Chapter
A chapter is that part of a section describing an assembly or concept relevant to a machine part.
Subchapter
It is that part of a chapter detailing the specic component of a machine part.
It is necessary that each person involved in the machine operation reads and clearly understands
those parts of the handbook of his/her own concern, and particularly:
The Operator must read the chapters concerning the machine star-up and the operation of
machine components.
 A skilled technician involved in the installation, maintenance, repair, etc., of the machine must
read all parts of this handbook.
ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION

tion:
Part list: A list of spare parts which is delivered together with the machine for its mainte-
nance.
 Wiring diagram: A diagram of wiring connections is placed in the machine.
Installation sheet: To be completed by the installer. Return a copy to the customer,
the dealer and the manufacturer in order to activate the machine
warranty
Before using the machine read carefully the instruction handbook.
Pay attention to the safety instructions.

described involves the risk of burns and scalds.
CAUTION CRUSHING HAZARD
This warns the staff involved that failure to abide by safety rules in carrying out the operation
described involves the risk of suffering crushed ngers or hands.
CAUTION: GENERAL HAZARD
The staff involved is warned that the operation described may cause injury if not performed
following safety rules.
NOTE
It points out signicant information for the staff involved.
WARNINGS
This warns the personnel involved that the non-observance of warning may cause loss of data and
damage to the machine, or cause risks for noncompliance with any applicable law/regulations.
PERSONAL PROTECTIONS
This symbol on the side means that the operator must use personal protection against an implicit
risk of accident.
EQUIPOTENTIAL CONNECTION
For connecting all appliances with this type of connection.
Warning: do not connect to ground.
SYMBOLOGY QUALIFICATION OF THE STAFF
The staff allowed to operate the machine can be differentiated by the level of preparation and
responsibility in:
MACHINE OPERATOR
Unqualied personnel, without any specic technical abilities, capable of carrying out simple
jobs, such as: operating the machine using the commands available on the keypad, the loading
andunloadingofproductsusedduringproduction,theloadingof any consumable materials, basic
maintenance operations, (cleaning, simple blockages, inspections of the instrumentation, etc.).
QUALIFIED ENGINEER
He/she is a skilled engineer for the installation and operation of the machine under normal
conditions; he/she is able to carry out interventions on mechanical parts and all adjustments, as
well as maintenance and repairs. He/she is qualied for interventions on electrical and refrigeration
components.
ICETEAM 1927 ENGINEER
He/she is a skilled engineer assigned by the manufacturer to interventions for complex jobs under
particular conditions or in accordance with agreements made with the machine's owner.

SAFETY
When using the machine, one must be aware of the fact that drive mechanisms (rotary motion),
high voltage components, as well as parts subject to high temperatures may cause serious damage
to persons and things.
Persons in charge of plant safety must make sure that:
 any incorrect use or handling is avoided;
safety devices are not removed or tampered with;
the machine is regularly serviced;
only original spare parts are used especially as far as those components with safety functions
are concerned (ex.: protection microswitches, thermostats);
suitable personal protective equipment is worn;
attention is paid during hot product cycling.
To achieve the above, the following is necessary:
 at the work station an instruction manual relevant to the machine should be available;
such documentation must be carefully read and requirements must consequently be met;
The appliance is only to be installed in locations where its use and maintenance is restricted
to trained personnel.
 only adequately skilled personnel should be assigned to electrical equipment; this appliance is
not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety;
 Make sure that no technician will ever carry out interventions outside his own knowledge and
responsibility sphere;
 Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure that the staff does not carry out any operation outside their own sphere of knowledge
and responsibility (refer to “Symbology qualication of the staff”).
NOTE:
According to the standard in force, a QUALIFIED ENGINEER is a person who, thanks to:
- training, experience and education,
- knowledge of rules, prescriptions and interventions on accident prevention,
- knowledge of machine operating conditions,
is able to recognise and avoid any danger and who has also been allowed by the person in charge
of plant safety to carry out all kinds of interventions.
WARNINGS
• Never put your hand into the machine, alike during production and cleaning operations.
Before carrying out any maintenance operation, make sure that the machine is in “STOP”
position and main switch has been cut out.
• It is forbidden to wash the machine by means of a bolt of water under pressure.
• It is forbidden to remove panels in order to reach the machine inside before having discon-
nected the machine.
• The place of installation must not be exposed to water sprays, high moisture, heat or steam sources.
• Do not store explosive substances or spray bottles inside the machine, nor bottles for
aerosol with ammable propellants.
• ICETEAM 1927 is not responsible for any accident that might happen during operation,
cleaning and/or servicing of its units, if this warning has not been fully complied with.

ICETEAM 1927 recommends to always use high quality mix for ice cream production in order
to satisfy your customers, even the hardest-to-please ones. Any saving made to the prejudice of
quality will surely turn into a loss much bigger than the saving itself.
Bearing in mind the above statements, please take heed of the following suggestions:
• Make your mixes yourselves from high quality natural ingredients or buy them from reliable
companies.
• Follow closely instructions given by your mix supplier for the preparation of the mixes.
• Do not alter your mix supplier's recipies, by adding, for instance, water or sugar.
• Taste ice cream before serving it and start selling it only if entirely satisfactory.
• Make sure your staff always keeps the machine clean.
Have your machine serviced always by companies authorized by ICETEAM 1927.
** Other supply voltage ratings are available. For specic values, refer to the identication plate applied to the
machine and on the rst page of this manual.
Performances featured by a room temperature of 25°C and a cooling water temperature of 20°C.
