Figure 1 1 for the location of the operating controls on the
freezer. For the information regarding error codes displayed
on the control panel, refer to the troubleshooting section
of this manual.
A.Spigot Switch
The Spigot switch will automatically actuate the
auger drive and refrigeration systems when the
spigot is opened to dispense product. When the
spigot is closed, the drive motor and compressor will
remain "on" until the product in the freezing cylinder
reaches the proper consistency.
B.Freezing Cylinder Off-On Switch
The Freezing Cylinder Off-On switches are two
position toggle switches used to supply power to
the left or right freezing cylinder control circuit.
When the switch is in the OFF position, the
refrigeration system and auger will not operate.
When the switch is in the ON position, the freezer
can be run in the freezing mode or cleaning mode.
The freezer will be in the sleep mode until a switch
is activated.
C.Main Freezer Power Switch
The Main Freezer Power switch is a two position
rocker switch. that supplies power to the freezing
cylinder circuits and the lower cabinet refrigeration
system. When the switch is placed in the ON
position, the lower cabinet refrigeration system will
run until the preset temperature is reached; then
cycle ON and OFF to maintain that temperature.

ON position, the pump will run until the preset
pressure is reached, then cycle ON and OFF
as product is drawn to maintain that pressure.
F.Push To Freeze Switch
The PUSH TO FREEZE switch is a membrane or
"snap" switch used to start the freezing cycle.
During initial freeze down, the The Main Freezer
Power switch and Freezing Cylinder Off-On switch
are placed in the ON position. Next, the PUSH TO
FREEZE switch is pressed and held until the drive
motor and compressor turn on.
NOTE
After the auger motor starts, there is a 3 second
delay before the compressor starts.

FREEZE switch. A horzontal status bar on the LCD
display will begin to fill the screen as product
freezes down. Wait until at least six bars are
dirsplayed or the green light is illuminated before
dispensing.
NOTE
If the freezer shuts off and alternating green and
amber lights flash on the control panel, the freezer
is running in the "cab only " mode (both freezing
cylinders are turned off) or the freezer is in an error
condition. Note the display on the LCD screen. If
the screen displays an error, turn the Freezing
Cylinder Off/On switch to the OFF position, correct
the problem and place the Freezing Cylinder Off/
On switch to the ON position. (Refer to Troubleshooting in Section 4).
H.Green Light
The green light is used to indicate that the product
has reached the proper consistency and is ready
to be dispensed. The light begins to flash at 98%
of consistency.
I.Clean Switch

