Recipes can be adjusted in this menu. Be careful doing this and make sure you have enough knowledge. It is possible to restore the recipes to factory settings but then all changes to recipes will be lost.
Each recipe consists of 2 parts:
- PART 1: recipe parameters | this part consists of 2 consecutive ‘pages’ on screen
- PART 2: recipe lines | this part consists of 3 consecutive ‘pages’ on screen
Part 1: Recipe Parameters
The following recipe parameters are entered in the first part.
General
| IDENTIFYING THE RECIPE
On the top of the screen, recipe and recipe name are displayed. This remains so throughout the execution of the process.

Recipe parameters (part 1) page 1:
| TEMP MIN
This is the minimum temperature, expressed in 1/10 °C, which the placed pitcher needs for Perfect Moose to automatically start this recipe.
ATTENTION temperature is measured on the outside of the pitcher by the infrared thermometer (the Moose Eye) ! Make sure the handle of the pitcher or anything else is never blocking the Moose Eye. Otherwise temperature measurements and thus recipe will not be correct
|
| TEMP MAX
This is the maximum temperature, expressed in 1/10 °C, the placed pitcher can be for Perfect Moose to automatically start this recipe.
|
| VOL MIN
This is the minimum amount of liquid, expressed in ml, the placed pitcher must hold for Perfect Moose to automatically start this recipe
ATTENTION Changing this parameter also has an influence on the commands MU, MD, WP and MP used in the recipe lines: see following paragraphs.
|
| VOL MAX
This is the maximum amount of liquid, expressed in ml, the placed pitcher may hold for Perfect Moose to automatically start this recipe
|
Recipe parameters (Part 1) page 2:
| SG
This is the specific gravity of the liquid for this recipe, expressed in g/l.
|
| DIP
This is the depth of the lowest point of the steam pipe under surface of the liquid, expressed in 1/10 mm, at which steam will start to be injected.
|
| VOLUME CORRECTION
This is the amount of liquid subtracted from the maximum volume depending on the extra temperature selected in a recipe. This parameter is proportional and depends on the amount of liquid and the set extra temperature. Default values : S=20 M=40 L=60 XL=0 |
| PURGE TIME
This is the minimum amount of time of the purge measured in tenths of a second.
ATTENTION Purge Time may not be set higher than machine purge time (see further in this manual) in the adaptive purge system.
The purge time may be set no lower than 11.
[Default value = 11]

Part 2: Recipe Lines
The second part of a recipe consists of three pages of recipe lines (= maximum 15 lines)
Recipe lines (Part 2) pages 1-2-3:

NOTE | STEAMPIPE MOVEMENTS
At the start of each recipe, the steam pipe is lowered automatically. This is a step which never has to be included separately in a recipe. The desired depth of the steam pipe below the liquid surface however can be set (see recipe parameter in the first part of the recipe).
After that first step, all recipe commands are executed in the order they were inputted.
-
At the end of each recipe the steam pipe moves automatically back up to the level of the top switch. The steam cycle is then done.
The flush function after each cycle can be disabled if desired, but this is not linked to the recipe (this is set in the machine parameters).
COMMAND VALUES XXX VALUES YYY
| COMMANDS – GENERAL SET UP
|
RECIPE LINES – AVAILBLE COMMANDS
| SO | STEAM OPEN Open steam valve(s) to steam pipe
Use this command to open steam valves 1 and/or 2 which direct steam to the steam pipe.
General structure of this command: SO xx yyy
Value 1 = open valve 1 Value 2 = open valve 2 Value 12 = open both valves
Leave this value at 000
|
| SC | STEAM CLOSE Close steam valve(s) to steam pipe
Use this command to close steam valves 1 and/or 2 which direct steam to the steam pipe.
General structure of this command: SC xx yyy
Value 1 = close valve 1 Value 2 = close valve 2 Value 12 = close both valves
Leave this value at 000
|
| WA | WAIT Wait for time and temperature
Use this command in the recipe to wait until a time has passed or a temperature has been reached.
Whichever of these two parameters is reached first causes the wait command to stop, after which it proceeds to the following recipe line.
General structure of this command: WA xxx yyy
This value represents the time for a timer in 0.1 s. When this time has elapsed, the wait command is terminated.
This value represents the temperature in 0.1 °C When this temperature is reached, the wait command is terminated.
|
| MU | MOVE UP (PROPORTIONAL) Proportional upwards movement of the steam pipe
Use this command to move the steam pipe upwards by a distance proportional to the weight of the liquid.
General structure of this command:
MU xxx yyy
This value represents the distance of upward movement, expressed in 0.1 mm, in case the amount of liquid matches the minimum amount of liquid as given in the recipe parameter (in the first part of the recipe.)
For higher levels the distance of upward movement will be proportionally greater.
Example: with xxx = 100 and the amount of liquid is 120 ml, the steam pipe will move up by 10 mm. If there is 180 ml of liquid, the upward movement will be 15 mm.
This value represents the time, expressed in tenths of a second, in which the upward movement should be made. That way the speed of movement can also be set.
ATTENTION When choosing the yyy parameter, make sure the temperature thresholds used in any subsequent step of the recipe will not yet have been reached after this time parameter elapses (for any given starting volume and starting temperature permitted in this recipe).
|
| MD | MOVE DOWN (PROPORTIONAL) Proportional downwards movement of the steam pipe
Use this command to move the steam pipe downwards by a distance proportional to the weight of the liquid.
General structure of this command:
MD xxx yyy
This value represents the distance of downward movement, expressed in 0.1 mm, where the amount of liquid matches the minimum amount of liquid as given in the recipe parameter in the first part of the recipe.
For higher levels, the distance of downward movement will be proportionally greater.
Example: with xxx = 100 and the minimum amount of liquid is 120 ml, the steam pipe will move down by 10 mm. If there is 180 ml of liquid, the downward movement will be 15 mm.
ATTENTION when choosing the xxx parameter:
Make sure the end position of the steam pipe is not that low that the steam injector can come into contact with the bottom of the pitcher (for any starting volume permitted in this recipe).
This value represents the time, expressed in tenths of a second, in which the downward move should be made. That way the speed of movement can also be set.
ATTENTION when choosing the yyy parameter:
Make sure that temperature thresholds used in any subsequent recipe steps are not yet reached after this time parameter elapses (for any given starting volume and starting temperature permitted in this recipe).
|
| M+ | MOVE UP (ABOSLUTE) Absolute upward movement of the steam pipe
Use this command to move the steam pipe upwards by a fixed distance.
General structure of this command: M+ xxx yyy
This value represents the distance of upward movement in 0.1 mm increments.
This value gives the time, expressed in tenths of a second, in which the upwards move should be made. That way the speed of movement can also be set.
ATTENTION when choosing the yyy parameter:
When choosing the yyy parameter make sure that temperature thresholds used in any subsequent recipe steps will not yet have been reached after this time parameter elapses (for any given starting volume and starting temperature permitted in this recipe).
|
| M- | MOVE DOWN (ABSOLUTE) Absolute downward movement of the steam pipe
Use this command to move the steam pipe down by a fixed distance.
General structure of this command:
M- xxx yyy
This value represents the distance of downward movement in 0.1 mm increments.
ATTENTION when choosing the xxx parameter
When choosing the xxx parameter it should be ensured that the end position of the steam pipe is not that low that the steam injector comes into contact with the bottom of the pitcher (for any starting volume permitted in this recipe).
This value represents the time, expressed in tenths of a second, in which the downward move should be made. That way the speed of movement can also be set.
ATTENTION when choosing the yyy parameter
When choosing the yyy parameter it should be ensured that temperature thresholds used in any subsequent recipe steps will not yet have been reached after this time parameter elapses (for any given starting volume and starting temperature permitted in this recipe).

