Feed Tube
The XF124 uses a metering device, known as a feed tube, to feed a ratio of liquid mix and air into the freezing cylinder,
and to reduce the frozen product rising out of the freezing cylinder back into the hopper.
Product Mix
Freezing characteristics are affected by the amount of sweeteners, solids, and alcohol in the mix. The amount of
sweeteners and solids is called BRIX and can be measured with a refractometer. A BRIX reading of between 11 and
16 will provide optimum machine operation. Mixes with this BRIX level will freeze down to a smooth, uniform
consistency. Mixes with a BRIX measurement above 16 may take longer to freeze and may be soft and/or wet in
consistency when dispensed. Mixes with a BRIX level below 11 may have larger ice crystals and may dispense slower
than usual. Alcohol content also affects product freezing characteristics, as a higher alcohol content lowers the freezing
temperature of the mix and may prevent the machine from cooling the mix to the temperature where the mix will be at
the proper thickness. For maximum output capacity, pre-chill mix before adding it to the machine. Pre-chilled mix
reduces the cooling system workload and speeds the initial freeze time. It is normal for output capacity to decrease
when warm mix is added or when the machine is operated in a warm or humid location.

INSTALLATION
1. Place the XF124 on a level counter that is stable and strong enough to safely support the machine’s full weight with
mix in it (typically 250 lbs).
2. Make sure machine is to be placed in a location that is within 6’ of a properly grounded circuit and allows adequate
space (at least 6 inches) on each of the left, right, and back sides of the machine for proper air circulation.
NOTE: Failure to allow adequate ventilation will substantially reduce the machine’s performance, may
cause damage to the machine, and may void the warranty due to improper operation of the machine.
NOTE: Locating the unit in high ambient temperatures (over 90°F) will reduce the performance of the machine.
3. Reverse the position of the dispense valve handle. During shipment the handle is positioned close to the unit to
prevent damage. Remove the pin on the dispense valve and rotate the handle in the dispense valve half a turn.
This will position the end of the handle away from the machine about 4 inches. Replace the pin in the dispense
valve and the valve is ready for use.
4. Be sure ON-OFF-CLEAN switch (toggle switch located underneath the lighted sign on the left front side of the machine)
is in the “OFF” position.
5. Connect the power cord directly to a properly grounded 120V/60Hz, 20 Amp DEDICATED circuit. No other
equipment should be on the same circuit as the XF124.
