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 barrel reaches the proper
temperature.
B. OFF-ON SWITCH
The OFF-ON switch is a two position toggle switch
used to supply power to the control circuit. When the
switch is in the OFF position, nothing will run. When
the switch is in the ON position the freezer will be in
the idle mode until a switch is activated.
C. PUSH TO FREEZE SWITCH
The PUSH TO FREEZE switch is a "snap" switch used
to start the freezing cycle. During initial freeze down,
the OFF-ON switch is placed in the ON position. Then
the PUSH TO FREEZE switch is pressed until the
drive motor and compressor come "ON".
NOTICE
After the gearmotor starts, there is a 3 second delay before the compressor starts.
During the normal operation, the red PUSH TO FREEZE
switch light will illuminate after the freezer has been
idle for the preset cycles. Before drawing product,
press the PUSH TO FREEZE switch if it is illuminated.
Wait until the green light is illuminated before dispens-
ing.
NOTICE
If the freezer shuts off and the PUSH TO FREEZE
light flashes, you have an error condition. Turn the
OFF-ON switch to the OFF position, correct the
problem and turn the freezer back on. (See Troubleshooting.)
D. GREEN LIGHT
The green light is used to indicate that the product has
reached the proper temperature and is ready to be

light will flash indicating the freezer is in the CLEAN
mode. To exit the CLEAN mode turn the OFF-ON
switch to the OFF position. If the freezer is left in
CLEAN for more than 30 minutes or is pushed three
times in ten seconds, it will go in error. To reset place
the CLEAN-OFF-ON switch in the ON position and
allow the error light to flash a minimum of 10 minutes.
Then turn to off, wait 5 seconds and turn on.
When sanitizing the freezer, refer to local sanitary 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 (7.5 liters) of 120°F water.
Allow sanitizer to contact the surfaces to be sanitized for
5 minutes. Any sanitizer must be used only in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
NOTICE
Stoelting, LLC has found that STERA-SHEEN
GREEN LABEL SANITIZER AND CLEANER does
an effective job of properly sanitizing and cleaning a
soft serve freezer. We therefore include a sample
with each new freezer. Other products may be as
effective. For further information refer to cleaning and
sanitizing information Section 3.13.

A. Sanitize just prior to use.
B. Place the OFF-ON switch in the OFF position.
C. With spigot 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.
D. Fill hopper with approximately 5 gallons (19 liters) of
pre-chilled (40°F or 4°C) mix.
NOTICE
Do not overfill the hopper. Mix level must not be higher than
the air inlet tube on the mix inlet regulator.
E. The freezer barrel will automatically fill until it is about
1/2 full. If freezer barrel does not fill, check for obstruction in the mix inlet regulator. If freezer barrel fills over
1/2 full, check for leaks at the mix inlet regulator Oring or check if the mix inlet regulator was installed
correctly or that the freezer is level.

F. Place the OFF-ON switch in the ON position, then
press the PUSH TO FREEZE switch until the freezer
starts.
NOTICE
After the gearmotor starts, there is a 3 second delay before the compressor starts.
G. After about 7 to 10 minutes the freezer will shut OFF
and the green light will illuminate indicating the product
is ready to serve. Freeze down time may be longer for
some mixes. High ambient temperatures may extend
freeze down time.
H. For normal dispensing, move the spigot handle fully
open. (Fig. 11).
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.
Proper product serving temperature varies from one
manufacturer's mix to another. Shake mixes range from
24° to 28°F (-4° to -2°C).
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 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).
Some products tend to foam more than others. If excess
foam should occur, skim off with a sanitized utensil and
discard. Periodically, stir the mix in the hopper with a
sanitized utensil.
Figure 11. Dispensing Product
NOTICE
Refrigeration is automatically activated when the spigot is
opened. Close the spigot completely after dispensing.
I.The freezer is designed to dispense the product at a
reasonable draw rate. If the freezer is overdrawn, the
result is a very thin product. If this should occur, allow
the freezer to run for approximately 30 seconds before
dispensing additional product. After a while the opera-
tor 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.
J.Do not operate the freezer when the MIX LOW light is
on or with less than 1-3/4 inches (4.4 cm) of mix in the
hopper. Refill the hopper immediately.

