LOCATION & INSTALLATION

2.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not attempt to operate your Petite Sorbeteer until the safety precautions and operating instructions in this manual are read completely and are thoroughly understood.

2.2 INSTALLATION

Placing your Petite Sorbeteer in a highly visible area will enhance sales.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to share the dedicated electrical outlet with any other appliance; this will cause the circuit breaker to trip.

1. Remove the machine from the shipping container.

2. Place the unit on a sturdy platform able to hold the weight of the machine when full of product.(Usually about 150 #)

3. 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. Air-cooled condensers must have correct ventilation. Air intake is at the rear of the machine and discharge through the side; 8” clearance is required on both sides and at the back. In addition, all Petite Sorbeteers require 6” clearance above the machine.

NOTICE: Locating the unit in direct sunlight, near cooking equipment or any high heat area will reduce the performance of your machine.

CAUTION: Extended operations under severe heat condition can damage the cooling system.

6.

NOTICE: 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 the power cord. The Petite Sorbeteer must be connected to a properly grounded receptacle. The electrical cord furnished as part of the Petite Sorbeteer has a three prong grounding type plug. The use of an extension cord is not recommended. If one must be used, refer to the national and local electrical codes.

Do not use an adapter to get around grounding requirements.

WARNING; Do not attempt to alter the electrical plug. Serious injury or electrocution

Notice: Your receptacle should look like this. may result.

SECTION 3

OPERATION

3.1 MACHINE CONTROLS

Two selector switches located on the front of the machine control operation of the Petite

Sorbeteer. 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.

Cooling 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 Petite Sorbeteer will produce a fine grain, semi-frozen slush when the proper mix is used. When measured with a refractometer, the proper mix will measure 12 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.

NOTICE: 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 Petite Sorbeteer. 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 Petite Sorbeteer, be sure the “brix” level is 12 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

Turning the TCC screw clockwise will make the beverage thicker

An exclusive, patented, torque consistency control (TCC) developed by Frosty Factory of

America will allow for consistent texture and thickness adjustments of your frozen beverages.

The adjustment screw (accessible through the left side panel) 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 the desired result is obtained.

7

Do not run the machine when the freezing cylinder is not completely full!

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 to about

1 inch from the top

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.

WARNING:

If the mix is not yet frozen the air can escape by turning the machine off for

20-30 seconds.

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 TIME

The freeze time on the Model 117A is approximately 20 minutes 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.

SECTION 4

MAINTENANCE

4.1 CLEANING

The following cleaning procedure should be used for initial start-up and on an as needed basis to comply with the minimum cleaning and sanitizing frequencies specified by the federal, state or local regulatory agency having jurisdiction.

(1) Drain mix into a sanitized container as per local health code procedures.

Store in an adequate cooling facility.

(2) Turn the machine to the off, “hand” position remove hopper cover. Look in the hopper to locate and remove the float and float clip for cleaning.

NOTICE: Do not put hands or foreign

matter into mix.

(3) Pour two gallons of cool (75ºF.) water into the hopper. Clean the hopper and feed hole. Place upper switch in “faucet” position to let the machine stir for 2 minutes.

Turn machine “OFF”, drain and dispose of the rinse water. Repeat until water is clear.

CAUTION: Do not pour hot water into a cold or cool machine as it can crack the cylinder and destroy the machine.

(6) Remove the knobs from the faceplate by turning in a counter clockwise direction. Carefully pull the faceplate straight away from the front of the machine.

Remove the beater bar assembly from the cylinder.

Then slide the spring seal off the rear of the beater bar.

Unscrew white faucet cap to remove faucet plunger from faucet body. Remove all o-rings for cleaning.

NOTICE: Do not unscrew faucet body from faceplate to clean. (Leak free service after disturbing the Teflon seal cannot be assured).

(7) All parts removed during the above steps plus the drip tray and insert can now be cleaned in your warm (100º F) sanitized solution. Rinse all parts in clean rinse water and allow to air-dry before re-assembly.

