Flushing and Priming Settings
In this section, you can adjust how long the
pumps will run during the Flush and Prime
functions, how long the “Flush Spout” function
flushes and whether or not the FLUSH SPOUT
button appears on the main screen. You can
also set the spout flush settings for a second
spout if you have two spouts dispensing Flavor
Burst product.
4. Press the “Flushing and Priming Settings”
section in the Maintenance Menu.
5. Set the “Default Syrup Flush Time.” This is
how long the system pumps sanitizer
solution through the syrup lines during
routine maintenance or replacing flavors.
In order to comply with sanitation
guidelines, a minimum of 900 seconds is
required to fully clean and sanitize a syrup
line and pump.
6. Set the maximum time you wish to have
syrup flow when priming a syrup line. When
the priming function is activated, it will
automatically shut off after this time unless
the function is stopped or cancelled.
7. If you wish to have easy access to flushing
the spout with sanitizer solution, you can
enable a FLUSH SPOUT button on the
main screen. You can also adjust how long
the spout flushes when activated. If you
find the spout is not clearing product during
the flushing function, increase the Injector
Flush Time.
NOTE: IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED THE
“FLUSH SPOUT” BUTTON BE ACTIVATED IN
SELF-SERVE ENVIRONMENTS. THOSE NOT
FAMILIAR WITH THE EQUIPMENT MAY
ACCIDENTLY ACTIVATE THE FLUSHING
FUNCTION WITHOUT REALIZING WHAT IT
DOES OR HAVE A CONTAINER TO CATCH
THE SANITIZER SOLUTION.
NOTE: THIS OPTION IS NOT AVAILABLE
FOR FCB SYSTEMS.

Flushing Functions
Flushing functions are used to clean and
sanitize the syrup lines, syrup pumps, and
spout. This is done whenever a syrup bag is
switched with a different flavor, during the 30-
day routine maintenance of the Clean-In-Place
procedure, and when winterizing the unit. By
connecting each syrup line to a special adapter,
the system purges and sanitizes the line with
sanitizer solution.
The Pump Flush Adapter for a soft-serve
system has two connectors. One end connects
to the flavor line and is used to pump sanitizer
solution through the line and its pump. The
other end is used to clean the Syrup Bag
Adapter. The beverage Pump Flush Adapter
only has a connection for the flavor line.
Always use fresh approved sanitizer solution
according to manufacturer’s instructions (no
more than 2 days old. Use hot water for best
sanitizing results.
1. Press the “Flushing Functions” section in
the Maintenance Menu.
2. Select the flavor of the syrup line you are
flushing.
3. Disconnect the Syrup Bag Connector from
the syrup bag.
4. Locate the Pump Flush Adapter under the
bottom tray and connect it to the Syrup Bag
Connector.
5. Place a container under the spout, or end of
the syrup line.
6. Press one of the Flush buttons.
FLUSH – XXX SECONDS button will flush
the line for predetermined time. The timer
here counts down.
FLUSH CONTINUOUSLY button will
continue indefinitely until you press the
CANCEL button. There is a timer on the
screen that will show how much time has
passed.
NOTE: YOU MAY CANCEL THE FLUSH
PROCEDURE AT ANY TIME BY TOUCHING
THE CANCEL KEY. HOWEVER, THE
SYSTEM MUST COMPLETE A FULL 15
MINUTE FLUSH PROCESS FOR EACH
SYRUP LINE IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH
SANITATION GUIDELINES.
21
NOTE: WHILE THE FLUSH FUNCTION IS
ACTIVE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
PERFORM OTHER FUNCTIONS ON THE
TOUCH PANEL.
NOTE: TO CHANGE THE LENGTH OF TIME
THE FLUSH PROCEDURES RUN, SEE
“FLUSHING AND PRIMING SETTINGS” OF
THE MAINTENANCE MENU.
7. Repeat these steps for other lines that need
to be flushed, or disconnect the Pump Flush
Adapter.
8. Clean and sanitize the Syrup Bag Adapter,
Syrup Bag Connector and syrup bag fitment
before reconnecting the syrup bag to the
syrup line. For full cleaning instructions of
the connectors and other related parts, see
section SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
“Clean-In-Place Procedure”.
9. If there is more than one cabinet installed
on this system, press the CHANGE
MACHINE button to access that machine’s
syrup lines.
10. To simply flush the spout with sanitizer
solution, place a container under the spout
and press and hold FLUSH SPOUT until the
spout is clear.
