Operating Procedures
Step 6
Slowly move the syrup sampling valve to the fully
open position by turning the handle “down” toward
the sampling line. Allow the liquid to run into a pail
until all the sanitizer is removed and full strength
product is flowing.

Brix is the ratio of syrup to water which will directly
affect the quality and taste of the product. Brixing
should be done before priming the freezer and when
a change in syrup flavor has been made.
Step 7
Pour the product from the syrup sampling valve into
a cup. Close the syrup sampling valve by turning the
handle to the center position.

Step 8
Stir the finished product. Pour a small amount of
product over the refractometer. The brix reading
should register 13 to 14. A reading higher than this
would cause a darker, richer product. The
refrigeration system would have to run longer to
freeze this excess syrup. A reading lower than this
could cause a freeze-up in the freezing cylinder
because of the excess water.

Step 9
To adjust the brix, turn the adjustment screw located
behind the drip tray shelf. Clockwise adjustments
increase the amount of syrup to water, and
counterclockwise adjustments decrease the amount
of syrup to water. Adjust the screw in small
increments and check the brix again.

Repeat this step
until a correct brix reading is
registered.
