NOTE

The United Sates 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 spigot “O” Rings onto parts dry, without lubrication. Then apply a thin film of sanitary lubrication to exposed surfaces of the “O” Rings.

B.Assemble the rear seal assembly onto the agitator. Be sure the “O” Ring is in place before installing the rear seal. Do not lubricate.

C.Lubricate the agitator drive (rear) with a small amount of white socket lubricant. A small container of socket lubricant is shipped with the freezer.

D.Install the two plastic agitator blades onto the agitator. Install front agitator bearing to the door.

E.Push the auger into the freezer barrel and rotate slowly until the agitator engages the drive socket.

F.Install the spigot body with “O” Rings into the front door from the bottom. Push straight up until the spigot is in place. Place the spigot handle into the spigot and insert the retainer pin.

G.Install door “O” Ring after lubricating.

H.Install the front door on the freezer.

I.Install the knobs on the freezer studs.

CAUTION

FINGER TIGHTEN THE KNOBS EVENLY. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN KNOBS.

Look for the proper seal between the freezer barrel door, “O” Ring, and front door.

J.Install hose adaptor onto hopper cover and secure with retainer clip (SO318 only). Figure 8.

Figure 8. Retainer Clip

K.Install hopper cover.

L.Connect mix hose to hopper cover (Model SO318 only).

3.7 SANITIZING

Sanitizing must be done after the freezer is clean and just before filling with mix. Sanitizing the night before is not effective. However, you should always clean the freezer and parts after using it.

WARNING

THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION REQUIRE THAT ALL CLEANINGAND SANITIZING SOLUTIONS USED WITH FOOD PROCESSING EQUIPMENT BE CERTIFIED FOR THIS USE. USE “STERA-SHEEN” OR EQUIVALENT.

When sanitizing the freezer, refer to local sanitary regulations for applicable codes and recommended sanitizing products and procedures. The frequency of sanitizing must comply with local health regulations. Mix sanitizer according to manufacturer’s instructions to provide a 100 parts per million strength solution. Mix sanitizer in quantities of no less than 2 gallons (7.5 liters) of 120°F water. Allow sanitizer to contact the surfaces to be sanitized for 5 minutes. Any sanitizer must be used only in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

NOTE

Stoelting, Inc. has found that STERA-SHEEN GREEN LABEL SANITIZER AND CLEANER does an effective job of properly sanitizing and cleaning a soft serve freezer. We therefore include a sample with each new freezer. For further information read the directions on the packet. Other products may be as effective.

CAUTION

PROLONGED CONTACT OF SANITIZER WITH FREEZER MAY CAUSE CORROSION OF STAINLESS STEEL PARTS.

In general, sanitizing may be conducted as follows:

A.SO218: Prepare 4 gallons (15 liters) of sanitizing solution following manufacturers instructions, then pour into hopper, brush hopper walls, and inside of hopper cover.

SO318: Pour sanitizing solution into the mix con- tainer, brush mix container, draw tube and pick up hose. Pump sanitizer from mix containers into the freezer hopper. Brush hopper walls, hopper cover, hose adapter and retaining clip.

B.Place the CLEAN/OFF/SERVE switch in the CLEAN position. Check for leaks around the front door seal.

C.After five minutes, open spigot to drain sanitizing solution. When solution has drained, place the CLEAN/OFF/SERVE switch in the OFF position. Allow the freezer barrel to drain completely.
