STANDBY Key
The Separate Hopper Refrigeration System (SHR)
and the Cylinder Temperature Retention System
(CTR) are standard features on Softecht machines.
The SHR incorporates the u se of a separate small
refrigeration system. This maintains the mix in the
hopper below 40_(4.4_C) to assure bacteria control.
The C TR works with the S HR to maintain a good
quality product. During long “No Sale” periods, it is
necessary to warm the product in the freezing cylinder
to approximately 35_Fto40_F(1.7_Cto4.4_C) to
prevent over--beating and product breakdown.
To activate the SHR and CTR, press the STANDBY
key. Place the endof the feed tube without the hole into
the mix inlet hole.
When the STANDBY key is pressed, the light comes
on, indicating the CTR (Cylinder Temperature
Retention System) has been activated. In the
STANDBY mode, the WASH and AUTO functions are
automatically cancelled. The MIX REF function is
automatically locked in to maintain the mix in the
hopper.
To resume normal operation, press the AUTO key.

cylinder will be at serving viscosity. At this time, place
the orifice end of the feed tube into the mix inlet hole.

add mix, a freeze--up may occur. This will cause
eventual damage to the beater, blades, drive shaft,
and freezer door.
