  – in bed-and breakfast type environments.

• This appliance is not intended for commercial use, nor for use in the catering business or similar wholesale environments.

• The cooling circuit in this appliance contains the refrigerant isobutane (R600a), a natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable. Ensure, therefore, that none of the components of the refrigerant circuit become damaged during transportation and installation of the appliance. If damage to the cooling circuit does occur, do not switch on or connect the appliance to the mains power. In the case that there is an open fire or any other sources of ignition in the vicinity of the refrigerant gas, make sure it is removed immediately from this area and that the room is then thoroughly ventilated.

• If the unit is sold, handed over to a third party or disposed of at a suitable recycling facility, attention must be drawn to the presence of the refrigerant R600a. For additional information on correct recycling refer to the Disposal section.

• This appliance is not designed for the storage of explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant.

Preparing the unit

• Prepare all ingredients in a separate container according to the chosen recipe.

• The maximum fill capacity is 0.75 litres. Do not fill the bowl to more than 60% when making ice-cream, as the mix will expand during the freezing process.

• Ensure that the bowl is clean and dry.

• Place the ice-cream bowl into the housing.
  Caution: Ensure that the handle mountings fit snugly into the corresponding recesses on the main unit.

• For the ‘Stirring’ and ‘Making ice-cream’ programmes, fit the stirring insert into the ice bowl.

• Put the properly mixed ingredients into the bowl.

• Fit the lid and turn it anti-clockwise to lock it . The hinged opening in the lid must be facing forward. The opening in the lid allows for adding further ingredients during processing.

• Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet.

• Use the On/Off switch to turn the appliance on.

• Unless there is any further input, the display turns dark after approx. 15 seconds.

• Turn the rotary control until the symbol appears.
• Confirm the selection by briefly pressing the control.
• Use the control to set the desired time.
• Start the programme by briefly pressing the control again.
• The cooling process starts.
• Once the pre-set time has elapsed, beep signals are heard, the display shows 0000 and the unit switches to stand-by mode.

Stirring liquids

• Proceed as described under ‘Preparing the unit’ and fit the stirring insert.
• Turn the rotary control until the symbol appears.
• Confirm the selection by briefly pressing the control.
• Use the control to set the desired time.

• During processing, the consistency of the ice-cream should be monitored. If it is too firm, switch the appliance off. Should the mass become too hard, the motor will in any case stop to prevent damage to the unit.
• If the ice-cream is not taken out immediately after processing, the unit automatically starts an additional cooling phase after around 10 minutes. The display shows COOL and the ice-cream is cooled for another 10 minutes, when beep signals are heard and the unit switches to standby-mode.

Hints

• If you prefer a firmer consistency, you can extend the processing time, or transfer the ice-cream into an airtight container and place it in a freezer until the desired consistency is reached.
• Do not place the ice-cream bowl into a freezer.
• Food aromas are generally stronger before chilling; likewise, sweetness is reduced when the food is frozen.
• Sugar may be replaced by artificial sweeteners.
• When using yoghurt, any excess water should be drained off first.
• Nuts, fruits and other ingredients should be chilled before use, and only added to the ice-cream 1 – 3 minutes before the preparation is finished.
• All ingredients that do not require prior cooking or heating are best prepared in an electric blender to increase the volume of the mixture.
• When using eggs in a recipe, it is advisable to heat up the mixture in order to eliminate any bacteria.
• The taste of sorbets (fruit ice-cream) largely depends on the ripeness and sweetness of the fruit used.
• For longer-term storage of the ice-cream in a freezer, it should be put in a suitable air-tight container.

Making yoghurt
Ingredients

• To make yoghurt you will need the specified amount of milk and, to start the fermentation process, natural fresh yoghurt (without, fruit or fruit juice).
• Yoghurt with a thicker consistency is achieved by using milk and yoghurt with a similar (preferably high) fat content.
• The addition of milk powder (ca. 1.5 tbsp. for 600 ml of milk) also thickens the yoghurt.
• Dry culture can be used instead of fresh yoghurt. Simply follow the instructions on the packet. Dry culture yoghurt is available in eg health food stores.
• Generally, any sort of milk can be used. Sterilised or U. H. T. milk will give the best results. Any other sort of milk should be heated up to 90°C for a short time before use. Allow the milk to cool down to approx. 40°C afterwards.
• During processing, any kind of shock or vibrations should be avoided.

Preparing the ingredients

• Add 30 g of natural yoghurt (without adding sugar, fruits or fruit juice) into a separate container.
• Dry culture can be used instead of fresh yoghurt:
• Put the yoghurt powder into the separate container, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Briefly heat up 600 ml of milk to 90°C in a pot, and then allow it to cool to approx. 40°C.
• Mix the milk and yoghurt/yoghurt powder together and stir gently but thoroughly.

Processing

• Proceed as described under ‘Preparing the unit’.

• Turn the rotary control until the symbol appears.

• Confirm the selection by briefly pressing the control.

• Use the control to set the desired time.
  With warm milk, it will take 5 to 6 hours to make yoghurt. If cold milk is used, it will take 8 to 9 hours to make yoghurt.

• Start the programme by briefly pressing the control again.

• The yoghurt-making process starts.

• Once the pre-set time has elapsed, beep signals are heard. The display shows COOL, and the unit starts to bring the yoghurt mass down to fridge temperature until it is switched off.

After processing

• Switch the appliance off and disconnect it from the mains.

• Take off the lid and use a plastic scraper or similar implement to remove the processed food.
  Caution: Do not use any metal objects.

• The appliance and its accessories should be cleaned after each use.

Cleaning and care

• Before cleaning, ensure that the appliance is disconnected from the power supply.
• Always wait until the unit has cooled down to ambient temperature before the interior is cleaned.
• Do not use abrasives, harsh cleaning solutions or hard brushes for cleaning.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the appliance with water and do not immerse it in water. Clean the exterior with a slightly damp cloth.
• The ice-cream bowl, lid, stirring insert, measuring cup and ice-cream scraper may be cleaned in hot water using a normal detergent.
  Note: these components are not dishwasher-proof.
