4 Assembly Instructions
4.1 Spaghetti - Press Installation
•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. Make sure that the machine is set up on a
horizontal, firm and stable ground.
4.2 Compressed Air Connection
•To connect the ice cream press to an existing compressor, a hose of 0,24 inches / 6
mm diameter is required.
•Insert the hose line in the connector with the spaghetti ice cream press connection line.
Insert the hose as far as it will go. By briefly drawing back the hose, this will be locked.
•When installing the hose, please make sure that it is laid without kinks.
•Switch on the compressor.
•Set the working pressure with the pressure reducer to 4 – 6 bar/ 58 - 87. Please refer
for this to the operating instructions of the manufacturer.
4.3 Power Supply
The ice cream press itself requires no electricity. It is exclusively operated with
compressed air.
5 Instructions for Use

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

Seite 10
machine head slightly to the right, slide the head in the guide to the height of one of the
three locking steps and swivel the head back into the vertical position. Then fix the
head again by turning the clamping lever clockwise.
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.
•Pull the locking pin on the front and remove the guide tube by turning it slightly
clockwise downwards.
•Remove the polyamide press stamp from the former lid.
•The magnet driver on the push rod does not need to be disassembled and can be
cleaned by hand if necessary.
•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
•The sealing ring of the press stamp should be slightly greased after cleaning
•The condensed water must be drained from the compressor at least once a month to
prevent contamination of the compressed air lines and of the pressure cylinder and/or
valves (see also the operating instructions of the compressor manufacturer)!
•The condensed water must be disposed properly.
