• Discard the complete packing material after unpacking the device.
• Place the device on top of an even and safe surface which supports the weight of the device and is stable.
• Not at any time should you place the device on an inflammable surface (such as: table cloth, etc.).
• You must not position the device near open fireplaces, electric ovens/arc furnaces, furnaces/electric heaters or other heat sources.
• Place the device in an area inaccessible to children.
• Make sure there is a minimum distance of 15cm between the wall and the back and the sides of the device, in order to provide sufficient air circulation
• Never block the ventilation slots.
• Wait at least one hour until the refrigerant has settled before connecting the device to a socket.
• The electrical circuit in the socket must be secured to at least 16A. Only connect the device directly to the wall socket; do not use any extension cords or power strips.
• Place the device so that the plug is easily accessible and can be quickly removed from its socket in case of necessity.

5.3 Operating

Preparing the device

• Prior to first use, wash all parts of the device that will be in contact with food products with warm water and a mild cleaning agent (transparent lid, filling port, ice cream container, stirring staff, measuring cup, ice cream scoop). Rinse all parts in clean water and dry thoroughly.
• Wipe the device with a soft, moist cloth.
• Ensure the device is not connected to a socket.
• Prepare all the ingredients for making ice cream and fill the removable ice cream container with them.

CAUTION!

Never fill the ice cream container beyond half of its capacity! Ice cream expands during the last few minutes of production and will fill the entire container.

NOTE!

Always fill the ice cream container with cooled ingredients and never hot ingredients!

• Place the ice cream container into the cooling cylinder.
• Place the stirring staff into the ice cream container.

• Mount the lid safely on to the housing, so that it snaps into the provided grooves (see picture at right).
• Now mount the engine so that it is connected with the stirring staff and the connector of the housing.
• Close the filling port of the lid with provided cover.

Preparing ice cream

• Connect the device to an appropriate single power socket.
• Turn the device on by the POWER button on the control panel. The factory-set time of "60:00" will be displayed and both control lights will come on.
• By pressing the TIMER button on the control panel the time can be set to 50, 40, 30, 20 or 10 minutes.
  After setting the time, press START/STOP to begin making ice cream.
• The display alternated between the remaining time and temperature in the ice cream container.

• During ice cream preparation, according to your taste, you may add e. g. fruits, chocolate chips, raisins, nuts, almonds etc. through the filling port of the lid.

• When the set time is reached a signal tone resounds and the device stops making ice cream off automatically. Ice cream preparation is finished.

• If the device is not activated within 10 minutes, it automatically enters into cooling mode and the compressor cools for the next 10 minutes. The stirring staff does not operate. The cooling process is continued at 10-minute intervals, and after 60 minutes the device shuts off entirely.
• If the stirring staff stops before the set time has elapsed, turn the device off manually by pressing START/STOP. Ice cream preparation is then finished.
• Disconnect the device by removing its plug from the socket, and remove the device and lid from the device. Follow the instructions on the lid.
• Lastly, remove the stirring staff from the ice cream container.

Removing and serving ice cream

• Remove the ice cream container from the cooling cylinder and transfer the ice cream to an appropriate container or serving dish.

CAUTION!

Use only a plastic or wooden spoon to remove ice cream, in order to avoid damaging the ice cream container!

• Stir the ice cream for a few minutes before serving, in order to achieve proper consistency.
• The ice cream container can be washed with warm water and a soft cloth after it has been emptied of ice cream and reached room temperature.
• Frozen ice cream can be stored for a limited time in appropriate containers, but after long storage it loses its flavour and quality. This process begins after approx. one to two weeks of storage.
• Store ice cream at a maximum temperature of -12^ C . Mark the container with the date of production and flavour.

CAUTION!

Ice cream is a good environment for bacteria growth.

The ice cream maker and containers for ice cream storage must be kept in perfect cleanliness and dryness. Never re-freeze melted or thawed ice cream!

• Approximately 20 minutes before serving the ice cream, take it out of the freezer and put the container into the refrigerator for 10 minutes. The ice cream may also be stored at room/ambient temperature for 10 to 15 minutes in order to reach the appropriate temperature for consumption.

Settings while the device is operating

• The ice cream making process can be interrupted by pressing the START/STOP button for three seconds, or by pressing POWER. To reactivate the device, start from the beginning and reset the time by pressing the button marked TIMER.
• To change the operating time while the device is in use, press TIMER; time can be only increased (not decreased) by 5-minute intervals. The time set will be shown on the digital display.

Extending operating time

• To continue making ice cream after the operating time has expired (e.g. because the consistency of the ice cream is unsatisfactory), the operating time can be set again (10/20/30/40/50/60) by pressing TIMER then START/STOP.
  Cooling will resume after 3 minutes.
• The ice cream making process will return to the beginning with the set operating time.
• When the set time is reached a signal tone sounds and the device switches off automatically. The device enters into cooling mode and keeps the ice cream cold for 10 minutes. The cooling process is continued at 10-minute intervals (up to 60 minutes). After 60 minutes the device switches off completely.

Tips for preparing ice cream

Always cool the ingredients before making ice cream.
- Do not cool the ingredients in a freezer, as frozen ingredients can block the stirring staff.
- Most recipes contain cream, milk, eggs and sugar. For better results in ice cream preparation we recommend that you beat the eggs and sugar with an electric blender prior to preparation, in order to increase the volume of the ice cream
- Taste and consistency of the ice cream very much depend on the chosen ingredients: the more fat content, the firmer the ice cream. A heavy cream contains at least 36% fat. Light cream contains 10 - 18% fat.
- Try to use a constant amount of liquid every time, e. g.: the lightest ice cream can be produced by using more milk than cream or milk only.
- You may also use low fat milk, although this affects the consistency of the ice cream.
- Sorbet's taste very much depends on the ripeness and sweetness of the fruits and the juice. Taste the fruits before using them as ingredients. If they are too sour, add some sugar; if they are very ripe instead, add little sugar or none at all. Please remember that cold reduces sweetness.

• In order to sweeten the ice cream during the preparation/production process, do not add the sugar or sweetener directly into the ice cream container (it will not dissolve). Instead dissolve the sugar in a bit of water or low-fat milk and pour the syrup (cooled) into the ice cream container.
• When using fruits in the recipe, they must always be washed and dried before preparation, pulses always must be shelled and pitted. Fix a separate mix with these ingredients using a blender before adding them to the ice cream.
• When using eggs, make sure they are fresh.
• Many recipes recommend cooking ingredients, so prepare them a day before preparation in order to ensure they are cold.