3.3 IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING
CLEANING AND SANITIZING
Soft serve and shake freezers require special
consideration when it comes to food safety and
proper cleaning and sanitizing.
The following information specifically covers issues
for cleaning and sanitizing frozen dessert freezers.
This information is meant to supplement a
comprehensive food safety program.
Soil Materials Associated with Frozen Dessert
Machines
CLEANING
·Is the removal of soil materials from a surface.
·Is a prerequisite for effective sanitizing.
NOTE
An UNCLEAN surface will harbor bacteria that can
defy sanitizing efforts.
Bacteria can develop and resist sanitizing efforts
within a layer of soil material (milkstone). Thorough
cleaning procedures that involve milkstone
removal are critical for operators of frozen
dessert machines.
MILKFAT/BUTTERFAT – As components of icecream/frozen custard mix, these soils will
accumulate on the interior surfaces of the machine
and its parts. Fats are difficult to remove and help
attribute to milkstone build-up.
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
contaminants and eventually defy sanitizingefforts.
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-purpose cleaners DO NOT remove
milkstone.) This can lead to high bacteria counts
and a food safety dilemma.
IT IS BEST TO CONTROL MILKSTONE ON A
DAILY BASIS BEFORE IT CAN BECOME A
SIGNIFICANT FOOD SAFETY PROBLEM.
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.
Important Differences Between Cleaning and
Sanitizing
CLEANING vs. 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.
SANITIZING
·Kills bacteria.
·Can be effective on clean surfaces only.
·DOES NOT clean or remove milkstone.
NOTE
Using a SANTITIZER on an unclean surface
will not guarantee a clean and safe frozen
dessert machine.
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.
(Please note that this is a brief overview intended for
informational purposes only.)
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 AdditionalInformation).
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.
11
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:
·CLEANING – Thorough removal of all solids
including butterfat and milk fat.
The ideal concentration of chlorine needs to be 100
ppm (as stated by the FDA).
NOTE
Follow the directions on the container for proper
concentration.
·MILKSTONE REMOVAL – Complete removal of
milkstone.
·SANITIZING – FDA-approved no rinse sanitizer
for food contact surfaces.
Additional Information
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:
1.PRODUCT SAFETY – Strong acids are
dangerous chemicals. Carefully follow safety
instructions provided with delimer products.
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.
There are two main factors that contribute to falling
chlorine concentrations in a sanitizing solution.
1.PRODUCT USE – As the chlorine in the
solution is being used, chlorine concentrations
fall.
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.
3.4 DISASSEMBL Y OF FREEZER P ARTS
WARNING
Moving machinery can grab, mangle and dismember. Place the ON-OFF toggle switch in the
OFF position before disassembling for cleaning
or servicing. Placing the ON-OFF toggle switch
in the ON position during cleaning or servicing
may result in serious personal injury .
With proper daily use of STERA-SHEEN or it’s
equivalent, there is no need for the use of a
DELIMER.
DO NOT USE BLEACH
·BLEACH HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CLEANING
PROPERTIES.
·BLEACH IS CORROSIVE. It can and will
damage components of the machine causing
premature wear and metal corrosion.
GENERAL PURPOSE CLEANERS
General purpose cleaners do not have the ability to
remove milkstone. Milkstone will become a problem
if not remedied with additional products and
procedures.
THE USE OF CHLORINE TEST STRIPS
“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.
Before using the freezer for the first time, complete freezer
disassembly, cleaning and sanitizing procedures will need
to be followed. Routine cleaning intervals and procedures
must comply with the local and state health codes.
Inspection for worn or broken parts should be made at
every disassembly of the freezer for cleaning or other
purposes. All worn or broken parts should be replaced to
ensure safety to both the operator and the customer and
to maintain good freezer performance and a quality product. Two normal wear areas are the auger flights and front
auger support bushing (see Figure 12).
T o disassemble the freezer , refer to the following steps:

Figure 15. Rear Seal Removal
3.5 CLEANING DISASSEMBLED PARTS
Disassembled freezer parts require complete cleaning,
sanitizing and air drying before assembling. Local and
state health codes will dictate the procedure required.
Some state health codes require a four sink process (prewash, wash, rinse, sanitize, air dry), while others require
a three sink process (without the pre-wash step). The
following procedures are a general guideline only. Consult
your local and state health codes for procedures required
in your location.
A.To clean the freezer parts, disassemble all parts.
(Refer to section 3.4 for the disassembly of freezer
parts.)
B.Place all front door and auger parts in clean 90° to
110°F (32°C to 43°C) water and wash thoroughly
(four sink procedure only).
C.Place all parts in 90° to 110°F (32°C to 43°C) , mild
detergent water and wash thoroughly.
3. Remove the auger by pulling slowly and rotating
out of the freezer barrel. As the auger is
withdrawn, remove each plastic flight and spring
from the auger . Be careful not to scratch inside of
freezer barrel when removing flights or auger.
Remove the spring from each auger flight.
Figure 14. Auger Flight Removal
4.Keep the rear of the auger tipped up once it is
clear of the freezer barrel.
5. Wipe spline lubricant off hex end of auger with a
paper towel. Remove the rear seal. Figure 15.
D.Rinse all parts with clean 90° to 110°F (32°C to
43°C) water.
F.Sanitize all freezer parts following procedures out
lined below.

3.9 SANITIZING
Sanitizing must be done after the freezer is clean and just
before the freezer is filled with mix. Sanitizing the nightbefore is not effective. However, you should always clean
the freezer and parts after using it.
WARNING
The United States Department of Agriculture and
the Food and Drug Administration require that
all cleaning and sanitizing solutions used with
food processing equipment be certified for this
use.
When sanitizing the freezer, refer to local sanit ary regulations for applicable codes and recommended sanitizing products and procedures. The frequency of sanitizing must comply with local health regulations. Mix sanitizer according to manufacturer’s instructions to provide
a 100 parts per million strength solution. Mix sanitizer in
quantities of no less than 2 gallons of 90°F to 110°F (32°C
to 43°C) water. Allow sanitizer to cont act the surfaces to
be sanitized for 5 minutes. Any sanitizer must be used
only in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Do not operate the freezer when the MIX LOW light is
on or with less than 1-3/4" (4.4 cm) of mix in the
mix container. Refill the mix container 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 stand by mode
( followed by sleep mode) and remain there until
someone draws a product or pushes the pushto-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 sanitizing. Frequency of cleaning and sanitizing is determined by Federal, State, and local
regulatory agencies.

