3.3 OPERATING CONTROLS
It is required that the operator know the function of each
control or component on the freezer before operating. Refer
to Fig.8 for the location of the operating controls.
3.4 SPIGOT SWITCH
The SPIGOT SWITCH will automatically activate the auger drive and refrigeration system when the spigot switch
is opened to draw product.
3.5 DRIVE MOTOR OVERLOAD
The internal DRIVE MOTOR OVERLOAD will trip if the
drive motor is overloaded. It will reset after approximately
10-12 minutes. If the drive motor continues to trip, refer to
troubleshooting.
3.6 POWER SWITCH (Clean-Off-Serve)
The POWER switch is a three-position toggle switch used
to control the operation of the refrigeration system and
auger. When the switch is placed in the CLEAN position,
the refrigeration system will be off and the auger will rotate for cleaning.
When the switch is placed in the OFF position, the refrigeration system and the auger are inoperative. When the
switch is placed in the SERVE position, the refrigeration
system and auger will be controlled automatically. The
switch must be placed in the SERVE position for normal
operation.
3.10 DISPENSE RATE ADJUSTER
The dispense rate adjuster limits the opening of the spigot.
To adjust product dispense rate, turn the adjusting knob
clockwise for slower flow and counter-clockwise for faster
flow.
3.11 HIGH PRESSURE CUT OUT
If the head pressure exceeds 405 PSIG the high head
pressure cut out will trip. The reset button can be accessed from the lower front of the freezer.
3.12 SANITIZING PROCEDURES
For sanitizing to be effective, it must be performed after
the mix pump and freezer parts have been cleaned, and
just prior to filling the hopper or storage container with
mix. Sanitizing the night before is not effective.
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.
3.7 FREEZING SWITCH
The FREEZING switch is a two-position toggle switch used
to control the operation of the auger drive and refrigeration
system. When the switch is placed in the MAXIMUM position, the freezer will continue to run for a minimum of 30
seconds after the spigot is closed. This time cycle provides make-up cooling periods of heavy dispensing. Heavy
dispensing is drawing more than 18 ounces (.53 liters) in
one minute.
When the switch is placed in the NORMAL position, the
freezer will continue to run for a minimum of 5 seconds
after the spigot is closed. This time cycle is to be used
during periods of normal dispensing. Normal dispensing
is drawing less than 18 ounce (.53 liters) in one minute.
NOTE
Do not leave the switch in the MAXIMUM position
during slow or moderate dispensing as the product
temperature will become too cold.
3.8 DOOR INTERLOCK SWITCH
When the door is securely fastened the freezer will operate normally. When the door is removed the drive and
compressor will not run.
3.9 REMOTE PUMP SWITCH
The OFF-ON REMOTE PUMP SWITCH is a two-position
switch. When wired in series with the model 219 or U3
REMOTE PUMP OFF, pump operation can be controlled
from the front of the freezer. With the 219 or U3 REMOTE
PUMP OFF-ON SWITCH in the ON position, place the
OFF-ON pump switch in the ON position and the pump
will start. Place the OFF-ON switch in the OFF position
and the pump will stop.

NOTE
Stoelting has found that stera-sheen green label
sanitizer and cleaner does an effective job of properly sanitizing and cleaning soft serve freezers. A
sample is included with each new freezer. Read directions on packet, for more information. Other products may be as effective.
CAUTION
PROLONGED CONTACT OF SANITIZER WITH
FREEZER MAY CAUSE CORROSION OF STAINLESS STEEL PARTS.
F.Check for leaks at three points when the freezer
barrel is first pressurized with sanitizing solution.
1. Check for leaks at the plastic front door O-rings
may not be sealing.
2. Open access door on the side panel. Make sure
the rear seal is not leaking.
3. Check in the hopper (hopper models) to see that
no bubbles are around the discharge end of the
mix transfer tube.
ANY DISINFECTANT MUST BE USED ONLY IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER’S
INSTRUCTIONS. IN GENERAL, SANITIZING MAY
BE CONDUCTED AS FOLLOWS:
A.Clean and lubricate parts.
B.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.
G.Using a sanitized soft bristle brush or equivalent,
dipped in sanitizing solution, clean mix container
(remote models) or sides of hopper, exterior of pump,
and underside of hopper cover (hopper models).
H.After five minutes, open spigot to expel sanitizing
solution. Drain all solution from freezer.
I.Close the spigot and place the mix pump switch and
the POWER switch in the OFF position.
The freezer is now sanitized and ready for adding mix.
3.13 INITIAL FREEZE DOWN AND OPERATION
This section covers the recommended operating procedures to be followed for the safe operation of the freezer.
A.Sanitize just prior to use according to instructions in
section 3.11.
B.Prepare the desired amount of mix and then fill hop-
per (hopper models) or storage container (remote
models) with approximately three gallons (11 liters)
or more of mix.
Air
Bleed
Figure 9. Air Bleed
Sanitizer must be used only in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. Pour into hopper (hopper models) or storage container (remote models).
C.Place the mix pump switch in the ON position and
open air bleed valve on the front door by pushing
valve in and holding. (See Fig.9)
D.Let sanitizing solution fill the freezer barrel to air bleed
valve, then close the valve by pulling out to lock in
place.