Priming Functions
The priming functions fills the syrup line with
new or fresh syrup. This is typically done when
switching flavors and after the syrup line has
been flushed with sanitizer solution (see
“Flushing Functions” above). It is also done to
prime the lines with fresh syrup, since syrup
can lose its flavor if it has been sitting in the
syrup line for a few days without use.
1. Press the “Priming Functions” section in the
Maintenance Menu.
2. Place a container under the spout to catch
the purged syrup.
3. Select the flavor of the syrup line you are
priming.
4. The syrup will start to pump through the line
and shut off automatically after a preset
time. If you need to stop the prime function
early, or if the syrup is running fresh and
undiluted, you can press the flavor button
again to cancel the function.
NOTE: WHILE THE PRIME FUNCTION IS
ACTIVE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
PERFORM OTHER FUNCTIONS ON THE
TOUCH PANEL.
NOTE: TO CHANGE THE LENGTH OF TIME
THE PRIMING PROCEDURE RUNS, SEE
“FLUSHING AND PRIMING SETTINGS” OF
THE MAINTENANCE MENU.

5. Flush the spout with sanitizer solution, by
selecting the “Flushing Functions” section of
the Maintenance Menu. Press and hold the
FLUSH SPOUT button until the spout is
clear of syrup.
NOTE: THE FLUSH SPOUT FEATURE IS NOT
AVAILABLE ON FCB SYSTEMS.
6. If there is more than one cabinet installed
on this system, press the CHANGE
MACHINE button to access that machine’s
syrup lines.
View Serving Statistics
The Color Touch Panel records the serving
counts for each freezer it is connected to. It
also organizes those serving counts by flavors,
so that you can see which flavors have been
most popular and which have not been
requested as often. Within the syrup-usage
count, it further breaks down the flavor requests
by whether it was used in a single-flavor serving
or a multi-flavor serving. For example, Banana
may be more popular when used with other
flavors such as chocolate and banana, whereas
Butter Pecan may have more servings as a
single-flavor serving.
With this information, the operator can keep
track of how many servings are dispensed
since the date shown. The operator can better
predict what flavors he or she may need and
which ones to substitute out for a more popular
flavor. The operator may also notice a pattern
with the flavors being used for multi-flavored
servings, and which to create “recipes”, or pre-
programmed multi-flavored combinations so the
customers can more easily access their favorite
combinations.
1. Press the “View Serving Statistics” section
in the Maintenance Menu.
23
2. Total serving count, serving count by single
and multi-flavored servings, and serving
count according to the different flavors are
recorded on this screen. Scroll down to see
the syrup usage graph.
3. To reset the count, touch the RESET
COUNTER button in the top corner. All the
counter values will reset to “0” and the
date/time will reset to the current date and
time.
Enable or Disable Serving Options –
Dispense Time & Timed Serving Options
In the Enable or Disable Serving Options, the
operator can set serving-specific options.
This section covers only the first few options
relating to selection (or flavor) time and timed
serving features. The rest of the serving options
are detailed in the next section.
1. Press the “Enable or Disable Serving
Options” section in the Maintenance Menu.
2. “Dispense Time Per Selection” refers to the
amount of time in seconds that each flavor
will dispense in a multi-flavored serving. A
higher the number results in wider, more
distinct layers of flavors.
3. When the “Enabled Timed Servings” is set
to ON, the operator will be asked to select a
serving size when drawing a serving. The
system will shut off syrup flow at a specific
time during that serving based on the
serving size selected. A beep sounds when
this happens and the screen notifies the
operator to finish the serving. This option
helps keep consistent serving sizes and is
helpful in the self-service environment.
24
4. When “White Cap” is enabled with Timed
Servings, the system shuts off syrup flow at
a preset time before the serving is finished.
A beep will sound and the screen will notify
the operator to stop drawing product. The
time between when the syrup stops flowing
and that beep allows the spout to clear out
residual syrup flavor. This results in a
“white cap” of unflavored product on top of
the serving and is an effective way to
eliminate flavor carryover to the next
serving. The White Cap time is how long
the system dispenses the unflavored
product before the beep sounds.
NOTE: IF NO WHITE CAP IS DESIRED, SET
THE TIMING TO “0.0”
5. When the “Automatically Fit Selection Into
Serving Time” (or “Auto-Fit”) option is OFF,
the system can only fit a certain amount of
flavors into each serving, depending on how
long the serving dispenses and how long
each flavor is set to dispense. With
“Automatically Fit Selection” ON, the system
will squeeze in an extra flavor selection or
two into a serving by lowering the Dispense
Selection Time as low as the “Minimum
Dispense Time Per Serving”.
