How to set up the timer

Eskimo Joe's fast freeze slush machines with a timer can be easily programmed to switch between freeze and overnight mode:

1. Freeze mode - ready to make and serve slush. Set freeze mode to start 1 hour before opening time
   
   
2. Overnight mode – an intelligent night mode to keep product fresh. Set overnight mode to start 30 minutes after closing time.

These 2 modes are controlled by the timer, to set your timer:

1) Press and release the RESET button once, ASCO will appear on the screen

2) Hold down the TIME button until the YEAR flashes up

    Set the year using the ADV/OVR button

    Press the TIME button again, set the MONTH

    Repeat this process until you have set the DATE, HOURS and MINUTES

    Press time again, the screen will display the time and OFF

3) Hold down the PROG button for 3 seconds until the screen displays MODE and all the days of the week along the bottom

4) Press PROG button to set the time you want the machine to begin to freeze the product, it will display PROG 1 ON

    Press PROG button, it will flash the hour

    Use the ADV/OVR button to set the hour

    Press PROG button to set the minutes using the ADV/OVR button again

    Press PROG button to confirm the minutes

5) The display will then say PROG 1 off

     Repeat step 4 to set the time you want the machine to set in chill or overnight mode

6) The display will then read PROG 2 

    Now press and hold the PROG button until the time of day is on the screen

7) Make sure machine is switched on and turning

    Press the ADV/OVR button once

    The compressor will then start and red and green lights will come on

    The timer will displace ADVANCED ON, and the machine will start freezing the product

NOTE:

• You do not need to touch the timer or power buttons on the machine any more.
• DO NOT switch the machine off at the main power within 24 hours or the timer will have to be set again
• THE BUTTON MARKED ‘BOOST’ IS A PROGRAM BUTTON ONLY. IT CANNOT AND WILL NOT BOOST YOUR MACHINES PERFORMANCE.

• WHEN YOU RESET THE TIMER THE WORD "ASCO" WILL APPEAR - THIS IS A SYSTEM MESSAGE NOT AN ERROR MESSAGE. 
  ASCO automatically adjusts the timer for winter and summer times.

It's important to switch your machine to overnight mode every night

Overnight mode:

• protects your machine from start-up damage
• contributes to the best quality and texture slush drink for your customers. • protects your slush from spoiling
• reduces energy consumption and excessive wear on your machine
• the machine goes into chill mode and monitors temperature of the product in the tanks
• if the product temperature goes above 4C the machine will go back into day mode to chill the product down again, and will repeat this cycle while in overnight mode

If your machine is simply switched off with slush in the tanks, it can cause:

• “icebergs” to float on the surface which leads to poor quality slush
• hard chunks of ice which can cause damage or break the spiral blades • your product to quickly spoil and grow bacteria (especially in warm or humid temperatures) • increased operating and maintenance costs

For best results and the best quality slush product, always have your tanks filled to the maximum fill level when your machine is in overnight mode
