2.3 FREEZER INSTALLATION
Installation of the freezer involves moving the freezer
close to its permanent location, removing all crating,
setting in place, assembling parts, and cleaning.
A. Uncrate the freezer.
Figure 5. Installing Trays and Inserts
(SF144 shown)
B. Accurate leveling is necessary for correct drainage
of freezer barrel and to insure correct overrun. Place
a spirit level on top of the freezer at each corner to
check for level condition. If adjustment is necessary,
level the freezer by turning the bottom part of each
leg in or out. Then separate freezer base gasket and
install with the seam to the back and the flat to the
bottom.
F. Connect the power cord. The plug is designed for
208 or 230 volt/20 amp duty. Check the nameplate
on your freezer for proper supply. The unit must be
connected to a properly grounded receptacle. The
electrical cord furnished as part of the freezer has a
three prong grounding type plug (Fig. 6). The use of
an extension cord is not recommended. If one must
be used, use one with a wire size 12 gauge or heavier
with a ground wire. Do not use an adaptor to get
around grounding requirement.
C. Air cooled freezers require correct ventilation. The
right side of the freezer is the air intake and must
have a 3" (7.5cm) clearance. Air discharges out of the
left side of the unit and must have 3" (7.5cm) clear-
ance. Do not obstruct the intake or discharge
(Fig. 4).
WARNING
Do not alter or deform electrical plug in any way.
Altering the plug to fit into an outlet of different
configuration may cause fire, risk of electrical
shock, product damage and will void the warranty.

3.4 FREEZE DOWN AND OPERATION
This section covers the recommended operating proce-
dures to be followed for the safe operation of the
freezer.
A. Sanitize just prior to use.
B. Place the FREEZING CYLINDER OFF-ON switch in
the OFF position.
Figure 12. Sanitizing Hopper
C. With spigots open, pour approximately 1 gallon (3.8
liters) of mix into the hopper. Allow the mix to flush
out about 8 ounces (0.23 liters) of sanitizing solution
and liquid mix. Close the spigot.
E. After five minutes, place a bucket under the spigot

G. After about 6 to 10 minutes the freezer will shut off
and the "SERVE" message will display on the LCD
panel. The product will be ready to serve. Freeze
down time may be longer for some frozen diet
dessert mixes. High ambient temperatures may
extend freeze down time.
3.5 MIX INFORMATION
Mix can vary considerably from one manufacturer to
another. Differences in the amount of butterfat content
and quantity and quality of other ingredients have a
direct bearing on the finished frozen product. A change
in freezer performance that cannot be explained by a
technical problem may be related to the mix.
H. For normal dispensing, move the spigot handle fully
open (Fig. 15).
When changing from one type of mix to another such as
yogurt to Vitari, you may have to change the mix inlet
regulator and/or control settings. Please call your
distributor for further information.
Proper product serving temperature varies from one
manufacturer’s mix to another. Mixes should provide a
satisfactory product in the 18° to 20°F (-7° to -6°C)
range.
When checking the temperature, stir the thermometer in
the frozen product to read the true temperature.
Mix does not improve with age. Old mix, or mix that has
been stored at too high a temperature, can result in a
finished product that is less than satisfactory in taste
and appearance. To retard bacteria growth in dairy
based mixes, the best storage temperature range is
between 36° to 40°F (2.2° to 4.4°C).
Figure 15. Dispensing Product
Some products tend to foam more than others. If excess
foam should occur, skim the foam off with a sanitized
utensil and discard. Periodically, stir the mix in the
hopper with a sanitized utensil.
I. The freezer is designed to dispense the product at a
reasonable draw rate. If the freezer is overdrawn, the
result is a soft product or a product that will not
dispense at all. If this should occur, allow the freezer
to run for approximately 30 seconds before dispens-
ing additional product. After a while the operator will
sense or feel when the freezer is beginning to fall
behind, and will slow down on the rate of draw so as
not to exceed the capacity. Spigot Rate Adjusters are
located under the Header Panel, to the immediate
right of each Spigot Handle. Turning the Spigot Rate
Adjuster counterclockwise will decrease the