6. “Minimal Dispense Selection Time Per
Serving” option is only available when the
Auto-Fit is ON. This is the shortest amount
of time each flavor will dispense when the
Auto-Fit is active. It ensures that the Auto-
Fit doesn’t allow too many flavors in one
serving or make the dispense time of each
flavor too short, which would result in
blending flavors instead of layering them.
7. “Show Quick-Dispense Screen” places all of
your serving options on one screen. Not
recommended for self-service environment.
NOTE: FUNCTIONAL FOR 8-FLAVOR
SYSTEMS ONLY.
25
8. The following example and table below show how all of these settings affect the serving.
EXAMPLE SETTINGS:
Enable Timed Servings is set to ON.
Dispense Time for this particular serving size is
set to 5.8 seconds. This means the operator
draws the serving for 5.8 seconds. A beep then
sounds, the screen notifies the operator to stop
the serving. More information about this feature
and how to adjust the time is detailed in the next
section “Adjust Dispense Time Limits” of the
Maintenance Menu.
The White Cap Time is set to 1 seconds. This
means one second before the beep sounds
(after 4.8 seconds into the serving), the Flavor
Burst system will stop the flow of flavor and
dispense unflavored product for 1 second.
The Dispense Time Per Selection is set to 1.8
seconds in this example. This means each
flavor selected will dispense for 1.8 seconds,
unless Auto-Fit is enabled.
Automatically Fit Selections (Auto-Fit) is shown
OFF in the example’s first serving. With this
option OFF, the system will only dispense each
flavor at the full Dispense Select Time (1.8
seconds in this example); if there is not at least
1.8 seconds left after the first flavors, the Touch
Panel will not allow more flavors to be added.
Auto-Fit is shown ON in the rest of the example
servings to illustrate how more flavors can be
added and how the layers are adjusted to fit into
the serving.
Minimal Dispense Selection Time is set to 1.2
seconds in this example. This means that Auto-
Fit will only let enough flavors be selected to
produce no less than 1.2 seconds of each flavor.
EXAMPLE EXPLANATION:
In the first serving of this example, only 2 flavors
can be selected since there is not enough time
in the serving for a third flavor. Each of the two
flavors dispenses for 1.8 seconds. There is a
little bit of time (1.2 seconds) before the White
Cap kicks in, so the system dispense the first
flavor again for that short layer.
In the 2nd serving, Auto-Fit is enabled. If only
two flavors are selected, the serving will look just
like the first example. Auto-Fit allows a 3rd
flavor to be selected. It evenly divides the time
that syrup is dispensed into thirds, dispensing
each of the three flavors for 1.6 seconds.
In the 3rd serving, there is enough serving time
to allow a 4th flavor selected. Auto-Fit
decreases the selection dispense time even
further, so that each flavor dispenses for 1.2
seconds.
In this example, 5 flavors cannot be selected for
this serving size, since the Minimum Dispense
Time is set to 1.2 seconds. Splitting the
dispense time five ways would be less than 1.2
seconds for each flavor. If you wish to have a
5th flavor, you would need to decrease the
Minimum Dispense Time or increase your
serving size Dispense Time.

continued
1. Press the “Enable or Disable Serving
Options” section in the Maintenance Menu.
2. Currently, the “Enable Automatic
Dispensing Mode” is only available for FCB
systems with an Automatic Draw system
installed. This mode adds a TOUCH TO
DISPENSE button to the selection screen.
After the operator selects the desired
flavor(s), they touch this button and receive
detailed instructions on how to draw the
serving. Another button is displayed for
when they are ready to dispense.
The serving will automatically dispense until
the stop button is touched, or until the
serving size is reached.
3. Sets of flavors can be combined into one
custom recipe for faster selection. For
example, you can create a button for
Banana Split, which would automatically
select Chocolate, Banana and Strawberry.
“Display Predefined Recipes” creates a
USE RECIPE button on the flavor selection
screen, so the operator can select these
recipes. Recipes can be created and
adjusted in the “Edit Recipes” section of the
Maintenance Menu.
4. “Display Flush Button on Serving Screen”
will create a button named FLUSH SPOUT
on the main screen. This button allows the
operator to flush the spout with sanitizer
solution between servings. This clears out
residual product and reduced carry-over to
the next serving. The FLUSH SPOUT
button can also be found under the
“Flushing and Priming Settings” section.
The “Display ‘Flush Button’” option is not
recommended for the self-service
environment.
You can also adjust how long the spout
flushes when activated using the “Injector
Flush Time”. If the spout is not clearing
product during the flushing function,
increase the time.
