Spaceman requires that only the specied
refrigerant be used in your machine.
Alternave refrigerants may cause damage to
the cooling system and/or prevent the machine
from operang at opmal performance.
If you require an alternave refrigerant, please
call Spaceman Technical Support for a list of
compable alternaves for your compressor.
• Place on a at, level, and solid surface ed
to the machine dimensions
• Ensure a minimum 152mm (6'') clearance on
the exhaust side (Side or Back)
• Completely clear area of dust, grease, and
airborne parcles
• Place away from hot equipment such as
stoves, frying baskets, ovens, etc.
Failure to comply will
damage the machine and refrigeraon
components and will void all warranes.
Operang in higher ambient
temperatures will result in degraded
performance.
1. Connect all wires to Circuit Breaker (including
neutral & ground bus terminals) or Local Plug ac-
cording to supply voltage and wire codes on ma-
chine power cable.
2. Verify Incoming Supply Cable is wired the same
way on Circuit Breaker or Wall Receptacle before
switching on or plugging in the machine.

If this is the rst me operang the machine, you MUST clean and
sanize ALL parts prior to running the machine.
• Daily
• Every 1 to 3 months*
• Quarterly**
Cleaning and sanizing schedules are governed by state or local
regulatory agencies and MUST be followed accordingly. Roune maintenance
MUST be performed a minimum of once every three days.
• Do NOT run the machine without properly lubricang required parts
• Do NOT clean the machine with abrasive or toxic chemicals and cleaners
• Doing so may cause damage to the stainless steel material
• ONLY use Spaceman-included cleaning brushes and lubricaon
• NEVER use metal objects to clean or operate the machine
• ALWAYS replace wearable parts a minimum of every 3 months
• ALWAYS prime machine prior to operang
• ALWAYS inspect parts for excess wear and damage
Addional brushes, lubricaon, wearable parts, and tools can be
purchased from Spaceman to ensure proper maintenance. Extra wearable
parts (except scraper blades) are found in the Start-Up Kit.
-
* Based on machine usage and cleaning intervals; a Tune-Up Kit is
available with all wearable parts (O-rings, gaskets, etc.) except scraper
blades
** Based on cleanliness of locaon and proximity to powder-based
machines. Preventave maintenance includes cleaning condensers,
checking belt tensions, and cleaning the interior of the machine frame
as required.
For opmal machine performance and many years of eciency and reliability from your machine,
Spaceman recommends cleaning and sanizing the machine and its parts . The machine comes
equipped with a brush kit specically designed to eciently and properly clean the machine.

to air-dry. Sanize machine before using again.
1. Verify assembly is complete.
2. If installed, remove hopper lid and air
tube.
3. Verify draw valve is in the CLOSED
posion (UP).
4. Mix a minimum of 7.57 liters (2 gallons)
of food-grade sanizer in a bucket or
container.

to scrub and distribute sanizer soluon
along hopper walls .
9. OPEN the draw valve (DOWN) and drain
soluon from the machine.
10. Turn to OFF to stop cycle.
Always use food-grade, no-rinse sanizer to sanize. If warm water is required to
dissolve sanizer, allow the soluon me to cool before adding to machine.
1. Verify machine has been recently sanized (within 1
hour); if machine has not been recently sanized,
verify door hand-screws are ght, and perform
sanizing steps (Page 10).Thoroughly mix and prepare
at least 7.57 liters (2 gallons) of product according to
manufacturer instrucons; mix should be cool and
smooth (free of large chunks).

1. Verify cylinder is full of mixed product and primed.
2. Turn to FREEZE posion.
3. The motor will begin to agitate the product, and the
cooling system will begin to freeze the product.
4. Freezing product takes approximately 10 minutes.
5. When product reaches the set viscosity, it is ready
to dispense.
The mix-low lights illuminate when a hopper is low on product mix and
automacally de-illuminate when machine is lled.
OPEN draw handle (DOWN) unl desired amount is
dispensed.
CLOSE draw handle (UP) when nished dispensing.
If machine doesn’t turn on,
turn power OFF, wait 30 minutes,
and repeat steps 1 to 5. If problem
persists, contact service team.
If machine makes any
abnormal noise during reset,
immediately switch power OFF
and contact service team.
-(usually
because the viscosity is set too high for the selected product) to prevent motor damage. Use
the green reset buon to return the machine to normal operaon.
1. Switch power switch OFF.
2. Press green reset buon on side or
back of machine.
3. Wait 15 to 20 minutes; switch power
ON.
4. Press RESET, then WASH buon on
front.
5. Observe machine performance and
return to normal use if funconing
properly.
Make only small adjustments to viscosity seng; allow at least 10 to 15 minutes
between adjustments to evaluate product rmness. Viscosity seng should NOT need
connuous adjustment. A seng of 3 is a good starng point for most product.
Machines without air pumps can experience product consistency changes if they go unused for an ex-
tended period of me. Product may become icy or dense if le in the freezing cylinder too long, oen
occurring during a business’s longer slow-periods.
1. With machine in FREEZE mode, remove air tube.
