G.After about 6 to 10 minutes the freezer will shut OFF and the green lens will illuminate. The product is ready to serve. Freeze down time may be longer for some frozen diet dessert mixes. High ambient temperatures may extend freeze down time.

H.For normal dispensing, move the spigot handle fully open 60° (Fig. 15).

Figure 15. Dispensing Product

CAUTION REFRIGERATION IS AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED WHEN THE SPIGOT IS OPENED. CLOSE THE SPIGOT COMPLETELY AFTER DISPENS- ING.

I.The freezer is designed to dispense the product at a reasonable draw rate. If the freezer is overdrawn, the result is a soft product or a product that will not dispense at all. If this should occur, allow the freezer to run for approximately 30 seconds before dispensing additional product. After a while the operator will sense or feel when the freezer is beginning to fall behind, and will slow down on the rate of draw so as not to exceed the capacity.

J.Do not operate the freezer when the MIX LOW light is on or with less than 1-3/4 inches (4.4 cm) of mix in the hopper. Refill the hopper immediately.

3.5 MIX INFORMATION

Mix can vary considerably from one manufacturer to another. Differences in the amount of butter-fat content and quantity and quality of other ingredients have a direct bearing on the finished frozen product. A change in freezer performance that cannot be explained by a technical problem may be related to the mix.

Proper product serving temperature varies from one manufacturer's mix to another. Soft serve mixes should provide a satisfactory product in the 18° to 20°F (-7° to -6°C) range, shake mixes 24° to 28°F (-4° to -2°C).

When checking the temperature, stir the thermometer in the frozen product to read the true temperature.

Mix does not improve with age. Old mix, or mix that has been stored at too high temperature, can result in a finished product that is less than satisfactory from the appearanceandtastestandpoint.Toretardbacteriagrowth in dairy based mixes, the best storage temperature range is between 36° to 40°F (2.2° to 4.4°C).

Some products tend to foam more than others. If excess foam should occur, skim off with a sanitized utensil and discard. Periodically, stir the mix in the hopper with a sanitized utensil.

3.6 REMOVING MIX FROM FREEZER

To remove the mix from the freezer, refer to the following steps:

A.Remove the mix inlet regulator from the hopper by pulling straight up (Fig. 16).

Figure 16. Removing Mix Inlet Regulator

B.Place the OFF-ON rocker switch in the ON position and push the CLEAN switch to rotate the auger. Allow the mix to agitate in freezer barrel until the mix has become a liquid, about 5 minutes.

C.Drain the liquid mix by opening the spigot. A bucket or container should be placed under the spigot to catch the liquid mix. (Fig. 17).

D.Place the OFF-ON switch in the OFF position.
