- Pump Unit Dismantling: Detailed steps for disconnecting the delivery pipe, removing the pump unit, washing components, and reassembling with food grease.
- Product Air Regulation Pipe Removal (Gravity Machines): Instructions for extracting the piston, loosening the fixed rod, and extracting O-rings for cleaning and reassembly.
- Auger Disassembly (Monobloc Model): Steps for removing the auger and gland for cleaning, checking for wear, and lubricating with food grease.
- Emulsifier Dismantling: Instructions for pulling the rotary unit upwards for washing and reassembly.
- Gland Control: Regular inspection of the gland for defects and replacement if worn or leaking (indicated by ice cream traces in the drip tray).
- Air Cooling Maintenance: Periodic cleaning of the condenser to remove dust and debris using a brush or compressed air.
- Water Cooling Maintenance: For water-cooled machines, water must be removed from the condensation circuit at the end of the season to prevent problems in environments below 0°C.
- Safety Warnings: Emphasizes disconnecting the machine from power before any maintenance, avoiding water spray on electrical components, and using only approved disinfection products.
- Spare Parts Kit: Includes a bag of seals, food-grade grease, pipe cleaner brushes, and an extractor for routine maintenance.
- Alarm System: The machine detects anomalies (e.g., batch freezer timeout, high consistency value, compressor thermal switch, tank minimum level, dispensing unit not inserted) and displays them on the Home screen, providing solutions for troubleshooting.
- General Settings: Allows users to adjust date, time, and language settings.
The manual stresses the importance of using high-quality mixtures and contacting Electrolux Professional SPA assistance centers for any necessary repairs or complex operations. It also highlights safety instructions for installation, including proper electrical connections and positioning of the machine in a well-ventilated, dry environment away from heat sources.
