Allow the product to flow over the refractometer. The
brix reading should register 13 to 14. A reading
higher than this would cause a darker, richer product.
The refrigeration system would have to run longer to
freeze this excess syrup. A reading lower than this
could cause a freeze-up in the freezing cylinder
because of the excess water.
Figure 6-43
5. To adjust the brix, turn the adjustment screw in the
service panel. Clockwise adjustments increase the
amount of syrup to water, and counterclockwise
adjustments decrease the amount of syrup to water.
Adjust the screw in small increments and check the
brix again.
Figure 6-44
Repeat this step
until a correct brix reading is
registered.
6. Once the proper brix has been achieved, close the
sampling valve. Install the front drip tray and the
splash shield on the front of the freezer.

7. With a pail beneath the door spout, press the
BEATER key. Open the draw valve and drain the
freezing cylinder. Close the draw valve. After 3
minutes, press the PRIME key. This will cause the
product to flow to the mix hopper.
8. Hold a large cup under the pressure relief port exit of
the door, until the liquid level (not foam) reaches the
pressure relief port. Lower the prime plug. Press the
OFF key.
Note:
A large amount of foam indicates that the prime
plug was raised too high.
9.
Repeat step 1 through step 8
for the remaining
freezing cylinder(s).
10. To place the freezing cylinder in Auto mode, press
the AUTO key. When the machine cycles off, the
product will be at serving viscosity.
Figure 6-46
Repeat this step
for the remaining freezing cylinder(s).
11. Replace the side panels and close the lighted
display. Install the hood in position on top of the
freezer.
