Frequently Asked Questions - Mojito Ice RGV

How do I prepare the bowl before first use?

Wash the bowl and paddle in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Then freeze the empty bowl for at least 24 hours before making ice cream.

Can I use the ice cream maker without pre-freezing the bowl?

No, the bowl must be frozen solid (at least 24 hours) to achieve proper freezing. Using it without freezing will result in a runny mixture.

What is the maximum capacity for a single batch?

The bowl can hold up to 1.5 quarts (1.4 liters) of mixture. Do not overfill to allow room for expansion.

How long does it take to make ice cream?

Typically 20-30 minutes, depending on the recipe and desired firmness. For a softer consistency, 20 minutes is sufficient.

Can I add mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts?

Yes, add them during the last 5 minutes of churning to evenly distribute without damaging the paddle.

How do I clean the machine?

Unplug and remove the bowl and paddle. Wash them in warm soapy water (top rack dishwasher safe). Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water.

Why is the motor slow or not starting?

Check that the bowl is properly locked in place and the lid is secured. If the mixture is too thick, the motor may struggle; reduce the batch size or add liquid.

Can I make sorbet with this machine?

Yes, the RGV Mojito Ice is designed for both ice cream and sorbet. Use a fruit puree base and follow the same process.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement bowls, paddles, and other parts are available through RGV's official website or authorized retailers. Use only genuine parts.

What is the warranty coverage?

The RGV Mojito Ice comes with a 1-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Proof of purchase is required for service.

Children should not use the device as a toy and should neither clean nor use the device themselves unless they are aged 8 years and above and assisted by an adult.

Keep children under 8 years away from the device and the power cord.

• Before cleaning the appliance or carrying out any other operation on it, always disconnect the device from the power outlet.
• Pay close attention that the appliance and its power cord are not too close to the edge of the table or the work surface and that they do not come into contact with heat sources or are not too close to a sink.

Make sure that the power cord is not laying on the floor in order to prevent someone from inadvertently overturning and pulling the unit.

During operation, the power outlet should be easily accessible in the event that it is necessary to disconnect the equipment.

• Do not, for any reason, tamper the appliance.
  In the event of malfunction contact your reseller.
• To avoid useless and hazardous overheating of the appliance, DO NOT leave the device uselessly connected to the electrical power source. Disconnect the electrical power cord from the wall outlet when the appliance is not being used.

For domestic use only

The appliance MUST only be verified and/or repaired at an authorized retailer.

Any repair intervention performed by unauthorized personnel on the appliance automatically voids warranty.

This appliance shall only be intended for the use for which it has been expressly conceived, namely to produce ice cubes.

Any other use is considered improper and therefore hazardous. The manufacturer cannot be considered responsible for any eventual damages derived from improper, faulty or unreasonable use.

• While handling the appliance, pay attention to keeping it in vertical position, neither incline it beyond 45^ nor turn it upside down. The appliance could be damaged.
• Place the appliance in well ventilated areas, away from heat sources (burner, oven, radiator, etc.) and from areas filled with contaminated air. Make sure that there are at least 150mm of free space around the appliance in order to ensure a correct air circulation around the appliance itself.
• The appliance components and internal parts (water tank, ice basket, squeegee, etc.) must be cleaned before or after use.
• Regularly clean the appliance. During cleaning, disconnect power supply and remove the ice cubes.

Use a soft cloth or a non-abrasive sponge moistened with a delicate dishwasher detergent diluted in water to clean the appliance internal and external surfaces.

Wash with a wet cloth.

Do not spray water or other liquids on the appliance.

It is advised to use a diluted solution of water and vinegar to clean the appliance internal parts.

Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents (such as acids or petrol) to clean the appliance.

• Do not move the probe or the cables inside the appliance during cleaning.
• Regularly change water in order to guarantee the ice cube quality. The water contained in the water tank must be replaced at least every 24 hours.
• ONLY use drinking water to create the ice cube.
• Water quantity in the tank MUST NOT be higher than the maximum level marked inside the appliance.
• In order to protect the compressor, it is NOT possible to quickly turn on and off the appliance.

Wait at least 3 minutes between switching off and the next switching on.

- If you do not intend to use the appliance for some days (even only for 3 or 4 days), empty and accurately dry the tank.

Do not leave water in the tank for too long.

• The appliance uses inflammable insulating foam. In case of disposal of the appliance, it is needed to refer to an authorized disposal centre and follow the specific regulatory requirements in force in the country of use.
• Do not obstruct the appliance ventilation apertures.

Clean them with a soft bristled brush if necessary.

• Do not insert any object in the ventilation apertures.
• If the appliance is not used for a long period of time, the water pump might not be able to pump water in sufficient quantity because of an air bubble.

If that happens, the low water indicator turns on.

Press the ON/OFF key again to solve the inconvenience.

- If the compressor stops for any reason (example: lack of water, too much ice, etc.), do not promptly restart it but instead wait at least 3 minutes before pressing the ON/OFF switch.

- This appliance is without HFC (the refrigerating circuit contains R 600 a-isobutane). For more details, please refer to the appliance serial number label.

Isobutane is a natural gas without effects on the environment, but it is inflammable. For this reason, it is essential to make sure that the refrigerating circuiùt hoses are not damaged.

• Do not allow naked flames or ignition sources to enter the appliance.
• If refrigerant escapes: remove any naked flames or sources of ignition from the leakage area. Ventilate the room well. Notify the after-sales service.

Disposal of the appliance

The symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin indicated on the product and on the accompanying documentation indicates that the product itself is subject to Directive 2012/19/EU that regulates the collection, the management, the treatment and the disposal of waste from electric and electronic equipment (WEEE).

Therefore, when the product reaches the end of its useful life, it must not be disposed of as a normal mixed municipal waste, but instead it must be subject to waste sorting at authorized collection centres.

The responsible disposal of waste from electric and electronic equipment contributes to ease the sustainable reuse and recycling of material resources, as well as to avoid possible damages to the environment and to human health caused by uncontrolled disposal of waste.

Local administrations create specific centres for WEEE waste sorting. For more detailed information regarding WEEE take-back and collection systems, it is possible to refer to your local administration or to the local household waste disposal service.

Moreover, at the time of purchase of a new equivalent equipment intended to be used in a household environment, the customer has the right to freely lend, at the rate of one on one, the used equipment to the distributor which will provide for its disposal as required by law.

Professional purchasers are exhorted to contact their own supplier to check the terms and conditions of the purchase contract.
