Settings while the device is operating
•
The ice cream making process can be interrupted by pressing the START/STOP button
for three seconds, or by pressing POWER. To reactivate the device, start from the
beginning and reset the time by pressing the button marked TIMER.
•
To change the operating time while the device is in use, press TIMER; time can be
only increased (not decreased) by 5-minute intervals. The time set will be shown on
the digital display.
Extending operating time
•
To continue making ice cream after the operating time has expired (e.g. because the
consistency of the ice cream is unsatisfactory), the operating time can be set again
(10/20/30/40/50/60) by pressing TIMER then START/STOP.
•
Cooling will resume after 3 minutes.
•
The ice cream making process will return to the beginning with the set operating
time.
•
When the set time is reached a signal tone sounds and the device switches off
automatically. The device enters into cooling mode and keeps the ice cream cold
for 10 minutes. The cooling process is continued at 10-minute intervals (up to 60
minutes). After 60 minutes the device switches off completely.
Tips for preparing ice cream
•
Always cool the ingredients before making ice cream.
•
Do not cool the ingredients in a freezer, as frozen ingredients can block the
stirring staff.
•
Most recipes contain cream, milk, eggs and sugar. For better results in ice cream
preparation we recommend that you beat the eggs and sugar with an electric blender
prior to preparation, in order to increase the volume of the ice cream
•
Taste and consistency of the ice cream very much depend on the chosen
ingredients: the more fat content, the firmer the ice cream. A heavy cream contains
at least 36% fat, light cream contains 10-18% fat.
•
Try to use a constant amount of liquid every time, e. g.: the lightest ice cream can be
produced by using more milk than cream or milk only.
•
You may also use low fat milk, although this affects the consistency of the ice cream.
•
Sorbet's taste very much depends on the ripeness and sweetness of the fruits and
the juice. Taste the fruits before using them as ingredients. If they are too sour, add
some sugar; if they are very ripe instead, add little sugar or none at all. Please
remember that cold reduces sweetness.
