Operating Procedures
The Models 345, 346 and 355 contain two 7 quart (6.6
liter) freezing cylinders. The Model 349 contains four
7 quart (6.6 liter) freezing cylinders.
CAUTION: This unit is pressurized when
in operation.
The control switch, located on the top
side of the control box must be in the OFF position until
the unit is completely assembled. No part should ever
be removed from the machine while it is in operation.
No parts should be removed until the control switch
has been turned to the OFF position and all pressure
has been relieved at the draw handle.
The syrup flow controls combine the two ingredients of
soda water and syrup, and send this combination to
the mix hoppers. As product is drawn, new product
from the hopper will flow through a mix feed tube down
into the freezing cylinder. The mix hopper is supplied
with 20 pounds of CO
2
gas for dispensing the finished
product.
We begin our instructions at the point where the parts
are disassembled and laid out to air dry.
The following procedures will show you how to
assemble the parts into the freezer, sanitize them, and
prime the freezer with fresh product.
Duplicate the following procedures, where they apply,
for the remaining freezing cylinder(s).
If you are disassembling the machine for the first time
or need information to get to this starting point in our
instructions, turn to page 36 , “Disassembly” and start
there.
