WARNING:
The machine does not have to be anchored to the floor to ensure satisfactory operation. No particular
technical precautions need be taken to limit transmission of vibrations.
The installation requires the following operations:
A space of at least 10” (25 cm) must be left round the machine to ensure any mauntenance w ork
can be carried out easily.
Make sure the machine is steady by blocking the brakes (F) of the front wheels using the feet (DO
NOT USE THE HANDS).
Connect the hidro-system with the water inlet and outlet (see diagram above point W). For the
pressure and consumption data please see page 11 (MIXGEL 30).

Electric installation
The electrical installation, which the machine is connected to, must be carried out by a skilled
electrician in compliance with regulations and the Laws in force. An efficient electrical
installation with earthing is most important to ensure your machine works perfectly.
Fit a suitable wall switch: we strongly recommend fitting an automatic differential switch. See table
(A) for power rating and absorption details.
Check that the mains voltage is the same as the machine rating, shown on the serial number plate
(see page 6).
The line cable of the machine has 4 wires when the machine is 220 V: and 5 wires when it is 380V.
or 415 V.
When the cable has 4wires, the yellow/green wire is the earth and the other three are the three
phases.
When the cable has 5wires, the yellow/green wire is the earth - the blue wire is neutral - the other
three are the three phases.

Water connection
The refrigeration system has a water-cooled condenser. A connection for the hot or cold water pipe
exists. It is useful for washing the machine. Its tap and nozzle are on the front of the machine.
Connect the mains hose to the fitting that reads " ENTRATA ACQUA - WATER INLET ".
The drain hose must be connected to the fitting that reads " USCITA ACQUA - WATER OUTLET ".
The connection plates and fittings are inside the machine: to access these, remove the rear panel.
To connect the machine to the mains, we recommend using a rubber hose suitable for pressure of up
to 10 bars with an internal diameter of about 15 mm (matching the fittings supplied with the
machine).
If, for any reason, the plates indicating water inlet and outlet are illegible, please note that the water
inlet hose is fitted to the pressure-switch valve.
WATER PRESSURE AND CONSUMPTION
If the machine is using mains water, check that the incoming water has a pressure of at least 1,5 bar.
If the water pressure is more than 5 bar, fit a pressure reducer to the system, to reduce this to 4 bar.
Average water consumption (when the refrigerating unit is on) is:
MIXGEL 30 = 150/180 litres/hours *
MIXGEL 50 = 200/230 litres/hours *
* depending on the temperature of the incoming water.
If the water contains impurities, fit a purifying filter to avoid scaling and/or damage to the
pressure-switch valve.

Safety warning
Before starting the machine, check that the safety devices (1) (hopper protection grill) and (2) (exit
protection grill) are mounted and working.
When the machine is in use, do not touch the edge of the tank (4) with the hands or any other part
of the body as it is extremely hot. The boiler cap must be raised by means of the handle (2).
CAUTION: when the lid (3) is raised while the machine is in operation, the stirrer inside the heater
must stop. Check that it does so.
WARNING
Tampering or reducing safety devices (1) and (2),
can cause serious injury to the operator
While the machine is operating:
NEVER introduce foreign bodies into the hopper when this is in use, eg. scrapers -
knives - hose piping, etc., as these can damage the machine and may
injure the operator.
Never insert scrapers or knives between the bars in the exit while the
ice-cream is flowing out.
TECHNOGEL CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF
TAMPERING WITH THE MACHINE SAFETY DEVICES.
