1. Lid with filling hole

3. Stainless steel ice cream container

1. Ice cream programme

2. Yoghurt programme

3. Stirring speed setting

Turning on the machine

1. Plug the device plug into a power

outlet. The power icon appears in the lower right corner of the display.

2. Press and hold to turn on the machine.

3. Press and hold the power icon to turn

off the machine at any time. Preparing the ice cream

1. Prepare the ice cream mixture

according to the recipe. Ice cream mixtures that have to be heated beforehand should be prepared the day before so that the mixture has enough time to cool down.

2. Cool the ice cream mixture until it

reaches refrigerator temperature.

3. Insert the ice cream container into the

corresponding space in the machine body. Make sure that the wings at the top edge of the ice cream container fit into the matching slots in the machine.

4. Place the stirring insert upright onto

the shaft at the bottom of the ice cream container.27

5. Add chilled ingredients into the

removable ice cream container. Be careful not to exceed the maximum capacity. The ice cream container should be at least 1/3 full, maximum 2/3 full, as the ice cream mixture expands during the freezing process.

6. Place the lid on the ice cream

container and turn it counter- clockwise until it locks into place.

to set the speed of the stirring arm; 3 levels are available. Select the desired level by pressing the button several times.

9. The machine is pre-programmed to

45 minutes. We recommend this setting for ice cream mixtures that have been properly chilled ahead of time. Adjust the time as you wish using the arrow keys. Hold down the arrow keys to change the time in 10-minute increments. You can adjust the duration of the programme at any time using the arrow keys.

10. Now press the "Start/Stop" button

to start the programme. The status "Cooling" will appear in the display. You can cancel the programme at any time by pressing the ice cream cone icon.

11. During the programme, the remaining

time and current cooling

12. temperature are alternately shown

on the display. When making ice cream, the temperature is usually between -12 and -20 °C, depending on environmental factors.

13. The ice cream is ready when it has

a creamy consistency resembling a very thick milkshake. If the machine has stopped on its own, the motor protection feature has kicked in and the ice cream has already set. When the set time has expired, the machine will make the acoustic signal you previously selected. If the machine is on mute, there will be no beep. The display flashes and shows "Ready!".

14. Now remove the ice cream. If the

container is not removed within 10 minutes, the post-cooling function will begin automatically. To be able to form scoops, we recommend freezing the ice cream for approx. 60 minutes in a suitable container in the freezer. Pre-cool function The ice cream programme allows you to select the pre-cool function. Pre-cooling mode brings the machine and the coolant - and thus the ice cream container used - to the right temperature for making ice cream. You can use this mode to make the ice cream mixture ready for freezing a little faster. The pre-cool function lasts 5 minutes.28

1. Select the pre-cool function.

2. Press Start/Stop. The pre-cool

function will now start. The machine displays "Cooling". The stirring arm does not rotate in this mode; only the compressor is active.

3. You can cancel pre-cooling mode at

any time by pressing the pre-cool button again.

4. An acoustic signal sounds when pre-

cooling mode has finished. Now add the ice cream mixture and confirm with the "Start/Stop" button. Post-cooling function The post-cooling function keeps your ice cream cold if it is not immediately removed. The post-cooling programme automatically starts 10 minutes after the ice cream programme has finished. The machine stirs only occasionally so that the ice cream does not turn solid. You can pause post-cool mode by pressing the "Start/Stop" button. Note that the compressor will continue to run to protect it from being switched on and off too frequently. Remove the ice cream as soon as possible. Adjustment of stirring speed You can use the corresponding button to adjust the stirring speed of the ice cream machine. The speed determines how much air is worked under the ice and the fineness of the ice crystals formed. The highest setting yields the airiest ice cream with the finest ice crystals. This setting is particularly suitable for milk-based ice cream, which is particularly good at retaining the air that has been worked in to the mixture. The slowest setting is particularly suitable for sorbet, which retains little air due to the ingredients used. Try out different possibilities and prepare your ice cream the way you like it. Tips for perfect ice cream

• Self-made ice cream tastes best when fresh. It does not contain any preservatives and should therefore be eaten immediately, if possible.

• Always use very fresh eggs for your ice cream.

• Always use fully ripe fruits for fruit ice cream and only add them at the end of the preparation time through the opening in the lid.

• Only puree fruit just prior to preparation and add any fruit pieces only towards the end of the cycle.

• Instead of sugar, you can also use honey or syrup as sweeteners.

• The colder the ice cream mass is before beginning with the preparation, the shorter the preparation time.

• Alcohol lengthens the freezing time.29 Use ingredients containing alcohol sparingly and add these only at the end of the freezing time.

• For storage, do not use the device’s ice cream bowl but rather move the ice cream to a suitable container with a lid. You can prevent the formation of ice crystals by ensuring that your container contains as little air as possible or by storing it upside down – this way, the crystals gather on the lid and not on the ice cream.

• You can achieve optimal results by filling at least 1/3 of the ice cream container. Fill the container to the max. mark to prevent overflowing. The ice cream expands during the freezing process.

• Please note: The ice cream mass always tastes overly sweet before freezing. However, if you taste the frozen ice cream later on, it will taste perfect.

• Consume the ice cream within a week and never refreeze thawed or defrosted ice cream. Preparing yoghurt Please also note the instructions for the production of yogurt in the recipe booklet included with delivery.

1. Prepare the yoghurt mixture

according to the instructions.

2. Add the yoghurt mixture to the

removable ice cream container. There is no minimum fill level here; fill the container up to a maximum of 2 cm below the edge.