| MP | MOVEMENT PARAMETER software version V05.306 onwards Movement Parameter
This command affects the MU and MD (proportional movement) commands and must be placed in a recipe line before the MU or MD command to which it applies.
By default, the MU and MD commands have a proportionality of 1. This means that the movement applicable to a quantity of liquid, eg 2 times the minimum quantity required by the recipe, will also be 2 times the distance given in the first parameter of the proportional movement command.
The MP function can be used to increase or decrease this proportionality by a factor xxx.
General structure of this command: MP xxx yyy
This value is multiplied internally by 0.01. That means that a value xxx = 100 gives 1 and will thus set the proportionality for movement at 1.
Example: xxx = 200 gives a proportionality of 2. This means that for a quantity of liquid which is for example 1.5 times the minimum quantity allowed (recipe parameter), the movement will be 1.5 x 2 = 3 times as large as that given in the movement parameter of the relevant MU or MD command.
This parameter is not used and can just be left at 0.
|
| WP | WAIT PARAMETER software version V05.306 onwards Wait parameter (WP command)
This command affects the WA command (wait for a set time or until reaching a set temperature) and must be placed in a recipe before the WA command to which it applies.
By default, the WA command halts as soon as the external temperature of the pitcher has reached the temperature parameter of the WA command.
Although the internal temperature in the pitcher (= the temperature of the liquid) is always higher than the temperature measured on the outer surface of the pitcher, the external temperature lags behind the internal temperature. The more liquid there is in the pitcher, the less the lag is.
The xxx parameter of this command can be used to balance out this different lag rate to compensate for the quantity of fluid.
General structure of this command:
WP xxx yyy
This value is multiplied internally by 0.1 °C.
Example: a value xxx = 100 results in 10 °C and will be added to the temperature of the WA command in proportion with the quantity of liquid if there is more liquid than the minimum permitted quantity for that recipe (see parameter “Vol min” on the first page of the recipe) in the pitcher.
For a minimum volume of 120 and an actual quantity of liquid of 240 (twice the minimum permitted quantity) the WA command will then use as temperature parameter an external pitcher temperature 10°C higher than the temperature parameter indicated in the WA command.
The WA command stops at the temperature set in the WA temperature parameter if there is exactly as much liquid in the pitcher as the minimum quantity.
This parameter is a control value which shows whether the power provided by the steam pipe is adequate.
This value varies by recipe (different pitcher sizes have different heat uptake for the pitcher itself, etc.)
If the value = 0 no check is performed. If the value > 0 it is compared with the calculated value using a special formula.
If the calculated value is smaller than the parameter, an audible alarm sounds. If the value is larger than or equal to the parameter nothing happens.
In all cases the calculated value for each cycle is exported to the microSD card.
