For transport and HANDLING of the vendor follow carefully the below instructions:

• Use a transpallet/forklift having a minimun loading capacity of 400 kg., the wooden base (A) permits
to fork the vendor on 4 sides (fig. 3.1).
• If installation is not immediate position the vendor vertically in a dry and covered area.
• CAUTION: it is absolutely forbidden to transport and/or position the vendor in a horizontal position.
• If the machine is mistakenly placed in a horizontal position, re-position it again in working
position (vertical) and wait at least12 hours before starting it, otherwise it would be possible to
cause damages or anomalies to the cooling unit.
• Place the vendor in the installation area, work with caution, avoid jumps and bumps.
• Free the machine from its packing, extract, from the back protection grill, the power cable and
carefully place it in the final position.

3.2 Characteristics of Installation Area

CAUTION: THE MACHINE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR OUTDOOR INSTALLATION

CAUTION: DO NOT USE JETS OF WATER TO CLEAN VENDOR, DO NOT PLACE THE VENDOR IN AREAS WHERE
JETS OF WATER ARE USED

Environmental conditions for installing vendor

• “Mod. GF6-GF9-DR6-DR9” vendors must be installed in an area/room where temperature does not
exceed 32 °C or fall below 10 °C, otherwise the ele ctric parts (compressor) could overheat or
malfunction.
• The air circulation is very important for the cooling unit, check that there is a 10 cm gap between the
rear of the vendor and the obstacle (wall).
• Check that the surface where the vendor is placed supports the weight of the machine.

3.3 Removing of Wooden Bases

To remove wooden bases, work as follows:

• With a transpallet lift the machine from the floor (holding it from the Front)
• With an adjustable wrench unscrew the screws that fasten the wooden base to the machine: 2
screws on the right hand side and 2 screws on the left hand side
• Assemble the 4 feet on the base of the machine
• Place the machine on the floor

3.4 Levelling
In order to have the best working conditions place the vendor on a perfectly levelled surface. Any
irregularities on the floor can be compensate by adjusting the screw-on feet on the vending machine to
obtain a perfect levelling and guarantee stability.

i THE BEST PERFORMANCE IS GUARANTEED IF THE VENDOR IS PLACED ON A HORIZONTAL SURFACE

LED flashing: inserting a function there is a delay in timing
ES. The compressor has a timing delay when starting, therefore the LED of the compressor on the display
starts to flash.

E0 still or flashing means an adjusting probe error:

• probe not working, the probe signal is interrupted or in short circuit:
• probe is not compatible with the instrument;
The E0 alarm signal is stable if it is the only alarm present (the temperature value is no longer shown), it
flashes if there are other alarms or if the second probe is shown .
E1 flashes evaporator probe error:
• probe not working, the probe signal is interrupted or in short circuit;
• probe is not compatible with the instrument;

EE visualized during functioning or activation

Error in reading of the machine parameters. See memorised data errors.
EF visualized during functioning or activation
Error in reading of the working parameters. See memorised data errors.
Ed flashing
The last defrosting finishes when exceeding the maximum time.
The indication disappears if the next defrost is finished correctly.
dF flashing
defrosting in course:
• it is not an alarm signal but an indication that the instrument is doing a defrosting.
Display flashing
The control unit display and all the leds are flashing:
• indicates that the door is open, or that the door switch is not working correctly:
• it is activated when the door remains open for more than one hours

6.4 Function
When switching on the control unit for the first times there will be a delay of three minutes in the compressor
and evaporator fan starting .
During normal working, the compressor will stop only after reaching the set point temperature and the
evaporator fans will work always.
When opening the door (if there is a door switch) both the compressor (if working) and fans will stop.
When closing the door, the fans will start immediately, while the compressor will have a delay of three
minutes from the last switching off, even if the door is closed before.

The cooling unit is controlled by various parameters inserted in the software of the control unit and
unchangeable by the User, this avoids possible and unwanted modifications to the same parameters, that
could cause a malfunctioning of the cooling unit. In any case, for any particular needs it is possible to contact
the technical assistance service that will assist you in various problems.
