Note: TOP and BOTTOM modes are not available with DRINKABLE programmes.

Programmes

Each programme is designed to prepare recipes simply. The duration and speed of each programme are automatically adjusted to obtain consistent and creamy results with each preparation.

ENGLISHENGLISH

Category Programme Description
Scoopable ICE CREAM Ideal for traditional recipes. Turns dairy and plant-based alternatives into dense and silky ice cream.
GELATO Designed for preparing custard-based mixtures forclassic Italian ice cream, with velvety texture.
ITALIAN ICE Turns water mixtures with fruit flavours into Italianice.
SORBET Turns sweet and watery fruit mixtures into sorbetswith creamy texture.
FROZEN YOGURT At the touch of a button, it turns regular yogurtinto creamy frozen yogurt. Tip: for best results, usesweetened full-fat varleties. Avoid fat-free or 'sugar-free" options.
LIGHT ICE CREAM Designed to obtain ice cream with low sugar, reducedfat, or with sugar substitutes.
Drinkable SLUSHIE Prepares smooth and consistent slush from water anddrink mixes. A reinterpretation of the classic children'sfavourite.
MILKSHAKE	Prepares thick and creamy milkshakes in minutesusing your preferred ice cream (homemade orcommercial), milk, and your favourite add-ins.
FRAPPÉ	The perfect blend of intense coffee and smoothcappuccino.
FROZEN DRINK	Obtain ultra-refined quality frozen drinks, with greaterthickness, velvety texture, and prolonged resistanceto melting.

Important: When processing DRINKABLE preparations such as SLUSHIE, FROZEN DRINK, or MILKSHAKE, add liquid over the top of the frozen base in the small container (F) before starting the programme.

MIX-IN

The MIX-IN programme is designed to integrate solid add-ins (pieces of sweets, biscuits, nuts, cereals, or frozen fruit) into a freshly processed base or commercial dessert. Note: for best results, place the mix-ins in the centre of the small container (F). After the main programme, scoop out a well approximately 4 cm in diameter down to the bottom of

the small container (F). Place the chopped ingredients in this well and execute the MIX-IN programme. If necessary, repeat MIX-IN to fully integrate the add-ins.

RE-SPIN

The RE-SPIN programme improves texture after running one of the preset programmes. It is especially useful when the base is very cold (below -7^ / -21^ ) and becomes brittle rather than creamy.

Note: do not use the RE-SPIN programme before running the MIX-IN programme.

Freezing tips

For optimal results, maintain the temperature between -12^ and -22^ . The appliance is designed to process frozen bases effectively within this range. When stored within these parameters, the small container (F) will achieve the ideal consistency for processing.

Do not freeze the small container (F) at an angle. Place it on a perfectly level surface within the freezer.
- Upright freezers are preferable. Avoid chest freezers, as they tend to over-freeze.
- Freeze the base for a full 24 hours. Although the mixture may appear solid earlier, it
needs additional freezing time to reach the optimal processing temperature.
- Optimise time by preparing several small containers (F) in advance and storing them in the freezer for processing when desired.

Operating instructions

Important: review all safety warnings before proceeding.

1. Add the ingredients to the small container (F). DO NOT exceed the MAX FILL line marked on the small container (F). Fig. 2 - 3

ENGLISHENGLISH

1. For recipes requiring frozen ingredients, close the small container (F) with the small container lid (E) and place it in the freezer for at least 24 hours. Fig. 4
2. Connect the main body (A) to the mains socket and position the appliance on a flat, dry, and clean surface.
3. When the base is ready or frozen, remove the small container lid (E) and place the small container (F) inside the outer container (G). Fig. 5.

Note:

• Do not process mixtures if the contents of the small container (F) were frozen at an angle or were partially removed and re-frozen unevenly.
• Before re-freezing, always smooth the surface of the processed dessert inside the small container (F).
• To partially soften, transfer the small container (F) to the refrigerator and mix vigorously until smooth.
• Re-freeze the small container (F) on a completely level surface in the freezer to ensure uniform consistency.
• Important: Important: Ensure that the outer container lid sealing ring (C) is correctly positioned on the outer container lid (B) before installing the paddle (D).

Installing the paddle (D) with the installation tool (H)

Fig. 6.

(1) Hold the base of the paddle installation tool (H) with one hand and, from the top of the outer container lid (B), insert it through the central hole in the lid.
(2) Turn the lid (B) upside down. Align the installation hole located at the base of the paddle (D) with the tool (H) and fit the paddle (D) into the tool.
(3) Slowly remove the installation tool (H) from the lid (B).

