6. If your machine is equipped with an auxiliary

refrigeration system, check the auxiliary

condenser for accumulation of dirt and lint. A

dirty condenser will reduce the refrigeration

capacity of the mix hopper. Condensers must

be cleaned monthly with a soft brush. Never

use screwdrivers or other metal probes to clean

between the fins. Failure to comply may result

in electrocution.

7. If your machine is water cooled, check the wa-

ter lines for kinks or leaks. Kinks can occur when

the machine is moved back and forth for clean-

ing or maintenance purposes. Deteriorated or

cracked water lines should be replaced only by

an authorized Taylor mechanic.

Winter Storage

If the place of business is to be closed during the winter

months, it is important to protect the freezer by

following certain precautions, particularly if the

building is subject to freezing conditions.
Disconnect the freezer from the main power source to

prevent possible electrical damage.
On water cooled freezers, disconnect the water

supply. Relieve pressure on the spring in the water

valve. Use air pressure on the outlet side to blow out

any water remaining in the condenser, and then add a

liberal amount of permanent type auto anti-freeze.

This is extremely important. Failure to follow this

procedure may cause severe and costly damage to the

refrigeration system.
Your local Taylor distributor can perform this service for

you.
Wrap detachable parts of the freezer such as the

beater assembly and freezer door, and place them in

a protected dry place. Rubber trim parts and gaskets

can

be protected

by

wrapping

them

with

moisture-proof paper. All parts should be thoroughly

cleaned of dried mix or lubrication accumulations

which attract mice and other vermin.
