ELECTRO FREEZE

Product Preparation

DO NOT use the freezer for purposes
other than freezing a "slush" product
or cocktail mix. DO NOT attempt to
freeze plain water. This will result in
damage to the freezer.
1. Use a container of sufficient capacity
and with gallon measurement
markings to accurately mix in
quantities required by the product
manufacturer's instructions.
2. Prepare at least 5 gallons (18.9L) of
mix. Follow the directions exactly as
shown on product label.
EXAMPLE: If using a powdered
neutral base, add contents of
package, 5 lbs. (2.3 kg) of sugar,

Priming

Priming the freezer removes excess air from the freezing cylinder and sets the proper
consistency for the first cylinder of product.
1. While holding the piston open, pour
the mix directly into the hopper,
allowing the mix to force out any
remaining sanitizer (approximately 8
ounces or 250 ml).
2. When pure mix appears (all sanitizer
has been expelled), close the piston.
Failure to completely remove sanitizer
or water from the freezing cylinder
before placing in "FREEZE" will
damage the freezer.
3. Remove the air bleed plug and allow
cylinder to fill with mix. Replace air
plug when mix reaches bottom of air
plug opening.
4. Finish filling the hopper with mix. The
freezer will hold 8.5 gallons—3.5
gallons in the freezer cylinder
and 5 gallons in the hopper. (32.3
Liters—13.2 L in cylinder and 18.9 L
in reservoir.)

Important:
Important:
and just enough cold water to equal
5 gallons (18.9 L) of mix. Never add
more water than instructions call for.
NOTE: The product should
register between 11-13% Brix on a
refractometer or a hydrometer. Never
go below 11. (See Section 10.3)
3. You may precool the slush mix
and thereby gain added capacity in
your freezer, if desired. Cool at 36°F
(2°C) — DO NOT FREEZE.
4. Always thoroughly stir mix before
filling machine. Ingredients can
separate over time and change Brix
reading.
NOTE: Do not allow the level of mix in
the hopper to fall below 1/3 full.
5. Turn the selector switch to the
"FREEZE" position.
6. Place the hopper cover over the
hopper.
7. When the mix has been frozen to the
proper consistency, the compressor
will automatically shut off. It will restart
whenever the product consistency
changes. The beater will run
continuously.
8. See Section 11, Slush Product
Information, for determining
consistency and making adjustments.
9. If your slush mix is above 70°F
(21°C), it will take approximately 30
minutes to freeze down to the proper
consistency.
