RUN SWITCH
INDICATOR AND
PROGRAM SWITCH
INDICATOR ARE
FLASHING. Simultaneous flashing of the run switch indicator and program switch indicator

WHEN A BATCH
SIZE SELECTOR IS
PRESSED.
If one of the above actions did not correct the problem, call FASC.
A.
The load cell may not have been
satisfied within 30 seconds, normally
because the hopper is empty or the
fries have “bridged”.
A.
Check the hopper to verify that the
deflector is properly positioned. If
there are fries in the hopper, verify
that there is no bridging. If the
hopper is empty, reload the hopper.

tion.
DISPENSE DOOR
DOES NOT OPEN
WHEN BASKET IS
INSERTED.
If the above action did not correct the problem, call FASC.
A.
If the erratic batch weights are
occurring only occasionally, the
probable cause is bumping, jarring,
and/or unusual vibration (such as
caused by inserting a basket with
undue force, the slamming of a freezer
door, or the passing of a nearby train).
A.
Exercise care when working around
the unit to avoid bumping or jarring
it while it is in operation. Ensuring
that the unit is not touching
adjacent walls, and placing the unit
on a rubber mat will reduce the
effect of environmental vibrations.
ERRATIC BATCH
WEIGHTS ARE
BEING DISPENSED.
B.
If the erratic batch weights are
occurring consistently, the probable
causes are misaligned components
(B1) or improperly programmed batch
weights (B2).
B1.
Verify that the dispensing chute is
properly positioned on the load cell
arms, that the deflector is properly
positioned in the hopper, and that
the hopper is fully seated behind
the locking rim on the cradle
assembly.
