to recover before dispensing additional product.
I. Do not operate the machine when the ADD MIX
light is on. Refill the hopper immediately.
3.6 MIX INFORMATION
Mix can vary considerably from one manufacturer to
another. Differences in the amount of butterfat content
and quantity and quality of other ingredients have a
direct bearing on the finished frozen product. A change
in machine performance that cannot be explained by a
technical problem may be related to the mix.
Proper product serving temperature varies from one
manufacturer’s mix to another. Shake mixes generally
providesatisfactoryproductfrom24°to28°F(-4°to-2°C).
When checking the temperature, stir the thermometer in
the frozen product to obtain an accurate reading.
Old mix or mix that has been stored at elevated tempera-
tures will produce poor-quality product with a bad taste
andunacceptableappearance.Toretardbacteriagrowth

Air Cooled & Hopper Condenser
The condensers are copper tube and aluminum fin type.
Condensing is totally dependent upon airflow. Aplugged
condenserfilter,condenser,orrestrictionsinthelouvered
panel will restrict airflow. This could increase the hopper
temperature,lowerthe capacity ofthesystemor damage
the compressor.
The condensers must be kept clean of dirt and grease.
The machine must have 3” (7.6 cm) ventilation on both
sides. Make sure the machine is not pulling over 100° F
(37° C) air from other equipment in the area.
The condensers and condenser filters require periodic
cleaning. To clean, refer to the following procedures.
A. Disconnect power to the machine
B. Remove the Phillips head screws from the right
side panel, and remove the panel.
C. To remove a condenser filter, grasp the top and
