Carburetor Assembly Your new freezer uses a metering device, known as a carburetor, to feed the proper ratio of mix and air into the freezing cylinder. For products such as dairy based shake mixes, the proper mix to air ratio is generally accepted to be two parts mix to one part air. This proportion yields a finished product that is both tasty and profitable. At this ratio, one gallon of liquid mix will yield a volume of one and one-half gallons of frozen product. The carburetor is a tube with a

Computing Overrun (cont.) 3) Draw a heaping cup of frozen product that contains no air pockets. Note: Use a spatula or other device to help fill the cup completely. Avoid tamping the cup as this artificially reduces overrun. 4) Use a straight edge to scrape off excess product flush with the rim of the cup and weigh the cup. 5) Subtract the cup weight and use the overrun formula to determine overrun.

Mix Low Function (cont.) buzzer is out of the circuit and the light will illuminate fully again. After the 10-minute cycle the mix out safety func- tion is activated making the unit inoperable. The machine is placed into the standby mode to prevent any damage to the machine from running dry of product. The unit can be reset back to the freeze mode by simply adding mix into the hopper. 1) If the unit is low in mix or the unit shuts down due to extended mix low condition (“Mix Low” safety function

Product Consistency Adjustment (cont.) 4) When making adjustments to a thicker (colder) setting, dispense approximately 16 ounces (1/2 liter) of product and recheck consistency after the compressor has cycled off. 5) If the consistency is still not correct, repeat steps 2 and 3. "Standby" - Freezing Cylinder Temperature Adjustment 1) Remove the front electrical box cover. (See Figure C). 2) For a colder setting, turn the "Barrel" control adjuster, located at the top left of the circuit board, co

Consistency Control - Overview (cont.) In the “standby” mode the control board senses the temperature of the product in the barrel. The drive motor is cycled on time only. It will operate for 2 minutes ON then 18 minutes OFF as long as it is in “standby”. The com- pressor and drive motor are cycled independently for the barrel in the “standby” mode. Once the barrel thermistor signals to the board, the board will start the compressor and the barrel solenoid valve will open as refrigeration is req

CARE AND CLEANING Note: Each time the freezer is disassembled, all internal freezer components must be thoroughly washed, scoured, and sanitized using procedures recommended by your local health department. In lieu of local health department recommendations, use a three compartment sink; one compartment to wash parts in detergent, one compartment to rinse, and one to sanitize. Drain and Rinse 1. If the freezer is empty, proceed to “Cleaning Following Complete Disassembly of Unit” or “Daily Clean

Daily Cleaning Procedure (cont.) Note: The best way to remove an “O” Ring is to first wipe off all of the lubricant using a clean paper towel. Pinch the “O” Ring upward with a dry towel between your index finger and thumb. When a loop is formed in the “O” Ring, roll it out of the groove with your other thumb. Always remove the “O” Ring farthest from the end of the plunger first. (See figure M). Figure M Ring Removal 2. Take all components to the cleaning area. 3. Carefully inspect the “O” Rin
