"GELATO GRAND"

"GELATO GRAND" is sold complete with all the accessories for use with fixed or removable bowl. In the original packaging, the removable bowl is stored inside the fixed bowl.

IMPORTANT ABOUT THE USE

• Hygiene is the most important aspect of ice cream making. Make sure that all the parts, in particular those coming in direct contact with the ice cream, are scrupulously clean.
- Never turn off the freezing switch (B) when the machine is working. In case you accidentally switch it off or the power fails, wait at least 10 minutes before turning it on again. The compressor is fitted with a safety device to prevent any possible damage to the motor unit. Should you restart the machine immediately after it has been switched off, the compressor will not freeze.
- Variations in speed and noise during ice-cream making are also to be expected and in no way affect the unit's normal functioning.
- Keep the appliance far enough from walls and furniture, which might restrict air circulation, necessary for cooling the unit. It is normal for warm or hot air to flow from the lateral air vents. The

refrigeration process requires this.

PREPARING ICE CREAM

1). Carefully clean all parts in direct contact with ingredients. Warning: make sure that the unit is unplugged before starting cleaning.
2). Assemble the motor unit with the cover (Fig. 1) and fit the mixing paddle (C) to the motor unit (H+G).
3). Lock the motor unit into position in line with the locking ring (F). The raised area on the bottom of the paddle will need to be in line with the cleft on the bottom of the fixed bowl.
4). Connect the cord for the paddle motor (I) to the socket on the machine body. Warning: do not connect the cord into the mains supply as you may damage the machine!
5). Press (B) to switch the freezer on. Allow to run for 5 minutes before use.
6). Press (E) switch to start the mixing paddle.
7). Pour the mixture into the bowl. For best results, it is recommended that you pre-mix the ingredients in a separate bowl to obtain a smooth, lump-free mixture. Always use ingredients at fridge temperature to reduce temperature differences and cut down preparation time.

8). When ice cream has reached a good consistency, the paddle will change direction. This in no way damages the motor or the paddle, but it is nonetheless a good idea to turn the motor off as soon as it occurs. Preparation time varies according to quantity, temperature of the mix, type of ice cream (cream-style or sherbet), and room temperature. If a firmer consistency of ice cream is desired, leave the freezing switch on for further 5-10 minutes.
9). Turn off the switch for the paddle motor and remove the motor unit by pressing the button (N) and turning it in an anti-clockwise direction. Unplug the machine.
10). To remove the ice cream for serving or storing, use the spatula (L) provided. Do not use metal tools!
11). Allow the motor to cool down (approximately 10 minutes); it is then possible to make a new batch of ice cream by repeating all the above operations.
12). Unplug the unit when finished.

USING REMOVABLE BOWL

Using the removable bowl makes it easier to make consecutive batches of ice cream. When using the removable bowl:

1). Pour one measuring cup (M) (25ml) full of brandy or other liquor into the fixed bowl. Alternatively, you can use a mixture of salt and water (20ml water and 5g salt). THE WALL OF THE REMOVABLE BOWL MUST BE COMPLETELY WET: this operation is most important to allow the good cold transmission from fixed to removable bowl.
2). Insert the removable bowl (D) securely; ensure there is a good contact between the fixed and the removable bowl.
3). Follow the procedure described in the paragraph "USING THE FIXED BOWL" from point 2 to point 10.
4). Remove the bowl (D). If you wish, you may leave the ice cream in the bowl and use it to store the product in the freezer (-12°C**).
5). Unplug the unit when finished.

USEFUL HINTS

• Mix and blend ice-cream ingredients in a separate bowl.
• Use pre-cooled ingredients.
• DO NOT FILL THE BOWL ANY MORE THAN HALF WAY. This will allow the volume to increase during churning to maximum bowl capacity.
• To avoid the forming of ice or frost, do not leave the ice cream in the bowl for too long with the refrigeration on. Turn off the unit as soon as the ice cream has reached the desired consistency.

HOW TO MAKE AN EXCELLENT ICE-CREAM

Making good, healthy, natural ice cream, with the right consistency, depends on the following factors:

• An appliance is in good working order: leave enough space on the sides of the unit so as to allow air to circulate freely. This air is necessary to cool the compressor.
  • Good, fresh ingredients.
• A good recipe: a perfect blend of ingredients and perfect processing.

CLEANING THE MACHINE

• Make sure the machine is switched off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Remove the paddle from the motor unit by pulling it; the transparent lid can be separated from the motor unit by pushing it as in Fig.1. Wash the paddle (C), the clear lid (H) and the removable bowl (D) in warm, soapy water.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the body of the machine (A) and the paddle motor unit (G). NEVER IMMERSE THE MAIN BODY OF THE ICE CREAM MAKER OR THE PADDLE MOTOR UNIT IN WATER!

