Making ice cream

1. Prepare the ingredients for the ice cream according to the recipe. Any mixtures that require prior cooking should be prepared a day in advance, leaving enough time for the mixture to cool.
2. Cool the prepared mixture and ingredients to approximately 6-8 °C (fridge temperature).
3. Only puree fruit just prior to preparation and add any fruit pieces only towards the end of the cycle.
4. Alcohol lengthens the freezing time. Use ingredients containing alcohol sparingly and add these only at the end of the freezing time.
5. Place the removable ice cream bowl in the chamber of the power unit.
6. Connect the mixing paddle to the shaft at the base of the ice cream bowl.
7. Pour the cooled mixture into the ice cream bowl. Ensure that it does not exceed the maximum liquid recommendation. Ensure the bowl is no more than 2/3 full, as the mixture will expand as it freezes.
8. Place the lid on the appliance and turn counterclockwise until it locks in place and is firmly closed.
9. Insert the plug to a power socket and turn on via the POWER button. The display will read 60:00.
10. The device is set to a general 60-minute preparation cycle. Press the TIME [+] or TIME [-] buttons to set another preparation time. This can be set in 1 minute increments from 60 to 1 minute.
11. Now press the START/STOP button. The appliance will begin the freezing and mixing process.
12. If the ice cream is not yet solid after the cycle, it can be left to freeze for up to 60 minutes. If the mixture freezes before the cycle ends, the appliance will stop and the ice cream can be removed.
13. During use, the duration of the cycle can be increased by pressing the TIME [+] button to increase the duration by 1 minute increments between 60 and 1 minutes. Pressing the TIME [-] button will reduce length of the cycle.
14. The remaining time will be displayed on the appliance.

Ice cream removal

1. Ice cream is ready when the display shows “00:00”. Before removing the product, switch the appliance off using the POWER button and unplug it from the socket.
2. Remove the transparent lid.
3. Take the container out of the appliance and carefully pull the mixing paddle out of the ice. If the ice cream container is frozen slightly and cannot easily be lifted out of the recess in the housing, wait for a few minutes and try removing it again.
4. Fill ice cream into suitable containers. Refrain from using sharp or pointed objects, but rather use a plastic or wooden spoon, to avoid damaging the ice cream container. We recommend silicone dough scrapers.
5. If you are finished making ice cream, switch off the appliance with the START/STOP button and disconnect the plug.

Cooling function
To keep the ice cream from melting, the cooling function automatically switches on: If the ice cream is not taken out within 10 minutes after preparation time is up and no other button is pressed, the ice cream maker will automatically go into cooling mode every ten minutes for 1 hour. Afterwards, the ice cream maker goes into standby mode.
Motor protection function
If the ice cream mass becomes harder, the motor can get jammed. The motor protection function makes sure that the mixing motor automatically stops at a hard ice cream consistency to avoid motor damage.
Tipps for perfect ice cream

• Self-made ice cream tastes best when fresh. It does not contain any preservatives and should therefore be eaten immediately, if possible.
• Always use very fresh eggs for your ice cream.
• Always use fully ripe fruits for fruit ice cream and only add them at the end of the preparation time through the opening in the lid.
• Instead of sugar, you can also use honey or syrup as sweeteners.
• You can substitute cream and milk for each other as you wish. The more cream you add, the creamier the ice cream will be.
• The colder the ice cream mass is before beginning with the preparation, the shorter the preparation time.
• For storage, do not use the device’s ice cream bowl but rather move the ice cream to a suitable container with a lid. You can prevent the formation of ice crystals by ensuring that your containers contains as little air as possible or by storing it upside down – this way, the crystals gather on the lid and not on the ice cream.
• Fill the ice cream container to a maximum of 2/3rd to prevent overflow. The ice cream expands during the freezing process.
• Please note: The ice cream mass always tastes overly sweet before freezing. However, if you taste the frozen ice cream later on, it will taste perfect.
• Consume the ice cream within a week and never refreeze thawed or defrosted ice cream.

Cleaning and care

Ice cream maker Emma should be cleaned and dried after each use as follows. Lack of or improper care of the appliance can impair the functionality.

• Never clean the device with or under running water or any other liquid. Especially the motor and the compressor may not come into contact with water.
• Do not use any scratching or abrasive detergents.
• The stainless steel ice cream container is dishwasher safe. All other removable parts may be put in the dishwasher.
• Clean all plastic parts on the top shelf of a dishwasher and use a programme with at most 60 °C to keep them from losing their shape. Make sure that the plastic part is not jammed.
• Wipe down the compressor housing with a moist cloth.
• Dry off all parts with a soft cloth before assembling them. Before using the ice cream maker again, all parts should be thoroughly cleaned and dried off.

Trouble shooting

If the device does not work properly, please check the following steps:

1. Check if the manual was followed precisely and correctly.
2. Check the following table for possible reasons.
3. Check if all fuses are working.

customer service for repair.
The stirring rod freezes. The ice cream has frozen into a hard edge on the outside but remains soft on the inside.| The motor protection function has been activated. Remove the container, pour your ice cream into a different container, and let the appliance rest for at least 30  minutes. Reduce the stirring duration next time.
The 2nd batch of ice cream freezes unevenly and the motor protection function activates itself, the mixer no longer rotates.| Let your appliance rest for at least 30 minutes before filling it with the next batch of ice cream.
The ice cream is too hard when it comes out of the freezer.| If your ice cream has been stored in the freezer for a longer period, you should first defrost it in the fridge or at room temperature for approx.10-30 minutes.
The ice cream is too runny.| You should generally freeze fruit ice cream or sorbet a little bit longer. To do so, fill the ice cream into a suitable and airtight container and allow it to freeze in the freezer for at least an additional 30 minutes.
Make sure that your ice cream mass is no warmer than room temperature when filling and never fill the appliance with hot ice cream mass. Optimal results are obtained at a temperature of approx. 6-8 °C.

If ice cream maker Emma should have any other issues, please contact a professional repair service. Do not try to repair the appliance yourself.
