when the appliance is not in use and
before cleaning.

• Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked
and tested by a qualified technician or
service person.

• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked
on the appliance.

Features of your Gelateria

Transparent lid with pouring hole

Enables easy pouring of ingredients during
the mixing process and its transparency
allows observation of the ice-cream making
process.

Removable cylinder

This 1 Litre metal cylinder with carry handle
is easily removed from the appliance for the
serving of frozen desserts and a quick clean
up.

Paddle

The specially designed paddle guarantees
perfect aeration throughout the ice-cream
mixture, ensuring a deliciously creamy result
every time.

Paddle motor On/Off

Will start the churning of mixture inside the
cylinder, when used in conjunction with the
LED timer.

Chiller On/Off

The appliance is pre-chilled for 5 minutes
to ensure freezing temperatures as low as

-30°C are reached during the churning
process. This is possible due to an internal
compressor which creates the perfect freezing
environment to make frozen desserts at a
moments notice, eliminating the need to pre­freeze canisters overnight. The indicator light
shows that the chilling system is operating.

Release button

Pressing the Release button enables the

Features of your Gelateria (continued)

LED timer display

Set time - The preselected time for churning
a mixture is displayed on the left side of the
panel in red and remains constant throughout
the churning process. This set time can be
increased with increments of 5 minutes until
a maximum of 60 minutes is reached. In the
event that additional time is required above
60 minutes, the appliance will reset to 5
minutes. Set time will flash to indicate that
the timer has not yet started.

Remaining time - the remaining time for
churning a mixture is displayed on the right
side of the panel in green and will decline
by 1 minute. When
the timer will flash and beep for 5 counts,
indicating that the churning will finish in 2
minutes. When the timer has reached the
set churning time, the remaining time will
display
counts.

and the timer will beep for 18

minutes is reached,

Start/Stop - Pressing the Start button will
commence the timer and rotation of the
paddle. Alternatively, whilst the appliance is
operating, pressing the Stop button will stop
the timer as well as the paddle. Additionally,
pressing the Stop button will cancel the
beeping notice of the timer, if desired.

Timer Select - Allows you to select the time
necessary to make a particular frozen dessert,
with 5 minute increments up to 60 minutes.
When this time is reached, the paddle motor
will switch off automatically and beep for 18
counts.

HeadingBefore using your Gelateria

Important: Place the Gelateria upright on
a flat surface for at least 12 hours before
using it for the first time, to allow the oil
contained in the compressor to settle. The
same procedure should be followed in the
event that the ice-cream maker has been
accidentally placed in a non-upright position.

1. Before use, thoroughly wash all parts
that will come into contact with the ice­cream. The fixed stainless steel cylinder
should be cleaned using a damp cloth and
dried thoroughly. The removable cylinder,
transparent lid with pouring hole and
paddle should be washed in warm soapy
water, rinsed and dried thoroughly.

2. When your Ice-Cream Maker is first used,
you may experience an odour and possibly
a slight wisp of smoke from the appliance.
This is released by the insulation material
of the motor when the appliance is heated,
which protects the motor and is a normal
occurrence. After the first few uses, this
will no longer occur.

HeadingUsing your Gelateria

1. Position the Ice-Cream Maker on a dry,
level surface, ensuring that the ventilation
slots on either side of the appliance are not
obstructed.

2. Ensure your Ice-Cream Maker is unplugged
from the power outlet before fitting the
connecting parts.

3. Pour a solution of salt and water into
the fixed stainless steel cylinder, using 1
tablespoon (20ml) water and a teaspoon
(5g) salt.

NOTE: The salt solution is recommended in
order to facilitate the transfer of freezing
temperatures from the fixed cylinder to
the removable cylinder and guarantee the
success of the frozen dessert.

4. Insert the removable cylinder inside the
fixed stainless steel cylinder. Be sure
to position the handle of the removable
cylinder in between the locking tab to
prevent the cylinder from moving during
the churning process. See figure 1.

Tab

5. Attach the transparent lid with pouring
hole to the base of the paddle motor, using
the round cutout in the centre of both
parts to align correctly. Connect these two
parts together by rotating the plastic screw
in an anti-clockwise direction until firm.
See figure 2.

6. Insert the paddle into the opening at the
base of the paddle motor. See figure 3.

7. Position the paddle motor with paddle over
the cylinder and rotate clockwise until the
connection plug of the paddle motor locks
into the adjacent socket. See figure 4.

8. Plug the power cord into a 230-240 volt
power outlet and turn the power on.

9. Turn the chill switch on. The indicator light
shows that the chilling system is operating.
Wait 5 minutes to allow the appliance to
chill.

NOTE: The LED timer can be used to time 5
minutes. Ensure the paddle motor button is
not depressed.

IMPORTANT: Do not turn off the chill switch
until after the ice-cream is ready. If the
switch is turned off, the chilling process
automatically ceases, jeopardising the
success of the ice-cream. When the chill
switch is turned on again, there will be a 5
minute delay before the chilling process will
recommence.

10. Select the necessary time required to

make the frozen dessert by pressing the
‘Timer Select’ button featured on the
lower right hand corner, of the LED timer
display. The ice-cream making process
generally takes between 25-55 minutes.
The left side of the LED panel will
display the preselected ‘Set Time’ and
will flash continuously until the timer
is turned on. The timer can be set for a
maximum of 60 minutes using 5 minute
increments.

NOTE: When the power is turned on, both
the Set Time and Remaining Time display 5
minutes.

11. Turn the paddle motor on.

12. Press Start on the LED control panel.

13. Pour the prepared frozen dessert mixture
through the pouring hole, into the
cylinder.

NOTE: Do not place hot liquids into the
cylinder. All ingredients should be at
refrigerator temperatures.

14. To add ingredients such as chocolate
chips and raisins, after the mixing
process has begun, gently add them
through the pouring hole on the
transparent lid.

NOTE: Alcohol inhibits the freezing process.

If adding alcohol to a recipe, add when the
mixture is almost frozen. The LED timer is
programmed to beep 5 times, 2 minutes
before the unit is switched off. This is the
ideal time to add alcohol to frozen dessert
mixtures.

15. When the preselected time has
been reached, the timer will beep
consecutively for 18 counts and
the paddle motor will switch off
automatically. This beeping notice can be
cancelled by pressing the ‘Stop’ button
located on the lower left hand corner of
the LED control panel.

NOTE 1: If at any time during the churning
process, the set time is insufficient to achieve
the right consistency for a frozen dessert, the
timer can be increased accordingly. There is
no need to stop the timer.

NOTE 2: If the ice-cream has reached a good
consistency, the paddle rotation reverses
direction, indicating that the ice-cream is
ready. Should this occur prior to reaching the
set time on the LED timer display, the paddle
motor should be turned off and the timer
stopped.
