OPERATION
1.
During slow sales periods, turn rear rollers on low heat and fill rollers with product. Keep front rollers on
medium and serve product from there. Shift product from the rear to the front and reload.
2.
During busy periods, set rear control to medium and front control to high. Serve from the front rollers
first.
3. During very busy periods, set all thermostats on high. Fill all of the rollers with product. At this
temperature, product should be sold within 15 minutes.
IMPORTANT: Never serve product from low heat if not approved by the health department.
NEVER CHANGE PRODUCT FROM HIGH TO LOW HEAT AS THIS CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE CAUSES
THE PRODUCT TO SHRIVEL.
CLEANING
NOTE: Proper maintenance plays an important part in the life span and functioning of the unit
1.
Turn temperature controls on high and turn rollers on before cleaning.
2.
ALWAYS START AT THE END OF THE ROLLERS AND WIPE TOWARD THE CENTER. This prevents
extra grease from entering the sides of the unit and into the bearings.
♦ Silverstone rollers: Use a scratch proof sponge made for non-stick coated products or a soft cloth to
wipe the rollers clean. If the build up on the rollers cannot be removed by just wiping with a wet
sponge, wrap some ice cubes inside a soft towel and rub over the rollers. NOTE: never use any metal
object on the Silverstone rollers at any time. Metal will cause serious damage to the rollers.
♦ GripsIt rollers: Use a soft cloth to wipe the rollers clean. If the build up on the rollers cannot be
removed by just wiping with a wet cloth, wrap some ice cubes inside a soft towel and rub over the
rollers. NOTE: Never use any metal objects on the GripsIt rollers at any time. Metal will cause serious
damage to the rollers.
♦ Chrome rollers: Each unit comes with a two sided sponge. Use the rough side of the sponge to remove
all residue from the rollers. If build up of residue cannot be removed from the rollers by wiping with a
course sponge you may use any type of kitchen abrasive to clean the rollers.
3. After cleaning the rollers, remove the drip pan and clean with mild soap and water.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
IF ROLLERS WON’T TURN
1.
Check power source to be sure machine is plugged into the proper voltage outlet and that the outlet is in
proper working order
2.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the unit from the power source before disassembly.
3.
Remove the end covers
4. If the drive chain is off the idler sprocket, reinstall it.
5. Remove the drive chain from the sprocket on the motor shaft and if the rollers turn easily, then replace
the motor.
6.
Remove the chain guard and inspect the sprockets on the end of each roller. If they are loose, worn, or
out of alignment, then replace the roller.
7.
If the rollers are hard to turn by hand (without the chain attached) remove and clean out any
accumulated foreign matter in the bearings and on the rollers.
8. Before reconnecting the chain to the motor, pull the chain by hand. The chain should pull the rollers
easily and freely and should not ride up on the sprockets of the rollers and jam against the top of the
chain guard. If the chain pulls freely, the motor can be reconnected. Do not reconnect if there is any
difficulty with the chain turning since undue strain on the motor will shorten its life.
9.
IMPORTANT: Reassemble the machine completely before reconnecting to the power source.
IF MACHINE BLOWS A FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER
1.
Check capacity of the circuit being used to be sure it isn’t overloaded
2.
Unplug the unit and check it’s wiring for short circuits.
