5.3 ICE-CREAM PRODUCTION

After the machine has been installed according to the
instructions reported in chapter 3 and carefully
cleaned and sanitized according to the instructions
reported in charter 6, proceed to start up the ice-
cream production as follows:

5.3.1 Models with gravity feeding.

- Check that the master switch is closed, the STOP
pushbutton is lighted up and that the water tap is
open (for water-condensed versions only).
- Lift the cover and draw the feeding needle out of
the tank bottom.
- Pour the mixture into the tank (max. 6 litres) at
conservation temperature.
- Press the MIX pushbutton and let rotate for a few
minutes.
This operation facilitates to fill the mixing cylinder
preventing icing, which could block the beater and
cause an alarm condition.
- Replace the feeding needle into its seat.
- Select the desired volume increase by positioning
the shutter on one of the seven available
positions; the greater is the value, the greater is
the quantity of product introduced in the cylinder
and as a consequence a reduced quantity of air
in the ice-cream dispensed. On the contrary, the
nearer is the value to 1, the greater is the quantity
of air in the product.
The position 0 corresponds to the complete closing
of the batch inlet opening. For this reason it must
never be used during ice-cream production.
Particularly thick batches require that the shutter is
set to high values (4, 5 or 6); otherwise there is the
risk that the machine is blocked due to an insufficient
feeding of the mixing cylinder.
- Reposition the cover on the tank and press the
PRODUCTION pushbutton to start the ice-cream
production.
