C.Place the mix pump switch in the ON position. The mix pump switch is located in the upper left hand corner, inside the refrigerated cabinet. Immediately open the spigot and let approximately 8 ounces of liquid mix with sanitizing solution drain out of the spigot.

D.Close the spigot and open the air bleed valve on the front door by pushing the valve in and holding. Allow the barrel to fill until the mix level is 1/2" (2.7 cm) below air bleed valve, then release valve and pull closed to lock in place.

E.Start the compressor and drive by placing the CLEAN-OFF-SERVE switch in the SERVE position

F.The product will be ready to serve after the compres- sor and drive have cycled off, or in approximately

12 minutes.

G.The refrigeration is automatically actuated when the spigot is opened. For normal dispensing, open the spigot no more then 90°. (This is when the handle knob is pointed directly away from the front door.). This position provides excellent control over the product and aids in making desired shaped portions. Spigot Rate Adjusters are located under the Header Panel, to the immediate right of each Spigot Handle. Turning the Spigot Rate Adjuster clockwise will increase the dispense rate.

(see Figure 22)

The freezer is designed to dispense the product at a reasonable draw rate. If the freezer is overdrawn, the result will be a soft product and air pops. If this should occur, allow the freezer to run for approximately 30 seconds before dispensing 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 freezer's capacity.

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

mix container. Refill the mix container immediately.

3.11 MIX INFORMATION

Mix can vary considerably from one manufacturer to another. Differences in the amount of butter-fat 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. Mixes should provide a satisfactory product in the 17° to 20°F (-7° to -6°C) range. Diet and low-carb mixes typically freeze to proper consistency at higher temperatures.

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 from the appearanceandtastestandpoint.Toretardbacteriagrowth in dairy based mixes, the best storage temperature range is between 36° to 40°F (2.2° to 4.4° C).
