4.1 Spaghetti- Press Instalation
•Carefully remove the ice-press from its packaging.
•Do not use utility knives to open the packaging to avoid possible damage to the
machine!
•Place the machine at the intended location. It can be set up freely or screwed firmly to
the substructure. For this purpose there is an 0,31 inches / 8 mm threaded hole, in the
bottom plate. Make sure that the machine is set up on a horizontal, firm and stable
ground.
4.2 Compressed Air Connection
•To connect the ice press to an existing compressor, a hose of 6 mm diameter is
required..
•Connect the other end of the hose assembly to the connector of the Spaghetti ice
cream press. Insert hose as far as it will go. By briefly retracting the hose this is
locked.
•When installing the cable, please make sure that it is laid without kinks.
•Switch on the compressor.
•Set the working pressure at the pressure reducer to 58 - 87 psi / 4 - 6 bar. Please
also refer to the operating instructions of the manufacturer.

5 Instructions for Use
CAUTION
The ice cream press may only be operated by
persons instructed in its handling.
ADVICE
Before putting your new ice press into operation,
all parts
in contact with food products must be
thoroughly cleaned in order to eliminate any
manufacturing residues!
5.1 Normal Operation
•Fill the cooled form disposer with the appropriate amount of ice cream.
•Insert the form disposer from below into the guide tube.
•Lock the former by turning it counterclockwise.
•Turn further until it stops. In this case, the roller valve is actuated whereby the press
stamp moves into the former and presses the ice located therein through the mold.
•Wait until the press stamp reaches the bottom of the form disposer and the entire ice
cream has been pressed out.
•By turning the form disposer clockwise until it stops, the press stamp automatically
returns to its original position and the form disposer is unlocked.
•Remove the form disposer downwards.
It is recommended to keep the form disposer refrigerated when not in use.

5.2 Setting the speed
Under the top cover of the ice press a valve with choke is installed, this serves to
regulate the speed of the pressure piston. The power of the ice press always
remains the same!
By screwing in the adjusting screw on the choke valve, the working speed is reduced
by unscrewing the adjusting screw the speed is increased.
6 Maintenance Guidelines
6.1 Cleaning
CAUTION
Before any maintenance and
cleaning work, the machine
must be set without pressure
to avoid any injury!
•Put the compressor out of operation.
•Depressurize the ice cream press to avoid injury. To do this, move the ball valve in the
compressed air connection line of the ice cream press or disconnect the compressed
air connection line at the connector from the compressed air supply.
•Check if the ice cream press is depressurized.
•Loose the release screw on the front and unscrew approx. 0,20 inches /5 mm.
•Turn the guide tube clockwise as far as it will go and then pull it downwards.
•Unscrew the polyamide press stamp from the piston rod.
ATTENTION: The press stamp is screwed with left hand thread!
•The form disposer can be cleaned occasionally when changing types of ice cream.
•Clean the removed parts (all parts are dishwasher safe).
•Reassemble in reverse order.
6.2 Routine Maintenance
•Lightly grease the seal of the press stamp for smooth running and long life after
cleaning.
•Regularly check the oil level of the compressor on the sight glass.
•Regularly check the oil level of the compressor at least once a month to prevent
corrosion in the compressor and to prevent contamination of the compressed air lines
and the pressure cylinder (see also operating instructions of the compressor
manufacturer)!
•The condensed water must be disposed properly.