E.Place the MAIN DRIVE switch in the CLEAN
position.
NOTE
Hopper models must not be filled to more than 2"
(5 cm) from the top.
Pump Switch
Figure 10. Pump Switch
12
C.Place the mix pump switch, located on the mix pump,
in the ON position. Immediately open the spigot and
let approximately 8 ounces (.2 liters) of liquid mix
with sanitizing solution, drain out of the spigot.
NOTE
Model 237R freezers have pump switches located
on the side of the upper front panel. (See Fig.10)
D.Close the spigot and open the air bleed valve on the
front door by pushing the valve in and holding. Allow
the barrel to fill until the mix level is 1/2 inch (12.7
mm) below air bleed valve, then release valve and
pull closed to lock in place.
E.Start the compressor and drive motor by placing the
main drive switch in the SERVE position.
F.The product will be ready to serve after the compres-
sor has cycled on and off repeatedly or in approximately 12 minutes for soft serve and 30 minutes for
shake.
G.Soft serve refrigeration (217 and 237R) is automati-
cally actuated when the spigot is opened. For normal dispensing, open the spigot no more than 90°.
(This is when the handle knob is pointing directly
away from the front door.) This position provides
excellent control over the product and aids in
making desired shaped portions. Close the spigot
completely after dispensing.
1. The soft serve freezer is designed to dispense
the product at the constant draw rate of one pint
(.47 liters) every 37 seconds. This rate assumes
the mix is supplied to the freezing cylinder at
41° F (5.0° C) or less and the product is dispensed
at 17° F (-8.3° C) or higher, with a nominal over
run of 40%. A higher mix supply temperature, a
lower product temperature, or a lower overrun will
result in a reduced draw rate. Also, some mixes
with a high water content will result in reduced
draw rates.
2. It is possible to overdraw, if the dispense rate
exceeds the freezer's designed freezing capac
ity for extended periods. If the freezer is
over drawn, the result will be a soft product
and an air "popping" sound heard at the
freezing cylinder. During normal operation it
is not necessary to be overly concerned about
capacity. But if there is an order for six shakes
at one time, each using 9 ounces (.26 liters) of
product, it should be considered as 54 ounces
(1.60 liters) of product. Approximately two
minutes must be allowed for a drawing of this
volume. Experienced operators will notice
when the freezer is beginning to fall behind, and
will slow down the rate of draw so as not to
exceed the capacity.
H.Shake refrigeration (Model 225R) is automatically
actuated when the spigot is opened. To start the
spinner rotating, you must depress the foot pedal
(some models). When dispensing a product, open
the spigot fully, quickly and completely, filling the
cup in one operation. Slow dispensing, or progres-
sively filling the cup in several steps, may
result in undesirable redution in product
temperature. After dispensing a product, the freezer
will run for 5-20 seconds to freeze new product that
has entered the barrel.
1. The shake freezer is designed to dispense the
product at a constant draw rate of one pint (.47
liters) every 19 seconds. This rate assumes the
mix is supplied to the freezing cylinder at 41° F
(5.0° C) or less and the product is dispensed at
27° F (-3.3° C) or higher, with a nominal overrun
of 50-55%. A higher mix supply temperature, a
lower product temperature, or a lower overrun will
result in a reduced draw rate.
2. It is possible to overdraw, if rate is exceeded for
extended periods. If the freezer is overdrawn,
the result will be a soft product and an air
"popping" sound heard at the freezing cylin
der. During normal operation it is not nec-
essary to be overly concerned about capacity.
But if there is an order for six shakes at one time,
each using 9 ounces (.26 liters) of product, it
should be considered as 54 ounces (1.60 liters)
of product. Experienced operators will notice when
the freezer is beginning to fall behind, and will
slow down the rate of draw so as not to exceed
the capacity.
I.Air-cooled, self-contained shake and soft serve freez-
ers are designed to operate in 90° F (32° C) maximum ambient air temperature. Higher temperatures
will result in reduced capacity.
J.On hopper models, when the float in the liquid level
indicator is all the way down, there is approximately
two gallons (7.57 liters) of mix left in the hopper. If
mix runs out, excessive overrun will result in air pops
and unsalable product. Keep the hopper full at night
to aid in proper cooling.
3.14 REMOVING MIX FROM THE FREEZER
This cleaning procedure must be followed each time the
freezer is to be shut off for an extended period such as
overnight or on non-business days.
A.Place the mix pump in the OFF position. Pull pickup
hose from mix source.
B.Draw desired frozen mix from freezer. Close spigot.
C.Place POWER switch in CLEAN position. (20 min-
utes maximum)
13
Allow the mix to agitate in freezer barrel until the mix has
become a liquid.
D.Place the mix pump in the ON position. Open spigot
and pump liquid mix through the freezer. When empty,
place main drive switch and the mix pump switches
in the OFF position.
E.Close spigot and fill hopper (hopper models) with
approximately two gallons of cold tap water.
NOTE
On remote models, place mix pump suction tube
into the pail of cold tap water.
K.Open spigot to expel water. When the hopper or pail
is empty, place the mix pump switch and main drive
switch in the OFF position. Allow freezer barrel to
drain completely.
L.Repeat steps E-K using mild detergent solution.
M.Repeat steps E-K using 120 to 130° F (49-54° C) hot
rinse water.