NOTE: IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED THE
“FLUSH SPOUT” BUTTON BE ACTIVATED IN
SELF-SERVE ENVIRONMENTS. THOSE NOT
FAMILIAR WITH THE EQUIPMENT MAY
ACCIDENTLY ACTIVATE THE FLUSHING
FUNCTION WITHOUT REALIZING WHAT IT
DOES OR HAVE A CONTAINER TO CATCH
THE SANITIZER SOLUTION.
NOTE: THIS OPTION IS NOT AVAILABLE
FOR FCB SYSTEMS.
27
5. “Always Run Injector When Serving” option
allows the Flavor Burst motor and gears to
run even when syrup is not being dispensed
(such as when serving a vanilla cone). It is
required for CrunchiCreme systems, but it
can also be helpful to create a more
consistent serving experience between
flavored and unflavored servings.
NOTE: THIS OPTION IS NOT AVAILABLE
FOR FCB SYSTEMS.
6. “Injector Motor Speed” can be adjusted to
increase or decrease the motor speed.
NOTE: THIS OPTION IS NOT AVAILABLE
FOR FCB SYSTEMS.
7. “Show ‘vanilla-only’ button” option will
display a Vanilla Only text in the “Selected
Items” box on the left when no flavors are
selected. When flavors are selected, a
Vanilla Only button will appear under the
flavors. When touched, this button will clear
out the selected flavors, returning the
serving selection back to vanilla.
8. If your Color Touch Panel is set up for FCB,
a couple of FCB-specific options will be
displayed in this section.
9. If you wish your FCB system to clear the
spout of product at the end of each serving,
tap the “FCB Post-Dispense Syrup Purge”
option ON. The pump will push a small
burst of air at the end of the serving to clear
the spout. This will help reduce flavor
carry-over and dripping between servings.
NOTE: THE “FCB POST-DISPENSE SYRUP
PURGE” OPTION IS ONLY AVAILABLE WHEN
TIMED SERVING SIZES IS ACTIVATED AND
THE WHITE CAP OPTION IS USED.
10. If your FCB system has the Auto Draw
Valve Upgrade, tap the “Enable ‘Automatic
Dispensing’ Mode” option to ON.
28
Enter Calorie Information
The Color Touch Panel’s newest update has
the option to display calorie information per
serving. In this section, you will need to input
your base mix’s calorie information and the
volume of product per each serving size. Also,
if you are serving product in edible containers,
such as cones, waffle bowls, etc, you will need
to enter the calorie information of those items
as well. If you add product after the serving,
such as sprinkles, whipped cream, candy, etc,
the calorie information will also need to be
added in this section.
1. Press the “Enter Calorie Information”
section in the Maintenance Menu. Enable
the display of serving calories by sliding the
toggle button “ON”.
2. Using a timer, calculate how many seconds
it takes to draw the smallest serving size
and the largest serving size.
3. Take the large serving and place the
product in a measuring cup. When it has
completely melted, remove any foam and
measure the unfrozen product. Input that
volume measurement into the next section.
4. Find your base mix’s nutritional statement
and enter the calories per ounce/millileter of
unfrozen base mix into the next section.
5. If you are only serving product in cups or
inedible containers, enter 0 for “Container
Calories.”
6. If you are serving product in only one type
of container and it is edible, such as a cone,
enter the calorie count of that container in
the “Container Calories” line.
29
7. If you are offering additional toppings, such
as whipped cream, nuts, sprinkles, calculate
the total maximum calories from these
toppings that could possibly be added to
your largest serving. Put this amount in the
“Extra Calories” line. If you are not offering
additional toppings, enter 0.
NOTE: REFER TO THE PRODUCTS’
MANUFACTURERS NUTRITIONAL
INFORMATION TO CALCULATE THE
CALORIE COUNT OF THE EDIBLE
CONTAINERS AND ADDITIONAL TOPPINGS.
8. If Timed Servings is disabled and you are
serving product in multiple containers (such
as cups and sugar cones), enter the calorie
count for the container with the lowest
calories in the section “Container Calories.”
Enter 0 if one of the container options is a
cup.
Then, calculate the total maximum calories
from your highest-calorie edible container
(ie, chocolate dipped waffle bowl) plus any
additional toppings (whipped cream, candy,
sprinkles, nuts) that might be served with
your largest serving. Put this total in the
“Extra Calories” line.
NOTE: REFER TO THE PRODUCTS’
MANUFACTURERS NUTRITIONAL
INFORMATION TO CALCULATE THE
CALORIE COUNT OF THE EDIBLE
CONTAINERS AND ADDITIONAL TOPPINGS.