3. Insert the container without the

stirring arm into the corresponding space in the machine body. Make sure that the wings at the top edge of the ice cream container fit into the matching slots in the machine.

4. Place the lid on the ice cream

container and turn it counter- clockwise until it locks into place.

5. Select the yoghurt programme.

6. The machine is pre-programmed for

8 hours. Adjust the time as you wish in 30-minute increments - from 4 to 24 hours - using the arrow keys. Hold down the arrow keys to change the time to one-hour increments. You can adjust the duration of the programme at any time using the arrow keys.

7. Now press the "Start/Stop" button

to start the programme. The status "Heating" appears in the display. You can cancel the programme at any time by pressing the yoghurt cup icon. Note: The yoghurt programme runs almost silently; the mass must not be moved or stirred during preparation.30

8. During the programme, the remaining

time and current preparation temperature are alternately shown on the display. When making yoghurt, the temperature is usually between 38 and 42 °C, depending on environmental factors.

9. The yoghurt is ready when the mass

has thickened. Note that yoghurt becomes firmer after it cools. When the set time has expired, the machine will make the acoustic signal you previously selected. If the machine is on mute, there will be no beep. The display flashes and shows "Ready!". Now you can flavour the mass according to your wishes. The yoghurt should be refrigerated in a clean container as soon as possible to prevent it from going sour. The yoghurt will continue to mature in the fridge for the next few days, but very slowly.

10. If the yoghurt is not removed within

10 minutes, the automatic post-cooling function will start. Ice cream and yogurt removal

1. Ice cream and yogurt are ready when the

display shows "00:00". Before removing the product, switch the appliance off using the ON/OFF button and unplug it from the socket.

2. Remove the transparent lid.

3. Take the container out of the appliance

and carefully pull the mixer out of the ice cream. If the ice cream container is frozen slightly and cannot easily be lifted out of the recess in the housing, wait for a few minutes and try removing it again.

4. Fill ice cream and yogurt into suitable

containers. Refrain from using sharp or pointed objects, but rather use a plastic or wooden spoon, to avoid damaging the ice container. We recommend silicone dough scrapers.

5. If you are finished making ice cream,

switch off the appliance with the power button and disconnect the plug. Motor protection function If the ice cream mass becomes harder, the motor can get jammed. The motor protection function makes sure that the mixing motor automatically stops at a hard ice cream consistency to avoid motor damage.31 Cleaning and care Before cleaning, always switch off the appliance, remove the plug from the socket and allow the appliance to cool down.

• Never clean the device with or under running water or any other liquid. Especially the motor and the compressor may not come into contact with water.

• Do not use any scratching or abrasive detergents.

• The stainless steel ice cream container is dishwasher safe. All other removable parts may be put in the dishwasher.

• Clean all plastic parts on the top shelf of a dishwasher and use a programme with at most 60 °C to keep them from losing their shape. Make sure that the plastic part is not jammed.

• Wipe down the compressor housing with a moist cloth.

• Dry off all parts with a soft cloth before assembling them. Before using the ice cream machine again, all parts should be thoroughly cleaned and dried off.

• The ice cream scoop should be washed by hand. Trouble shooting If the device does not work properly, please check the following steps:

1. Check if the manual was followed precisely and correctly.

2. Check the following table for possible reasons.

3. Check if all fuses are working.32

Error codes Error code problem solution E 4 The motor has overheated. Unplug the appliance and let it cool down for 1 hour. E 5 The temperature sensor has a fault. Disconnect the mains plug and plug it back in. Should the problem continue, please contact customer service. Issues with the appliance problem solution The ice cream doesn't freeze. Make sure the compressor is working. Contact customer service for repair. The stirring rod freezes. The motor protection function has been activated. Remove the container, transfer your ice cream to another container, and let the machine stand for at least 30 minutes. Reduce the stirring duration next time. The ice cream has frozen into a hard edge on the outside but remains soft on the inside. The 2nd batch of ice cream freezes unevenly and the motor protection function activates itself, the agitator no longer rotates. Let your machine rest for at least 30 minutes before filling it with the next batch of ice cream. The ice cream is too hard when it comes out of the freezer. Home-made ice cream without additives and thickeners will naturally become very hard in the freezer. If your ice cream has been in the freezer for a while, you should allow it to thaw in the fridge or at room temperature for approx. 10-30 minutes.33 I paused and restarted the ice cream programme. The compressor suddenly stopped working. To protect the compressor from being switched on and off too frequently, the compressor will take a few minutes to turn back on if there is an interruption. The ice cream is too runny. You should generally freeze fruit ice cream or sorbet a little bit longer. To do so, fill the ice cream into a suitable and airtight container and allow it to freeze in the freezer for at least an additional 30 minutes. Make sure that your ice cream mass is no warmer than room temperature when filling and never fill the machine with hot ice cream mass. Optimal results are obtained at a temperature of approx. 6–8 °C. The yogurt is too runny. Extend the mixing time. Please note: The longer yoghurt stirs, the more sour and bitter it can become. You shouldn't leave yoghurt in the machine for more than 14 hours. The milk became too hot during preparation and the bacteria died. Start again. The yogurt is too sour. The fat content of the milk was too low. Yoghurt from whole milk tastes less sour than yoghurt from semi-skimmed milk. The yoghurt was stirred or stored too long. Yoghurt continues to ferment, even when it's stored in the fridge. Consume your yoghurt when its still fresh if possible The yogurt is too grainy. If you made yoghurt using powder, the powder was not stirred evenly enough into the milk. Try to stir through your yoghurt with a hand mixer and let it stir for another 2–3 hours. If you have any other issues with your Elisa, please contact our customer service.
