Power Switch

The center position is OFF. The left position is WASH
which activates the beater motor only. The right
position is AUTO, which activates the beater m otor
and the refrigeration system.

Air Tube

The Model 161 is called upon to handle a large variety
of products (i.e., soft serve, yogurts, Italian ices,
sherbets, etc.). Thus, the consistency of the mix you
use will vary.T he air tube meters a combination of mix
and air into the freezing cylinder. If not enough mix
enters the freezing cylinder, a freeze-up may occur,
which will cause eventual damage to the beater.
Depending upon the product being run, you may wish
to contact your local authorized Taylor Distributor to
make a slight adjustment in the air tube.

Note: During AUTO operation, the orifice end of the
tube should be inserted in the hole in the hopper.

Taylor Quality Control

The Model 161 uses a solid state control called the
Watt Control. The purpose of this solid state cont rol is
to sense the viscosity (thickness) of t he product in the
freezing cylinder. With the power switch in the AUTO
position, the Watt Control will automatic ally keep the
mix in the freezing cylinder at the proper viscosity and
ready for serving.

Indicator Light -- Mix Low

A mix level indicating light is located at the front ofthe
machine. When the light is on, it indicates that the mix
hopper has a low supply of mix and should be r efilled
as soon as possible. Always maintain at least 2” (51
mm) of mix in the hopper. If you neglect to add mix, a
freeze-up may occur. This will cause event ual damage
to the beater assembly and to the freezer door.
