j7. On air cooled units, check the condenser(s) f or
accumulation of dirt and lint. Dirty condensers
will reduce the efficiency and capacity of the
machine. Condensers should be cleaned
monthly with a soft brush.
Note: For machines equipped with an air filter,
it will be necessary to vacuum clean the filters
on a monthly schedule.
Never use screwdrivers or other
metal probes to clean between the fins.
j8. On water cooled units, check the water lines for
kinks or leaks. Kinks can occur when the
machine is moved back and forth for cleaning or
maintenance purposes. Deteriorated or
cracked water lines should be replaced by an
authorized Taylor mechanic.

Winter Storage
If the place of business is to be closed during t he winter
months, it is important to protect the freezer by
following certain precautions, particularly if the
building is to be left unheated and subject to freezing
conditions.
Disconnect the freezer from the mainpower source to
prevent possible electrical damage.
On water cooled freezers, disconnect the water
supply. Relieve pressure on the spring in the water
valve. Use air pressure on the outlet side to blow out
any water remaining in the condenser. This is
extremelyimportant. Failure to follow this procedure
may cause severe and costly damage to the
refrigeration system.
Your local TaylorDistribut or can perform this service
for you.
Wrap the detachable parts of the freezer such as
beater,blades, dr ive shaft, and freezer door, and place
them in a protected, dry place. Rubber tr im parts and
gaskets can be protected by wrapping with
moisture- proof paper. All parts should be thoroughly
cleaned of dried mix or lubrication accumulations
which attract mice and other vermin.