9. If Timed Servings is enabled, you will need
to fill in each container type’s calorie
information, and any additional calories that
could be added to the largest serving in
each container type.
NOTE: REFER TO THE PRODUCTS’
MANUFACTURERS NUTRITIONAL
INFORMATION TO CALCULATE THE
CALORIE COUNT OF EACH EDIBLE
CONTAINER.

Once the system is enabled to dispense flavors,
test each flavor to ensure they all dispense
properly and that the Injector/Blending
Assembly operates correctly. Draw several
servings choosing all the different options
available for your setup to verify the Color
Touch Panel settings are acceptable.
NOTE: EQUIPMENT AND PRODUCT
IMAGES MAY DIFFER FROM YOUR SETUP.
HOWEVER, THE INFORMATION AND
INSTRUCTIONS STILL APPLY.
1. Make your serving selections on the serving
screen(s).
2. AUTOMATIC DISPENSING MODE: If your
screen shows a TOUCH TO DISPENSE
button (typically only on FCB systems), tap
this button to dispense rather than using the
draw handle. Touch it again when you are
nearly finished serving.
3. MANUAL DRAW: Hold a container under
the spout to catch flavor product. Pull the
draw handle down to dispense product. If
you have the timed servings enabled, draw
the serving until the system sounds a beep
and the screen notifies you to stop drawing
product. Return the handle to the closed
position at the end of the serving.
NOTE: IF YOUR SYSTEM HAS A DRAW
HANDLE SWITCH, PRESS THE SWITCH
AGAINST THE DRAW HANDLE WHILE
MOVING THE DRAW HANDLE INTO THE
FULL “OPEN” POSITION. THIS ACTIVATES
THE FLOW OF SYRUP TO THE SPOUT.
NOTE: IF THE FREEZER IS EQUIPPED
WITH A DRAW HANDLE SWITCH, RELEASE
THE SWITCH ONE SECOND BEFORE
CLOSING THE SERVING. THIS WILL STOP
THE FLOW OF SYRUP WHILE GIVING THE
UNFLAVORED PRODUCT ENOUGH TIME TO
CLEAR THE INJECTOR HEAD OF EXTRA
FLAVORING AND REDUCE CARRYOVER.
NOTE: THE SYSTEM DISPENSES THE
FLAVORS IN THE ORDER THEY WERE
SELECTED. ALLOW ENOUGH TIME FOR
EACH OF THE FLAVORS TO CYCLE
THROUGH. IF THE SERVING IS CUT OFF
TOO SOON THE SYSTEM MAY NOT
DISPENSE ALL THE CHOSEN FLAVORS IN
YOUR SERVING.

4. Evaluate your serving for both appearance
and taste. Look and taste the serving to
ensure the syrup level is acceptable. Draw
servings of the other flavors to evaluate
their syrup dispensing levels.
NOTE: ADJUST THE DISPENSE SPEEDS OF
THE FLAVORS IN THE “SETUP TRAYS AND
DISPENSE SPEEDS” SECTION OF THE
MAINTENANCE MENU.
NOTE: YOU CAN ALSO ADJUST THE
FLAVOR STRENGTH IN A SERVING BY
SLOWING OR SPEEDING UP THE
FREEZER’S DRAW RATE.
5. If the timed servings setting is enabled,
draw different serving sizes and compare
them to see if the size of each serving is
what you expected.
NOTE: CHANGE THE SERVING SIZE TIMES
IN THE “ADJUST DISPENSE TIME LIMITS”
SECTION OF THE MAINTENANCE MENU.
6. If the white cap option is enabled, see if
syrup product has cleared the Injector
Head. Make sure there is not too much
unflavored product at the top of your
serving.
NOTE: ADJUST THE WHITE CAP TIME IN
THE “ENABLE OR DISABLE SERVING
OPTIONS” SECTION OF THE
MAINTENANCE MENU.
NOTE: THE WHITE CAP OPTION IS
ONLY AVAILABLE WHEN TIMED
SERVING SIZES IS ACTIVATED.
7. Draw multi-flavored servings to evaluate if
the layer timing is what you expected. A
shorter dispense time results in narrower
layers; a longer dispense time results in
wider layers. You can fit more flavor
selections in a serving with narrow layers,
however, the layers may blend together.
Wider layers will show a more distinct color
and flavor difference between layers, but
will have limitations on how many flavors
can be dispensed in one serving.
NOTE: ADJUST THE FLAVOR SELECTION
TIME IN THE “ENABLE OR DISABLE
SERVING OPTIONS” SECTION OF THE
MAINTENANCE MENU.
