T. Pre-Cooling
Less air is whipped into gelatos
to create the smooth and creamy
consistency when compared with the
light and fluffy texture of an ice cream.
Commercial machines employ large
cooling systems to set the gelato more
quickly which reduces the churning
required. Pre cool works by reducing
the temperature of the cooling chamber
to its optimal operating temperature
before the base mix is introduced.
As the appliance is already cold. It
will take less time to freeze. This
reduces the churning required
to achieve the dense & creamy
consistency of a great gelato.
U. Press Start flashes when in the PRE-
COOL mode to advise that the machine
is chilled and ready to start churning.
