The operator can load a previously stored recipe from the Recipe Book. The Recipe book
also allows the operators to save the current running recipe. This can be done by performing
the following steps:
1. Touch the Recipe Book icon located on the Recipe Screen.
2. Select a stored recipe by changing the number next to “Recipe #”
3. Touch the “load recipe” icon
4. Touch the “accept new recipe” icon
To edit/save a recipe to the Recipe Book:
1. Go to the Recipe Book by touching the Recipe Book icon.
2. Select a stored recipe by changing the number next to “Recipe #”.
3. Make desired changes to the stored recipe.
4. Touch the “save” icon and wait for it to disappear.
• Hopper #3 on some models is equipped with an oversized square gate to
assist in the feeding of the regrind material.
• The blender only shows the “accept new recipe” icon if the recipe is valid.
• Recipes can also be changed while the blender is running. The new accepted
recipe is loaded at the beginning of the next batch. This allows the operator
to modify the new recipe without affecting the blender until they hit the
“Accept New Recipe” button.