E.Place the OFF-ON switch in the ON position, then
press and hold the PUSH TO FREEZE switch until
the freezer starts.
NOTE
After the Drive Motor starts, there will be a 3
second delay before the Compressor starts.
F .After about 6 to 10 minutes the freezer will shut off
and the green lens will illuminate. SERVE will be dis
played on the LCD screen. The product will be
ready to serve. Freeze down time may be shorter
for some frozen diet dessert mixes. High ambient
temperatures may extend freeze down time.
G.The refrigeration is automatically actuated when
the spigot is opened.For normal dispensing, move
the spigot handle fully open. This position provides
excellent control over the product and aids in
making desired shaped portions. Spigot Rate
Adjusters are located under the Header Panel, to
the immediate right of eachSpigot Handle. T urning
the Spigot Rate Adjuster clockwise will increase
the dispense rate (see Figure 22).
The freezer is designed to dispense the product at a
reasonable draw rate. If the freezer is overdrawn, the
result will be a soft product and air pops. If this should
occur , allow the freezer to run for approximately 30
Figure 22. Dispensing Product
3.11 MIX INFORMATION
Mix can vary considerably from one manufacturer to
another. Differences in the amount of butter-fat 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.
Proper product serving temperature varies from one
manufacturer's mix to another. Mixes should provide a
satisfactory product in the 17° to 20°F (-7° to -6°C) range.
Diet and low-carb mixes typically freeze to proper consistency at higher temperatures.
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 from the appearance
and taste standpoint. 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).
17
3.12 OPERATION OF MIX PUMP
The mix pump switch is located in the upper left hand
corner, inside the refrigerated cabinet. When the pump
switch is placed in the ON position, the mix pump motor
will be actuated to pump mix into the freezer cylinder.
When the set pressure is reached, the mix pump will shut
off automatically. When the switch is placed in the OFF
position, the mix pump will be inoperative.
NOTE
The mix pump motor is equipped with an internal
overload that will “trip”, disabling the pump when the
motor is overloaded. Consult the trouble shooting
section for corrective information.The internal overload will automatically reset after cooling. If the condition continues, contact a qualified service person.
CAUTION
Risk of Product Damage
Mix pump hose must be repositioned every 1 -2 weeks
or 60 hours of operation. Failure to comply will result
in reduced mix pump liquid capacity , dispense stoppage, popping, and possible mix pump hose leakage. Hose leakage may damage the pump roller assembly and void the factory warranty .
A.Mix Operation: The peristaltic mix pump contains
one continuous mix pump hose. When looking at the
face of the peristaltic mix pump, the left side of the
hose is the suction or pickup. The right side of the
hose is the discharge. Mix is drawn up the suction
side of the hose and transferred thru the discharge
side to the freezer (see Figure 23).
B.Air Operation: The air compressor operates whenever
the peristaltic mix pump is running. Air enters thru a
check valve on the piston downstroke. The air is
discharged thru a second check valve, on the piston
upstroke. The air and mix join at the tee and then
travel to the freezer.
C.The over-run adjustment is preset at the factory. If an
adjustment becomes necessary, refer to Section 4.
NOTICE
Any cleaning procedure must always be followed
by sanitizing before filling freezer with mix. (Refer to
section 3.3)
3.13 MIX PUMP CLEANING
The mix pump is approved for CIP (clean in place) and is
thoroughly cleaned as cleaning solutions are pumped thru
the freezer. We recommend completely disassembling
the pump and connecting tubing every 14 days for inspection
of parts to confirm the CIP has been properly performed. If
any residue is detected clean or replace those parts as
outlined below.
1. Place the OFF-ON switch in the ON position and
press the CLEAN switch. Allow the auger to agitate
for 5 to 10 minutes.
2. Remove suction tube from mix container. Draw off the
mix remaining in freezer barrel.
3. Pump 2 gallons (7.5 liters) of cold potable water thru
freezer until water at spigot is free of mix.
4. Pump 2 gallons (7.5 liters) of 90° to 110°F (32°C to
43°C) detergent solution water thru freezer. The use
of soft water is recommended, along with dishwashing
detergents such as “Joy ,” “Dawn,” or equivalent.
5. Place mix pump switch in OFF position. Open spigot
to relieve remaining pressure.
6. Press the CLEAN switch to stop the auger and place
the OFF-ON toggle switch in the OFF position.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 PRODUCT CONSISTENCY ADJUSTMENT
The freezer's control system monitors the consistency
(firmness) of the product (mix) in each freezing cylinder.
The program module senses the consistency of the product and shuts off the drive motor and refrigeration system
when the pre-programmed consistency is reached. The
control panels on the front of the freezer allow the operator
to adjust each freezing cylinder to create the desired
product consistency.
A. Place the Main Freezer Power and Freezing Cylinder
OFF/ON switches in the ON position.
B. Press the SET button on the Control Panel once.
Fine Adj will appear on the LCD screen.
C. Press the up arrow button
tency setting is displayed. The higher the number, the
greater the product consistency. The control may be set
from 1 to 9. Each time the up arrow
pressed, the value will increase by 1 until the value
reaches 9, then restart at 0. The 0 setting cannot be set.
D. Press the SET button once to save the setting change

