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.

ENGLISH

• 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 overll 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 dierent 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
o 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 nished. Follow the directions in the
Cleaning & Maintenance section to clean FROFRUTTI™.

HELPFUL TIPS

NEVER leave the unit unattended while operating.

BURNING ODOR

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

DISPENSER

Make sure the clear gasket is properly axed inside the Dispenser.
This will prevent fruit from leaking out of the Dispenser.

CLOGGING

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