SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

Important:

• This appliance must not be laid on its side or turned upside down.
• Wait at least 1 hour after transporting the appliance before starting it.
• Do not leave the selector in the position for more than 1 minute.
  After the appliance have been shut off, always wait at least 5 minutes before starting it again.
• Use the appliance away from heat sources. Leave at least 8 in (20cm) between the appliance and walls or objects which could obstruct free air circulation.
• Do not remove the lid while the paddle is moving.
• Make sure ingredients such as milk and cream are cold (refrigerator temperature 41^ / 5^) . If ingredients were heated during preparation make sure they are cooled in the refrigerator before pouring into the machine.
• When raw eggs are to be used for gelato preparation, make sure they are fresh by breaking each egg separately into a bowl and check that it does not smell bad, the egg white is dense and sticks to the yolk, and the yolk is round and swollen.
• IMPORTANT: After turning the appliance off from "⊗" or "⊗", always wait at least 5 minutes before turning it on again.

DESCRIPTION OF SELECTOR

The selector has 4 different positions:

Paddle rotation (compressor off)

Use this function to mix the ingredients during the first phase of gelato preparation.

• Important: you cannot add ingredients to the bowl while the paddle is in motion.

0 Appliance off.

Chilling (compressor operating)

This function to add or taste ingredients during preparation or to stop the paddle to check the texture of the gelato.

If the recipe requires ingredients to be added (pieces of chocolate, raisins, fruit...), turn the selector to the position for a maximum of 1 minute.

Important: you must never leave the appliance in this position for more than 1 minute.

Leaving it in this position for longer could seriously damage the paddle rotation mechanism.

Combined paddle rotation and chilling (compressor operating)

This function to make the gelato through the combined action of the compressor and the paddle.

When the gelato reaches the required texture, place the selector in the 0 position to turn the appliance off. Normally each gelato making cycle lasts about 30 - 40 minutes.

Continuous functioning beyond this time will result in excessively hard gelato and serious damage to the paddle rotation mechanism.

Important: if you need to work the ingredients with a whisk (e.g., to froth the egg whites, beat the eggs and sugar, etc.), you are recommended to prepare the ingredients in a separate container and then pour them into the bowl.

Select the function to start making the gelato.

INSTRUCTIONS

ASSEMBLY AND DISSASSEMBLY

The appliance comes assembled in the packaging but should be taken apart for cleaning before use. To take the appliance apart, remove the lid, then remove the paddle from the pin in the center of the bowl. Then remove the bowl. Wash all parts thoroughly as described below in Cleaning section and then dry. To reassemble the appliance, insert the bowl and press downwards on the edge with the hands (fig. 1). Insert the paddle then fit the lid.

OPERATION

1) Assemble the appliance as described above.
2) You are recommended (fig. 3) to moisten the aluminum bottom of the appliance evenly with cotton wool dipped in alcohol for food use (such as vodka or rum) taking care not to pour it onto the central plastic area (fig. 3). Remember that alcohol is flammable. You should therefore perform this operation away from flames or hot stoves. This prevents the formation of ice between the bowl and aluminum bottom of the appliance, making it easier to extract the bowl when preparation is complete.
3) Place the ingredients required by the recipe in the bowl (note: some ingredients may need to be mixed thoroughly before being placed in the bowl) and fit the lid by turning counterclockwise. Bear in mind that the bowl holds a maximum of 2 3/4 cups (600 g).
4) Plug into a suitable outlet. Make sure there are no obstacles preventing air from circulating freely through the grilles at the sides.
5) Once you have added all the ingredients to the bowl, turn the appliance on by placing the selector in the position. Gelato should take 30-40 minutes to reach the desired consistency and should be checked periodically throughout preparation to ensure the gelato does not get too hard and freeze the paddle rotation mechanism.
6) Ingredients such as pieces of chocolate, raisins, and nuts should be added separately at the end of the freezing cycle about 5 minutes before gelato is ready.

Important: never use the appliance without the bowl. Make sure the outside surface of the bowl is completely dry before inserting it in the appliance.

ONCE THE GELATO IS READY

position. Remove the lid, the paddle and the bowl, then use the scoop provided to transfer the gelato to another container. If you would like to make multiple batches, clean the paddle and bowl and completely dry and follow the normal gelato preparation procedure. Do not freeze gelato directly in stainless steel bowl provided with the machine "C".

CLEANING AND TRANSPORT

Before cleaning, always turn the appliance off by placing the selector in the 0 position and unplug the appliance from the outlet.

Always wash the components of the appliance in direct contact with the ingredients thoroughly whenever you use the appliance.

Paddle, bowl and lid can also be washed in the top rack of a dishwasher.

You are recommended to use a short low temperature program when using the dishwasher.

Dry the bottom of the bowl thoroughly (fig. 2) before use to avoid ice forming during gelato preparation, thus prolonging the gelato preparation time.

The appliance must not be laid on its side or turned upside down.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the machine is not functioning correctly the following may be checked before calling the customer service center.

PROBLEM	SOLUTION
Gelato is not freezing	If gelato is still in liquid form after about 20 minutes of the machine running, check to make sure control is in the position. Ensure that ingredients are at refrigerator temperature (41°F/5°C) and machine was not laid on its side or upside down prior to use.
Compressor is loud and is making an unusual noise	Make sure gelato maker is on a flat surface. If gelato maker was transported ensure that it is allowed to sit 1 hour before use.
Paddle does not rotate	Gelato may be too hard. Ensure that the paddle rotation mechanism is not damaged by running the appliance without the paddle to see if it spins. If it does not spin without the paddle, call customer service.
