Freezing the refrigerating container
Check that the freezer can reach –18°C and set the thermostat so that this temperature is
guaranteed. Ice cream cannot be made if this temperature is not reached.
 Place the freezing bowl in a plastic bag to protect yourself against cold "burns".
 Place the container into the coldest compartment of the freezer, and ensure that:
- It is in a vertical position, and especially not upside down
- There is sufficient space all around
- Nothing is inside it.
 Depending on the quantity of ice cream and the freezer temperature, leave the
container in the freezer for 10 or 12 hours, in other words according to the amount of ice
cream to prepare (500g or 800g) and the temperature (-18°C or even less). The operation
volume of the ice cream machine is 800ml.
 Check that the cooling liquid inside the container is frozen: it must be completely solid.
 If you always keep the container in the freezer, it can be used when needed, without
waiting for the solidification time of the refrigerating liquid.
Ice cream preparation
To prepare ice cream mixtures, follow the recipes below. All the recipes can be used, on
condition that no more than 0.8 litres of ingredients are involved. The room temperature must
be lower than 25°C during preparation: if this is not the case, an optimal result cannot be
guaranteed.
1. Before removing the container from the freezer, prepare the ice cream mixture in a
bowl. Put the mixture into the refrigerator to cool it for 20 hours at 3 to 5°C.
2. Remove the refrigerating container from the freezer (wear gloves or use a cloth to
avoid cold "burns") and place it on a stable support base. The container should be
used immediately after removal from the freezer.
3. Fit the lid, motor unit and spatula together (see paragraph "OPERATION"). Fix the lid
to the housing with handle and freezing bowl.
4. Put the plug into the current socket and press the 0/I button to "I" to make the
spatula rotate. Now, immediately but gradually pour the ice cream mixture into the
container through the hole in the lid, without dripping and wetting the motor: the
mixture must not pass over half the volume of the container. Mix for around 25-30
minutes: the time depends on the desired consistency (the longer the time, the more
frozen the product will be). Remember that homemade ice cream does not have the
same consistency as that bought in a shop; in fact, it is softer.
5. During preparation, you can add fine chocolate chips, raisins or other ingredients:
alcoholic liquids are added almost at the end (they slow down cooling).
6. At the end, turn off using the switch, remove the plug from the socket and lift the lid to
remove it from the bowl. To serve the cold dessert, remove it using a rubber spatula or
wooden spoon (do not use metal objects). Now serve immediately.
7. The ice cream can be left in the container to become hard in the freezer for a brief
period (no longer than 30 minutes). For long term freezing, we recommend using a
container with a lid (several hours in the freezer are necessary for the ice cream to
become hard). The conservation period can be 1 or 2 weeks. This time depends on
whether the ingredients used are "natural" or "semi-cooked".
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning the appliance, switch it off and remove the plug from the current socket.
It is important for the container and all the components to be well washed immediately after
use, to prevent the formation of bacteria or unpleasant smells.

When cleaning the container, spatula, lid and housing, use water with a normal detergent
for dishes, and rub with a soft sponge (do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive products).
Rinse carefully and dry completely. The temperature of the water must not exceed 40°C.
