Introduction

This manual describes the operation features of the Ice Cream Freezer. Please review this information before attempting installation and operation.

Long term, trouble-free operation will follow if good housekeeping and maintenance procedures are followed. Thank you for selecting Glastender, Inc. products.

Utility Requirements and Connections

Electrical: 120 Volt AC, 1 Phase, 60 Hz. A dedicated 15 amp circuit is recommended. An 8-foot grounded cord is included.

Plumbing:

1. Without dipper well – none required.
2. With dipper well-
   • Drain: 1-1/2″ PVC tailpiece provided.
   • Water Supply: 3/8″ chrome riser provided.

Operation

The Ice Cream Freezer is designed to store ice cream. The FRA-24, FRB-24, and DI-FR models hold one 3-gallon container and the FRA-36, FRB-36, and DI-FR36 models hold two 3-gallon containers. The operating temperature range is -5ºF (-21ºC) to 10ºF (-12ºC).

Cleaning Instructions

Cleaning is essential to sustaining the integrity of your equipment and preventing corrosion.

ESTIMATED CLEANING TIME: 5 to 10 minutes per unit daily.

FREQUENCY: Daily cleaning of exterior & door gaskets. Interior thawing and cleaning as necessary.

PROCEDURE:

1. A non-chlorine based cleaner or mild detergent and warm water applied with a soft cloth or sponge to all contact surfaces.
2. Immediately rinse off cleaning agent(s), using clean warm water, clean soft cloth or sponge.
3. Dry with a soft clean cloth, removing standing water as soon as possible.

NOTES:

1. Never use hydrochloric acid, wire brushes, steel wool, scrapers, or chlorine based cleaners on stainless steel surfaces, since they will break down the passivity layer and allow corrosion to occur.
2. On stainless steel surfaces, you may use a soft bristle brush or Scotch-Brite® pad for more stubborn stains. Always scrub with the direction of the grain. Follow with a thorough cleaning as described above.
3. Deposits from food preparation must be properly removed. Even hard water deposits will rust stainless steel, if not removed.
4. Door gaskets are most often overlooked when cleaning. Failure to clean them regularly will lead to premature failure, since alcohol, debris, and moisture build-up breaks down the gasket material.
5. When excess frost builds up on the interior liner, store ice cream in the kitchen freezer and unplug the unit for the night. First thing the next morning, clean the interior, using a sponge to soak up excess moisture.
6. NEVER use a pick or sharp object to remove frost from the interior liner.

Warranty Statement

APPLICABLE TO ALL PRODUCTS SOLD WITHIN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA

Glastender, Inc. warrants all products to be free of defects in material and workmanship. One-year labor and parts warranty applies to all glasswashers, self-contained refrigeration models, and BDS model bottle disintegration units. In established areas, a start up is included with GT-24 and GT-30 model glasswashers. Warranty is effective for one year from the date of installation or up to 18 months from date of factory shipment, whichever occurs sooner. Glastender, Inc. will replace any part or assembly found defective under normal use and service.

For warranty labor claims beyond 12 months from the date of factory shipment, proof of date of installation or occupancy must be provided. Authorization for labor must be obtained from Glastender within the warranty period and prior to the service being performed.

Labor warranty applies to the 50 states of the USA and Canada only.

Remote refrigeration models exclude the labor warranty for the condensing unit and issues related to the field installation and test of the completed refrigeration system, provided by others.

Field replacement parts not covered under the original warranty include a 90-day part warranty from the date of installation.

FOUR YEAR ADDITIONAL COMPRESSOR WARRANTY

Glastender will warrant to the original user the compressor for all self- contained refrigeration models for an additional four years following the regular one-year warranty period. This plan applies to the compressor only.

A completed warranty claim form MUST accompany all returned defective parts or assemblies. Upon request, a defective part or assembly must be returned to Glastender, Inc., Saginaw, Michigan, with all transportation and delivery charges prepaid. Warranty repairs or replacements will be shipped FOB factory in Saginaw, Michigan. Reimbursement for applicable freight charges covers ground service only.

Glastender provides in-warranty repairs during a service company’s regular working days and hours. There is no provision for payment of a premium rate during “overtime” hours. When warranty service is requested during other than normal working hours, the end user will be charged the premium portion of the overtime rate.

The warranty covers substantiated travel expenses for up to 2 hours / 100 miles round trip up to a maximum of $225. Any additional costs due to installations that require extra work, time, or travel to gain access for service are the sole responsibility of the equipment purchaser. Any exceptions to these travel and access limitations must be pre-approved by a factory representative.

The warranty does not cover door gaskets, chemical tubing, pump squeeze tubing, and/or any equipment subjected to accidents, freight damage, alterations from the original design, improper power and/or plumbing hookups, improper chemical use, general misuse, or lack of routine required maintenance as determined by Glastender, Inc. Installation, normal control adjustments, general maintenance, correcting an installation error, or service calls that reveal the unit is functioning normally will not be reimbursed under warranty.

Condenser coils on self-contained refrigeration products must be cleaned regularly. Failure to provide adequate air flow to a refrigeration unit will void the warranty.

Glastender shall not be liable for loss of use, revenue, or profit, or for any other indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damage including, but not limited to, product spoilage or loss.

This warranty is conditioned upon Glastender receiving notice of any defect subject to this warranty within sixty (60) days of its discovery by the end user or dealer. All products are warranted only for the initial place of installation. Removal of a product automatically terminates this warranty.

SECOND YEAR EXTENDED PARTS & LABOR WARRANTY

Glastender’s one-year parts and labor warranty on self-contained refrigeration units can be extended to two years with the purchase of a two year parts and labor warranty. Specify part number EWR2 ($250 net price) when ordering.

EXPORT WARRANTY – One year parts only.

GLASTENDER’S LIABILITY WILL IN NO EVENT BE GREATER IN AMOUNT THAN THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE RETURNED PRODUCTS.
