3.2 Starting the machine
IMPORTANT. Remember to clean and sanitize the machine according the instruction in
chapter 4.2, before the machine is used the first time, to ensure the hygiene.
3.2.1 Filling soft ice cream mixture
1. Ensure that the machine is in STOP condition.
2. Ensure that the beater assembly, the discharge door, the drip tray and the air tube
have been properly installed.
IMPORTANT: This machine has been designed, in the way that both of the cooling
cylinders must be filled with soft ice cream mixture during operation. Make sure to fill
mixture before any of the hoppers is empty.
INFO: to prepare Oceanpowe’s soft ice cream mix for one hopper the following need to
be done:
• Pour 3 L drinkable clean water into a clean container.
• Add 1kg Oceanpower soft ice cream powder slowly while stirring the mix
until it is totally dissolved.
• Let the mix rest for 15 minutes, the effect will be better if the mix is stirred
during the rest.
• Pour the soft ice cream mix into one of the hoppers or put it into a
refrigerator with a temperature of 5-7ºC.
3. Both of the hoppers must be filled with an equally amount of soft ice cream
mixture.
4. Push the CLEAN button, for 10~15 min, to fill the cooling cylinder fully
with soft ice cream mixture. After the mix has stopped bubbling down into the
freezing cylinder, than you can make ice cream flowing the next step
NOTE: Make sure that the little hole on the air tube is in downward position.
IMPORTANT: Always remember to wait for 10~15 min after the soft ice cream mix
been poured into the hoppers to ensure that enough mixture is in the cooling cylinder. If
the cooling cylinder is not filled during operation, then the frozen cylinder phenomena
may occur, see chapter 5.1.1, this may cause serious damage to the machine.
17

3.2.2 Starting the production,
1. First choose the desired hardness level of the product by adjust the value
shown in the hardness indicator window.
NOTE: if you are unsure what value on the hardness is best for your mixture, start with a
hardness level of 4 since this is a middle value.
2. Place a container under one of the drawn valves.
Lower the distribution handle slowly until ice cream
mixture comes out from the design cap and when it
occurs replace the handle to its original position
(This is to remove the air that still may be present in
the cooling cylinder).
Repeat the process for all draw valves and handles.
3. Push the AUTO button; to start the
cooling process of the ice cream, when the resistance in the cooling cylinder is
according to the hardness value, then the machine will stop automatically.
P
icture 15: Ice cream distribution
