Congratulations!

MILKchiller™ II is the ideal solution for your beverage station because of it…

• Maintains dairy products at a safe temperature of 5°C / 41ºF or below.

• Features an LCD displaying 8 types of dairy products:
  WHOLE; CREAM; ½ & ½; 1%; 2%; SKIM; FAT-FREE; SOY in 5 languages: English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.

• Accommodates standard ½ gallon dairy cartons.

• Will also accommodate the dishwasher-safe, MILKchiller™ II Refillable Container.

• Dispenses dairy products with a simple press of a button.

• Eliminates mess and waste.

• Is easy to operate and replace the dairy container.

Before Using for the First Time

1. Carefully unpack the MILKchiller™ II from the box.

2. Read all of the instructions included in this manual.

3. Remove all the packing material including the white wrappers protecting the stainless steel components.

4. Make sure the MILKchiller™ II is unplugged and the power switch is in the OFF position.

5. Wipe exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. DO NOT use harsh or abrasive cleaners as these can damage the exterior surfaces.
   CAUTION: Do not immerse the power supply, the cord, or the appliance in water or any other liquid.

6. Before first use, the MILKchiller™ II Refillable Container (if used) should be hand washed in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher.

7. Thoroughly dry the Refillable Container and lid.

The MILKchiller™ II is now ready for use.

Plug the Power Supply Connector into the Power Inlet on the MILKchiller™ II control panel. Connect the power supply to the power cord and plug it into the wall outlet. Set the Power Switch to ON. 

Upon start-up, the LCD will alternately flash COOLING, LOW and WHOLE until the MILKchiller™ II has reached the safety standard temperature. (The “LOW” message  will disappear when the full milk container is inserted into the chilling chamber.)
When it has reached the safety standard temperature, the LCD will display the default setting “WHOLE”.
For more information on the setting display, please see the section DISPLAY SETTINGS and CONTROL PANEL FUNCTIONS.

Fine Tuning the Low-Level Indicator

The Low-Level Indicator has been calibrated to trigger when the liquid is down to approximately 18 fluid ounces (1/4 of total).
Once this amount is reached, the LOW indicator flashes on the display.

1. The Low-Level Indication can be adjusted to trigger for more liquid remaining in the carton if desired. 

2. Fill a container 1/4 full or more with liquid.
   This is the approximate amount of dairy product remaining in the container when the LOW indicator flashes on the display.
   Place the container in the MILKchiller™ II and close the lid.

3. Place the MILKchiller™ II on a flat surface that will provide access to the calibration screw. We suggest using an inside corner of a counter or pushing two tables together leaving 2 inches between them for access to the screw.

4. Using a flat-head screwdriver, SLOWLY adjust the screw on the bottom in a clockwise manner just until the LOW indicator is flashing.

5. Further, adjust the screw ½ turn to complete the calibration.

If, after time, the LOW indicator does not flash at the desired liquid level, readjust the calibration screw as outlined above.

• Standard ½ gallon plastic containers are filled to the rim with milk and the container is slightly bulging. Since the MILKchiller™ II chilling chamber is designed tight for optimal cooling contact with the container, milk will be squeezed out of the container while loading the chilling chamber if no milk was poured out prior to inserting the container.

Load Container into MILKchiller™ II

It is required to keep all dairy products refrigerated prior to use in the MILKchiller™ II. If using shelf-stable milk, the MILKchiller™ II will not operate until the milk has cooled to the safe temperature specification.
To load the container into the MILKchiller™ II, regardless of the type of container:

1. Lift the lid by pulling upward on the dispensing spout.

2. Orient the container so that the smaller of the two holes of the plug inserted in the milk container is pointing to the front of the machine.

3. Insert the container into the chilling chamber until it sits on the bottom surface. Insert a short flexible tube into the plug.

4. Insert the Air Hose Fitting into the smaller of the two open holes.
   The small hole with the Air Hose Fitting should be in the 12 o’clock position. See drawings below and on pages 11 and 12 for orientation. Press down for a tight fit.

The LCD on the front of the machine has many uses.

1. It shows the contents of the MILKchiller™ II in daily use.
2. It displays the temperature of the liquid when Temperature Button is pressed.
3. It communicates the status of the machine:

When the unit is first starting up, the LCD flashes COOLING until it has reached cooking temperature.
If after 2 hours the MILKchiller™ II does not reach cooling temperature, SERVICE is flashed on the LCD, and the pump will not operate.

When the level of the liquid becomes low, the machine notifies the operator by flashing LOW.
The operator is alerted that the dairy product needs to be refilled soon.

LCD, the MILKchiller™ II should be returned for service.
This indicates the machine is not cooling to the safe temperature specification, and the dairy product may not be safe to ingest.

Dispensing Dairy Product

The push button on the left side of the MILKchiller™ II causes the dairy product to be delivered through the dispensing spout.
Dairy products will be delivered for as long as the button is depressed (up to 60 seconds). There might be a slight delay between pushing the button and the delivery of the dairy product. 

PLEASE NOTE: The force of depressing the Push Button may cause the 0LOW level indicator to flash. When the button is released, the LOW-level indicator will disappear.

Replace the Air Filter

The Air Filter located at the lower back of the MILKchiller™ II filters the air being used to dispense the dairy product. It is recommended to change the filter at least once every three months; more often if the environment requires it and the Air Filter turns dark in color.

2. Lift filter out of the grill and dispose of.
3. Load replacement filter by sliding it along the back wall and into the slot between the grill and the housing.

CAUTION: Do not use metal scouring pads to clean the appliance.
Pieces of the pad may break off and touch electrical parts.
CAUTION: Do not pour water or any liquid into the chilling chamber of the MILKchiller™ II.

1. Unplug the MILKchiller™ II, open the lid and allow all parts to reach room temperature before cleaning.

2. Clean the outside of the MILKchiller™ II with a clean, damp sponge.
   Do not use an abrasive cleaner, as it may damage the exterior finish.
