LOCATION & INSTALLATION
2.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not attempt to operate your Petite Sorbeteer until the safety precautions and operating
instructions in this manual are read completely and are thoroughly understood.
Take notice of all warning labels on your Petite Sorbeteer. The labels have been put
there to inform and protect persons servicing your equipment. Care must be taken not to
damage or destroy labels during installation and servicing. The labels have been
designed to withstand routine cleaning and handling. Damaged or missing labels should
be promptly replaced with approved labels from Frosty Factory of America Inc.
2.2 INSTALLATION
Placing your Petite Sorbeteer in a highly visible area will enhance sales.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to share the electrical outlet with any other appliance,
this will overload the circuit and cause the circuit breaker to trip.
NOTE: Any establishment serving beverages from frozen drink machines is
responsible for providing the necessary facilities for cleaning and
sanitizing their food service equipment.
1. Uncrate your Petite Sorbeteer.
2. Place the three-position switch in the OFF position (center).
3. Connect the power cord. The Petite Sorbeteer must be connected to a properly
grounded receptacle. The electrical cord furnished as part of the Petite Sorbeteer has
a three prong grounding type plug. The use of an extension cord is not
recommended. If one must be used, consult the national and local electrical codes.
Do not use an adapter to get around grounding requirements.
WARNING; Do not attempt to alter the electrical plug. Serious injury
or electrocution may result.
6. Install the drip tray, hopper cover, and faceplate and beater bar assemblies on your
petite Sorbeteer.

SECTION 3
OPERATION
3.1 MACHINE CONTROLS
Two selector switches located on the front of the machine control operation of the Petite
Sorbeteer. Selection of the right (snowflake) position with the upper (three-position)
switch as well as the lower (two-position) switch will schedule the machine for normal
operation. The compressor cycle is protected by a time delay circuit, which will engage
the compressor approximately 2 minutes after normal operation is initiated. The red fill
light located above the switches will illuminate when the supply tank is near empty. A
thermostat knob is visible on the electrical control box of your machine. This is set at the
factory and should not be changed except by an authorized service repairman.
Refer to the chart below for functions available with various combinations of switch
positions.
Normal Operation - Machine will freeze mix to provide frozen
beverage as desired.
Cooling Operation - Machine will automatically come on
whenever necessary to keep mix cooled to 5º C/40º F - used
primarily for overnight storage of mix remaining in the machine.
Cleaning Operation - The drive motor will run in the faucet
position to allow a stirring action of the rinse water while cleaning.
Off - The hand symbol is the recognized international symbol for
“stop”. In this position, the machine will not run.
5
3.2 THE PRODUCT YOU SERVE
The Petite Sorbeteer will produce a fine grain, semi-frozen slush when the proper mix is
used. When measured with a refractometer, the proper mix will measure 12 to 18 “brix”.
Too little sugar in the mix will cause larger ice crystals to form. Too much sugar will
lengthen the freeze time.
CAUTION: Any attempt to freeze water only will cause severe damage
to your machine.
NOTE: Do not add sugar directly into the machine, as some of it will settle
and result in an improper mix.
FRUIT JUICES with at least 32 grams of sugar per 8 oz. Serving will freeze well in the
Petite Sorbeteer. They will remain stable during the freezing process while retaining
their natural color and flavor.
NEUTRAL BASES are used to produce a neutral frozen cocktail base. A wide variety
of different drinks can be created from one neutral base by the addition of various flavors
and/or liquor. Most brands of neutral bases specify a mixture of four parts water to one
part neutral base. However, before use in the Petite Sorbeteer, be sure the “brix” level is
12 to 18.
The amount of ALCOHOL in the recipe will affect the freezing process. As a rule of
thumb, for the mix to freeze properly, the recipe should contain no more than 25 percent
alcohol.
Suggestion for optimum production and sales:
1) Use the finest ingredients available.
2) Test the product before serving it.
3) Keep the machine clean - ALWAYS!
3.3 PRODUCT CONSISTENCY
An exclusive torque sensing mechanism developed by Frosty Factory of America will
produce consistent texture and thickness of your frozen beverages. The adjustment screw
(accessible through either side panel as you face the machine front) is pre-set at the
factory. Various mix consistencies can be achieved by turning the screw clockwise
(thicker drink) or counter clockwise (thinner drink). Turn the screw one full turn then
allow enough time to lapse (about three minutes) for the compressor to complete a cycle
before sampling. Continue this process until desired result is obtained.
6
3.4 START UP
NOTE: Before start-up, be sure the machine has been sanitized and reassembled in
accordance with procedures set forth in the cleaning section of this manual.
(1) Fill the cylinder and hopper until the mix in the hopper is approximately 1” from the
top of the hopper. Install the hopper cover.
(2) Turn on by selecting the “right” (snowflake) position of both switches on the front
panel.
NOTE: Add mix as soon as the red light comes on.
NOTE: Pre-cooling the mix will reduce freeze-time, example: mix poured in
at 40º F will freeze in half the time of mix at 80º F.
3.5 FREEZE TIME
The freeze time on the Model 115R is approximately 10 minutes with one unit
freezing, 15 minutes with two units freezing and 20 minutes with three units
freezing. This figure is based on ideal conditions with a starting mix temperature of
approximately 40 degrees. The time will increase if the machine in not properly
ventilated or is operated in a hot environment. Some recipes with high alcohol or
high sugar content will naturally take a little longer.

