IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed
including the following:

1. Read this instruction booklet carefully before installing and using the machine.

2. Check voltage to be sure that the voltage indicated on the name plate agrees with your voltage.

3. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse electric motor assembly of appli­ance in water or any other liquid.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. THE APPLI­ANCE MUST BE INSTALLED OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

6. The supply cable must not be replaced by the user, as this requires the use of special tools.
If the supply cable is damaged, contact an authorized Service Center.

7. Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands and utensils out of cylinder bowl while in use
to reduce the risk of injury to persons or to the appliance itself. DO NOT USE SHARP
OBJECTS OR UTENSILS INSIDE THE CYLINDER BOWL! Sharp objects will scratch and dam­age the inside of the cylinder bowl. A rubber spatula or wooden spoon may be used, when
the appliance is in the “off” position.

8. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance mal­functions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest autho­rized service center for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

9. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause
fire, electric shock or injury.

10.Do not use outdoors.

11.Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.

12.The appliance must NEVER be laid on its side or turned upside down.

13. Use the appliance away from heat sources. Keep it at a distance of at least 20 cm from walls
or other objects which could obstruct free air circulation.

14.All maintenance other than normal cleaning must be performed by a service centre autho­rised by the manufacturer.

15.The appliance must be connected to an efficiently earthed socket with a minimum rating of
5A. The manufacturer declines all liability for damage caused by the lack of an efficient
earth. If in doubt, contact a qualified electrician.

16.Materials and articles destined for use in contact with food products conform to the EC
Directives 89/109.
This appliance conforms to the provisions of the Low Voltage Directive no. 72/23 with sub­sequent amendment 93/68 and the Directive on Electromagnetic Compatibility no. 89/336.

OPERATION

1. Plug the appliance into the mains socket.

2. Turn on the chilling switch at least five minutes before pouring in the ingredients.

3. Position the cover complete with dasher motor assembly and hook to the base.

4. Turn on the ON/OFF switch.

5. Pour in the ingredients.

The ice cream will be ready in between 30 and 50 minutes.
The time required to obtain the ice cream depends on the nature, temperature and quantity of
ingredients used and room temperature.

USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

IMPORTANT: leave the appliance horizontal on a flat surface for at least 12 hours before using

it for the first time.

• The same procedure should be adopted every time the appliance is placed in a non-hori­zontal position for whatever reason.

• Before use, thoroughly wash all parts coming into contact with the ice cream (such as the
fixed cylinder, removable cylinder, dasher and transparent cover).

PREPARING THE MIXTURE

• Choose a recipe and prepare the suitably blended ingredients. Take care to:

• Clean fruit and other ingredients of waste before using.

•Use ingredients at refrigerator temperature to reduce ice cream preparation times.

• Do not exceed the total quantity of 800 g of mixture in order to allow for the correct increase
in volume.

PREPARING THE ICE CREAM

1. Position the appliance near a socket on a flat stable surface.

2. Place the appliance so as to allow adequate space all round to avoid obstructing the venti­lation grills at the sides.

3. Check that the voltage indicated on the rating plate corresponds to the mains voltage. Plug
the appliance into the mains socket.

4. Turn on the chilling switch (

O) on the body of the appliance. The indicator light (N) comes
on to indicate that the chilling system is operating. Wait five minutes before pouring in the
ingredients.

5. In the meantime, hook the motor assembly to the cover and insert the dasher (fig. 1). Close
the appliance by resting the assembled section (motor assembly, cover and dasher) on the

body and rotating clockwise until it hooks into place (fig. 2).

6. Insert the dasher motor assembly plug into the socket (

I) on the appliance body.

7. After five minutes, turn on the mixing motor by pressing the ON/OFF switch (B), then pour
in the ingredients through the opening in the cover.

8. Do not more than half fill the cylinder. During preparation, the mixture increases in volume.

9. Ingredients should preferably be at refrigerator temperature. NEVER use hot ingredients.

10.During preparation, you can add chocolate chips, raisins and other ingredients through the
opening in the cover. Alcoholic beverages should not be added until the end of preparation
as they considerably slow down chilling. During the last minutes of preparation, the ice
cream expands in volume until it fills the cylinder.

11.Preparation time may vary from between 30 to 50 minutes depending on the recipe chosen
and the quantity and temperature of the ingredients used.

IMPORTANT: avoid turning off the chilling switch (O) before the ice cream is ready. If the
switch is turned off or in the event of power failure, the special device fitted to the compres­sor will prevent the chilling process from continuing for about five minutes, jeopardising the
success of the ice cream.

12. If you require slightly denser ice cream, leave the chilling switch (O) on for a further 5-10
minutes

IMPORTANT: remember to turn the chilling switch off, otherwise the ice cream will turn into
a block of ice.

13.Turn off the ON/OFF switch (

B), unplug the appliance, remove the motor and transparent
cover by rotating anticlockwise. To facilitate extraction of the ice cream, also remove the
dasher (

D).

14.Remove the ice cream from the cylinder using the special scoop (

H) provided. Alternatively,

use a plastic or wooden spoon to avoid damaging the walls and bottom of the cylinder.

15.A few minutes after removing the ice cream, when the cylinder is no longer too cold, remove
ice cream residues with a damp cloth or kitchen paper and dry thoroughly.

USING THE REMOVABLE CYLINDER

Pour a measure (25 ml) of alcohol or any spirits (grappa, brandy) into the fixed cylin­der. Alternatively, you can use a solution of water and salt (5 g of salt diluted in 20 ml
of water). Place the removable cylinder (F) inside the fixed cylinder, inserting it com­plete.
It is extremely important to perform this operation precisely in order for the cold to be
transmitted correctly from the fixed cylinder to the removable cylinder and thus guar­antee the success of the ice cream.
Hook the motor assembly to the cover and insert the dasher (fig. 1).
Close the appliance by resting the assembled section (motor assembly, cover and dash­er) on the body of the appliance, making sure the housing on the transparent cover
coincides with the hook on the handle of the removable cylinder (fig. 3), then rotating
clockwise until it hooks into place.
