CAUTION! This machine contains fluorinated
greenhouse gases (F-Gas) to provide refrigeration using
a hermetically sealed circuit or within foam insulation.
This machine’s type of gas, quantity, Global Warming
Potential (GWP), and CO2tonnes equivalent information
is recorded on the machine’s data label. The refrigerant
used is generally considered nontoxic and
nonflammable. However any gas under pressure is
potentially hazardous and must be handled with caution.
NEVER fill any refrigerant cylinder completely with liquid.
Filling the cylinder approximately 80% will allow for
normal expansion.
CAUTION! Use only approved refrigerant
listed on the machine's data label or authorized through a
manufacturer's technical bulletin. The use of any other
refrigerant may expose users and operators to
unexpected safety hazards.
WARNING! Refrigerant liquid sprayed onto the

To the Operator
The freezer you have purchased has been carefully
engineered and manufactured to provide dependable
operation. The Taylor Model 104 Batch Ice Cream
freezer, when properly operated and cared for, produces
a consistent quality product. Like all mechanical
products, this machine requires cleaning and
maintenance. A minimum amount of care and attention is
necessary if the operating procedures outlined in this
manual are followed closely.
NOTICE! DO NOT operate this machine
without reading this entire manual first. Failure to follow
all of these operating instructions may result in damage
to the machine, poor performance, health hazards, or
personal injury.
Model 104 does not compensate and correct for any
errors during the setup or filling operations. Therefore,
the initial assembly and priming procedures are of
extreme importance. It is strongly recommended that
personnel responsible for the machine’s operation, both
assembly and disassembly, go through these procedures
together to be properly trained and to make sure that no
misunderstandings exist.
If you require technical assistance, please contact your
local authorized Taylor distributor.
Note: Your Taylor warranty is valid only if the parts
used are authorized Taylor parts purchased from the
local authorized Taylor distributor, and only if all required
service work is provided by a Taylor service technician.
Taylor reserves the right to deny warranty claims on units
or parts if Taylor-unapproved parts or incorrect refrigerant
were installed in the unit, if system modifications were
performed beyond factory recommendations, or if it is
determined that the failure was caused by abuse,
misuse, neglect, or failure to follow all operating
instructions. For full details of your Taylor warranty, see
the Limited Warranty section in this manual.
IMPORTANT! If the crossed-out wheeled-bin
symbol is affixed to this machine, it signifies that this
machine is compliant with the EU Directives as well as
other similar end-of-life legislation in effect after August
13, 2005. Therefore, it must be collected separately after
its use is completed and cannot be disposed as unsorted

Compressor Warranty Disclaimer
The refrigeration compressor(s) on this unit are
warranted for the term stated in the Limited Warranty
section in this manual. However, due to the Montreal
Protocol and the U.S. Clean Air Act Amendments of
1990, many new refrigerants are being tested and
developed, thus seeking their way into the service
industry. Some of these new refrigerants are being
advertised as drop-in replacements for numerous
applications. It should be noted that in the event of
ordinary service to this unit's refrigeration system, only
the refrigerant specified on the affixed data label
should be used. The unauthorized use of alternate
refrigerants will void your Taylor compressor warranty. It
is the unit owner's responsibility to make this fact known
to any technician he/she employs.
It should also be noted that Taylor does not warrant the
refrigerant used in its equipment. For example, if the
refrigerant is lost during the course of ordinary service to
this unit, Taylor has no obligation to either supply or
provide replacement refrigerant either at billable or
unbillable terms. Taylor does have the obligation to
recommend a suitable replacement if the original
refrigerant is banned, obsoleted, or no longer available
during the five year warranty of the compressor.
Taylor will continue to monitor the industry and test new
alternates as they are being developed. Should a new
alternate prove, through our testing, that it would be
accepted as a drop-in replacement, then the above
disclaimer would become null and void. To find out the
current status of an alternate refrigerant as it relates to
your compressor warranty, call the local Taylor distributor
or the Taylor Factory. Be prepared to provide the 
model/serial number of the unit in question.

Control Switch
When the control switch (1) is placed in the Auto mode
and the timer is adjusted to the desired setting, the
refrigeration system operates. When the switch is placed
in the Eject mode, only the beater motor operates.
Orange Dial Light
Located below the control switch is an orange dial light
(2). When the control switch is in the AUTO position, this
light turns on, indicating the refrigeration system is
operable when the timer is set.
Safety
Never empty the contents of the freezing cylinder while
the control switch is in the AUTO position. Always put the
control switch into the EJECT position when drawing
product from the freezing cylinder. As an additional safety
feature, this machine does not operate if the door is
open.
Timer Control
Model 104 uses a timer control (3) to operate the
compressor and determine the viscosity of the product.
After the desired amount of product has been added to
the freezing cylinder, turn the timer for the amount of
refrigeration required for the batch. The timer setting
varies due to mix variations and desired finished product
viscosity.

Once the desired time is set, put the control switch into
the AUTO position. The compressor and beater motor
operate until the time is up. When the timer setting
elapses, the refrigerating process is canceled. The dial
light and beater assembly continues to operate. A tone
sounds, signaling the operator to dispense the finished
product. Turn the control switch to the EJECT position.
The product is ready to draw off and serve.
Start with 5 minutes and increase as needed. Times and
temperatures are dependent on specific mix
formulations, pre-charge amounts, and finished product
preferences.
Note: Because the freezing cylinder for the first batch
is at room temperature, the first batch freeze-down time
will be longer than subsequent batches.
Door Hinge
The door hinge (4) allows you to open the door without
removal. This feature is primarily used when changing
flavors and cleaning up is necessary.
Reset Condition
Model 104 is equipped with an internal motor overload
protection. Should an overload occur, the reset
mechanism trips, canceling freezer operation. To
properly reset the freezer, put the control switch into the
OFF position. Allow the beater motor to cool. Then return
the control switch to its original position.
Note: If the unit went out on reset, the product may
have been run too cold or too long. Therefore, after
resetting the freezer, check the temperature control or
the time set.
