"Frozen juice / Frozen cocktail" mode

• In this mode, the outlet spout assembly is used without the star-shaped ice cream nozzle (2).
• Add juices without particles. If using natural juices, it is recommended to strain them to prevent blockage of the nozzle/outlet spout.

• This mode offers no consistency adjustments; the “−/+” touch icons (24/23) are not available.

• Add between 600 ml and 1300 ml of juice or cocktail mixture to the inlet hopper seat (9).

• Start the programme with the Start/Pause touch icon (19) in "Frozen juice / Frozen cocktail" mode (28) and wait for completion.
• When finished, the audible alarm will sound for 3 seconds and the LED display (17) will show "COOL".
• Place a glass beneath the outlet spout and operate the dispensing lever (16) to serve the beverage (target temperature: 2–5°C).
• After completion, the machine automatically enters conservation mode and maintains temperature for 12 hours. Dispense all contents within that time frame (12 hours).

"Smoothie" modes (Smoothie, Cocktail smoothie, Red wine smoothie, Coffee smoothie)

• The outlet spout is used without the star-shaped ice cream nozzle (2).
• Only pure liquid should be added, without pulp or solids. The total quantity of ingredients must be between 600 and 1300 ml.
• To prevent agitation overload and overflow due to expansion/foam, do not exceed the maximum capacity mark. For proper thermal control and stable

ENGLISH

operation, fill at least to the minimum capacity mark (see Figure 2).

• Performance is better at maximum capacity; try to prepare smoothies with the appliance filled to the maximum permitted level.
• Mixture requirements: sugar content (Brix) > 6%. If the recipe contains alcohol, the permitted alcohol content is 2% to 16% vol. Do not use the machine outside this range.
• Select the desired consistency/firmness using the decrease "-" (24) and increase "+" (23) touch icons and press the Start/Pause touch icon (19) to begin.
• When the smoothie is ready, the machine emits 3 beeps and the LED display (17) shows "COOL". The machine enters conservation mode and maintains temperature cycles. Place a glass beneath the outlet spout and operate the dispensing lever (16) to serve.
• Conservation time: "Coffee smoothie" mode (32) maintains conservation for 2 hours; the remaining smoothie modes (29–31) maintain conservation for 12 hours.

"Cooling only" mode

● The outlet spout is used without the star-shaped ice cream nozzle (2).
- You may add liquid ingredients without overflowing the cooling cylinder (12).
- In this mode, the mixing paddle (13) does not operate; only the cooling system is activated for 5 minutes.
- The machine stops automatically when those 5 minutes are completed. This mode has no conservation function.

Preset / Delay Start function

• From the home screen, use the Menu touch icon (22) until the Preset touch icon (20) becomes illuminated.
• Press the Preset touch icon (20): the LED display (17) will show the delayed start time. Each touch adds 30 minutes, up to a maximum of 24 hours before start. With prolonged pressing, the time increases rapidly. Upon reaching 24 hours, the value clears/resets.
• After setting the desired time, press the Start/Pause touch icon (19) to enter the delayed start countdown. When the countdown ends, the machine immediately begins preparation.
• To cancel the Delay Start function once the countdown has begun, press the Start/Pause touch icon (19).

Clean mode

1. Fill the inlet hopper seat (9) with clean water up to the maximum level mark. Water temperature must not exceed 50° C ( 122° F).
2. Switch on the machine and select the cleaning mode using the Clean touch icon (18). The cleaning time is 30 minutes by default.
3. Upon completion of cleaning, drain the water from the cooling cylinder (12) by operating the dispensing lever (16).
4. If residues persist after cleaning, repeat the operation. For deep cleaning, disassemble the transparent cylinder front cover (15) and mixing paddle (13). Refer to the Cleaning section for further details.

Protection function

1. Agitation motor protection

- During operation, to prevent the agitation motor from jamming due to the progressive increase in product consistency/firmness (ice cream or smoothie), the control software monitors motor load and automatically stops it when necessary to protect motor lifespan.

1. Compressor protection (frequent start prevention)

- To prevent repeated starts at very short intervals, if the compressor restarts in less than 3 minutes from when it stopped, a protection time of approximately 3 minutes is applied before allowing restart.

- However, if the power cable is unplugged for more than 20 seconds, reconnected and the machine started, the compressor will restart by default without said delay.

1. Protection by removal/drop of the transparent front cover assembly

- To prevent abnormal operation of the compressor and agitator motor and to prevent injury, when the transparent cylinder front cover assembly (transparent cylinder front cover (15) and gasket (14)) becomes loose, falls off, or is removed, the associated safety switch detects the condition.

- In this situation, the machine cannot start and the message "OPEN" is showed on the LED display (17).

Usage tips

1. Capacity and level control

- To avoid increased mixing load and overflow due to expansion of the ingredients, do not exceed the maximum capacity mark (MAX) on the inlet hopper seat (9).

- For accurate temperature control and stable operation, always add at least up to the minimum capacity mark (MIN) (see Figure 5).

- Performance is optimal when working close to maximum capacity; whenever possible, prepare ice cream/smoothies with the appliance loaded up to the MAX mark.

1. Variable completion time

- The total processing time may vary depending on: ambient temperature, initial temperature of the ingredients, sugar content, and the firmness/consistency level selected on the consistency level indicator (25).

1. Formulation requirements (sugars and alcohol)

• Use blends with Brix (percentage of sugars) > 6 %.

- If the recipe contains alcohol, the alcohol content must be > 2 % vol. and < 16 % vol. Do not use the machine outside this range.

- Otherwise, the cooling cylinder (12) could freeze solid, causing scratches on the mixing paddle (13) and damage to the machine.

1. Pre-cooled ingredients

- Pouring pre-chilled ingredients into the inlet hopper seat (9) improves efficiency.

1. Natural juices

- If you use natural juices, it is recommended to strain them to remove any solid

ENGLISH

particles and prevent the outlet spout from becoming blocked.

1. Do not stop stirring during processing

- When making ice cream/smoothie, do not stop stirring. If the liquid solidifies or freezes before restarting, the mixing may fail or the agitation motor may not restart properly.

1. Condensation in the transparent cover

- Condensation on the outside of the transparent cylinder front cover (15) is normal in humid weather or during long periods of operation.

4. Cleaning and maintenance

Disassembly

Before disassembly, pour in clean tap water, start Clean mode (18) for about 30 minutes, and then drain the liquid through the outlet spout by operating the dispense lever (16).

1. Disconnect the power supply, turn the transparent cylinder front cover (15) anticlockwise to the unlocked position (Figure 6), remove the cover (15) and then remove the mixing paddle (13); clean them thoroughly and dry them with a towel.
2. Remove the drip tray (5) with its grid (6), pour out the liquid inside, clean it thoroughly and dry it with a towel.
3. Cleaning the outlet spout: remove the outlet spout cap (1) (Figure 7), press and hold the outlet spout bracket latch (Figure 8), open the dispensing lever (16) and remove the outlet spout assembly — gasket seat (3) + nozzle gasket (4) + star-shaped nozzle (2), depending on configuration — (Figure 9). Then clean it and reassemble it in the reverse order of disassembly.
4. Use a clean towel to dry the cooling cylinder (12) and the fixed rear sealing ring.

Note: The rear sealing ring is a fixed part; it cannot be removed and should not be pulled on to avoid deformation, which can cause leaks and render the machine unusable.
