To the Operator
The freezer you have purchased has been carefully
engineered and manufactured to give you dependable
operation. The Taylor freezer, when properly operated
and cared for, will produce a consistent quality product.
Like all mechanical products, this machine 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 equipment.
Your Taylor freezer will NOT eventually compensate and
correct for any errors during the setup or filling
operations. Thus, the initial assembly and priming
procedures are of extreme importance. It is strongly
recommended that all personnel responsible for the
equipment’s operation review these procedures in order
to be properly trained and to make sure that there is no
confusion.
If you require technical assistance, please contact your
local authorized 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 an authorized Taylor service
technician. Taylor reserves the right to deny warranty
claims on units or parts if non-Taylor-approved parts or
incorrect refrigerant were installed in the unit, 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 unit, it signifies that this unit 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 unit 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 unit 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 unit’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 unit owner’s responsibility to make this fact known
to any technician he 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 five-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, 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 unit in question.
