This unit contains the refrigerant Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas that has high environmental compatibility, but is flammable. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer or increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this refrigerant results in a slightly higher noise level of the unit. In addition to the compressor noise, you can hear the flow of refrigerant. This is unavoidable and has no negative effect on the performance of the device. Be careful during transport to avoid damage to the refrigerant circuit. Refrigerant leaks can irritate the eyes.

Special notes

• When positioning the unit, take care that the power cord is not pinched or damaged.
• Make sure that there are no multiple sockets or power supply units on the back of the device.

To avoid contamination of food, please follow the instructions below:

- Regularly clean surfaces that may come into contact with food.

WARNING

When using, during maintenance and when disposing of the appliance, pay attention to the left symbol located on the back or on the compressor of the appliance. This symbol warns you of possible fires. There are flammable substances in the refrigerant lines and in the compressor. Keep the appliance away from sources of fire during use, maintenance and disposal.

After ice cream production

When production is finished, the machine automatically starts the keep-cool function. [COOL] flashes on the display and the hardness level is measured. To do this, the machine first stands still for 5 minutes, then the motor stirs for 15 seconds and then performs the hardness test.

• If the hardness is insufficient after test 1, the ice cream production continues.
• If the hardness is still insufficient at test 2, this cycle is continued for 120 minutes.
• If the hardness is sufficient, the keep-cool function is started automatically.

Keep-cool function

The keep-cool function prevents the finished ice cream from melting during your absence. If the ice cream is ready and no one is operating the machine, the chilling time is 120 minutes. After 120 minutes, the machine switches to standby mode. The display shows [COOL] and the final hardness bar.

Note on the motor protection device

If the ice cream becomes harder, the stirrer motor may be blocked. Then the motor protection device ensures that the stirrer motor stops operating to ensure the service life of the motor.

Note on the filling quantity of the ingredients

To avoid overflowing, make sure that the ingredients do not exceed 60% of the capacity of the removable bowl, as the ice cream expands during production.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Potential cause	Solution
The bowl cannot be removed after ice cream production.	Frozen water drops between the bowl and the refrigerator compartment.	Wait 1-2 minutes before removing the bowl.
The production time of the ice cream machine (time mode) has not expired but the ice cream production has still finished.	With ice cream in time mode, the device is controlled simultaneously by time and hardness. If the ice cream is hard before the time has elapsed, ice cream production stops.	This process is normal and requires no action.
Ice cream production is not yet complete, yet the motor stops.	The harder the ice cream gets, the more likely it is that the engine will overheat.	Switch off the unit, wait 3 minutes and then restart the unit.
The unit has gone into standby mode or is not working as expected.	The START/PAUSE button may have been pressed twice by mistake.	Press the START / PAUSE button only once to start a programme. If you press the button twice, the unit pauses and automatically switches to standby mode after a certain time.
