Reset Button

If an overload condition occurs, the freezer will
automatically stop operating. To properly reset the
freezer:
1. Place the toggle switch in the OFF position.
2. Wait two or three minutes, then press the reset
button.
3. Place the power switch in the WASH position and
observe the freezer's performance.
4. Place the power switch in the AUTO position.
Note: If the freezer is unplugged from the wall
receptacle, it will be necessary to press the reset button
for the freezer to operate once power is re-established.

Power Switch

The center position is OFF. The left position is WASH,
which activates only the beater motor. The right position
is AUTO, which activates the beater motor and the
refrigeration system.

Feed Tube

Models 150, 152, 162, and 168 are called upon to handle
a large variety of products (i.e., soft serve, yogurts, Italian
ices, sherbets, etc.). Thus, the consistency of the mix you
use will vary. The feed tube meters a combination of mix
and air into the freezing cylinder. If not enough mix enters
the freezing cylinder, a freeze-up may occur, which will
cause eventual damage to the beater. Depending upon
the product you are running, you may wish to contact
your local Taylor-authorized distributor to make a slight
adjustment to the feed tube.

Note: During Auto operation, the orifice end of the tube
should be inserted in the hole in the hopper.

Taylor Quality Control

These machines use a solid state control called the TQC.
The purpose of this solid state control is to sense the
viscosity (thickness) of the product in the freezing
cylinder. With the power switch in the AUTO position, the
TQC will automatically keep the mix in the freezing
cylinder at the proper viscosity and ready for serving.
Indicator Light—MIX LOW
A mix level indicating light is located at the front of the
machine. When the light is on, it indicates that the mix
hopper has a low supply of mix and should be refilled as
soon as possible. Always maintain at least 2 in. (5.1 cm)
of mix in the hopper. If you neglect to add mix, a 
freeze-up may occur. This will cause eventual damage to
the beater assembly and to the freezer door.

Mix Refrigeration Switch

The Mix Refrigeration switch is under the control channel
and is used for several purposes:
• For the machine to operate in the Auto mode, the mix
refrigeration switch must be ON.
• For the separate hopper refrigeration system to
operate, the mix refrigeration switch must be in the
ON or STANDBY positions.
• For the cylinder temperature retention system to
operate, the power switch must be in the AUTO
position, and the Mix Refrigeration switch must be in
the STANDBY position.

Separate Hopper Refrigeration (SHR)

This feature incorporates the use of a separate, small
refrigeration system to chill (on a limited basis) the mix in
the hopper and to maintain the mix's temperature below
40°F (4.4°C). It also ensures bacterial control. To activate
this system, place the power switch in the AUTO position
and the mix refrigeration switch in the ON position. To
operate this system in the Standby mode, place the
power switch in the AUTO position and the mix
refrigeration switch in the STANDBY position.
