Air-Cooled Machines
Do not obstruct air intake and discharge openings.
Air-cooled machines require a minimum of 3 in. (76 mm)
of clearance around all sides of the freezer. Install the
deflector provided to prevent recirculation of warm air.
Failure to allow adequate clearance can reduce the
refrigeration capacity of the freezer and possibly cause
permanent damage to the compressors.
Water Connections
(Water-Cooled Machines Only)
An adequate cold water supply must be provided with a
hand shut-off valve. On the underside rear of the base
pan, two 1/2 in. (13 mm) I.P.S. water connections for inlet
and outlet have been provided for easy hook-up. 
Permanently connect the machine using 1/2 in. 
(12.7 mm) inside diameter water lines. (Flexible lines are
recommended, if local codes permit.) Depending on local
water conditions, it may be advisable to install a water
strainer to prevent foreign substances from clogging the
automatic water valve. There will be only one water-in
and one water-out connection. Do not install a hand
shut-off valve on the water-out line. Water should always
flow in this order: first, through the automatic water valve;
second, through the condenser; and third, through the
outlet fitting to an open trap drain.
IMPORTANT! A backflow prevention device is
required on the incoming water connection side. Please
see the applicable national, state, and local codes for
determining the proper configuration. Water pressure to
the unit must not exceed 150 psi (1034 kPa).
Electrical Connections
IMPORTANT! In the United States, this
machine is intended to be installed in accordance with
the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 701987.
The purpose of the NEC code is the practical
safeguarding of persons and property from hazards
arising from the use of electricity. This code contains
provisions considered necessary for safety.
In all other areas of the world, the machine should be
installed in accordance with the existing local codes.
Please contact your local authorities if you have any
questions.
Each machine requires one power supply for each data
label on the machine. Check the data label(s) on the
machine for branch circuit overcurrent protection or fuse,
circuit ampacity, and other electrical specifications.

To the Operator
The freezer you have purchased has been carefully
engineered and manufactured to give you dependable
operation. The Taylor freezer, when properly operated
and cared for, will produce a consistent quality product.
Like all mechanical products, this machine will require
cleaning and maintenance. A minimum amount of care
and attention is necessary if the operating procedures
outlined in this manual are followed closely.
This Operator’s Manual should be read before operating
or performing any maintenance on your machine.
Your Taylor freezer will not eventually compensate and
correct for any errors during the setup or filling
operations. Thus, the initial assembly and priming
procedures are of extreme importance. It is strongly
recommended that all personnel responsible for the
machine’s operation review these procedures in order to
be properly trained and to make sure that there is no
confusion.
In the event you should require technical assistance,
please contact your local authorized Taylor distributor.
Note: Your Taylor warranty is valid only if the parts are
authorized Taylor parts, purchased from the local
authorized Taylor distributor, and only if all required
service work is provided by an authorized Taylor service
technician. Taylor reserves the right to deny warranty
claims on machines or parts if non-Taylor approved parts
or incorrect refrigerant were installed in the machine,
system modifications were performed beyond factory
recommendations, or 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, please 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
municipal waste.
The user is responsible for delivering the machine to the
appropriate collection facility, as specified by your local
code.

Compressor Warranty Disclaimer
The refrigeration compressor(s) on this machine 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 machine'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 machine 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 machines. For example, if the
refrigerant is lost during the course of ordinary service to
this machine, Taylor has no obligation to either supply or
provide its replacement either at billable or non-billable
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 Company will continue to monitor the industry and
test new alternates as they are being developed. Should
a new alternate prove, through our testing, then it would
be accepted as a drop-in replacement, then the above
disclaimer would become null and void. To find 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 machine in question.
