B. Assemble O-rings onto the spigot plungers
without lubricant. Then apply a thin film of
sanitary lubricant to the exposed surfaces of the
O-rings.
1. Insert the spigot assembly into the product outlet.
2. Slide the spigot retaining clip into position.
C. Assemble the flavor bottles as follows:
1. Replace the bottles in the flavor rack.
D. Install sani-tray and cover.
E. Replace the cup dispensers on the side of the
freezer by positioning the bracket on the dispenser
above the bracket on the side of the freezer and sliding
down.
3.7 MIX INFORMATION
It is essential to follow the mixing instructions on the
neutral base container carefully. The concentration of
ingredients in the product, which determines the "Brix"
(sugar level), is very important to the operation of the
freezer and the quality of the drink. When the proper
amount of neutral base is mixed with the proper amount of
water, the mixture should have a "Brix" reading between 11
and 13.
CAUTION
DO NOT POUR THE INDIVIDUAL INGREDIENTS (WA-
TER OR NEUTRAL BASE) DIRECTLY INTO THE FREEZER
AND DEPEND ON THE AGITATOR TO DO THE MIXING.
THIS DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR ADEQUATE MIXING
AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE FREEZER.
Refer to the following steps for filling the freezer:
A. Follow instructions on neutral base containers to mix
neutral base with water. Then pour into the freezer.
B. The product cylinder has a 10 gallon capacity, when
filled approximately 1" (2.54 cm) from the top of the
cylinder. When filling the cylinder, it is necessary to
remove all trapped air from below the divider plate.
Fill the product cylinder with mix to within 1" (2.54 cm)
from the top. Place a sanitary container under the
serving spigot and dispense small amounts of liquid by
pulling out and pushing in the spigot in a series of short
bursts. Each time the spigot is closed, bubbles will rise
to the top of the liquid in the product cylinder. When no
more bubbles rise to the top, the air trapped under the
divider plate has been removed. Pour the contents of the
container back into the product cylinder.
3.8 FREEZE DOWN AND OPERATION
A. With mixed neutral base in the product cylinder,
start the freezing process by setting the STIRRING
ONLY-OFF-STIRRING & FREEZING switch in the
STIRRING & FREEZING position.
B. Although servable product can be obtained after the
freezer has been run for 1 hour, the best quality ice
crystals will develop after the freezer has been
running for several more hours.
3.9 DISPENSING PRODUCT
To dispense product correctly, refer to the following steps:
A. Select the desired cup size.
B. Dispense flavor concentrate into the cup first, by
pushing the flavor pump down. Use one squirt of
flavor for small cups, two squirts for medium cups and
three squirts for large cups.
C. Place cup under and against the spigot.
D. Pull the spigot out.
E. Fill the cup. The gravity flow from the spigot will
automatically mix the flavor concentrate with the
neutral base mixture as it is dispensed.
F. When the cup is full, push the spigot in.
3.10 ROUTINE CLEANING
To remove spilled or dried mix from the freezer exterior,
simply wash in the direction of the finish with warm soapy
water or a mild alkaline cleanser and a soft cloth or sponge.
Do not use abrasive materials as they will mar the finish of
the freezer.
Refer to Figure 28 for all external parts of the freezer to be
cleaned.
3.11 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
It is recommended that the following maintenance sched-
ule be followed to keep the freezer clean and operating
properly.
CAUTION
NEVER ATTEMPT TO REPAIR OR PERFORM MAINTE-
NANCE ON THE FREEZER UNTIL THE MAIN ELECTRI-
CAL POWER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED.
