3.1 OPERATOR’S SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SAFE OPERATION IS NO ACCIDENT; observe these
rules:
A. Know the freezer. Read and understand the
OperatingInstructions.
B. Noticeallwarning labels onthefreezer.
C. Wearproperclothing.Avoidloosefittinggarments,
andremovewatches,ringsorjewelrywhichcould
cause a serious accident.
D. Maintain a clean work area. Avoid accidents by
cleaning up the area and keeping it clean.
E. Stay alert at all times. Know which switch, push
button or control you are about to use and what
effect it is going to have.
F. Disconnectelectricalcordformaintenance.Never
attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the
freezer until the main electrical power has been
disconnected.
G. Donotoperateunderunsafeoperatingconditions.
Neveroperatethefreezerifunusualorexcessive
noiseorvibrationoccurs.

closed when the door is properly installed.
F. AutofillKit(Part2183807 -Optional)
The autofill kit is used with a pump to keep the
hopper filled. The autofill kit is for use with non-
potentiallyhazardousfoodsubstances;non-dairy.

3.3 SANITIZING
Sanitizingmustbedoneafterthefreezeriscleanedandjust
before the hopper is filled with mix. Sanitizing the night
beforeisnoteffective.However,youshouldalwaysclean
thefreezerandpartsafter each use.
The United States Department of Agriculture and
the Food and Drug Administration require that all
cleaningandsanitizing solutionsusedwithfood pro-
cessing equipment be certified for this use.
Whensanitizingthefreezer,refertolocalsanitaryregula-
tions for applicable codes and recommended sanitizing
productsandprocedures.Thefrequencyofsanitizingmust
comply with local health regulations.
Mix sanitizer according to manufacturer’s instructions to
provide a 100 parts per million strength solution. Mix
sanitizer in quantities of no less than 2 gallons (7.5 liters)
of 90° to 110°F (32° to 43°C) water. Allow sanitizer to
contact the surfaces to be sanitized for 5 minutes. Any
sanitizer must be used only in accordance with the
manufacturer’sinstructions.
In general, sanitizing may be conducted as follows:
A. Prepare Stera-Sheen Green Label Sanitizer or
equivalentaccordingtomanufacturer’sinstructions
to provide a 100ppm strength solution. Mix the
sanitizer in quantities of no less than 2 gallons of
90° to 110°F (32° to 43°C) water. Any sanitizer
must be used only in accordance with the
manufacturer’sinstructions.
B. Ifusinga shake mix, place the mix inlet regulator
into hopper. If using a slush mix, the mix inlet
regulatorisnotrequired.
C. PlacetheswitchintheCLEANposition.Checkfor
leaks.
D. Clean sides of hopper, mix inlet regulator and
undersideofhoppercoverusingasoftbristlebrush
dippedinthesanitizingsolution(RefertoFigure3-
2).
CAUTION
Donotallow sanitizertoremainin contactwithstain-
less steel freezer parts for prolonged periods. Pro-
longed contact of sanitizer with freezer may cause
corrosion of stainless steel parts.

mix, the mix inlet regulator is not required.
3.4 FREEZE DOWN AND OPERATION
This section covers the recommended operating proce-
duresforthesafeoperationofthefreezer.
A. Sanitize just prior to use.
B. Place the switch in the OFF (middle) position.
NOTE
Make sure the mix inlet regulator is in place before
addingshakemixes.Thisis not necessary forslush
mixes.
C. Pourapproximately1/2gallonoffullythawedmix
into the hopper. Open spigot and drain a small
amountofmixtoremoveanyremainingsanitizer.
D. Fillhopperwithpre-chilled (40°For4°C)mix.
NOTE
Do not overfill the hopper. Mix level must not be
higherthantheairinlettubeonthemixinletregula-
tor.
E. Place the switch in the ON position.
NOTE
After the drive motor starts, there is a 3 second de-
lay before the compressor starts.
F. After 8 to 12 minutes the product will be at
consistency and will be ready to serve. Freeze
down time may vary depending on mix type and
ambienttemperatures.
G. Fornormaldispensing,pullthespigothandledown

3.5 MIX INFORMATION
Mix can vary considerably from one manufacturer to an-
other. Differences in the amount of butterfat content and
quantity and quality of other ingredients have a direct
bearingonthefinishedfrozenproduct.Achangeinfreezer
performance that cannot be explained by a technical
problem may be related to the mix.
Proper product serving temperature varies from one
manufacturer’smixtoanother.Shakeandstackableslush

-2°C).
When checking the temperature, stir the thermometer in
thefrozenproduct toobtainanaccurate reading.

tureswillproducepoor-qualityproductwithabadtasteand

3.6 REMOVING MIX FROM FREEZER
To remove the mix from the freezer, refer to the following
steps:
A. Ifremovingshakemix,pullthe mixinletregulator
straightup andremoveitfrom the hopper.
B. Place the switch in the CLEAN position to rotate
the auger. Allow the mix to agitate in freezing
cylinder until the mix has become liquid, about 5
minutes.
C. Drain the liquid mix by opening the spigot. A
container should be placed under the spigot to
collect the liquid mix.
D. Place the switch in the OFF (middle) position.
3.7 CLEANING THE FREEZER
NOTE
The frequency of cleaning the freezer and freezer
parts must comply with local health regulations.

3.11 ASSEMBLY OF FREEZER
Toassemblethefreezerparts,refertothefollowingsteps:
NOTE
Petrol Gel sanitary lubricant or equivalent must be
used when lubrication of parts is specified.
NOTE
The United States Department of Agriculture and
theFoodandDrugAdministration require that lubri-
cants used on food processing equipment be certi-
fied for this use. Use lubricants only in accordance
withthemanufacturer’sinstructions.
A. Assemble all o-rings onto parts dry, without
lubrication. Then apply a thin film of sanitary
lubricationtoexposedsurfacesoftheo-rings.Also
apply a thin film of sanitary lubricant inside and

Soil Materials Associated with Frozen Dessert
Machines
MILKFAT/BUTTERFAT – As components of ice-cream/
frozen custard mix, these soils will accumulate on the
interior surfaces of the machine and its parts. Fats are

Once milkstone has formed, it is very difficult to remove.
Without using the correct product and procedure, it is
nearly impossible to remove a thick layer of milkstone.
(NOTE: general-purpose cleaners DO NOT remove
milkstone.) This can lead to high bacteria counts and a

The machine is then ready for food preparation.

THEUSEOFDELIMERS
A delimer is a strong acid that has the ability to dissolve
milkstone. This type of chemical may become necessary
oncehighlevelsofmilkstonehavedeveloped.Whilethese
products are very effective for removing HIGH levels of
milkstone, they are not ideal for two reasons:
1. PRODUCTSAFETY–Strongacidsaredangerous
chemicalsandhandlingthemrequires safety
2. MACHINE DAMAGE – Strong acids will attack