SECTION 4
MAINTENANCE
4.1 CLEANING
The following cleaning procedure should be used for initial start-up and on an as needed
basis to comply with the minimum cleaning and sanitizing frequencies specified by the
Federal, state or local regulatory agency having jurisdiction.
(1) Turn the machine to the off “hand” position. Remove hopper cover. Look in the
hopper, locate and remove the float and float clip for cleaning.
(2) If applicable, drain mix into a sanitized container as per local health code procedures.
Store in an adequate cooling facility.
NOTE: Do not put hands or foreign matter into mix.
(3) Pour two gallons of cool water (approximately 75º F) into the hopper. Clean the
hopper and feed hole. Place upper switch in “faucet” position to let the machine stir
for 2 minutes. Turn machine “OFF”, drain and dispose of the rinse water. Repeat
until water is clear.
(4) Mix two gallons of warm water (approximately 100º F) with two ounces of sanitizing
powder to achieve 100 parts per million (PPM) sanitizing solution.
(5) Pour the sanitizing solution into the hopper. Brush-clean hopper and feed hole. Place
upper switch in “faucet” position. Let solution stir for 5 minutes. Then, turn machine
“OFF” and drain the solution. Rinse with fresh water and drain.
(6) Remove the knobs from the faceplate by turning in a counter clockwise direction.
Carefully pull the faceplate straight away from the front of the machine. Remove the
beater bar assembly from the cylinder. Then slide the spring seal off the rear of the
beater bar. Unscrew white faucet cap to remove faucet plunger from faucet body.
Remove all o-rings for cleaning.
NOTE: Do not unscrew faucet body from faceplate to clean. (Leak free service after
disturbing the Teflon seal cannot be assured).
(7) All parts removed during the above steps plus the drip tray can now be cleaned in
your warm (100º F) sanitized solution. Rinse all parts in clean rinse water and allow
to dry before re-assembly.
(8) Repeat procedure for units with two freezing cylinders.
8
4.2 RE-ASSEMBLY
(1) Using Petro-Gel (or other sanitary food grade lubricant), lightly lubricate the longer
end of the beater shaft. Slide beater seal onto the shaft with the spring end toward the
beater bar. (Refer to diagram on top of the hopper cover for correct installation of
spring seal).
NOTE: The black carbon ring must be facing the end of the beater bar so it will
be in direct contact with the white ceramic seal inside the cylinder when
the beater bar is re-installed. This is a dry seal and must be kept free of
lubricants.
CAUTION: Lube the beater bar shaft. The beater seal may become damaged if the
beater shaft is not lubricated before installation of the beater seal.
(2) Carefully insert the beater bar (with beater seal) into hole at the rear of the cylinder
and rotate until it fully engages into the drive plate.
CAUTION: Rough handling during beater bar installation can damage the ceramic
seal.
(3) Lubricate the large, black, rubber, faceplate O-ring (but not the white faceplate
bushing) with Petro-Gel then re-install and press firmly into the faceplate groove for
proper fit. Re-install o-rings on faucet
(4) Re-install the faceplate on the machine. First place the faceplate bushing onto the
beater shaft. Then slide faceplate onto the four studs. Now re-attach the faceplate
knobs and tighten evenly until the faceplate O-ring is snug against the cylinder. Reinstall float and float clip.
CAUTION: If you over tighten the knobs or tighten against a beater bar that is not
fully engaged in the drive plate permanent distortion to the faceplate may
occur!
(5) Mix two gallons of warm water with one 2 oz. Packet of Sanitizer.
(6) Pour two gallons of solution into hopper. Clean the hopper and feed hole with a
clean sanitized brush.
(7) Place upper switch in “faucet” position. Let solution stir for 5 minutes. Turn upper
switch “OFF” (hand) position. Drain all solution.
(8) Pour product into hopper. Replace hopper cover. Place both switches in right
(snowflake) position when ready to freeze product.

4.3 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
It is recommended that a maintenance schedule be followed to keep the machine clean
and operating properly.
WARNING: Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on machine until the
main electrical power has been disconnected.
A. DAILY
The exterior of the machine should be kept clean at all times to preserve the luster of
the stainless steel. A mild alkaline cleaner is recommended. Use a soft cloth or
sponge to apply the cleaner.
B. WEEKLY
(1) Check O-rings and rear seal for excessive wear and replace if necessary.
(2) Clean the drip tray and front of the machine with a soap solution.
C. MONTHLY
CAUTION: Air-cooled condensers must have proper air circulation. Failure to
clean the condenser on a regular basis may result in serious damage and
could void warranty.
(1) Visually inspect the condenser for dirt by shining a light through the coil from the
inside of the condenser.
(2) If the condenser is dirty, place a wet towel over the outside of the condenser.
(3) Using compressed air or a CO2 tank, blow out the dirt from the inside of the
condenser. Most of the dirt will cling to the wet towel.
(4) An alternative method of cleaning the condenser is to use a condenser brush
and vacuum.
NOTE: If the condenser is not kept clean, loss of refrigeration efficiency will
result, causing extended run time or soft product consistency.
4.4 EXTENDED STORAGE
Refer to the following steps for storage of the machine over any long shutdown period.
(1) Turn the three position switch to the OFF (center) position.
(2) Disconnect (unplug) from the electrical supply source.
(3) Clean thoroughly with a warm detergent all parts that come in contact with the mix.
Rinse in clean water and dry all parts. Do not sanitize. Petite Sorbeteer parts can be
left disassembled until ready for use.
NOTE: Do not let the cleaning solution stand in the cylinder during the shutdown
period.
