PRINTING YOUR DESIGNS
There are many variables that will affect the end result of your pancake designs
including batter consistency, pressure, cooking temperature, and cooking time.
We highly suggest you run some tests and have fun in the process to become
acquainted with how these variables work together. Feel free to check out our
video tutorials online at www.pancakebot.com for tips and tricks on how to use
your PancakeBot.
1. Turn the PancakeBot on by pressing the Power Button on the Control Panel.
2. Before printing your design, make sure the Griddle is turned on and hot. Start
by setting your Griddle to the Medium temperature setting. You may need to
decrease or increase the temperature depending on the complexity of your
design.
3. Lift the Bottle out of the Dispenser Holder, remove the Drip Cap, and return
the Bottle to the Holder. The Griddle will be HOT. Be very cautious while
removing the Drip Cap so you do not burn yourself on the Griddle.
4. Position the Dispenser Bottle in the print mode (the Dispenser Bottle Spine
should be place in the longest Height Adjustment Slot). If you are using a
taller griddle, you should use a shorter Height Adjustment Slot depending
on the height of your Griddle. For best results, the Nozzle tip should be
approximately 15mm away from surface of the Griddle.
5. Save a design on the SD card and insert it into the SD Card Slot (see pg. 16-18
for more instructions on creating and saving designs).
6. Press the START/PAUSE button once to initiate print mode.
7. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to select the le you want to print and
press the START/PAUSE button again to conrm your selection.
How to print your designs
Tip: If you nd that the PancakeBot is dispensing too much batter or the batter
is not dispensing in a straight line, this may mean that too much pressure has
accumulated inside the Dispenser Bottle. You can eliminate this problem by very
slightly unscrewing the Dispenser Bottle Fill Cap to release some of the pressure.
This can be done while the machine is in operation.
Standby Mode: The PancakeBot will go into Standby mode automatically after
being idle for more than 5 minutes (except if you have pressed the PAUSE button).
To turn back on, simply press the Power Button on the Control Panel.
WARNING: Do not overll the Dispenser Bottle or tilt the Dispenser Bottle while it
is connected to the Air Hose and the PancakeBot is turned on. If you see pancake
batter entering the Air Hose, disconnect the Hose from the Gantry and shut
the PancakeBot off immediately. Thoroughly clean and dry the Air Hose before
reconnecting.
