2.2 INSTALLATION
Placing your Frozen Drink Machine in a highly visible area will enhance sales. A
suitable station will be able to support 250 pounds and will have a dedicated electrical
outlet.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to share the dedicated electrical outlet with any other
appliance; this will cause the circuit breaker to trip.
1. Uncrate your Frozen Drink Machine.
2. The unit must be placed on a sturdy platform able to hold the weight of the machine
when full of product. Level the machine by turning the adjustable part of the leg. The
machine must be level front to back as well as left to right.
3. This machine requires 8” clearance at the rear, 12” at the top and 0” on the sides.

NOTE: Locating the unit in direct sunlight, near cooking facilities or any high
heat area will reduce the performance of your machine.
CAUTION: Extended operations under severe heat condition can damage the cooling
system.
NOTE: Establishments that serve beverages from frozen drink machines are
responsible for providing the necessary facilities for cleaning and
sanitizing their food service equipment.
4. Place the three-position switch in the OFF position (center).
5. Connect to the water source & drain with water hoses that are provided. Connect the
power cord. The unit must be connected to a properly grounded receptacle. The
electrical cord furnished as part of the machine has a three or four prong grounding
type plug. The use of an extension cord is not recommended. If one must be used,

SECTION 3
OPERATION

3.1 MACHINE CONTROLS


Two selector switches located on the front of the machine control the operation of the
Frozen Drink Machine. Selection of the right (snowflake) position, with both switches,
will schedule the machine for normal operation. The compressor cycle is protected by a
time delay circuit, which will engage the compressor approximately 2 minutes after
normal operation is initiated. A red fill light located above the switches will illuminate
when the level of mix is low in the hopper. A thermostat knob on the electrical control
box of your machine is set at the factory and should not be changed or adjusted except by
an authorized service repairman.

Refer to the information below for functions available with various combinations of
switch positions.
Normal Operation – Both switches on
snowflake. Machine will freeze mix to
provide frozen beverage as desired.

Standby/Overnight Operation – Top


switch on snowflake, Bottom switch on
thermometer symbol. Machine will
automatically come on whenever
necessary to keep mix cooled to
5ºC/40º F - used primarily for
overnight storage of mix remaining
in the machine.

Cleaning Operation - The drive


motor will run in the faucet position
to allow a stirring action of the rinse
water while cleaning.

Off - The hand symbol is the


recognized international symbol for
“stop”. In this position,
the machine will not run.

6
3.2 THE PRODUCT YOU SERVE
The Frozen Drink Machine will produce a fine grain, semi-frozen slush when the proper
mix is used. When measured with a refractometer, the proper mix will measure 13 to 18
“brix”. Too little sugar in the mix will cause larger ice crystals to form. Too much sugar
will lengthen the freeze time.

CAUTION: Any attempt to freeze water only will cause severe damage to your
machine.
NOTE: Do not add sugar directly into the machine, as some of it will settle and
result in an improper mix.

FRUIT JUICES with at least 32 grams of sugar per 8-oz. serving will freeze well in
the Frozen Drink Machine. They will remain stable during the freezing process while
retaining their natural color and flavor.

NEUTRAL BASES are used to produce a neutral frozen cocktail base. A wide variety
of different drinks can be created from one neutral base by the addition of various flavors.
Most brands of neutral bases specify a mixture of four parts water to one-part neutral
base. However, before use in the Frozen Drink Machine, be sure the “brix” level is 13 to
18.

The amount of ALCOHOL in the recipe will affect the freezing process. As a rule of
thumb, for the mix to freeze properly, the recipe should contain no more than 25 percent
alcohol.

Suggestion for optimum production and sales:


1) Use the finest ingredients available.
2) Test the product before serving it.
3) Keep the machine clean - ALWAYS!

3.3 PRODUCT CONSISTENCY


An exclusive torque sensing mechanism
TCC screw is visible through opening at rear of
developed by Frosty Factory of America cabinet (as shown). Use straight slot screwdriver
will produce consistent texture and to adjust. Clockwise thickens beverage,
thickness of your frozen beverages. The counterclockwise makes beverage thinner.
adjustment screw (accessible through the
left side panel as you face the machine
front) is pre-set at the factory. Various mix
consistencies can be achieved by turning
the screw clockwise (thicker drink) or
counter clockwise (thinner drink). Turn
the screw one full turn then allow enough
time to lapse (about three minutes) for the
compressor to complete a cycle before
sampling. Continue this process until
desired
3.4 START result
UPis obtained.

7
3.4 START UP
NOTICE: Before start-up, be sure the machine has been sanitized in accordance with
procedures set forth in the cleaning section of this manual.

Pour the mix into the hopper and allow it to drain into the cylinder.

Fill the
Hopper
Do not run the
to about
machine when
1 inch
the freezing
from the
cylinder is not
top
completely full!

When the cylinder is full and the hopper is filled to one inch from the top, the machine is
ready to run. Turn on by selecting the “right” (snowflake) position of both switches on
the front panel.
NOTICE: Always add mix as soon as the red, level indicator light, above the
switches, comes on to prevent air from entering the cylinder.
CAUTION: Allowing air into the cylinder will cause a rocking motion of the machine.
If the mix is not yet frozen the air can escape by turning the machine off for
20-30 seconds.

WARNING: Never under any circumstances,


place your finger or any other object
into the hopper or feed hole while the
machine is in operation. Serious
personal injury may occur.

3.5 FREEZE TIMES

The freeze time on the Model 232W is approximately 15 minutes.


Times are as above when ideal conditions are met. Such as, pre-cooled starting mix
temperature of 40 degrees and room temperature at 80 degrees. The time will increase
if the machine in not properly ventilated or is operated in a hot environment. Recipes
with high alcohol or high sugar content will naturally take a little longer.
