HOW TO OPERATE

• Freeze your desired fruit for 24 hours. Remove from freezer and allow to thaw slightly (approximately 15 minutes depending on the type of fruit).
• Place FROFRUTTI™ on a stable, waterproof surface near an electrical outlet before starting.
  • Always make sure that the cord is away from a water source.
• Plug in the unit.
• Place a small bowl or serving dish on top of the Drip Tray directly below the Dispenser.
• Remove the Plunger from the Chute and turn the unit ON.
• Insert frozen fruit slowly into the top of the Chute. DO NOT overfill the Chute.
• DO NOT place fruit with pits, honey or ice into FROFRUTTI™.
• Apply steady pressure on the Plunger to slowly press the contents down through the Chute. DO NOT apply too much force to the Plunger. Slowly and gently push the ingredients through.
• The creamy frozen fruit mixture will dispense into your bowl. If using more than one type of fruit per serving, add the different fruits alternately to allow them to mix properly. You may also choose to stir the frozen fruit before serving to ensure it is evenly mixed.
• Repeat the process until you have created the amount of frozen fruit desired.
• If using spices, sugar or sugar substitute, you may add with the fruit.
• DO NOT operate the unit continuously for more than 15 minutes. Allow the motor to rest for 5 minutes before using again. After three cycles, allow the unit to cool completely before using again.
• If the soft-serve fruit mixture stops dispensing, the Chute may be clogged. Turn unit off IMMEDIATELY and unplug from electrical outlet. Remove the Dispenser by turning clockwise and take out the Grinder. Wipe clean and reassemble FROFRUTTI™.
• NEVER try to force fruit through the Chute if it is not dispensing.
• If a variety of fruits are used in one batch, stir the mixture to combine thoroughly. You may also mix honey into the prepared frozen fruit after it has dispensed into the bowl.
• Unplug unit from outlet when finished. Follow the directions in the Cleaning & Maintenance section to clean FROFRUTTI™.

HELPFUL TIPS

NEVER leave the unit unattended while operating.

BURNING ODOR

During first use, you may notice a slight burning odor; this is normal with most new appliances. The odor is caused by the residues burning off the motor. If the smell persists or smoke appears, turn the unit off immediately and discontinue use.

DISPENSER

Make sure the clear gasket is properly affixed inside the Dispenser.

This will prevent fruit from leaking out of the Dispenser.

CLOGGING

Certain fibrous types of fruits, such as pineapple, may clog the Chute and Dispenser. If fruit stops flowing, turn the unit off IMMEDIATELY and unplug from electrical outlet. Remove the Dispenser by turning clockwise and take out the Grinder. Rinse or wipe clean and reassemble FROFRUTTI™.

INGREDIENTS

Fruit should be frozen for a minimum of 24 hours before placing in FROFRUTTI™. Allow fruit to thaw for approximately 15 minutes (time may vary depending on the type of fruit).

The following frozen fruits work best:

• Berries: strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, cranberries
• Bananas: should be over-ripe and peeled before freezing; DO NOT freeze un-peeled bananas
• Melon: honeydew, cantaloupe, watermelon
• Pineapple: peeled, cored and cut into long, thin slices
• Peaches
• Pears
• Apples
• Mango

If using a variety of fruits or berries per batch, add the different fruits alternately to allow them to mix properly and ensure proper consistency.

DO NOT place fruit with pits, honey or ice in the FROFRUTTI™ FROZEN DESSERT MAKER.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

1. Make sure the unit is unplugged before cleaning.
2. Before first use and continuing after each use, wipe off unit with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
3. Remove the Plunger and Chute Cover.
4. Turn the Chute clockwise to remove from the Base.
5. Turn the Dispenser clockwise to unscrew from the Chute. Remove the Grinder.
6. Wash Drip Tray, Chute, Grinder, Chute Cover, Plunger and Dispenser in warm, soapy water with a non-abrasive moist sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a non-abrasive towel.
7. Wipe the Base with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry thoroughly. DO NOT immerse the Base or cord in water or any other liquid.
8. To prolong the life of your FROFRUTTI™ FROZEN FRUIT DESSERT MAKER, hand-washing parts is advised. Dishwasher use is not recommended. NEVER place the Base in a dishwasher.
9. Reassemble the unit and insert the cord into the storage area in the Base.

NOTE: Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
