To the Operator

To the Operator

The freezer you have purchased has been carefully 
engineered and manufactured to give you dependable 
operation. The Taylor Model 428, when properly operated 
and cared for, will produce a consistent quality product. 
Like all mechanical products, it will require cleaning and 
maintenance. A minimum amount of care and attention is 
necessary if the operating procedures outlined in this 
manual are followed closely.

This Operator's Manual should be read before operating 
or performing any maintenance on your machine.

Your Taylor freezer will 

not

 eventually compensate for 

and correct any errors during the setup or filling 
operations. Thus, the initial assembly and priming 
procedures are of extreme importance. It is strongly 
recommended that personnel responsible for the 
machine’s operation, both assembly and disassembly, go 
through these procedures together to be properly trained 
and to make sure no misunderstandings exist.

In the event you should require technical assistance, 
please contact your local Taylor distributor.

Note:  

Your Taylor warranty is valid only if the parts are 

authorized Taylor parts, purchased from the local 
authorized Taylor distributor, and only if all required 
service work is provided by a Taylor service technician. 
Taylor reserves the right to deny warranty claims on 
machines or parts if unapproved parts or incorrect 
refrigerant were installed in the machine, system 
modifications were performed beyond factory 
recommendations, or it is determined that the failure was 
caused by abuse, misuse, neglect, or failure to follow all 
operating instructions. For full details of your Taylor 
warranty, please see the Limited Warranty section in this 
manual.

Note:  

Constant research results in steady 

improvements. Therefore, information in this manual is 
subject to change without notice.

IMPORTANT! 

If the crossed-out, wheeled-bin 

symbol is affixed to this machine, it signifies that this 
machine is compliant with the EU Directives as well as 
other similar end-of-life legislation in effect after August 

13, 2005. Therefore, it must be collected separately after 
its use is completed and cannot be disposed as unsorted 
municipal waste.

The user is responsible for returning the machine to the 
appropriate collection facility, as specified by your local 
code.

For additional information regarding applicable local 
disposal laws, please contact the municipal waste facility 
and/or local authorized Taylor distributor.

Compressor Warranty Disclaimer

The refrigeration compressor(s) on this machine are 
warranted for the term stated in the Limited Warranty 
section in this manual. However, due to the Montreal 
Protocol and the U.S. Clean Air Act Amendments of 
1990, many new refrigerants are being tested and 
developed, thus seeking their way into the service 
industry. Some of these new refrigerants are being 
advertised as drop-in replacements for numerous 
applications. It should be noted that in the event of 
ordinary service to this machine's refrigeration system, 

only the refrigerant specified on the affixed data label 
should be used. 

The unauthorized use of alternate 

refrigerants will void your Taylor compressor warranty. It 
is the machine owner's responsibility to make this fact 
known to any technician he/she employs.
It should also be noted that Taylor does not warrant the 
refrigerant used in its equipment. For example, if the 
refrigerant is lost during the course of ordinary service to 
this machine, Taylor has no obligation to either supply or 
provide its replacement either at billable or unbillable 
terms. Taylor does have the obligation to recommend a 
suitable replacement if the original refrigerant is banned, 
obsoleted, or no longer available during the 5-year 
warranty of the compressor.
Taylor will continue to monitor the industry and test new 
alternates as they are being developed. Should a new 
alternate prove, through our testing, that it would be 
accepted as a drop-in replacement, then the above 
disclaimer would become null and void. To find out the 
current status of an alternate refrigerant as it relates to 
your compressor warranty, call the local Taylor distributor 
or the Taylor factory. Be prepared to provide the 

model/serial number of the machine in question.
