Installation of Spinner/Mixer Accessory Kit (optional) (Part #W089.0053-115V) (Part # W0890124-220V)

1) Turn to "off" and unplug the freezer from the electrical power source.

Electrical box

2)Remove the white plastic plugs covering the threaded holes on the right front panel (facing the freezer).

3)Remove the electrical box cover.

4)Feed the spinner electrical wires through the 7/8” hole in the spinner mounting bracket.

5)Feed these wires up through the 1/4” x 1/2” hole in the right side bottom of the electrical box.

6)Secure the spinner to the front of the freezer with the long 1/4 x 20

	screws provided. (See Figure H)		Spinner mounting bracket
7)	Insert the screws through the front of the spinner bracket, then through		Spinner
	the spinner rear mounting bracket (making sure that the bracket flange		Figure H
	is toward the left facing toward the front of the freezer).	Mounting screws

8)See the spinner-wiring diagrams on pages 35 and 36 to locate spinner wire connections.

OPERATING & ADJUSTMENTS

How to Operate:

1)Sanitize unit following the cleaning instructions on page 11.

2)Fill hopper with product. Allow barrel to fill with product to the proper level, then install carb tube.

3)Turn power switch (toggle switch located underneath the electrical box) to "on" position.

4)Turn mode switch (rocker switch located next to power switch) to freeze position.

5)Allow product to freeze in barrel.

6)To dispense product pull down valve handle and release when done.

7)If product consistency is not as desired, adjust per the instructions on page 8.

Mix Considerations - General

Freezing characteristics are affected by the amount of sweeteners and solids in the mix, called BRIX. BRIX can be measured with an instrument called a refractometer. A BRIX reading of between 11 and 14 will provide optimum freezer operation. Mixes with this brix level will freeze down to a smooth, uniform consistency. Mixes with too high a brix level will take longer to freeze down and will yield a soft, wet, frozen product. Mixes with too low a brix level will have larger ice crystals and will have a tendency to dispense slowly. Note: Always take BRIX measurements using mix that has been thoroughly blended, before it is frozen. Always allow frozen mix to thaw thoroughly before taking a reading.

Alcohol content also affects product-freezing characteristics and may prevent the freezer from serving a product at proper thickness.

For maximum output capacity always pre-chill mix before adding it to the freezer. Pre-chilled mix gives the freezer a head start on the freezing process and will speed both initial freeze down and recovery time.
