USE
Operation
To make ice cream, mix the ingredients and pour into the pre-
cooled container. Stir with the dasher for between 20 and 40
minutes. The time taken to obtain ice cream depends on the
nature and quantity of ingredients used and temperature of the
cylinder.
Cooling the cylinder
- Before using the appliance, wash all parts in contact with
the ice cream thoroughly.
- Remove dasher and cover.
- Make sure the cylinder is perfectly clean. If necessary
wipe the inside with a damp cloth and dry carefully after
cleaning.
- Place the cylinder in the freezer as near the cold source as
possible (g. 1). Do not place anything in the cylinder and
do not cover. Allow adequate space around the cylinder.
Important!
The cylinder must be brought to the required temperature by
placing it in a freezer or the freezing compartment of a three
or four star refrigerator. The freezer must be regulated to a
temperature of –18°C/-0°F. If this temperature is not reached,
it will not be possible to use the cylinder to make ice cream.
The cylinder must be left in the freezer for the time given in the
following table.
Freezer temperature Minimum cylinder
freezing time
-30°C / -22°F
-25°C / -13°F
-18°C / 0°F
10-12 hours
12-14 hours
14-16 hours
To ensure it is always ready for use, the cylinder can be left
permanently in the freezer.
Making ice cream
Choose one of the three recipes provided and prepare the
blended ingredients.
- Remove the cylinder from the freezer
- Make sure the cylinder ring (G) and lid adapter (E) (g. 2)
are attached correctly to the cylinder (H).
Fit the motor assembly (B) to the lid (C) (g. 3), then attach
the dasher (F).
- Close the appliance by resting the assembled part (motor
assembly, lid and dasher) on the cylinder, making sure it is
correctly inserted in the guides (g. 5).
- Plug the appliance into the mains. Turn the appliance on by
pressing the ON/OFF button (A).
- Slowly pour in the ingredients through the opening in the
cover with the motor on to ensure the ingredients do not
have time to freeze on the cylinder walls.
- Pour the ingredients into the cylinder until it is NO MORE
THAN HALF FULL. During the process, the mixture will
expand.
- It is best to use ingredients at refrigerator temperature.
- During preparation, you can add chocolate chips, raisins or
other ingredients through the opening in the cover (g. 6).
Alcoholic ingredients should not be added until the end of
preparation as they considerably slow down chilling. The
ice cream will increase in volume until it lls the cylinder
during the last few minutes of preparation.
If an overly long delay before mixing leads to formation of an
excessively thick wall of ice blocking movement of the dasher,
proceed as follows: turn o the motor, remove the cover, use a
spatula or kitchen utensil to free the dasher and the surfaces of
the cylinder from ice; replace the cover and motor correctly and
start up the appliance immediately.
Once formed, the ice cream becomes more solid if left in the
container for several minutes (no more than thirty).
Important!
Do not leave the appliance in operation longer than necessary