3.6 REMOVING MIX FROM THE FREEZER
To remove the mix from the freezer, refer to the following
steps:
A. Remove the mix inlet regulator from the hopper by
pulling straight up (Fig.16).
J. Do not operate the freezer when the MIX LOW
message is displayed or with less than 1-3/4" (4.4
cm) of mix in the hopper. Refill the hopper
immediately.
NOTE
The freezer has a standby and sleep mode. When
the freezer is not used, after a preset number of
freezing cycles, it will enter the standby mode
(followed by sleep mode) and remain there until
someone draws a product or pushes the push-to-
freeze switch. In the sleep mode, the freezer will
keep the product below 45°F (7.2°C). Sleep modes
are not to be used in place of cleaning and sani-
tizing. Frequency of cleaning and sanitizing is
determined by Federal, State, and local regula-
tory agencies.

simply wash in the direction of the finish with warm
soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use highly abrasive
materials as they will mar the finish.

CLEANINGvs.SANITIZING
It is important to distinguish between cleaning and
sanitizing. Although these terms may sound
synonymous, they are not. BOTH are required for
adequate food safety and proper machine
maintenance.
3.13PREVENTIVEMAINTENANCE
It is recommended that a maintenance schedule be fol-
lowed to keep the freezer clean and operating properly.
CLEANING

Is the removal of soil materials from a surface.
Is a prerequisite for effective sanitizing.
Soft serve freezers require special consideration
when it comes to food safety and proper cleaning
and sanitizing.
NOTE
An UNCLEAN surface will harbor bacteria that can
defy sanitizing efforts.
The following information has been compiled by
Purdy Products Company, makers of Stera-Sheen
Green Label Cleaner/Sanitizer and specifically
covers issues for cleaning and sanitizing frozen
dessert machines. This information is meant to
supplement a comprehensive food safety program.
Bacteria can develop and resist sanitizing efforts
within a layer of soil material (milkstone). Thorough
cleaningproceduresthatinvolvemilkstone
removal are critical for operators of frozen
dessertmachines.

NOTE
Using a SANTITIZER on an unclean surface

MILKSTONE – Is a white/gray film that forms on
equipment and utensils that come in contact with
dairy products. These films will accumulate slowly
on surfaces because of ineffective cleaning, use of
hard water, or both. Milkstone is usually a porous
deposit, which will harbor microbial
Proper Daily Maintenance:
The Only Way to Assure Food Safety and
Product Quality
Proper daily maintenance can involve a wide variety
of products and procedures. Overall, the products
and procedures fall into three separate categories.

Once milkstone has formed, it is very difficult to
remove. Without using the correct product and
procedure, it is nearly impossible to remove a thick
layer of milkstone.
(NOTE:general-purposecleanersDONOTremove
milkstone.) This can lead to high bacteria counts
andafoodsafetydilemma.
1. CLEANING – This involves draining mix from
the freezer barrel and rinsing the machine with
water. Next, a cleaner is run through the
machine. Then, the machine is disassembled
and removable parts are taken to the sink for
cleaning.
2. MILKSTONE REMOVAL – Since almost all
cleaners do not have the ability to remove
milkstone, the use of a delimer becomes
necessary. Although this procedure may not be
needed on a daily basis, it will usually follow the
cleaning procedure. It requires letting a delimer
solution soak in the machine for an extended
period of time. Individual parts are also soaked
in a deliming solution for an extended period of
time (more about delimers in Additional
Information).
IT IS BEST TO CONTROL MILKSTONE ON A
DAILY BASIS BEFORE IT CAN BECOME A
SIGNIFICANTFOODSAFETYPROBLEM.
In addition to food safety, milkstone can cause
premature wear to machine parts which can add to
costs for replacement parts or possibly more
expensive repairs if worn machine parts are not
replaced once they have become excessively worn.

