G. After about 6 to 10 minutes the freezer will shut off
and the green lens will illuminate. The product will be
ready to serve. Freeze down time may be longer for
some frozen diet dessert mixes. High ambient
temperatures may extend freeze down time.
H. For normal dispensing, move the spigot handle fully
open (Fig. 16).
I. The freezer is designed to dispense the product at a
reasonable draw rate. If the freezer is overdrawn, the
result is a soft product or a product that will not
dispense at all. If this should occur, allow the freezer
to run for approximately 30 seconds before dispens-
ing additional product. After a while the operator will
sense or feel when the freezer is beginning to fall
behind, and will slow down on the rate of draw so as
not to exceed the capacity.
J. Do not operate the freezer when the MIX LOW light
is on or with less than 1-3/4" (4.4 cm) of mix in the
hopper. Refill the hopper immediately.
NOTE
The freezer has a standby mode sometimes
referred to as a sleep or energy conservation
mode. When the freezer is not used, after a
preset time, it will enter the standby mode and
remain there until someone draws a product or
pushes the push-to-freeze switch. In the
standby mode, the freezer will keep the product
below 45°F. Standby modes are not to be used
in place of cleaning and sanitizing. Frequency
of cleaning and sanitizing is determined by
Federal, State, and local regulatory agencies.

3.5 MIX INFORMATION
Mix can vary considerably from one manufacturer to
another. Differences in the amount of butterfat content
and quantity and quality of other ingredients have a
direct bearing on the finished frozen product. A change
in freezer performance that cannot be explained by a
technical problem may be related to the mix.
When changing from one type of mix to another such as
yogurt to Vitari, you may have to change the mix inlet
regulator and/or control settings. Please call your
distributor for further information.
Proper product serving temperature varies from one
manufacturer’s mix to another. Mixes should provide a
satisfactory product in the 18° to 20°F (-7° to -6°C)
range.
When checking the temperature, stir the thermometer in
the frozen product to read the true temperature.
Mix does not improve with age. Old mix, or mix that has
been stored at too high a temperature, can result in a
finished product that is less than satisfactory in taste
and appearance. To retard bacteria growth in dairy
based mixes, the best storage temperature range is
between 36° to 40°F (2.2° to 4.4°C).
Some products tend to foam more than others. If excess
foam should occur, skim the foam off with a sanitized
utensil and discard. Periodically, stir the mix in the
hopper with a sanitized utensil.
3.6 REMOVING MIX FROM THE FREEZER
To remove the mix from the freezer, refer to the following
steps:
A. Remove the mix inlet regulator from the hopper by
pulling straight up (Fig.17).