Page 22
It is recommended that a maintenance schedule be followed to keep the freezer clean and operating properly.
A. Cleaning and Sanitizing Information
Soft serve freezers require special consideration
when it comes to food safety and proper cleaning
and sanitizing.
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.
Soil Materials Associated with 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 buildup.
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.
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.
CLEANING
·Is the removal of soil materials from a surface.
·Is a prerequisite for effective sanitizing.
NOTICE
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.
SANITIZING
·Kills bacteria.
·Can be effective on clean surfaces only.
·DOES NOT clean or remove milkstone.
NOTICE
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
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
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.
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.
·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 and handling them
requires safety
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.
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.
The ideal concentration of chlorine needs to be 100
ppm (as stated by the FDA).
Follow the directions on the container for proper
concentration.
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.
3.13 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
A. 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.
With proper daily use of STERA-SHEEN or it’ s
equivalent, there is
DELIMER.
DO NOT USE BLEACH
·BBLEACH HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CLEANING
PROPERTIES.
·BBLEACH IS CORROSIVE. It can and will
damage components of the machine causing
premature wear and metal corrosion.
GENERAL PURPOSE CLEANERS
GGeneral purpose cleanersdo not have the ability to
remove milkstone. Milkstone will become a problem
if not remedied with additional products and
procedures.
no need for the use of a
CAUTION
Acid-based cleaners, strong caustic componds
and abrasive cleansers will damage plastic
freezer parts and exterior panels. Use mild, alkaline cleansers only.
B. WEEKLY
1.Check O-rings and rear seal for excessive
wear and replace if necessary.
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.

C. MONTHLY
CAUTION
The freezer has an air cooled condenserand must
have proper air circulation. Maintain a minimum
of 3" clearance at all louvered panels. Failure to
clean the condenser filter on a regular basis and
provide proper clearance may result in serious
freezer damage and may void any factory warranties.
2. Lubricate condenser fan motor with S.A.E. 20 weight
oil. Three to six drops is required.
3.14 EXTENDED STORAGE
Refer to the following steps for storage of the freezer over
any long period of shutdown time:
A. Turn the OFF-ON switch to the OFF position.
B. Disconnect (unplug) from the electrical supply source.
1. Remove the condenser filter by lifting up and pulling
bottom out and down. Then clean with warm soapy
water. Rinse in clean water and shake dry, taking
care not to damage the filter in any way.
2. Replace the condenser filter.
D. SEMIANNUALLY
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 panels removed.
WARNING
Moving machine parts can grab, mangle, dismember and cause severe crushing injury. Turn
off and lock out main power disconnect before
cleaning or servicing. Do not operate machine
with cabinet panels removed.
C. Clean thoroughly with a warm detergent all parts that
come in contact with the mix. Rinse in clean water and
dry parts. Do not sanitize.
NOTICE
Do not let the cleaning solution stand in the hopper or in
the freezer barrel during the shutdown period.
D. Remove, disassemble and clean the front door, mix
inlet regulator and auger parts. Place the auger flights
and the front auger support bushing in a plastic bag
with a moist paper towel to prevent them from becoming brittle.
1. Check drive belt for proper tension. Push belt in with
one finger, belt should deflect about 3/8".
CAUTION
Do not over-lubricate condenser fan motor. Excess oil may damage motor and void any factory
warranties.
Clean Error 04: Allow freezer to remain on (light blinking) with the power switch in the
ON position for ten (10) minutes minimum. Next, place the power switch in the
OFFposition for five (5) seconds minimum, then place the power switch in the ON
position to restart freezer. All other errors turn power switch off for five (5) seconds
minimum. Then place the power switch in the ON position to restart freezer.
