5.OPERATION
The machine state is , when it connects to power source.
Refrigeration
When the machine is in state, press key, it will start to
refrigerate and the state will turn to be .
When temperature reaches preset value, the ice-cream state will turn
to be , refrigeration will be stopped and ice cream is ready. You may
make ice cream by pull down the handle.
After making several cones of ice cream or 300 seconds after stop
refrigerating, the machine will restart to refrigerate. We do suggest users
not to make ice cream when the ice cream state is .
When the machine is in state, press key to stop refrigerating.In
the state, are unavailable, while are

When the machine is in state, press key, it will turn into
standby state .
In standby state, the machine will refrigerate every 3600 seconds to
keep the mixture in cylinder below the preset temperature.
We DO NOT recommend users to make ice cream in standby state.
Please swith to refrigeration mode before making ice cream.
When the machine in standby state, press key to turn into
state. It is easily to swith into state by press key.
In the standby state, are unavailable, while are
available.
Pre-cooling(machines with pre-cooling function)
Pre-cooling is OFF , when the machine is powered on by default.
Press key, pre-cooling turns on, and the state turns to . Press
again to turn it OFF .
When pre-cooling is ON , pre-cooling compressor starts to work to
keep temperature of mix below 5C in hoppers.
key is available in any case once the machine is powered on.
Cleanout
When the machine is in state, press key, the machine will start
to wash and the machine state will turn to be . During this time, the
motor is running until press key again.
Please refer to section 6 MAINTENANCE for full procedure of the
cleanout.
In the state, are unavailable, while are
available.
Mix low alert(machines with mix low sensor)
Mix low alert will be turned on when mix level is below the preset value

and the head of liquid level sensor drops down. At that moment, red light
in the front will twinkle and mix level state will turn to on the LCD
panel. (Buzzer beeps 3 times every 2 minutes, if the machines equipped
with buzzers.)
You have to pour flesh material into the hopper. Alert will be canceled
once the liquid level sensor rises up. Mix level state will turn to on the
LCD panel.

6.ADVANCED OPERATION
Parameter adjusting
You may adjust the hardness of the ice cream by adjusting the machine
parameter.
The parameter is displayed on the middle bottom of LCD panel. It
ranges from 1 to 20, and the default value is 10. The bigger the value
sets, the lower temperature is, and the harder ice cream is.
Hold or for 3 seconds to enter parameter adjusting mode.
Press key to increase the value, to decrease it and press key
to confirm.
Restore factory setting
Hold key for 5 seconds to restore factory setting. By default, ice
cream count is 0 and parameter value is 10.

Wash the machine
• We recommend to sterilize and wash the machine everyday
in regular use.
• Before washing, please wait at least 30 minutes after stop
refrigerating, otherwise beaters and motor may be damaged
because of the hard ice in the cylinders. For saving time, you
may pour some hot water(about 80C) into the hopper to melt
the ice, if you want to save times.
Wash it step by step
1. Before cleaning, clean up ice cream in the cylinder and material in
the hopper by pull down the handles.
2. Take off air pumps equipped on the machines. (Refer section
INSTALLATION to assemble pumps after cleaning)
3. Pour some clean water with fungicide into the hoppers, and wash
the machine by CLEANOUT function. After CLEANOUT, pull down
the handle to clean up water inside.
4. Shut down the power(disconnected from the power source).
5. Take off the dispenser door, disassemble it, wash it and assemble
it again.(Please refer to section "Install the dispenser door".)
6. Take off the beaters with O-ring, and install them after cleaning
and drying.
7. Install the air pumps and dispenser door after drying.
8. Clean up the hopper.
9. Take off the rear drip pan and clean it. Check and replace the
O-ring on the beater if there is too much leakage.

Troubleshooting Bacterial Count
• Thoroughly clean and sanitize the machine regularly, including
complete disassembly and brush cleaning.
• Use all brushes for thorough cleaning. The brushes are specially
designed to reach all mix passageways.
• Use the smaller, white bristle brush to clean the mix inlet hole
which extends from the mix hopper down to the rear of the freezing
cylinder.
• Use the black bristle brush to thoroughly clean the rear of the
freezing cylinder. Be sure to have a generous amount of cleaning
solution on the brush.
• IF LOCAL HEALTH CODES PERMIT THE USE OF RERUN, make
sure the mix rerun is stored in a sanitized, covered stainless steel
container and is used the following day. DO NOT prime the machine
with rerun. When using rerun, skim off the foam and discard. Mix the
rerun with fresh mix in a ratio of 50/50 during the day's operation.
• On a designated day of the week, run the mix as low as feasible and
discard after closing. This will break the rerun cycle and reduce the
possibility of high bacteria and coliform counts.
• Properly prepare the cleaning and sanitizing solutions. Read and
follow label directions carefully. Too strong of a solution may
damage the parts and to weak of a solution will not do an adequate
job of cleaning or sanitizing.
Regular Maintenance Checks
• Check the rear shell bearing for signs of wear (excessive mix
leakage in rear drip pan) and be certain it is properly cleaned.
• Using a screwdriver and cloth towel, keep the rear shell bearing
background

and the female hex drive socket clean and free of lubricant and mix
deposits.
• Dispose of O-rings or seals if they are worn, torn, or fit too loosely,
and replace with new ones.
• If an overload condition occurs frequently, maybe the belt is worn,
torn, or fit too loosely. Dispose of the belt and replace with new
ones.
• Follow all lubricating procedures as outlined in ASSEMBLY.
• Check the condenser for an accumulation of dirt and lint. A dirty
condenser will reduce the efficiency and capacity of the machine.
Condensers should be cleaned monthly with a soft brush. Never
use screwdrivers or other metal probes to clean between the fins.
Failure to comply may result in electrocution.
• This machine is equipped with an auxiliary refrigeration system,
check the auxiliary condenser will reduce the refrigeration capacity
of the mix hopper. Condensers must be cleaned monthly with a
soft brush. Never use screwdrivers or other metal probes to clean
between the fins. Failure to comply may result in electrocution.

8.ICE CREAM RAW MATERIALS
• If you are using ice cream powder, the recommended weight
ratio of power and water is 1:2.5(Or follow the instruction of
your powder). The weight ratio MUST NOT exceed 1:3, too
much water in the mixture will result in damaging the beater
and motor.
• Check if there is enough mixture in the hopper and the
mixture flows into the cylinder smoothly. Not enough mixture
in the cylinder may be frozen inside and result in damaging
the beater and motor.
• Keep the mixture fresh in the machine. It is not recommend
that key the mixture in cylinder for more than 1 hour. Staying
a long time in the cylinder will make the flavour bad.
• DO NOT pour in the mixture with temperature higher than
45C when machine is in refrigeration state.
• Keep the mixture level above the 1/3 height of the hopper.
