Front Plate:
This component is the plastic device from
which the product is dispensed. It is designed and
manufactured for strength and durability. However,
through improper use, the front plate can be damaged.
Use the following information for proper care:
a. Do not over tighten the knobs.
b. Always tighten knobs evenly. Do not attempt to
turn one knob all the way down and then one of
the other three knobs. Doing so will bind the front
plate and could result in breakage.
c. Improper installation of the stator rods can cause
breakage. The stator rods must be properly
seated in the dasher before installing the front
plate. If the stator rods are improperly installed,
subsequent
tightening
of the knobs will break the
front plate.
d.
DO NOT
attempt to wash the front plate or any
other components in a dishwasher.
Mix Out Light:
When the mix out light comes on, the
mix pan is low on mix. The mix pan must be filled with
fresh product mix immediately to prevent air from
entering the freezing cylinder starving the machine and
causing freeze-up and vibration. If this condition occurs,
set the selector switch to the
“OFF”
position. Remove
the carburetor tube and add mix to the low mix pan until
the freezing cylinder stops bubbling. Replace the
carburetor tube with a gentle twist, then return the
control switch to the
“AUTO”
position.
Filling:
Always fill the machine with fresh product at the
start of each day.
Drip Tray:
This should be removed daily and cleaned
to remove residue.
Mix Pan Lid:
Be certain to leave the lid in place on top
of the machine to prevent any foreign materials from
contaminating the mix.
Mixing:
Make certain that the product mix is prepared
according to label instructions.
Sanitizing:
Do not soak plastic parts in sanitizer
overnight. Doing so can cause the plastic parts to
become brittle and lead to premature failure.
Mix Pan Agitator:
If the mix pan agitator stops turning
during operation of the machine, turn off the machine,
reposition the agitator with a sanitized utensil, and
follow the instructions for starting the machine.
DO NOT POUR PRODUCT MIX DIRECTLY ONTO
THE AGITATOR WHEN YOU FILL THE MACHINE.
Treat the mix pan agitators as any other small parts
such as the scraper blades. Follow the same cleaning
and sanitizing instructions.
Winter Storage:
To protect the unit during seasonal
shut-down, it is important that the dispenser be stored
in the proper manner. Use the following procedures:
1. Turn
off
ALL
power to the machine.
2. Wash all parts that come in contact with the mix
with a warm mild detergent solution. Rinse in clear
water and dry parts thoroughly.
3. Store the loose parts such as the mix pan
components, front plate parts, and the dasher
assembly parts outside of the machine.
4. Do not lay heavy objects on the plastic or rubber
parts.
5. Cover the machine and all loose parts to protect
them from dust or other contaminants while in
storage. Place the machine in a dry location.
6. On water-cooled units, disconnect the water
lines. Use compressed air to blow out all
remaining water in the condenser. Insert a
screwdriver (Fig. 26) to open the water valve.
Note: Failure to purge the machine of water
can result in severe damage to the cooling
system. This task should be performed by a
qualified service technician.
