G.After about 6 to 10 minutes the freezer will shut off and the "SERVE" message will display on the LCD panel. The product will be 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 (Fig. 15).

Figure 15. Dispensing Product

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 dispens- ing 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. Spigot Rate Adjusters are located under the Header Panel, to the immediate right of each Spigot Handle. Turning the Spigot Rate Adjuster counterclockwise will decrease the dispense rate.

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

NOTE

The freezer has a standby and sleep mode. When the freezer is not used, after a preset number of freezing cycles, it will enter the standby mode (followed by sleep mode) and remain there until someone draws a product or pushes the push-to- freeze switch. In the sleep mode, the freezer will keep the product below 45°F (7.2°C). Sleep modes are not to be used in place of cleaning and sani- tizing. Frequency of cleaning and sanitizing is determined by Federal, State, and local regulatory agencies.

3.5 MIX INFORMATION

Mix can vary considerably from one manufacturer to another. Differences in the amount of butterfat 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.

When changing from one type of mix to another such as yogurt to Vitari, you may have to change the mix inlet regulator and/or control settings. Please call your distributor for further information.

Proper product serving temperature varies from one manufacturer’s mix to another. Mixes should provide a satisfactory product in the 18° to 20°F (-7° to -6°C) range.

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 a temperature, can result in a finished product that is less than satisfactory in taste and appearance. To retard bacteria growth 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 the foam off with a sanitized utensil and discard. Periodically, stir the mix in the hopper with a sanitized utensil.

3.6 REMOVING MIX FROM THE 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).
