3.7CLEANINGTHEFREEZER

CAUTION

Risk of Product Damage

Do not use acid cleaners, strong caustic compounds or abrasive materials to clean any part of the freezer exterior or plastic parts.

The exterior should be kept clean at all times to preserve the lustre of the stainless steel. A good grade of stainless steel has been used on the freezer to ease clean-up. To remove spilled or dried mix, simply wash the exterior in 90° to 110°F (32°C to 43°C) , soapy water and wipe dry.

Do not use highly abrasive materials as they will mar the finish. A mild alkaline cleaner is recom- mended. Use a soft cloth or sponge to apply the cleaner. For best results, wipe in the direction of the grain of the steel.

A.Clean the rear seal surface from inside of the freezer barrel.

B.Using this sanitizing solution and the large barrel brush provided, sanitize the barrel by dipping the brush in the sanitizing solution and brushing the inside of the barrel.

C.Remove the rear drip tray by pulling from side panel. Clean and replace drip tray.

3.8ASSEMBLINGFREEZER

To assemble the freezer parts, refer to the following steps:

NOTICE

Petro-Gel sanitary lubricant or equivalent must be used when lubrication of freezer parts is specified.

NOTICE

The United States Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration require that lubricants used on food processing equipment be certified for this use. Use Lubricants only in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

A.Assemble all O-rings onto parts dry, without lubri- cation. Then apply a thin film of sanitary lubrication to exposed surfaces of the O-rings.

B.Lubricate rear seal area on auger shaft with a thin layer of sanitary lubricant. Install the rear seal O-ring. Lubricate outside of rear seal O-ring with sanitary lubricant.

C.Install stainless steel rear seal adapter into rear seal dry (without lubricant). Lubricate inside surface of rear seal adapter and install onto auger shaft. DO NOT lubricate outside of rear auger seal (see Figure 16).

Figure 16. Rear Seal Lubrciation

C.Lubricate the hex drive end of auger with a small amount of white socket lubricant. A small container of socket lubricant is shipped with the freezer.

D.Screw the springs onto the studs in plastic flights.

Spring must be screwed into the flights com- pletely to provide proper tension (see Figure 17).

Figure 17. Spring Installation

E.Install first flights to bottom of auger, rotate, add successive flights from bottom as the auger is pushed slowly into the freezer barrel. Carefully engage auger with drive socket in speed reducer by rotating auger slowly and pushing on end of auger.

F.Apply a thin film of sanitary lubricant to the inside and outside of the front auger support bearing, then place on the front of the auger. Assemble the front auger support onto the auger bearing.

NOTICE

Position the front support on auger so legs do not interfere with the pin on the back of the front door assembly. Front door must push auger in slightly when it is being tightened to prevent the rear seal from leaking.
