from 0 to 5 minutes, press “SET” but-ton again to save the data and enter into the P7 setting.

P7 – Freezing Cylinder Target Temperature
Press “SET” button to enter the P4 setting, press “UP” or “DOWN” to adjust the temperature from -9 to 9 minutes, press “SET” but-ton again to save the data and enter into the P8 setting.

P8 – Return Temperature for Freezing Cylinder
This temperature setting is the delta of P7, Freeze Cylinder Temperature Setting, from which the Temperature of the Freezing Cylinder must reach before the the Compressor will turn back оп.

For example, if your P7 setting is set to -5°C and this setting is set for 3°C, then when the compressor is in standby it will not turn back on until the Freezing Cylinder Temp reaches -2°C, which is a 3 degree difference from the P7 setting of -5°C.

Press “SET” button to enter the P8 setting. Press “UP” or “DOWN” to adjust the delta return temperature for the cooling cylinder from 0 to 9. Press “SET” button again to save the data and enter into P9 setting.

P9 – Extend Time for Compressor
This setting represents the number of seconds in which the compressor will continue to run once the Freeze Cylinder Target Temperature has been reached, which is set in the PA setting.

For example, if your P7 setting is set to -5°C and this setting is set for 30, as the compressor is running and cooling the freezing cylinder, when the Freezing Cylinder Temp reaches the target temperature of -5°C. instead of the compressor shutting off, it will continue running for 30 seconds, which is represented by the 30 in this setting.

Press “SET” button to enter the P9 setting, press “UP” or “DOWN” to adjust this setting between 0-60 seconds. Press “SET” button again to save the data and enter into the P6 setting.

PA – Extended Time for Initial Freeze
In the initial freeze cycle, once the temperature sensor has detected that the temperature of the freezing cylinder has reached the Freeze Cylinder Temperature Setting set in “P7”, a timer will start and will allow the compressor to stay on for the number of minutes set in this “PA” setting. This will allow the mix in the freezing cylinder to become slushy before the compressor shuts off and the normal freezing cycle begins.

Cleaning Your Machine

1. Make sure you have placed your D150 into standby mode by taking it out of soft serve mode or out of Slush mode.
2. Press the “CLEAN” button on the control panel to activate the auger.
3. Pull down on the dispensing handle to empty out all of the contents from inside the freezing cylinder and hopper then release the handle back into its closed position.
4. Pour clean water into the hopper on your D150, then repeat step 3 in order to empty out all of the water and residual contents of the mix.
5. Continue with steps 3 & 4 until the water that in being dispensed from the machine begins to come back fairly clear.
6. Once the water that is being dispensed from the D150 is fairly clear coming out of the machine, drain all of the water from the D150 completely and then press the “CLEAN” but-ton again and this will shut off the auger and put the ma-chine back into standby mode.
   Power down and unplug the power cord from the power source before you continuing.
7. Remove the faceplate by rotating the 2 thumb bolts on both sides of the faceplate counter clockwise.
8. Remove the auger by simple pulling it straight out of the freezing cylinder. Handwash all parts connected to the face-plate and auger using soap and water.
9. Using a warm wet cloth, wipe down the freezing cylinders and the hopper to remove any residual residue.
10. Once all parts are clean, assemble the faceplate and mount it back on to the front of the D150.

STERILIZATION

1. Reassemble the machine back into its original state. Plug machine into power source and power machine back on. Fill hopper with water just above the freezing cylinder and augers. Press the MIX button to activate the rotation of the augers.
2. Add 1 tablespoon of sodium hypochlorite (liquid Bleach) into the water inside of the bowls. Let the auger mix the water and bleach combination and soak for about 10-20 minutes. Drain the water and power down the machine when complete.
3. Wipe down the surface of the machine housing using a wet cloth.
4. Clean the dust inside of the machine regularly. The condenser should be cleaned mainly by sweeping away the dust on the surface of the cooling fan to ensure good refrigeration from the machine. We recommend using a can of compressed air.
5. The machine shall be stored in a clean room with good ventilation when not in use.

This machine is manufactured strictly according to the quality standard. The service life of the machine can be extended by virtue of correct use, maintenance and preservation.