4.3 OVERRUN ADJUSTMENT
The product when served is a combination of air and mix.
Overrun is a measure of the amount of air blended into the
mix.
Overrun can be expressed in terms of the amount of weight
loss for a given volume. For example, if a pint of liquid mix
weighs 18 ounces (510 grams) and a pint of frozen product
with air added weighs 12 ounces (340 grams), the overrun
is said to be 50 percent "18 oz. (510 grams) - 12 oz. (340
grams) = 6 oz. (170 grams)", (6 /12) x 100 = 50%.
The overrun can be checked by placing a one pint
container on an ice cream scale and zeroing out the scale.
Then fill a one pint container with frozen product. The
container should be filled over the top and leveled with a
straightedge. The product should not contain any air
pockets. When weighed on an ice cream scale, one pint
(473 milliliters) of product should weigh 12 to 13 ounces
(340 to 368,5 grams).
The mix pump has been preset at the factory to produce
a product with approximately 40% overrun. Because of
differences in mix formulation, temperatures and barometric pressure, this figure may vary. It will be necessary for
approximately 2 gallons (7,5 liters) of mix to be pumped thru
the freezer before changes in the product are noticeable
due to adjustments in overrun.
Overrun is controlled by the length of the air compressor
piston stroke within the piston cylinder. Lengthening the
stroke within the cylinder will increase overrun. Conversely, shortening the stroke will decrease overrun. To
perform an overrun adjustment, refer to the following
procedure:
Figure 28. Product Conststency Control
4.2 LOCKING OUT CONTROL PANEL