(8) Parts may also be placed into a dishwasher for cleaning. HOWEVER, Do not

“heat-dry” as this will warp the plastic faceplate and cause it leak upon reassembly.

9

4.2 RE-ASSEMBLY

(1) Hand wipe all surfaces to remove any remaining residue on the machine, then: using

Petro-Gel (or other sanitary food grade lubricant), lightly lubricate the longer end of the beater shaft.

Slide beater seal onto the shaft with the spring end toward the beater bar. (Refer to diagram on top of the hopper cover for correct installation of spring seal).

NOTICE: The black carbon ring must be facing the end of the beater bar so it will be in direct contact with the white ceramic seal inside the cylinder when the beater bar is reinstalled. This is a dry seal and must be

kept free of lubricants.

CAUTION: The beater seal may become damaged if the beater shaft is not lubricated before installation of the beater seal) into hole at the rear of the cylinder and rotate until it fully engages into the drive plate.

CAUTION: Do not strike the ceramic seal with the beater bar during installation!

(3) Lubricate the large, black, rubber, faceplate

O-ring with Petro-Gel then re-install and press firmly into the faceplate groove for proper fit. Re-install o-rings on faucet

(4) Re-install the faceplate on the machine.

First place the faceplate bushing onto the beater shaft. Then slide face plate onto the four studs. Now re-attach the faceplate knobs and tighten evenly until the faceplate O-ring is snug against the cylinder. Re-install float and float clip.

D. Make sure that the machine is level.

(2) If the unit operates normally but the product does not freeze to the consistency desired;

A. Make sure that there is at least 6 to 8 inches clearance around your machine to prevent the unit from re-circulating hot air.

B. Make sure that the condenser at the back of the machine is completely clean of lint and dust. If lint or dust is present it can be vacuumed with a soft brush attachment.

(3) If the machine makes a “Knocking” sound during the freezing process, then;

C. If necessary, slightly turn the mix adjustment screw (TCC) “clockwise” to thicken the mix. Repeat if necessary.

A. There is too much water in the recipe or the mix has begun to separate. The machine will let you know by making a “knocking” sound.

B. To determine if there is a problem with the mix, turn the upper switch to the left. If the knocking stops after about 2 minutes, there is a problem with the recipe. Turn the switch to the right and allow the freezing process to continue. If the knocking returns it can be cleared by repeating the same steps. Correct the recipe as soon as possible.

(4) If product is leaking from the drip tube (just below the serving handle), then;

A. The spring seal may not be clean or may be improperly installed.

B. Review the installation procedures in the manual and refer to the decals on the lid for proper assembly procedures. Be sure that both parts of the seal are completely clean and that there is no lubricant (grease) or dried product on the seal or on the ceramic ring inside the freezing chamber.

(5) If you must call the factory for assistance;

Locate the Model and Serial Numbers, of your machine, on the data plate on the back panel. Fill a cup with product from the serving faucet and use a thermometer to find the temperature. Have this information available before you contact the factory.

Frequently Answers and Questions

What is the freeze time on the Model 117A?
The freeze time on the Model 117A is approximately 20 minutes when ideal conditions are met
How do I adjust the consistency of the frozen beverage?
An exclusive, patented, torque consistency control (TCC) developed by Frosty Factory of America will allow for consistent texture and thickness adjustments of your frozen beverages. The adjustment screw (accessible through the left side panel) is pre-set at the factory. Various mix consistencies can be achieved by turning the screw clockwise (thicker drink) or counter clockwise (thinner drink).
What type of mix can I use in the Petite Sorbeteer?
The Petite Sorbeteer will produce a fine grain, semi-frozen slush when the proper mix is used. When measured with a refractometer, the proper mix will measure 12 to 18 “brix”. Too little sugar in the mix will cause larger ice crystals to form. Too much sugar will lengthen the freeze time.
