3.4 FREEZE DOWN AND OPERATION

This section covers the recommended operating proce-
dures to be followed for the safe operation of the freezer.
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.
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 obstruc-
tion in the mix inlet regulator. If freezer barrel fills over
1/2 full, check for leaks at the mix inlet regulator "O"
Ring 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
