Model 428To the Installer

Appliances that are permanently connected to
fixed wiring and for which leakage currents may
exceed 10 mA, particularly when disconnected or not
used for long periods, or during initial installation, shall
have protective devices such as a GFI, to protect
against the leakage of current, installed by the
authorized personnel to the local codes.

Supply cords used with this unit shall be
oil-resistant, sheathed flexible cable not lighter than
ordinary polychloroprene or other equivalent synthetic
elastomer-sheathed cord (Code designation 60245
IEC 57) installed with the proper cord anchorage to
relieve conductors from strain, including twisting, at
the terminals and protect the insulation of the
conductors from abrasion.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly
qualified person, in order to avoid a hazard.

Refrigerant

In consideration of our environment, Taylor
proudly uses only earth friendly HFC refrigerants. The
HFC refrigerant used in this unit is R404A. This
refrigerant is generally considered non-toxic and
non-flammable, with an Ozone Depleting Potential
(ODP) of zero (0).

However, any gas under pressure is potentially
hazardous and must be handled with caution.

NEVER fill any refrigerant cylinder completely with
liquid. Filling the cylinder to approximately 80% will
allow for normal expansion.

Use only R404A refrigerant that conforms to
the AHRI standard 700 specification. The use of any
other refrigerant may expose users and operators to
unexpected safety hazards.

Beater Rotation

Beater rotation must be clockwise as viewed

looking into the freezing cylinder.

Note: The following procedures should be
performed by a trained service technician.

To correct rotation on a single-phase unit, change the
leads inside the beater motor. (Follow the diagram
printed on motor.)

Refrigerant liquid sprayed onto the skin may
cause serious damage to tissue. Keep eyes and skin
protected. If refrigerant burns should occur, flush
immediately with cold water. If burns are severe, apply
ice packs and contact a physician immediately.

Taylor reminds technicians to be cautious of
government laws regarding refrigerant recovery,
recycling, and reclaiming systems. If you have any
questions regarding these laws, please contact the
factory Service Department.

WARNING: R404A refrigerant used in
conjunction with polyolester oils is extremely moisture
absorbent. When opening a refrigeration system, the
maximum time the system is open must not exceed 15
minutes. Cap all open tubing to prevent humid air or
water from being absorbed by the oil.

Section 2 To the Operator

The freezer you have purchased has been carefully
engineered and manufactured to give you dependable
operation. The Taylor Model 428, when properly
operated and cared for, will produce a consistent
quality product. Like all mechanical products, they will
require cleaning and maintenance. A minimum
amount of care and attention is necessary if the
operating procedures outlined in this manual are
followed closely.

This Operator’s Manual should be read before
operating or performing any maintenance on your
equipment.

Your Taylor freezer will NOT eventually compensate
for and correct any errors during the set-up or filling
operations. Thus, the initial assembly and priming
procedures are of extreme importance. It is strongly
recommended that personnel responsible for the
equipment’s operation, both assembly and
disassembly, sit down together and go through these
procedures in order to be properly trained and to make
sure that no misunderstandings exist.

In the event you should require technical assistance,
please contact your local authorized Taylor Distributor.

Note: Your Taylor warranty is valid only if the parts are
authorized T aylor parts, purchased from the local
authorized Taylor Distributor, and only if all required
service work is provided by an authorized Taylor
service technician. Taylor reserves the right to deny
warranty claims on units or parts if non- Taylor
approved parts or incorrect refrigerant were installed
in the unit, system modifications were performed
beyond factory recommendations, or it is determined
that the failure was caused by abuse, misuse, neglect,
or failure to follow all operating instructions. For full
details of your Taylor Warranty, please see the Limited
Warranty section in this manual.

Note: Constant research results in steady
improvements; therefore, information in this
manual is subject to change without notice.

If the crossed out wheeled bin symbol is
affixed to this product, it signifies that this product is
compliant with the EU Directive as well as other similar
legislation in effect after August 13, 2005. Therefore,
it must be collected separately after its use is

completed, and cannot be disposed as unsorted
municipal waste.

The user is responsible for returning the product to the
appropriate collection facility, as specified by your local
code.

For additional information regarding applicable local
laws, please contact the municipal facility and/or local
distributor.

Compressor Warranty Disclaimer

The refrigeration compressor(s) on this unit are
warranted for the term stated in the Limited Warranty
section in this manual. However, due to the Montreal
Protocol and the U.S. Clean Air Act Amendments of
1990, many new refrigerants are being tested and
developed, thus seeking their way into the service
industry. Some of these new refrigerants are being
advertised as drop- in replacements for numerous
applications. It should be noted that in the event of
ordinary service t o this unit’s refrigeration system,

only the refrigerant specified on the affixed data
label should be used. The unauthorized use of

alternate refrigerants will void your Taylor compressor
warranty. It is the unit owner’s responsibility to make
this fact known to any technician he employs.

It should also be noted that T aylor does not warrant the
refrigerant used in its equipment. For example, if the
refrigerant is lost during the course of ordinary service
to this machine, Taylor has no obligation to either
supply or provide its replacement either at billable or
unbillable terms. Taylor does have the obligation to
recommend a suitable replacement if the original
refrigerant is banned, obsoleted, or no longer available
during the five year warranty of the compressor.

Taylor will continue to monitor the industry and test
new alternates as they are being developed. Should a
new alternate prove, through our testing, that it would
be accepted as a drop-in replacement, then the above
disclaimer would become null and void. To find out the
current status of an alternate refrigerant as it relates to
your compressor warranty, call the local Taylor
Distributor or the Taylor Factory. Be prepared to
provide the Model/Serial Number of the unit in
question.
