To start ice cream preparation, in any case the START/PAUSE button has to be pressed after pre-cooling.

The PRE-COOL function can not be activated when the START/PAUSE button has been pressed earlier.

▲ CLEANING AND CARE OF YOUR SOLIS GELATERIA PRO

- Before you start cleaning, please check if the ice cream machine is turned off and unplugged. The ice cream machine is turned off when the light surrounding the POWER button and the entire control panel have gone out. Please wait for the compressor to completely cool out before cleaning the appliance.

CLEANING THE STAINLESS STEEL HOUSING

1. Wipe clean the housing and the display using a soft, damp cloth. Do neither use dry kitchen towels/cloths for the display nor aggressive or abrasive cleaners or scrubbing sponges to clean the housing and appliance accessories as they might scratch the surfaces.

Note: Never immerse the machine in water and never place it in dishwasher. Ensure that the buttons and display do not come in contact with water or cleaning agents.

1. To clean the ice cream bowl chamber, the machine needs to be at room temperature. Wipe clean the bowl chamber with a damp cloth, eventually using some washing-up liquid. Carefully remove possible remains of cream, milk, chocolate etc. with a soft cloth.

2. All surfaces must be completely dry before inserting the plug back into the power outlet.

CLEANING THE ICE CREAM BOWL

- Outside of the bowl chamber, fill half the ice cream bowl with warm water and add mild washing-up liquid. Leave the water in the ice cream bowl for approx. 10 - 20 minutes before cleaning it with a soft sponge and rinsing it with clear water. Only reinsert the ice cream bowl into the machine when it is completely dry.

• Attention: The ice cream bowl must not be cleaned in the dishwasher!

CLEANING THE LID

- The lid can be cleaned in warm water with mild washing-up liquid and a soft sponge. Do not use aggressive, abrasive cleaners or scrubbing sponges as they might scratch the surface of the lid. Only put the lid back on the ice cream bowl when it is completely dry.

CLEANING THE PADDLE

• Rinse the paddle with warm water and mild washing-up liquid. You can clean the middle section of the paddle and remove any ice cream remains with the enclosed bottle brush. Let the paddle dry completely before putting it into the ice cream bowl.
• Attention: The paddle can be cleaned in the top drawer of the dishwasher.

▲ STORAGE

1. Check if the machine is turned off and unplugged.
2. Check if the housing and all appliance parts are absolutely clean and completely dry.
3. Put the paddle into the ice cream bowl which in turn you should place in the bowl chamber.
4. Place the lid on the ice cream bowl.
5. Store the appliance in an upright position in a dry, dark place. Optimally, use the original packaging. Do not place anything on top of the appliance.

▲ TIPS FOR PERFECT ICE CREAM

• Please consider that preparation time of your ice cream depends on multiple factors: Room temperature, temperature of ingredients and whether or not the appliance is pre-cooled. The cooler the ingredients, the quicker ice cream preparation will be. Usually, preparing ice cream will take approx. 50 minutes.
• If you are preparing a recipe using warm ingredients, preparing the ice cream mixture one day in advance is advisable. If this is impossible, you should let the mixture cool out for at least 4 hours before putting it into the ice cream machine.
• Always remove the ice cream bowl from the machine when putting in the ingredients. Only put back the ice cream bowl after that.
• The recipes listed in this recipe book use cream, milk, eggs and sugar. When required due to health, allergies or a diet, similar foods can be used to replace these ingredients. However, please consider that this might change the taste and consistency of the ice cream.
• Most ice cream varieties increase in volume during cooling and churning. When not mentioned otherwise, all ice cream recipes listed in this recipe book will result in approx. 1 litre of frozen dessert. Should you desire to prepare other ice cream recipes, use a maximum amount of 700ml of ingredients to ensure that the mixture has enough room to gain in volume.
• Alcohol inhibits the mixture from freezing. Thus, it is advisable to add alcohol to the mixture just at the end of the preparation process.
• At the end of preparation, the consistency of the ice cream will usually be so soft that you can easily poke a spoon into it. If you want to serve the ice cream as scoops or on waffles or cones, putting it into the freezer for another two hours before serving is recommended.
• If you want to store the ice cream in the freezer, an air-tight container should be used. This will prevent ice crystals from forming. Covering the ice cream with baking paper will also counteract ice crystals.
• Note: Never place the ice cream bowl in the freezer!
• Homemade ice cream will taste best when consumed fresh, meaning within one week after preparation. However, it may be stored for up to two weeks in the freezer.
• If you want to serve ice cream directly from the freezer, you should let it stand at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes.

▲ TIPS FOR MAKING ICE CREAM WHEN USING WARM INGREDIENTS

Classic, creamy ice cream is made from a warm mixture of milk, cream and eggs.

With these tips, this variation will be particularly successful:

• Ensure that all ingredients are absolutely fresh.
• The eggs should be at room temperature. The recipes use medium-sized eggs, approx. weighing 59g.
  • Measure all ingredients before starting preparation and have them ready.
• Either use an egg whisk or an electric mixer. Whisk the egg yolks and the sugar until you have a lightly coloured, fluffy, thick mixture.

- For heating, use a saucepan with a heavy bottom.

- When heating cream/milk, do not let it boil! Take the cream/milk off the stove once little bubbles form at the side of the saucepan.

- While heating the cream/milk, whisk up the mixture of eggs and sugar. Only starting doing this when the cream/milk is heated up might cause the cream/milk getting too hot or separating later on.

