Before Using for the First Time
1. Carefully unpack the MILKchiller™ from the box.

3. Remove all the packing material including the white wrappers
protecting the stainless steel components.
4. Make sure the MILKchiller™ is unplugged and the power switch
is in the OFF position.
5. Wipe exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly with a
soft cloth. DO NOT use harsh or abrasive cleansers as these can
damage the exterior surfaces.
CAUTION: Do not immerse the power supply, the cord, or the
appliance in water or any other liquid.

The MILKchiller™ is now ready for use.
Plug the power supply connector into the Power Input on the
MILKchiller™ control panel. Connect the power supply to the power
cord and plug it into the wall outlet. Set the Power Switch to ON.
Upon start up, the LCD will alternately flash COOLING, LOW and
WHOLE until the MILKchiller™ has reached the safety standard
temperature. (The “LOW” message will disappear when the full carton
or container is inserted into the chilling chamber.)
When it has reached the safety standard temperature, the LCD will
display the default setting “WHOLE”.
For more information on the setting display, please see the section
DISPLAY SETTINGS and CONTROL PANEL FUNCTIONS.

Fine Tuning the Low Level Indicator
1. Locate the calibration screw on
the underside of the MilkChiller™
just behind the drip tray.
2. Fill a container 1/4 full or more with liquid.
This is the approximate amount of dairy product
remaining in the container when the LOW indicator
flashes on the display.
Place container in the MilkChiller™ and close the lid.
3. Place the MilkChiller™ on a flat
surface that will provide access to the
calibration screw. We suggest using an
inside corner of a counter, or pushing two
tables together leaving 2 inches between
them for access to the screw.
4. Using a flathead screwdriver, SLOWLY
adjust screw on the bottom in a clockwise
manner just until the LOW indicator is
flashing.
5. Further adjust the screw ½ turn to
complete the calibration.
The Low Level Indicator has been calibrated
to trigger at approximately 18 ounces, 1/4 of
a carton. This is the minimum amount of
liquid remaining in the carton when the LOW
indicator flashes. The Low Level Indication
can be adjusted to trigger for more liquid
remaining in the carton if desired.
If, after time, the LOW indicator does not
flash at the desired liquid level, readjust the
calibration screw as outlined above.

MAX Fill Line.
3. Screw on lid.
4. Insert Disposable Straw for Plastic into
opening in lid orienting the holes front to back
as shown.
5. Press straw cap into opening for a tight fit.
How To Insert Disposable Straw into
Paper Half Gallon Container:
1. Unscrew the cap and remove the inner seal on
the pour spout.
2. Insert the Disposable Straw for Paper into the

* Some dairy factories fill plastic containers to
the top. This overfilling can cause some liquid to
spill when the container is inserted into the chilling
chamber. Therefore we recommend pouring out
some liquid before inserting the straw.
If the Disposable Straw cap does not fit into the pour spout on the
container, please use the MILKchiller™ Refillable Container.
The MILKchiller™ can now be loaded with a ½ gallon paper carton or the
MILKchiller™ Refillable Container filled with dairy product.
It is required to refrigerate all dairy products prior to use in the MILKchiller™.
If using shelf stable milk, the MILKchiller™ will not operate until the milk has
cooled to the safe temperature specification.

Troubleshooting
The MILKchiller™ is plugged
in, however, the display is
blank.
Make sure the cord is securely plugged into
the power supply and the Power Switch is in
the ON position.
The MILKchiller™ is plugged
in and the Switch is in the ON
position and the display is
blank.
Call the MILKchiller™ HOTLINE for
service.
If the MILKchiller™ is turned
off will I lose my settings?
No, the MILKchiller™ will have the same
settings at the next start-up.
The display continues to
flash “COOLING” 2 hours
after powering ON the
MILKchiller™.
Remove and discard the contents of the
MILKchiller™.
Turn the MILKchiller™ OFF, wait 3 seconds
then turn ON.
Use a new container of dairy product that has
been refrigerated at the proper temperature.
If problem persists, call the MILKchiller™
HOTLINE for service.
There was a power failure for 2
or more hours, is the milk safe?
It is recommended not to serve dairy products
that have not been cooled for over 2 hours.
If there is a power failure during business
hours, remove the container from the chilling
chamber and place in refrigerator. Turn the
MILKchiller™ to OFF for the duration of the
power failure.
Please remember to remove the container
from the chilling chamber and store it
overnight in the refrigerator. This will avoid
the dairy product spoiling overnight in the
event of an extended power outage.
Power ON the MILKchiller™ ™ after the
power has been restored.
When loading a ½ gallon
carton, liquid escapes from the
Disposable Straw.
Some ½ gallon containers are filled to the
top, causing milk to escape.
Pour out 2 oz. of liquid prior to inserting the
Disposable Straw.
When the push button is
pressed, the LOW indicator
flashes, even with a full carton
of dairy product installed.
This is normal, the force of pressing the push
button triggers the LOW indicator. It will
disappear when the push button is released,
unless the liquid level is actually LOW.
