Frequently Asked Questions - GELATO1SS BAUMATIC

How do I start making ice?

Fill the water tank up to the MAX line, plug in the unit, and press the power button. Select ice cube size (small or large) and the machine will start automatically.

How long does it take to make ice?

The first batch typically takes about 6-8 minutes, but subsequent batches may be faster. Full cycle time depends on ambient temperature.

Why is my ice maker not producing ice?

Check if the water tank is empty, the unit is level, and the ambient temperature is within 10-32°C. If the ice basket is full, the machine will stop automatically.

Can I use tap water?

Yes, but using filtered or distilled water reduces mineral buildup and improves ice clarity. Avoid carbonated or hot water.

How do I clean the ice maker?

Use the self-cleaning function with a mixture of water and mild vinegar (or use the provided cleaner if available). Run a few empty cycles afterward to rinse.

What does the 'Add Water' indicator mean?

It means the water level is too low. Refill the tank with fresh water up to the MAX line. The machine will resume automatically.

How to select ice cube size?

Press the 'Ice Size' button on the control panel. The LED will indicate 'S' for small or 'L' for large. The setting changes for the next batch.

Is the ice maker safe to leave unattended?

Yes, it has automatic shut-off when the ice basket is full or water is low. However, always follow basic safety precautions.

What if the ice tastes odd?

Run a few cleaning cycles with vinegar solution to remove any residues. Use fresh, clean water and change it daily. Wipe the interior with a soft cloth.

Where can I find spare parts?

Contact Baumatic customer service or visit their official website. Authorized service centers also stock parts. Provide your model number GELATO1SS.

Prior to making ice cream

• Your appliance MUST be placed on a flat surface, to ensure that the built in compressor operates properly.
• The appliance MUST have 20 cm of space each side of it and the ventilation slot should not be obstructed.
• IMPORTANT: The appliance MUST NOT be connected to your mains supply until all of the steps below have been followed.
• Thoroughly wash all parts of the appliance that will come into contact with ingredients and ice cream (including the fixed bowl, removable bowl, mixing arm and transparent cover).
  o Prepare the required recipe ingredients, by following your own recipe or from one contained in this user manual.
• Place the prepared ingredients into the removable bowl. IMPORTANT: There is no need to freeze the ingredients prior to placing them inside the ice cream maker. The appliance has a built in compressor which will do this.

○ IMPORTANT: DO NOT fill the removable bowl more than 80% full, as the contents will expand during the cooling process and there is the chance of the bowl overflowing.

- Place the removable bowl inside of the fixed bowl and then place the mixing arm inside of the removable bowl. The mixing arm should just rest inside the centre of the bowl, with the circle side facing upwards.

- Insert the mixing arm into the socket that is found in the base of the motor section. IMPORTANT: You must ensure that the mixing arm is securely fixed into the socket.

- Place the transparent cover on the top of the appliance, making sure that it is firmly fixed in position. Finally make sure that the small lid is securely in place on the transparent cover.

Making ice cream

- Connect your appliance to your mains supply, making sure that the electrical connection information contained in this booklet has been read and followed.

- Press the ON/OFF button and then set the required time by turning the timer dial.

○ A 40 minute time setting will give soft textured ice cream, the default operating time of 50 minutes will give medium textured ice cream and a 60 minute time setting will give hard textured ice cream.

- The LCD display will show the temperature progressively decreasing as the appliance begins to function. It will indicate that it has entered its cooling phase by showing the temperature it's reached.

- When the countdown period ends, the cooling process will end automatically and an audible signal will sound.

- Switch the appliance off using the ON/OFF button and unplug the appliance from your mains supply.

Removal and storage of ice cream

IMPORTANT: Before attempting to remove the ice cream, YOU MUST disconnect the appliance from your mains supply.

• Take out the removable bowl from the fixed bowl.
• The removable bowl should not be used for long term storage of ice cream in a freezer. The maximum time period that the removable bowl should be placed in a freezer for is 30 minutes. If the removable bowl is placed in a freezer for longer than this, it may be damaged.
• If you wish to store the ice cream for longer than 30 minutes, then you should use a plastic scoop or wooden spoon to remove the ice cream. IMPORTANT: DO NOT use a metal scoop or spoon to remove the ice cream; otherwise the removable bowl will get scratched.
  Once removed, you should place the ice cream in a plastic, airtight container. We do not recommend that ice cream made in this appliance is stored for a prolonged period. After 1 – 2 weeks, the structure of the ice cream will deteriorate and the fresh taste will be lost.
• You should ensure that the freezer is maintaining a temperature of at least -18°.
• You should mark the date that you prepared the ice cream on the lid of the container.
• If you partially or fully defrost the ice cream, then DO NOT refreeze it.
• Thoroughly wash all parts of the appliance that came into contact with the ingredients and ice cream (including the fixed bowl, removable bowl, mixing arm and transparent cover).

Extended cooling function

• After the ice cream making process has completed, if the appliance is not switched off within 10 minutes, then it will enter the extended cooling function.
• The extended cooling function will keep the ice cream frozen and stop it from defrosting.
• The extended cooling function will run for a maximum of 1 hour, after which the appliance will enter stand-by mode. After 1 hour, the ice cream will no longer remain frozen.

Adjusting settings

• If you wish to stop the ice cream making process before the countdown time has elapsed, you should press the ON/OFF button.
• Whilst a countdown time is in progress, it is possible to adjust the countdown time by turning the timer dial to your required setting.
  When the appliance has finished a countdown time, if the ice cream is not to your required consistency then it is possible to extend the cooling time. Turn the timer dial to your required additional countdown time.
