Frequently Asked Questions - 48816 UNOLD

How to use the bottle cooling function?

Remove the ice reservoir and place the bottle directly in the hollow of the ice cream maker. Select 10 minutes on the timer and start the program. You can extend the time if necessary. For optimal efficiency, cover the neck with an insulating sleeve, without blocking the ventilation slots.

Can I add alcohol to the ice cream?

Yes, but in small quantities and preferably at the end of preparation, because alcohol prolongs freezing time. Add it when the ice cream is almost ready.

How to clean the ice cream machine after use?

Always unplug the device. Clean removable parts (reservoir, mixer, lid) with hot water and a little mild detergent. Wipe the housing with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor block or compressor. Dry well before reassembling.

What to do if the ice cream is still too soft after the cycle?

You can extend the time by pressing START/STOP for 2 seconds, then selecting additional time (in 10-minute increments) before restarting. The cycle can be repeated until desired consistency is achieved.

How to set the preparation time?

Press the ZEITWAHL/TIME button several times to choose between 10, 30, 40 or 50 minutes (20 minutes is not available). The selected time is displayed. Start with START/STOP. During operation, you can add 5 minutes by pressing the same button again, up to a maximum of 50 minutes.

Can I use fresh fruit with chunks?

Yes, puree the fruits just before preparation. Add fruit chunks or berries directly before the end of the cycle to avoid them being over-processed. Use ripe fruits for better taste.

What is the maximum filling capacity?

Do not fill the reservoir beyond three-quarters of its capacity, as ice cream increases in volume when freezing. The maximum preparation capacity is 1000 ml.

What does the alternating display mean?

The digital display alternately shows the remaining time and the reservoir temperature. This allows you to monitor the progress and temperature of the preparation.

How to store homemade ice cream?

Transfer the ice cream to a suitable container with a lid and place it in the freezer. Consume within a week. If it has partially melted, consume immediately. Homemade ice cream contains no preservatives; it is best fresh.

Does the appliance stop automatically?

Yes, at the end of the program, the appliance stops automatically and emits an audible signal (10 beeps). The display shows '0:00'. If the ice cream is not removed within 10 minutes, an automatic cooling is triggered in 10-minute cycles for up to 1 hour to prevent melting.
