The machine must be positioned in a way that exposes the product to the
consumers, that is, in a place with a flow of people. Try to leave the machine in a location
leveled so that she can work perfectly.
3.3. Attention
1) Never expose the machine to sunlight;
When placing the machine in the working position, try to leave a space of more or
less than 50 cm from the walls and obstacles, both on the side and at the rear, this is due to the
air condenser, which requires breathing from both sides;
3) Clean around the machine frequently, thus avoiding obstructions in the
air inputs.

clockwise or counterclockwise the adjustment screw, that is, opening or closing the
air valve, as if it were a tap. One must observe the delivery hose of the mixture,
air bubbles, allowing them to remain in a repetitive or linear manner (i.e., visibly
equal), if you are only passing syrup through the hose, the valve will be very closed or
If it is only blowing air, it may be very open.
Be very careful with this adjustment, as it can incorporate a lot of air into the ice cream.
Always work with the appropriate amount of air, do not exceed the adjustment.
When starting to work with the machine, be careful not to let syrup in the

bursting, and pull the lever until the syrup starts to come out, then close it and wait for about 20
seconds and repeat the same procedure. Let it run for 1 minute and then
open the air again, so that it has more liquid than air entering the cylinder (that
can be done by observing the flow of syrup in the hose).
Excess air intake occurs if the syrup is too light and the air adjustment is
very open.
The operator will know the adjustment as time goes by. Because with the various
types of broths, the best is to adapt to one of them and not change too frequently.
5.1. Adjustment of Ice Cream Output via the Extraction Lever (Soft MS-350P)
When starting the work with the soft, the pump will send mixture and air to the cylinder,
producing pressure, so that the mixture is equalized. See in figure 11.
This causes the pressure to force the ice cream out, which is why they must be adjusted.

First, it will be explained how the machine works and what the
Regulations can be made to improve without damage.
Asoft works with its frequency inverter monitoring the motor that drives the
mixer. The user regulates the maximum current that the motor can request from the inverter,
thus regulating the machine's operation, that is, when the motor requires 3A from the inverter, the
it will stop the compressor and after a few seconds the mixer (which will follow the time
regulated in item 4.2.1).
These command sequences are to prevent the drummer from freezing, due to
freezing of the syrup, this can also happen if there is a lack of syrup in the cylinder.
To prevent the lack of syrup in the cylinder, the machine should be operated in such a way
moderate allowing time for the syrup from the bowl to compensate for the removal of the ice creams (this can be done

6.1. Thawing (All Soft Models)
The thawing is a security system that will come into operation if the pusher
travel. With the paddle locked, the thaw goes into operation causing a
defrosting of the syrup in the cylinder, through the passage of warm air through
system. If the thawing is triggered three times in regular sequences, the machine will
stay stopped only resuming operation following the steps below:
If the soft stops due to the thawing, the energy should be removed from the machine by
after some time (from 10 to 20 seconds), the operator can do this by disconnecting it from the power supply, or
remove it from the socket. With this waiting time, the remaining energy will be discharged.

Lever: as described above, it aims to move the piston releasing the
ice cream passage.
Excess deposit: underneath the ice cream extraction device there is a
housing that is intended to retain the excess that flows out when removing the ice cream.
Along with all these devices we also have the o-rings, which help in the
sealing of the fittings see in figures 13 and 14 the devices and follow the sequence of
dismantling and assembly.

Remember that proper cleaning of the machine is essential to produce a product
of quality. Even if the machine doesn't run out of syrup, reserve one or more times for
week to carry out the draining of the syrup and cleaning, and if the machine is empty, do the
cleaning on the same day, as the machine can develop a bad smell overnight, or
until it harms new glazes that will be applied later.

Before starting the cleaning, try to follow the care listed below:
Never disassemble the machine while it is powered on. Be very careful with
the pressure of the cylinder, as it may cause accidents and mess with the slurry;
Do not put your finger or any type of utensils into the machine's openings without first
make sure that it is really turned off;
Remove all the syrup from the machine, taking some precautions;
Behind the machine is located the pump, it must first be ensured that the
cylinder pressure decrease without causing problems. The pump should be opened carefully and
slowly, letting the pressure return to the tank. See figure 16.

remove the water and rinse.
To clean the hoses, place approximately 200ml of water with
temperature of 50°C in each tank, letting it flow into the cylinder, and assemble the machine as
if it were to work normally (follow the previous steps in reverse to assemble the
valve in the basin). When the machine is assembled, put warm water (50°C) in the basin
with a little detergent, then put the machine to work in cleaning mode. This will
make the water pass through the hoses. This procedure will also make it so that
the cylinder maintains pressure, to relieve the pressure and clean the system better, place some
container very close to the extraction nozzles and open with care, after a little comes out
close the water, and throw the water back into the sink, repeating this procedure several times,
then the water will circulate through the system. This should be done several times until seeing that the
hoses should be clean. If there is residue of syrup in the hoses, remove them and clean with
running water. When the hoses are clean, drain the water and disassemble again

The machine works with three types of hoses, one silicone hose, one of
pressure and a high resistance one that works inside the pump. All the
hoses are non-toxic, that is, they do not contaminate the solution with chemicals and do not harm
health. Further on, some procedures for the preservation of hoses will be mentioned. See

The soft producer with a pump works with hoses and for better conservation,
There should be a rotation of the high resistance hose, and the one that stays inside the pump (see
figure 26, 27 and 28.

Because the pump exerts a lot of pressure on the region of the hose that is inside the
bomb, this area may suffer damage or even tear. Follow the explanations in the table and the
figure below:
Calculation regarding 1,500 hours worked without rotation.

To calculate the rotation time, just divide 1,500 hours by the time that
works with the machine daily, and the result divided by 30, which refers to the month.
The result will be given in months. When doing the rotation, check the hose, as
with the friction of the pump it may puncture and cause a leak. If when checking the hose

Preparation method
If the syrup is pasteurized, its preparation should be without the addition of yogurt, since the
pasteurization temperature will cause the elimination of the existing lactobacilli in it.
In this case, the yogurt should be added at the beginning of the maturation.
If the syrup is prepared cold, mix the recipe ingredients with agitation and
leave to mature for four hours at a temperature of 4º C.
Place the syrup in the machine's tub and produce normally.
