Installations & Adjusting
A. Unpack & Inspect
- Cut off the wrapping tape.
- Open the wooden case by screwdriver.
- Remove the foam.
- Inspect carefully for any defective appearance.
- Check the accessories against the packing list.
- Remove the fixing bolt and fixing feet at the bottom of the machine. Push the machine so the front wheels are grounded.
- The surface is protected by a plastic film; remove it before use.
TIPS: When using the machine for the first time, if there remains liquid residue in the cylinder, it is normal residue from ex-factory cleaning and will not affect machine performance or service time.
B. Installation
1. SELECTING LOCATION
- Place the machine on a level counter that is stable and strong enough to safely support its weight.
- Place the machine in a location that allows adequate space at the back and each side for proper ventilation. Keep 50cm space from all sides for ventilation. The machine should be shaded from the sun and not located too close to units that radiate excessive heat.
Diagram showing recommended spacing (≥ 50cm) around the ice cream machine for ventilation.
- Install the handle and drip tray according to the sticker and exploded diagram.
2. POWER SUPPLY
- Select the proper power supply according to the voltage and power on the nameplate.
- Caution: For safety, ensure the ground connection is in good condition.
- All exterior wires and other appliances must conform to national standards.
C. Testing Running
- Connect the machine to power supply. You will hear a "Beep". All graphic patterns on the screen will light up and then extinguish, indicating the machine has entered "Standby" mode.
- Press "Clean". The corresponding indicator will light up, and you will hear the sound of the beater system working. Press the "Clean" button again to stop the beater system.
- Press "Auto". The corresponding indicator will light up, and the beater system will start working. After 3 seconds, the cooling system will also start working.
D. Clearing & Sterilizing
- Prepare 5-6 liters of warm water and mix with food detergent according to the manufacturer's specifications to create the sterilizing solution.
- Pour the solution into the hopper. While the solution is flowing into the freezing cylinder, brush and clean the mix hopper.
- Press the "Clean" key and let the machine run for about 5 minutes.
- Place an empty pail beneath the draw spout and push down the draw handle to drain off all solution.
- Repeat this operation for 2-3 times with water only.
Notice:
- The temperature of the sterilizing solution cannot exceed 60°C, or it will damage the spare parts.
- Draw off all the water in the hopper after clearing, or it will damage the beater while the compressor is running.
- When pressing the "Clean" key, pay attention to the indicator light to avoid pressing the wrong key.
E. Install Feed Tube
Please choose the appropriate installation method according to the type of feeding components of the model you purchased.
Feed Tube Installation
- Place the sealing ring in the groove of the feed joint. Use a small amount of Vaseline to lubricate it during installation to facilitate installation.
- Insert the holed end of the feed tube into the feed hole of the mix hopper.
Normally, use to expand the ice cream; if necessary, the feed tube can be installed in reverse.

AUTO KEY
Press the Auto key ▶️. The "Cool" icon lights up. The hopper is controlled by setting temperature. It will stop when the temperature is less than the setting value and will start again if the temperature in the hopper rises by 2°C. The compressor for the cylinder will stop when the hardness value reaches 99. After 15 seconds, the beater motor stops. The beater motor will start again after the set time (cycle time to restart for the machine). After 20 seconds, the compressor starts.

