Taylor 161 - Manual (Page 14)

10 Model 161 Important: To the Operator
Non--Softecht Control Machines
Note: If your machine is equipped with the Softecht
controls, please use the instructions on page 7.
Push-Button Switch
If an overload condition occurs, the freezer will
automatically stop operating. To properly reset the
freezer, place the toggle switch in the OFF position.
Wait two or three minutes; then press the push-button
switch. Place the power switch in the WASH position
and observe the freezer’s performance; place the
power switch in the AUTO position.
Note: If the freezer is unplugged from the wall
receptacle, it will be necessary to press the
push-button switch for the freezer to operate once
power is re-established.
Power Switch
The center position is OFF. The left position is WASH
which activates the beater motor only. The right
position is AUTO, which activates the beater motor
and the refrigeration system.
Air Tube
The Model 161 is called upon to handle a large variety
of products (i.e., soft serve, yogurts, Italian ices,
sherbets, etc.). Thus, the consistency of the mix you
use will vary. The air tube meters a combination of mix
and air into the freezing cylinder. If not enough mix
enters the freezing cylinder, a freeze-up may occur,
which will cause eventual damage to the beater.
Depending upon the product being run, you may wish
to contact your local authorized Taylor Distributor to
make a slight adjustment in the air tube.

Note: During AUTO operation, the orifice end of the
tube should be inserted in the hole in the hopper.
Taylor Quality Control
The Model 161 uses a solid state control called the
Watt Control. The purpose of this solid state control is
to sense the viscosity (thickness) of the product in the
freezing cylinder. With the power switch in the AUTO
position, the Watt Control will automatically keep the
mix in the freezing cylinder at the proper viscosity and
ready for serving.
Indicator Light -- Mix Low
A mix level indicating light is located at the front of the
machine. When the light is on, it indicates that the mix
hopper has a low supply of mix and should be refilled
as soon as possible. Always maintain at least 2” (51
mm) of mix in the hopper. If you neglect to add mix, a
freeze-up may occur. This will cause eventual damage
to the beater assembly and to the freezer door.
