Important Notices for Usage:
- Read all instructions before use.
- After positioning the appliance for the first time, wait 2 hours and keep the transparent lid open for at least 2 hours.
- Use spring water instead of pure water.
- Ensure the voltage matches the rating label and the socket is properly earthed.
- Do not overturn the product or incline it over a 45° angle.
- Keep the appliance 8cm (3") from other objects for proper heat release.
- Do not switch on the power button frequently (ensure at least a 5-minute interval) to avoid compressor damage.
- Do not insert metal sheets or other electric objects into the appliance.
- The initial temperature of the ice cream mixture should be 25±5°C. Do not pre-freeze the mixture.
- Do not remove the motor and transparent cover during operation.
- The appliance is intended for household and similar applications.
- Children aged 3 to 8 years are allowed to load and unload refrigerating appliances under supervision.
- When positioning, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.
- Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or power supplies at the rear of the appliance.
- To avoid contamination, clean surfaces regularly, clean water tanks if unused for 48 hours, and flush the water system if water has not been drawn for 5 days. If left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open.
- The ingredients should not exceed 60% of the removable bowl's capacity to prevent overflow as ice cream expands during formation.
- If the ice cream machine starts without adding ice cream, a slight scraping sound from the mixing blade is normal.
- Ensure water stains are wiped from the transparent cover and copper plates on the motor assembly to prevent power failure.
Maintenance Features
- Cleaning:
- Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
- Remove and wipe the mixing blade with a dampened cloth.
- Remove and clean the removable bowl with a dampened soft cloth.
- Wipe the transparent lid and refill lid with a dampened cloth.
- Clean the body and other parts with a dampened cloth; do not pour water on the cord, plug, ventilation, or immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
- Allow all parts to dry thoroughly with a dry cloth before reassembling.
- General Care:
- Do not use chemical cleaners or hard tools to clean the product.
- Do not use a dishwasher to clean the loading bowl.
- Do not wash the evaporator directly with water.
- Troubleshooting:
- If the loading bowl is difficult to remove after ice cream is finished, wait 3-8 minutes. This is often due to frozen water drops between the refrigeration barrel and the loading bowl.
- If the transparent lid cannot be stuck in place, ensure the mixing fan blades are correctly positioned and aligned with the convex hull at the bottom.
- If the loading bowl cannot be placed in the cold bucket or the mixing fan is scratched/jammed, it may be due to deformation from improper use, requiring a new loading bowl.
Safety Precautions:
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless supervised or instructed by a responsible person.
- Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
- Do not use the appliance near flames, hot plates, or stoves.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not store explosive substances like aerosol cans with flammable propellants in this appliance.
- To protect against electric shock, do not pour water on the cord, plug, or ventilation, or immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
- Unplug the appliance after use or before cleaning.
- Do not place the product next to high-temperature gas or electric stoves.
- When taking out ice cream, do not knock the surface or edge of the container to avoid damage.
- Do not start the power switch if the ice cream container barrel or mixing fan blade is not properly installed.
- The compressor has a 3-minute protection time after switching modes (ice cream/refrigeration to shutdown and back). Unplugging and restarting the machine will bypass this delay.
- The product should not be disposed of with other household wastes in the EU. It should be recycled responsibly.
