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.

NOTE

The freezer has standby and sleep modes. When the freezer is not used, after a preset number of freezing cycles, it will enter the standby mode (fol- lowed by sleep mode) and remain there until some- one draws a product or presses the PUSH TO FREEZE button. In the sleep mode, the freezer will keep the product below 41°F (5°C). Sleep modes are not to be used in place of cleaning and sanitiz- ing. Frequency of cleaning and sanitizing is deter- mined by Federal, State, and local regulatory agen- cies.

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.

Proper product serving temperature varies from one manufacturer’s mix to another. Soft serve mixes generally provide satisfactory product from 18° to 20°F (-7° to -6°C), 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.

Old mix or mix that has been stored at elevated tempera- tures will produce poor-quality product with a bad taste and unacceptable 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 foam appears in the hopper, skim off with a sanitized utensil and discard. Periodically, stir the mix in the hopper with a sanitized utensil to help prevent excess foam.

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.

B.Press the CLEAN button 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.

D.Place the Main Freezer Power OFF-ON switch in the OFF position.

3.7 CLEANING THE FREEZER

NOTE

The frequency of cleaning the freezer and freezer parts must comply with local health regulations.

After the mix has been removed from the freezer, the freezer must be cleaned. To clean the freezer, refer to the following steps:

A.Fill the hopper with 2 gallons (7.5 liters) of tap water.

B.Place the Main Freezer Power OFF-ON switch in the ON position and press the CLEAN switch. The auger will start to rotate.

C.Allow the water to agitate for approximately 30 seconds.

NOTE

If freezer is left in CLEAN for more than 20 minutes, the display will show an error code. To reset, place the Main Freezer Power OFF-ON switch in the OFF position and back in the ON position.

D.Open the spigot to drain the water. Remember to place a container under the spigot to catch the water. When the water has drained, place the switch in the OFF position. Allow the freezing cylinder to drain completely.

E.Prepare detergent water by mixing 2 oz. of Palmolive detergent or equivalent in 2 gallons of 90° to 110°F (32° to 43°C) water. Repeat steps A through D using the detergent solution.

3.8 DISASSEMBLY OF FREEZER PARTS

CAUTION

Hazardous Moving Parts

Revolving auger shaft can grab and cause injury. Place the Main Freezer Power OFF-ON switch in the OFF position before disassembling for cleaning or servicing.

Inspection for worn or broken parts should be made each time the freezer is disassembled. All worn or broken parts should be replaced to ensure safety to both the operator and the customer and to maintain good freezer perfor- mance and a quality product. Check the wear line on the auger flights on a regular basis (Fig. 3-6) and replace as needed. Frequency of cleaning must comply with the local health regulations.