THE USE OF CHLORINE TEST STRIPS
3. SANITIZING – After the machine has been
cleaned and contains no milkstone, the
machine is reassembled. Then a FDA approved
sanitizing solution is run through the machine to
kill bacteria. The machine is then ready for
food preparation.
“Test strips” are used to determine concentrations of
active chlorine in sanitizing solutions. To use the
strips, tear off a small portion and submerge it into
the sanitizing solution. Then, compare the color
change to the color key on the side of the test strip
dispenser to determine the approximate chlorine
concentration.
As a recommended cleaner and sanitizer for your
frozen dessert machine, STERA-SHEEN has proven
to be one of the best daily maintenance products for:
The ideal concentration of chlorine needs to be 100
ppm (as stated by the FDA).
·
·
·
CLEANING – Thorough removal of all solids
including butterfat and milk fat.
NOTE
Follow the directions on the container for proper
concentration.
MILKSTONE REMOVAL–Completeremovalof
milkstone.
There are two main factors that contribute to falling
chlorine concentrations in a sanitizing solution.
SANITIZING – FDA-approved no rinse sanitizer
for food contact surfaces.
1. PRODUCT USE – As the chlorine in the
solution is being used, chlorine concentrations
fall.
AdditionalInformation
THE USE OF DELIMERS
A delimer is a strong acid that has the ability to
dissolve milkstone. This type of chemical may
become necessary once high levels of milkstone
have developed. While these products are very
effective for removing HIGH levels of milkstone, they
are not ideal for two reasons:
2. TIME – As time passes, small amounts of
chlorine “evaporate” from the solution. (That is
why you can smell it.)
Sanitizing solutions should not be allowed to fall
below 100 ppm chlorine. New solutions should be
mixed once old solutions become ineffective
1. PRODUCT SAFETY – Strong acids are
dangerous chemicals and handling them
requires safety
B. DAILY
1. The exterior should be kept clean at all times to
preserve the lustre of the stainless steel. A mild
alkaline cleaner is recommended. Use a soft
cloth or sponge to apply the cleaner.
2. MACHINE DAMAGE – Strong acids will attack
metal and rubber causing premature wear of
parts. The use of a delimer needs to be closely
monitored to avoid damage to machine surfaces
and parts.
CAUTION
With proper daily use of STERA-SHEEN or it’s
equivalent, there is no need for the use of a
DELIMER.
Do not use acidic cleansers, stron caustic com-
pounds or abrasive materials to clean any part of
the freezer exterior or plastic parts. Use of these
types of cleaners will cause equipment damage.
DO NOT USE BLEACH
·
BLEACHHASABSOLUTELYNOCLEANING
PROPERTIES.
·
BLEACH IS CORROSIVE. It can and will
damage components of the machine causing
premature wear and metal corrosion.
C. WEEKLY
1. Check O-rings and rear seal for excessive
wear and replace if necessary.
GENERAL PURPOSE CLEANERS
2. Remove the drip tray by gently lifting up to
disengage from the support and pulling out.
Clean behind the drip tray and front of the
freezer with a soap solution.
General purpose cleaners do not have the ability to
remove milkstone. Milkstone will become a problem
if not remedied with additional products and
procedures.

WARNING
High voltage will shock, burn or cause death. Turn
off and lock out main power disconnect before
servicing. Do not operate machine with cabinet

The air-cooled condenser is a copper tube and aluminum
fin type. Condensing is totally dependent upon airflow. A
plugged condenser filter, condenser, or restrictions in the
louvered panel will restrict airflow. This will lower the
capacity of the system and damage the compressor.
The condenser must be kept clean of dirt and grease. The
freezer must have a minimum of 3” (7.5 cm) of ventilation
on the right and left sides of the unit for free flow of air
(Figure 29). Make sure the freezer is not pulling over 100°
F (37° C) air from other equipment in the area.

The condenser and condenser filter require periodic
cleaning. To clean, refer to the following procedures.
1. Remove the Phillips head screw from the bottom of
the right side panel, and then slide the panels down
and out.
2. To remove the condenser filter, grasp the top and pull
off. Visually inspect for dirt. If the filter is dirty, shake
or brush excess dirt off the filter and wash in warm,
soapy water. Once the filter is clean rinse thoroughly
in warm, clear water and shake dry, taking care not
to damage the filter in any way (Figure 28).
Figure 29. Cleaning Condenser
NOTE
3. Visually inspect the condenser for dirt by shining a
light through the coil from the back (inside) of the
condenser.
If the condenser is not kept clean, loss of refrig-
eration efficiency will result; causing extended run
time or soft product consistency.
4. If the condenser is dirty, place a wet towel over the
front (outside) of the condenser.
Water-cooled condensers need an unrestricted supply
of cold, clean water.
