SECTION 1 DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS 1.1 DESCRIPTION The Stoelting O431 fl oor model machine is pressure fed. The machine is equipped with fully automatic controls to provide a uniform product. The machine is designed to operate with almost any type of commercial soft-serve or non-dairy mixes available, including ice milk, ice cream, yogurt, and frozen dietary desserts.
1.3 MODES OF NORMAL OPERATION Following are details of the operational modes on the O431. NOTE: The preset amounts, times, and temperatures listed below are references to actual settings on the IntelliTec control. Refer to Table 1-1 on page 6 for details on each setting.
The “Standby Mode” maintains product quality during slow times, while minimizing reactivation time. This mode lasts for a preset time (Stb Time). Once this time has been reached without user interruption, the control moves into the “Sleep 1 Mode”. Refer to Figure 1-4 for a graphical representation of the “Standby Mode”.
H. CLEAN MODE A. SERVE AND STANDBY MODE When the CLEAN button is pressed, freezing cylinder In the event of a temperature sensor failure on a freezing refrigeration stops, the drive motor starts and will run for cylinder, the IntelliTec control will function in two modes, 20 minutes, and a 5 minute countdown timer is displayed.

5.6 EVAPORATOR WARNING The O431 has two freezing cylinder evaporators and a cab evaporator. Hazardous voltage EVAPORATOR TESTING The Main Freezer Power switch must be placed in the OFF position when disassembling for servicing. The evaporator can be checked for leaks using the bubble The machine must be disconnected from electrical test or using a leak detector.
If the pressure reading is higher than expected, Tighten clamp to 20 in/lb using a torque wrench. check to see if there is an overcharge of refrigerant. Replace insulation to the TXV and surrounding If the pressure reading is lower than expected, lines.
HIGH PRESSURE CUTOUT REMOVAL Remove the panels. Recover refrigerant charge per instructions in Section 5.2. Leave the suction and discharge ports open to prevent pressure buildup during removal. Unsweat the high pressure cutout from the discharge line. Disconnect the wires from the high pressure cutout.
Adjust the hot gas bypass valve to 18 psig ±1. Connect the machine to the electrical supply, start the refrigeration cycle, and read the pressure. Wait 2 minutes to ensure pressure remains stable. The proper gauge reading should be 225-235 psig. Hand-tighten seal cap to valve.

Error Code 5 - Freezing Cylinder Sensor Error Code 6 - Hopper Sensor (single hopper machines) The Freezing Cylinder Sensor Error (E5) indicates The Hopper Sensor Error (E6) will not occur on a failure of the barrel sensor or an extreme out of the O431 machine.
Page 57
Error Code 11 - Low Temperature The Low Temperature Error (E11) occurs when the temperature of the gas refrigerant at the freezing cylinder sensor falls below -20°F. Although the machine will not shut down, the active freezing cycle will immediately end. This error usually occurs when the machine continues to run in a low mix condition or if the machine runs out of mix.
