D.Fill hopper with approximately 3 gallons (11.4 liters) of prechilled (40°F or 4°C) mix.

CAUTION

DO NOT OVERFILL THE HOPPER. MIX LEVEL MUST NOTBEHIGHERTHAN2INCHES(5CM)FROMTHETOP OF THE AIR INLET TUBE ON THE MIX INLET REGULA- TOR.

E.The freezer barrel will automatically fill until it is about 1/2 full. If freezer barrel does not fill, check for obstruction in the mix inlet regulator. If freezer barrel fills over 1/2 full, indicated by low overrun, check for leaks at the mix inlet regulator O-ring or check if the mix inlet regulator was installed correctly or that the freezer is level.

F.Place the OFF-ON switch in the ON position, then press the PUSH TO FREEZE swtich until the freezer starts.

NOTE

After the gearmotor starts, there is a 3 second delay before the compressor starts.

G.After about 6 to 10 minutes the freezer will shut off and the green lens will illuminate. 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

CAUTION

REFRIGERATION IS AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED WHEN THE SPIGOT IS OPENED. CLOSE THE SPIGOT COMPLETELYAFTER DISPENSING.

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.

J.Do not operate the freezer when the MIX LOW light is on 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 mode sometimes referred to as a sleep or energy conservation mode. When the freezer is not used, after a preset time, it will enter the standby mode and remain there until someone draws a product or pushes the push-to-freeze switch. In the standby mode, the freezer will keep the product below 45°F. Standby modes are not to be used in place of cleaning and sanitizing. Frequency of cleaning and sanitizing is determined by Fed- eral, 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.