B. Make Ice Cream
1. MAKE SURE THE MACHINE IS CLEAN AND SANITIZED BEFORE MAKING ICE CREAM.
- Prepare some sanitizing solution with warm water (temperature between 50°C and 60°C), pour it into the hopper and clean the wall of the hopper.
- Turn on the power switch, and then press the Clean key ⚙️ and operate for 5 minutes.
- Put an empty pail under the dispensing door, pull down the handle for 3 seconds, and then return it by hand. Repeat this for 6 times to clean the mix pump assembly thoroughly.
- Draw out all sanitizing solution from the machine and turn off the Clean key ⚙️.
- Take off the 4 screws from the dispensing door, then remove the dispensing door assembly. Disassemble it, and put the parts into the sanitizing solution to clean thoroughly. Assemble them together and put them back on the machine.
- Pour some clean water into the hopper and repeat to rinse it for several times.
- Use a clean towel to wipe water off the dispenser door.
2. PREPARE THE MIXER
Prepare the ice cream mixer as per the instructions of your purchased ice cream powder or liquid mixer. Ensure the liquid mixer is free of any impurities or particulates. Keep it for 15 minutes or keep it in the freezer.
3. MAKE ICE CREAM
Notice:
When selecting a new ice cream mixer, please set the hardness level to "02" to make ice cream. Adjust the hardness level properly based on the dispensed ice cream.
- Pour half fresh mix into the hopper.
- Press the Clean key ⚙️ until the inlet hole of the pump cylinder is free of bubbles. It is not good for ice cream shape if you do not operate in this way.
- Add more ice cream mix into the hopper, put the hopper cover on. Press the Auto key ▶️ to start operation. The number on the digital displayer will rise during operation. When the number reaches "99", the ice cream in the freezing cylinder is ready for serving.
- Dispense ice cream: Place a cone or other container under the dispenser door, pull down the handle to get ice cream. Push it back after dispensing.
Diagram showing the dispensing process with a cone and outlet.
- Clean the machine after daily work. Dispense all the ice cream from the freezing cylinder and mixer in the hopper. Clean and sanitize the machine as per the above instructions.
Use & Maintenance
Different machines must be used and maintained according to their different using conditions and environment conditions.
A. Washing Refrigeration Cylinders
Clean the refrigeration cylinders once every day for a longer useful life and for the health of customers.
- Press the Clean key ⚙️ to exhaust all the remaining slurry in the beverage containers and refrigeration cylinder, then click the Standby key ?; the machine will stop.
- Take the right amount of food detergents, make up a disinfecting solution according to its instructions with warm water, then put the solution into each bucket.
- Press the Clean key ⚙️. After the machine stirs for about 5 minutes, discharge the disinfecting solution, followed by washing with water 2-3 times, then stop the machine.
- Turn off the power, take apart and wash the parts.
- Unscrew the four fastening screws in front of the dispenser door, remove the dispenser door.
- Remove the components as follows: pin of handle, handle, piston, O-ring for piston, and O-ring for dispenser door from the dispenser door.
- Draw the beater from the refrigeration tank, then remove the gasket for the beater.
- Put the components into disinfecting solution to clean. Check the bearing sleeve for beater, O-ring for dispenser door, O-ring for beater, and O-ring for piston. If they are worn out, they should be replaced.
- After cleaning, lubricate the parts with Vaseline, then install the parts according to the method of taking apart.
- Disconnect the main power switch.
- Remove the back panel and side panels.
- Clean dust with tools such as a vacuum cleaner, high-pressure air, and hairbrush. Be careful while cleaning to avoid damaging the fins of the condenser.

Diagram (Fig.4) illustrating lubrication with Vaseline.
Notice:
Before installing the piston, O-ring for piston, beater, and bearing sleeve for beater, lubricate with Vaseline (lubricate Vaseline onto the O-ring for beater, not onto the beater's end). Using Vaseline frequently can extend the service life of components.
B. Cleaning Machine Cabinet
Keep the machine cabinet clean. Use a wet towel to clean the cabinet, and do not flush the machine with water directly.
C. Cleaning Condenser
After being used for a period of time, the condenser may become thick with dust, which affects heat radiation and causes refrigeration differences. Periodic cleaning (every half year) is necessary.

Cleaning methods:
D. Belt Adjustment
After being used for a period of time, the belt of the machine may elongate, so it needs to be adjusted. Disconnect the main power of the machine, remove the back panel and side panels, adjust the tension bolt, and ensure the belt is at the appropriate tension.
