LOCATION & INSTALLATION
2.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not attempt to operate your Frozen Drink Machine until the safety precautions and
operating instructions in this manual are read completely and are thoroughly understood.
2.2 INSTALLATION
Placing your Frozen Drink Machine 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.
4. Air-cooled condensers must have correct ventilation. Air intake is at the rear of the
machine and discharge through the side; 24” clearance is required on both sides and
8” at the back. In addition, all Frozen Drink Machines require 12” 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.
NOTICE: Establishments that serve beverages from frozen drink machines are
responsible for providing the necessary facilities for cleaning and
sanitizing their food service equipment.
5. Place the three-position switch in the OFF position (center).
6. Connect the power cord. The Frozen Drink Machine must be connected to a properly
grounded receptacle. The electrical cord furnished as part of the Frozen Drink
Machine 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
may result.
Notice: Your
receptacle should
look like this.

SECTION 3
OPERATION
3.1 MACHINE CONTROLS
Two selector switches located on the front of the machine control operation of the Frozen
Drink Machine. 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.
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.
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.
7
3.2 THE PRODUCT YOU SERVE
The Frozen Drink Machine will produce a fine grain, semi-frozen slush when the proper
mix is used. When measured with a refractometer, the proper mix will measure 13 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 Frozen Drink Machine. 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 Frozen Drink Machine, 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
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.
Turning the TCC screw clockwise
will make the beverage thicker
8
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.
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.
If the mix is not yet frozen the air can escape by turning the machine off for
20-30 seconds.
WARNING:
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.
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.
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.
Fill the
Hopper
to about
1 inch
from the
top
Do not run the
machine when
the freezing
cylinder is not
completely full!

Before you call the factory for help check the following items to be sure that you
have not overlooked something;
(1) If the drive motor or compressor does not operate when the switches are placed in the
right (Snowflake) position, then;
A. Make certain that the machine is plugged in.
B. Check that the circuit breaker in your electrical panel has not been tripped.
C. Allow approximately 2 minutes for the compressor delay timer to activate.
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.
C. If necessary, slightly turn the mix adjustment screw (TCC) “clockwise” to thicken the
mix. Repeat if necessary.
(3) If the machine makes a “Knocking” sound during the freezing process, then;
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.