- Ensure that the mixture is permanently stirred with a wooden spoon until it thickens. A wooden spoon with a flat bottom is suited best for this. To check if the mixture has reached the right consistency, dip the spoon into the mixture. When you take the spoon out of the mixture, run your finger down the back of spoon. If you can see a finger mark, the mixture is thick enough. Remove the saucepan from the stove.

- If the mixture separates or congeals, the heat was too high. In this case, you will need to start again.

- Do not leave the mixture unattended while cooking!

- The egg mixture will take approx. 5 - 15 minutes to thicken, depending on the quantity.

- Let the egg mixture cool out at room temperature and stir it occasionally to release heat until no steam is visible. When the egg mixture is cooled, place it in the fridge until it is well chilled.

- Cover the surface of the ice cream mixture with a cling film to avoid skin forming on top.

- To cool the ice cream mixture even quicker, you can transfer it into a metal bowl and, inturn, place the bowl in a cold water bath. Permanently stir the mixture until it is well chilled.

▲ VITAL INGREDIENTS FOR DELICIOUS ICE CREAM

Making delicious ice cream yourself from fresh, tasty ingredients that you can enjoy whenever you want becomes easy with the SOLIS Gelateria Pro ice cream machine. These are the basic ingredients:

EGGS

• The recipes use medium sized eggs, weighing approx. 59g. The eggs give the mixture volume, stabilize and emulsify it.
• Attention: Avoid using older eggs, especially if not cooking the egg mixture. Pregnant women are advised not to consume ice cream made with raw eggs.

SUGAR

• The recipes use raffinated sugar which easily dissolves and prevents forming of ice crystals.
• As a general rule: The more sugar you add, the lower the freezing point of the water in the mixture will be. This prevents the mixture from becoming a hard, large clump that is difficult to portion.

MILK

- The recipes use whole milk. Using skimmed milk is possible but will produce different results. Skimmed milk should only be used in recipes where cooking the mixture is not required. Skimmed milk increases the risk of the mixture separating during heating.

CREAM

• The recipes use liquid cream. Cream will make the mixture softer and more creamy.
• Reduced fat cream can only be used in recipes where heating the mixture is not required, as the risk of the mixture separating is high.

▲ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

QUESTION	ANSWER
The ice cream does not freeze.	You did not press the START/PAUSE buttonDoes the mixture contain alcohol? Too much was added, or too early.Be careful to ensure air circulation around the machine. We recommend a minimum distance of 15cm between appliance and adjacent items/the wall.
The paddle does not move.	The paddle doesn’t move when the PRE-COOL function is selected for the first 5 minutes.Check if the paddle is properly fitted onto the shaft. If the shaft doesn’t move either, please contact a SOLIS service center.
The lid does not lock.	The paddle and ice cream bowl are not properly positioned - ensure the handles of the bowl are inserted into the grooves in the bowl chamber and the paddle is fixed to the shaft.
The ice cream dessert is not frozen in stated time.	The mixture was too warm when added into the bowl.Different ingredients and quantities affect freezing time. Ingredients such as eggs or alcohol require a little more time.
The ice cream bowl can not be removed after preparation.	Ingredients may have spilt over the bowl’s side into the bowl chamber. Turn off the machine and let the ice cream melt for 10 to 20 minutes. Remove bowl and clean the inside of the bowl chamber.
How do I prepare very soft ice cream (soft serve)?	The varieties of ice cream on the hardness indicator only serve as a rough guide. Try out the softest setting, „Sorbet“. Should the ice cream turn out too soft, you can use a harder setting.
I want my ice cream even harder!	Remove finished ice cream from the bowl, place in an air-tight container and put in freezer for 1 to 2 hours or as long as it takes for ice cream to reach desired hardness.
Can I not add my mix-ins directly to the mixture?	We recommend adding mix-ins at the end when the ADD MIX-INS indicator is flashing. Note: Often ingredients will blend when added too early.
My ice cream machine seems to vibrate briefly.	The built-in compressor is mounted on special rubber feet to minimize noise and vibration during use. When no cooling is necessary, the compressor will automatically turn off and small vibrations could occur for 1 - 2 seconds. This is absolutely normal.
The control panel does not work.	Did you activate the child lock? Press the HOLD button ☑ for 2 seconds to deactivate the child lock.
The ice cream machine does not remember it's last setting.	The built-in computer will only remember settings when the START/PAUSE button was pressed.
Temperature is displayed in Fahrenheit.	Press the °F button to change temperature unit to Celsius.
Ice cream is not cooled although compressor is on.	Is the PRE-COOL function activated?To increase compressor life, a self timer is built in. Please allow 3 minutes for the compressor to reactivate.
My ice cream has many ice crystals in it. Why?When I get my ice cream from the freezer it is very hard. Why?Can I put the ice cream bowl into the freezer?	Some desserts have a higher water content which will make the mixture more icy.Homemade ice cream always is harder than bought ice cream, as it contains less air. We recommend taking the ice cream out of the freezer 5 to 10 minutes before serving.We do not recommend placing the ice cream bowl in the freezer. The ice cream will freeze solid in the bowl and be very difficult to remove. Please never use any sharp or metal tools to remove ice cream from the bowl, as this might scratch the surface.

Recipes

Note: One cup in these recipes equals a cup size of 250 ml.

The spoon test mentioned in some of the recipes works as follows: To test consistency, dip a wooden spoon into the crème. Take it out and run your finger down the back of the spoon. A visible finger mark should remain.

In this case, the mixture is thick enough.

SOLIS would like to wish you every success!
