solution. Rinse with clean hot water.
3.5 SANITIZE FREEZER AND FREEZER PARTS
A. Use a sanitizer mixed 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 the sanitizer to
contact the surfaces to be sanitized for 5 minutes. Any
sanitizer must be used only in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
D. Install the two plastic agitator blades onto the agitator.
Install front agitator bearing.
E. Push the auger into the freezer barrel and rotate slowly
until the agitator engages the drive.

3.7 SANITIZING
Sanitizing must be done after the freezer is clean and just
before filling with mix. Sanitizing the night before is not
effective. However, you should always clean the freezer
and parts after using it.
B. Place all parts in the sanitizing solution, then remove
and let air dry.
3.6 ASSEMBLY OF FREEZER
To assemble the freezer parts, refer to the following steps:
NOTE
Petro-Gel sanitary lubricant or equivalent must be
used when lubrication of parts is specified.
NOTE
The United States Department of Agriculture and
the Food and Drug Administration require that lubricants used on food processing equipment be certified for this use. Use lubricants only in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
A. Assemble all "O" Rings onto parts dry, without lubrica
tion. Then apply a thin film of sanitary lubrication to
exposed surfaces of the "O" Rings. Apply a thin film of
sanitary lubricant on the fron tof the agitator shaft.
B. Assembly the rear seal assembly onto the agitator. Be
sure the "O" Rings and gaskets are in place before
installing the rear seal.
WARNING
THE UNITED ST ATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUL TURE AND FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION REQUIRE THAT ALL CLEANING AND SANITIZING SOLUTIONS USED WITH FOOD PROCESSING EQUIPMENT BE CERTIFIED FOR THIS
USE. USE "STERA-SHEEN" OR EQUIVALENT.
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.
NOTE
Stoelting, Inc. 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. For further information read
the directions on the packet. Other products may
be as effective.

CAUTION
PROLONGED CONTACT OF SANITIZER WITH
FREEZER MA Y CAUSE CORROSION OF ST AINLESS STEEL P ARTS.

A. Prepare 2 gallons (7.5 liters) of sanitizing solution
following manufacturer's instructions.
B. Pour sanitizer into hopper.
C. Place the CLEAN OFF ON switch in the CLEAN
position. Check for leaks around the front door seal.
D. After five mintues, open spigot to drain sanitizing
solution. When solution has drained, place the CLEAN
OFF ON switch in the OFF position. Allow the freezer
barrel to drain completely.

When on, the light transformer is operational and the lights
illuminate.
5.2 SWITCHES
On/Off/Clean Mode
Switch Switch
Position Position Sequence of Operations
Clean Serve -Drive Motor and Condenser Fan Motor start and run together,
or No time limit exists.
Standby -Power Transformer, torque switch, compressor, liquid level
control, and mix low light are non-operational.
On Serve -Drive Motor and Condenser Fan start and run together
continuously.
-Power Transformer is on.
-Liquid level control and mix low light are operational.
-With liquid mix or loose slush in the freezing cylinder, the torque
switch is closed. The delay-on-make timer starts the compressor
after a 10-30 second delay.
-When the slush reaches consistency, the torque switch opens
and the compressor immediately shuts off. The drive motor and
condenser fan motor continue to run.
On Standby -Power transformer, liquid level control and mix low light are
operational only when the temperature control is closed.
-Drive motor, condenser fan motor, and compressor cycle on and
off with the temperature control (compressor start delays 10-30
seconds).
NOTE
If the temperature control is set too cold, control will default to the torque switch to prevent freeeze-up.
5.3 SAFETY SWITCH
Door Switch - If the front door is removed, the freezer will not function.
Motor Internal Thermostat - If the motor overheats, the freezer will not function.
Warning - The motor internal thermostat automatically resets as the motor cools. The freezer will automatically
restart. Disconnect freezer from power source for servicing.
High Pressure Cutout Switch - If the compressor discharge pressure exceeds 470 PSIG, the freezer will not
function.