- When the removable aluminium bowl is used, it is essential to eliminate every trace of salt/water solution from the parts that come in contact with it, in order to prevent corrosion.

STORING ICE-CREAM

• In the ice cream maker.

When the ice cream is ready you can keep it covered in the ice cream maker for approximately 10-20 minutes. Before serving, start the motor and allow to churn for a few minutes to regain the right consistency and smoothness.

• In the freezer.

The ice cream can also be stored in the freezer for up to 1-2 weeks, depending on the ingredients used. Do not store it for too long, in any case never more than two weeks, as it will lose flavour and quality. Should you wish to store the ice cream in the freezer pay attention to the following:

• Store the ice cream in a clean, well sealed bowl suitable for freezing.
• Storage temperature must be at least -14°C.
• Attach a label to the bowl with the date when it was made and what kind of ice cream it is.

WARNING!

• Ice cream is sensitive to the bacteria. Consequently it is very important that the ice cream maker and the utensils used are well cleaned and dried.
  • TAKE CARE NEVER TO REFREEZE THE ICE CREAM ONCE IT HAS MELT.
• Remove the ice cream from the freezer half an hour before to serve it. Eventually you could leave it for 10/15 minutes at the room temperature to let it reach the adequate serving temperature.

HELPFUL HINTS

• Certain recipes involve cooking. Prepare them at least a day in advance to ensure they are chilled thoroughly and expand. It is always advisable to chill the basic mixture.
• In the case of cold mixtures, the best results are obtained by beating the eggs and sugar with an electric whisk. This helps increase the volume of the mixture.
• The majority of mixtures consist of cream, milk, eggs and sugar. You can use whatever cream you wish, but the flavour and texture will change greatly according to the quality of cream chosen. The higher the percentage of fat in the cream, the richer the ice cream will be. For example, whole cream contains a minimum of 36% fat, whipped cream 30% , cream for coffee or skimmed cream 18% and half cream plus half milk 10% . In all cases, the important thing is to always maintain the same quantity of liquid. For example, the lightest ice cream can be made by using more milk than cream, or by eliminating the cream altogether. You can also use skimmed milk, but the texture of the ice cream will be very different.
• The ice cream mixture can be kept in the freezer for a number of days. Shake it well before pouring it into the bowl.
• Add the mixture to the bowl ensuring it is no more than half full. The mixture increases in volume during preparation.
• Alcoholic ingredients slow down the chilling process. Liquors should therefore be added during the final minutes of preparation.
• The flavour of sorbets depends largely on the degree of ripeness and sweetness of the fruit and juice used. Taste the fruit before adding to the recipe. If it is too acidic, add sugar. If it is very ripe, add less sugar or leave it out altogether. Remember that the cold reduces sweetness.
• Sweeteners can be used as an alternative to sugar. In this case, add the sweetener to the mixture and mix until completely dissolved.
• Mixtures which require heating must not be poured into the bowl until they are completely cold.
• If you want to make the mixture sweeter during preparation, do not add sugar directly into the cylinder (it does not dissolve). It is recommended you dissolve the sugar in a little water or skimmed milk and pour the

resulting syrup (cooled) into the bowl.

• The fruit used in the recipes must always be washed and dried before use. Even when not specified, fruit must always be peeled, shelled, destoned, etc.
  • To reduce the quantity of ice cream, the quantities indicated can be broken down or halved.
• When using raw eggs, make sure they are fresh by breaking them one at a time into a container and checking that:

1). They do not have a bad smell.

2). The white is not watery but dense and adhering to the yolk.

3). The yolk is round and swollen.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

Under normal conditions, ice cream preparation does not require more than 40 minutes.

If the ice cream is still not formed after 40 minutes, check the following points before contacting an authorised service agent.

• The ingredients must be poured into the ice cream maker at room temperature or, preferably, at fridge temperature. Ice cream cannot be made from hot ingredients.
• The bowl must not be filled more than half way. If the quantity of ingredients is excessive, the time required to form the ice cream increases considerably and the result may not be satisfactory.
• The compressor is fitted with a safety device. In the event of power failure, or if the appliance is turned off then on again for any reason, operation of the chilling system is interrupted. If this device trips, the appliance must be left for five minutes before turning on again. If the five minute pause is not respected, operation will not commence, even if the chilling button is in the ON position and the relative indicator light is on.

ATTENTION: PIs keep the packaging boxes. They will be necessary in case you should return the machine for repair or you should return it for any other reason. If the machine will be sent back with a packaging box not suitable for transportation all repairing charges will be at charge of the sender, even if the machine is under warranty. If the machines doesn't need to be repaired and the package will not be suitable the machine will be returned to the sender too.
