Warnings for the Use of the Appliance

WARNING:
The appliance contains the refrigerant isobutane (R600a) in the refrigerant circuit, a natural gas with high environmental compatibility, which is flammable. When transporting and setting up the appliance, make sure that the appliance does not fall down. The refrigerant circuit should not be damaged.
CAUTION:

• Be sure to observe the waiting time of 2 hours when using the appliance for the first time or after transport, so that the refrigerant can settle. Otherwise, the refrigeration compressor would be damaged.

• Do not use a metal spoon when removing the ice cream or yoghurt so as not to scratch the coating in the container.

• Use gloves to protect your hands when removing the container after making ice cream. There is a risk of burns from the cold!
  If the Refrigerant Circuit is Damaged

• Avoid open flames and sources of ignition at all costs.

• Pull the appliance’s mains plug out of the socket.

• Ventilate the room in which the appliance is located.

Notes for Use

Location

• Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal and level surface. Keep a distance of at least 15 cm from walls or objects.
• Do not place the appliance on or in the immediate vicinity of heat sources such as stoves, radiators, etc.

Electrical Connection
Before you plug the mains plug into the socket, check that the mains voltage you intend to use matches that of the appliance. You will find the information on the type plate.

Functions of the Buttons

• Use the button to switch the appliance on and off.

• Use the button to select a programme.

• You can start the selected programme with the  button.

• You can interrupt the activated programme with the button. When preparing ice, the compressor continues to cool for 1 minute. Press the button again to continue the programme.

• If you want to cancel a programme, press the button.
  The appliance switches off.

• If the or programme has been cancelled with the button, maintain at least 5 minutes before restarting the appliance. This ensures that the pressure in the refrigerant circuit can relax..

Preparation Time

• The preparation time of ice cream or yoghurt varies. It depends on the following factors:
  – the recipe,
  – the temperature of the mixture,
  – the ambient temperature,
  – the desired consistency.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended during operation.

• Ice Preparation:

• When preparing ice cream, constantly check the consistency of the mixture.

• The ice cream mixture should not be too thin or too thick.

• Yoghurt Preparation:

• If the yoghurt is not as desired after the factory-set time has elapsed, start the programme again. Stop the second programme run when the yoghurt has reached the desired consistency.

• The consistency of the yoghurt becomes firmer when it is placed in the refrigerator after preparation.

Protective Functions During Ice Cream Preparation

• If the stirring tool stops during operation because the ice cream mass has become too solid, the motor will stall.
  1. Switch off the appliance immediately. Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
  2. Remove the ice cream.

• You can start another operation immediately after preparing ice cream. For protection, the compressor only switches on after about 3 minutes.

• When preparing several portions of ice cream in succession, overheating protection may be activated. The compressor does not switch on. Allow the appliance to cool down for about 30 minutes before using it again.

Preparation for Making Ice Cream

1. Make sure that the container is completely dry before you insert it. Place the container in the well of the base unit.

2. Fill the desired ingredients into the container.
   – Do not fill more than 550 ml into the container!
   – Use ingredients that have a refrigerator temperature of 6 – 8 °C.
   – The ingredients should not be frozen. This could cause the motor to block.
   – If you want to prepare fruit ice cream, use only soft, seedless fruit that you have crushed (puréed) beforehand. You can also add fruit juices.
   – If you want to refine the ice cream with solid pieces of fruit, nuts, brittle or alcohol, only add these ingredients at the end of the freezing time.
   – Alcohol inhibits the freezing process.

3. Fit the transparent lid to the motor housing. Make sure that both latches of the motor housing engage with a “click” on the lid.

4. Put the stirring tool onto the drive shaft on the motor. The stirring tool must engage with a “click”.

5. Place the motor housing with lid and stirring tool so that the arrow on the cover points in the direction of the symbol .

6. Close the lid by turning it in the direction of the symbol .

Preparation for Making Yoghurt

You need pasteurised milk (UHT milk) and natural yoghurt in a mixing ratio of 100 ml : 15 ml.

1. Choose the location so that the appliance does not have to be moved during yoghurt preparation and is not exposed to vibrations. The yoghurt will otherwise remain liquid.

2. Heat the UHT milk in a pot to about 45 °C and mix in the natural yoghurt or the yoghurt culture. If you want to use fresh milk, boil it first and let it cool down to about 45 °C.

3. Place the container in the well of the base unit.

4. Pour the already heated mixture into the container.
   – Do not fill more than 900 ml into the container!
   – If you want to refine the yoghurt with fruit, nuts, jam or similar, add these ingredients only after preparation.

5. Separate the transparent lid from the motor housing: If fitted, first remove the stirring tool from the drive shaft.
   Press both catches on the motor housing inwards to remove the lid.

6. Put on the transparent lid without the motor housing.
   This keeps the heat inside the appliance.
