Water
inlet
WARNING
IThermic exchange fluid is not toxic if swallowed, but it is advisable to anyway handle it
with care. Do NOT touch with bare hands!
In case of contact with eyes, wash with water abundantly.
Do not dispose of it in the drains directly.
Keep it out of children.
3.2 CONNECTING MACHINES WITH
WATERCOOLED CONDENSER TO WATERMAIN
A watercooled machine can run when only con-
necting it to running water supply or to a cooling
tower.
Water inlet must have a pressure 100 to 800kPa (1 to
8 bar) and a delivery at least equal to the estimated
hourly consumption .
Connect inlet pipe which is marked by the plate
"Entrata Acqua" (Water inlet) to water supply,
installing a shut-off valve, and the outlet pipe which
is marked by the plate "UscitaAcqua" (Water Out)
to a drain pipe, installing a shut-off valve.
Water connections (for gas cooling) are to be found
on rear panels.
NOTE:
We recommend to use rubberized canvas pipes having working pressure up to 800kPa (8bar).
CAUTION
Do not leave the machine in a room with temperature below 0°C without first draining
water from the condenser (see Sect. 7).
3.2.1 Water valve adjustment
IMPORTANT:
The water valve can be reached by removing the rear pane
A possible resetting of water valve must be carried out by skilled personnel, only.
Water valve adjustment must be carried out in such a way that no water flows when the machine
is off and lukewarm water flows when the machine is on.
NOTE:
Water consumption increases if temperature of entering water is above 20°C.
3.3 CHARGING THE THERMIC EXCHANGE FLUID
A thermal exchange fluid is introduced to transmit the cold between the evaporator coil of the
refrigeration installation and the rotating whipping chamber. This thermal exchange fluid is a
mono-propylene glycol inhibitor. This fluid must be diluted in a 50% volume with water. It is
advisabletoalways use the same type of product that has beentestedbyCATTABRIGA to ensure
the safety of the machine, its components and the conformity to the machine’s food norms.
To introduce the special thermal exchange fluid contained in the appropriate container into the
machine, the whipping chamber must be disassembled following the instructions reported in
section 6. Ensure that the front drain plug is in place. The level of fluid necessary is indicated
inside the chamber by a mark highlighted on the evaporator coil (refer to the following figure)
and must arrive underneath the evaporator coil fixing plate.
Place the whipping chamber into its housing and push it downwards. If the thermal exchange
fluid is excessive, it will flow over from the overflow hole dropping into the appropriate oil-drip
drawer positioned on the front of the machine.

3.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before connecting the machine to the mains, check that its characteristics agree with indications
on machine data plate. Insert a magnetothermal protection switch with minimum contact opening
of 3 mm and rated voltage at least equal to the one indicated on data plate (by fuse link symbo “
”). The number of poles of sectioning switch must be equal to the number of phases plus
neutral wire (N), when provided. By threephased systems neutral wire (N) MUST ALWAYS be
connected to the blue cable of machine power supply.
For better protecting the operator, sectioning switch should be a differential releas coil type and
with a max 30 A differential current.
WARNING
The machine is provided with an electric power cable including a Yellow/Green cable
which MUST be connected to a good earth plate of the electric system.
WARNING
Earth connection and the differential magnetothermal switch are of main importance
to operator's safety and they guarantee protection in case of earth faults by the electric
isolation of equipment inside the machines.
CAUTION
Disconnect the main switch when you do not use the machine in order to avoid any
possible damages caused by flashovers, thunderbolts, etc.
3.4.1 Replacing a cable
If the machine main cable is damaged, it must be immediately replaced with a similar one.
Replacement will have to be carried out by skilled personnel, only.
Direction of Rotation
The ice cream machine rotates in a clockwise direction.
Reversal of rotation direction
If the rotation direction must be reversed (by three-phased machine, only) , so interchange two of
the three leads coming from the circuit breaker. Check then rotation direction again.
3.5 CLEANOUT
Eliminate dust from the machine, as well as the protective material the machine was strewed
with.
Use just water and, if need be, add a mild soap-based detergent with a soft cloth.
ATTENTION
Do not use either solvents or alcohol and detergents that may damage the machine parts
or contaminate parts coming into contact with the product.
3.6 REFILLING
Motor installed in the machine is of the type with lubrication for life; no checking/replacing or
topping up is necessary.
Gas filling necessary to the freezing system is carried out at CATTABRIGA works during the
machine postproduction testing .
If a gas addition happens to be made, this must be carried out by skilled technicans, only, who
can also find out trouble origin.
When installing the machine, fillit with thermic exchange fluid accordingto the quantity described
in chapter 3.3.
3.7 MACHINE TESTING
A postproduction test of the machine is carried out at CATTABRIGA premises; operation and
output functionalities of the machine are thoroughly tested.
Machine test at end user's must be carried out by skilled technicians or by one of CATTABRIGA
engineers.
After the correct machine installation and connections, all operations necessary to functional
check and test of the machine are to be carried out.

Regulate the temperature by adjusting the thermostat between the values
including -20°C and -23°C. For a good ice-cream consistency, our advice
is to keep temperature setting between -20 °C and -23 °C, because lower
temperatures may cause strong vibrations to the freezer and damage moving
spatula and related movements.
NOTE: do not push PROG button on temperature regulation, as it gives
access to programming table steps which are not to be used by customer.