Notes:

• Handle the paddle (D) carefully.
• The paddle (D) must be installed correctly; otherwise, the appliance will not operate normally.
• If the outer container lid sealing ring (C) is not properly positioned, liquid may leak from the outer container (G) during drink preparation.
• Positioning and locking the outer container lid (B). Position the lid tab (B) slightly to the right of the outer container handle (G). Align the lid reference line (B) with the arrow located on the outer container handle (G). Turn the lid (B) clockwise to lock. Fig. 7
• Positioning the outer container (G) on the main body (A). With the appliance connected to the mains, position the outer container (G) on the main body (A) with the handle centred beneath the panel display. Turn the handle to the right to lock the outer container (G) in place; you will hear a confirmation 'click'. Fig. 8

B. Switching on, mode and programme selection. If the outer container (C) is correctly installed, the display will illuminate and the appliance will be ready for use. Select the programme that corresponds to your base. Press a processing mode: TOP, FULL, or BOTTOM and press the START touch icon to begin. The programme will stop automatically when finished.

Notes:

• If the outer bowl light is red and flashing, the appliance is not completely assembled for use. Ensure that the container is correctly installed. Make sure to plug in the appliance before installing the container.
• Removing the outer container (G) when the programme finishes. Press the outer container release button located on the left side of the main body (A). Turn the outer container handle (G) back to the central position. While turning, the platform will lower the outer container (G). When the outer container (G) is released and the platform is down, lift it to remove it from the main body (A). Fig. 9
• Removing the lid. Press the lid release button and turn the outer container lid (B) anticlockwise to remove it.
• If adding mix-ins, use a spoon to create a 4 cm diameter well that reaches to the bottom of the already processed portion of the small container (F). Place the chopped mix-ins in this well and repeat steps 7–11 to process again using the MIXIN programme and the desired processing mode (TOP/FULL/BOTTOM).

MIXIN tips

• Add 1/4 cup (approximately 60 ml) total of crushed sweets, frozen fruit, chopped nuts, chocolate pieces, etc. If using several mix-ins, keep the combined volume to 1/4 cup or less. Adjust to taste and ensure that the outer container lid (B) can close comfortably over the small container (F).
• Hard mix-ins such as chocolate, sweets, or nuts do not break during the MIXIN programme and will remain whole. For this reason, it is recommended to use chocolate chips, mini sweets, or pre-cut ingredients.
• Soft mix-ins will break. Ingredients such as cereals, biscuits, or frozen fruit will be left in smaller pieces after the MIXIN programme. For best results, start with larger pieces when the ingredient is soft.
• For best results with ICE CREAM and GELATO, fresh fruit, sauces, or spreads are not recommended as mix-ins. Adding fresh fruit, fudge, or caramel sauces dilutes the dessert.
• Chocolate hazelnut spreads and nut butters also do not integrate well.
• Frozen fruit or quick-hardening chocolate/caramel toppings are recommended.

ENGLISHENGLISH

1. Improving texture with the RESPIN programme. If the preparation in the small container (F) becomes brittle or grainy, use the RESPIN programme. This programme is especially useful with very cold bases. If, after RESPIN, the texture is smooth, proceed to step 14. If it continues to be brittle or grainy, repeat steps 7–11 and execute RESPIN again to reprocess.
   Note: Do not execute RESPIN before using the MIXIN programme.
2. Remove and serve. Lift the small container (F) out of the outer container (G) and serve the dessert.
3. Cleaning the lid and removing the paddle. With the assembly away from the main body (A), rinse the outer container lid (B) thoroughly under the tap to remove sticky residue or particles trapped around the paddle (D). Hold the base of the paddle installation tool (H) with one hand. With the other, insert the tool (H) through the upper hole of the lid (B) and press to release the paddle (D). For easier cleaning, drop the paddle (D) directly into the sink. Wash the lid (B), paddle (D), and outer container lid sealing ring (C) separately. Dry completely before next use. Fig. 10
4. Unplug the main body (A) when you have finished using it.
5. Leftovers: smoothing, re-freezing, and reprocessing. If leftovers remain in the small container (F), smooth the surface with a spoon or spatula before returning it to the freezer, keeping it perfectly level. If, after re-freezing, the preparation is too hard, run it with the same programme you used to prepare it. If it is still soft, you can serve it directly with a spoon.

Note:

When reprocessing a dessert containing mix-ins, these may be crushed further and alter their texture and flavour.
