5.1 Normal Operation
CAUTION
It is imperative to ensure that the cover of the form
disposer is completely closed before it is inserted into the
guide tube, otherwise damage to the machine may occur!
CAUTION
It is imperative to ensure that the press stamp is completely
returned to the initial position before the former is removed,
otherwise damage to the machine may occur!
•Fill the cooled form disposer with the appropriate amount of ice cream.
•Close the lid of the form disposer completely!
•Insert the form disposer from below into the guide tube.
•Lock the former by turning it counter clockwise.
•Turn further so that the head part of the ice cream press swivels to the right. Now the
press stamp moves automatically into the form disposer and pushes the ice cream
through the mould.
•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.
•After the press stamp has returned completely to the initial position, 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, increases the speed. Please note that the
regulating screw is secured with a counter ring.
5.3 Setting the height
In order to be able to adjust the ice press optimally to your needs, the machine head
can be adjusted in three heights. To adjust the height, turn the clamping lever behind
the housing of the machine head counter clockwise about half a turn. Now tilt the
