How do I operate the SA-21 PieMaster ?
To begin the operations, the hopper over the top of the moldset is filled with filling ingredients. A piece of dough is placed onto the waiting moldset and then the two start buttons are depressed simultaneously. This begins the filling and folding cycle. Five (six on some model variations) timers come standard with the Model SA-21 PieMaster . Each timer controls special valves and switches that operate the fill system and turnover systems.
