Each buttons factory Pre-Set Application.

Use the following chart to determine which button you will need.

NOTE:

The chart below uses the factory settings in determining the use of each PRE-SET
button (your machines PRE-SET buttons may be different if your PBS was 
programmed specifically for your business).

How to operate your PBS using one of the 
Pre-Set Buttons.

1. Place liquids and other ingredients into the machine’s container first. Try to avoid running

the PBS with the container empty.

2. Set the container on the motor base by aligning it over the rubber centering pad (Motor

must be completely stopped before positioning container). 

3. Make sure there is a sufficient amount of ice in the Ice Bin for the amount of drink(s) 

being made.

4. Select desired programmed setting by pressing any of the Pre-Set Buttons 1 through 4 

or A and B. The machine will immediately begin to cycle through the selected program,
shutting off when the program is complete. 

The PBS measures the amount of shaved ice by weighing the container. For your PBS
to dispense the correct amount of ice DO NOT rest your hand or any object against or
on the container during the blending or shaving cycle. If you detect a change in the
sound of the machine or if a hard or foreign object comes into contact with the blades,
do not serve the drink. Inspect your blade assembly for loose, nicked or missing parts.
If parts are loose, missing or nicked replace with a new blade 
assembly. (See page 14.)