4.11 TROUBLESHOOTING
ERROR CONDITION CODE 01
If the control panel displays a program board error (Error
Code 01), place the Freezing Cylinder Off-On Switch in the
Off position, wait 10 seconds, and return the switch to the
On position. If the Control Panel still displays the error
condition code, call your Authorized Stoelting Distributor
for further assistance.
ERROR CONDITION CODE 02
If the control panel displays a high torque error (Error Code
02), the controller has sensed that the product in the
freezing cylinder has reached 125% of set consistency for
10 or more seconds. This condition may be caused if the
product consistency adjustment has been set too high. To
remedy this condition, place the Freezing Cylinder Off-On
Switch in the Off position, wait until the product in the
freezing cylinder has had adequate time to thaw to a
reasonably soft consistency, and return the switch to the
On position. Follow the Product Consistency Adjustment
procedures at the begining of this section and reduce the
Fine Adjustment value by a few points. If the Control Panel
still displays the error condition code, call your Authorized
Stoelting Distributor for further assistance.
ERROR CONDITION CODE 03
Extended run time errors (Error Code 03) are often times
caused by the mix running too low in the freezer’s mix
container, or if a restriction is preventing the mix from
entering the freezing cylinder. Check the mix level on the
affected freezing cylinder. If the level mix is low, add mix.
Look for ice crystals in the liquid mix container. Ice crystals
can clog the mix inlet system, and prevent mix from entering
the freezing cylinder. If you find ice crystals in the mix,
check the temperature of the walk-in cooler where the mix
is stored and the temperature of the freezer’s cab. If the
freezer’s cab is below 34°F (1°C), call your Stoelting
Authorized Distributor for assistance in adjusting the
freezer cab temperature.
Check the condition of the neoprene hose running through
the mix pump head. If it shows signs of wear, rotate or
replace it as outlined in Section 2.5 of this manual.
Excessive compressor run time may also occur if the
condenser filter is dirty, or if the condenser is obstructed.
Check the top of the freezer, to be sure nothing has been
placed on top of the condenser.
After the cause of the problem is found and remedied,
place the Freezing Cylinder Off-On Switch in the Off
position, wait 10 seconds, and return the switch to the On
position. If the Control Panel still displays the error
condition code, call your Authorized Stoelting Distributor
for further assistance.
ERROR CONDITION CODE 04
If the freezer is left in the Clean Mode for more than 20
minutes, the control panel will display a Clean Error (Error
04). This condition does not reflect a problem with the
freezer itself. The Clean Error has been programmed into
the controller as a safeguard to protect the freezer from
potential damage caused by the freezer being accidentally
left in the clean mode. To remedy the Clean Error, place
the Freezing Cylinder Off-On Switch in the Off position,
wait 10 seconds, and return the switch to the On position.
If the Control Panel still displays the error condition code,
call your Authorized Stoelting Distributor for further assistance.
ERROR CONDITION CODE 05
If the control panel displays a Freezing Cylinder Sensor
error (Error Code 05), place the Freezing Cylinder Off-On
Switch in the Off position, wait 10 seconds, and return the
switch to the On position. If the Control Panel still displays
the error condition code, call your Authorized Stoelting
Distributor for further assistance.
NOTE
When the freezer encounters a Freezing Cylinder Sensor
Error, the freezer will automatically be switched to run on
pre-configured timing cycles. This mode will allow you to
continue serving product until the freezer can be serviced.
ERROR CONDITION CODE 07
If the control panel displays a Drive Motor Current error
(Error Code 07), place the Freezing Cylinder Off-On
Switch in the Off position, wait 10 seconds, and return the
switch to the On position. If the Control Panel still displays
the error condition code, call your Authorized Stoelting
Distributor for further assistance.
ERROR CONDITION CODE 08
If the control panel displays a Cab Sensor error (Error
Code 08), place the Freezing Cylinder Off-On Switch in the
Off position, wait 10 seconds, and return the switch to the
On position. If the Control Panel still displays the error
condition code, call your Authorized Stoelting Distributor
for further assistance.

ERROR CONDITION CODE 09
Error 09 conditions are usually caused by insufficient
cooling at the freezer's condenser. If the control panel
displays a High Pressure Cutout error (Error Code 09),
turn the freezer power off. Press the High Pressure Cutout
Reset Switch located on the upper, left hand corner of the
left side panel. There is a round, black boot covering the
reset switch. Pressing in the center of the boot will reset
the switch.
In air cooled condenser models, check the air filter to make
sure it is clean (see section 4.6). Replace the filter as
required. Check for proper air clearance around the
freezer. The freezer must have a minimum of 3" (7,5cm)
of space on all sides and 10" (25cm) at the top for proper
circulation. A minimum of 6" (15cm) clearance is required
in high ambient conditions.
On water cooled condenser models, check for proper
waterflow through the condenser coil. After the cause of
the error is determined and corrected, turn on the Main
Freezer Power Switch and place the Freezing Cylinder
switch to the on position. If the Control Panel still displays
the error condition code, call your Authorized Stoelting
Distributor for further assistance.
ALTERNATING FLASHING CONTROL PANEL LIGHTS
When the Main Freezer Power Switch is placed in the
ON position and the left Freezing Cylinder OFF/ON switch
is left in the OFF position, the green and amber control
panel lights will flash in alternating sequence. This indicates that the storage cabinet is being refrigerated, but
the left freezing cylinder is not receiving power. Placing
the left Freezing Cylinder OFF/ON switch in the ON position will return the freezing cylinder to the SLEEP mode.
Pressing the PUSH TO FREEZE button will begin the
freezing cycle.
