•For the preparation of ice creams and
sorbets, do not introduce more than 1.25kg
of mixture, in order to allow for proper volume
increase while mixing.
•For the preparation of Granitas, the maximum
recommended amount is 1kg. mixed with the
paddle provided. It can process up to 1.5kg.
of Granita using the special Granita paddle
that can be purchased separately.
•It is recommended to pour the mixture at a
temperature between +10°C and +20°C.
Higher temperatures may also considerably
increase the processing time.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
•Check that the voltage indicated on the data
plate corresponds to the local network.
•Insert the mixing paddle (5) in the pot, turning
it clockwise until it is positioned in the bottom
of the pot.
•Tighten the locking ring (4) to the bottom so
that the mixing paddle is securely attached.
•Pour the previously prepared mixture.
•Close the lid (3).
•Start the cooling system by pressing the
Button (1).
IMPORTANT: if the machine is turned off due
to sudden and temporary suspension of
power supply or incorrect operation using the
power keys of the refrigerant, wait a few
minutes before restarting.
•Press button (2) to start the paddle; the
production cycle begins. The preparation
time varies depending on the quantity, initial
temperature of the mixture, product type
(creamed, sorbet or Granita) and ambient
temperature.
IMPORTANT: The movement of the paddle is
entirely independent of the cooling system. A
safety device stops the movement of the
paddle when the lid is lifted.
If the lid remains raised for prolonged periods,
the cooling system will continue to operate.
Consequently, when the lid is lowered again
the paddle may not start or stop due to the
excessive consistency of the mixture. In this
case, the electronic control will permanently
stop the paddle.
If the preparation is not yet complete, turn off
the compressor by pressing the button (1) and
the paddle via the button (2), wait until the
6
English
mixture becomes softer and restart
production.
•According to the recipe and the amount of
ingredients used, average production time is
15/20 minutes.
•Through the opening (3a) on the lid, you can
add additional ingredients (e.g. to make
ripple ice cream during the last preparation
phase).
•When the preparation has reached the
desired consistency, turn off the cooling
system by pressing button (1) and stop the
paddle by pressing button (2). To easily
remove the preparation from the pot, remove
the mixing paddle (5) by loosening the
appropriate locking ring (4).
TIPS
•Using ingredients at refrigerator temperature
will reduce the processing time.
•Be careful not to insert ingredients that are
too cold or nearly froze, as whipping may
have a poor quality.
•For a correct volume increase during mixing,
use maximum 1.25kg of ingredients for the
preparation of ice cream and sorbet.
•For the preparation of Granita, the maximum
amount of ingredients is 1Kg with the paddle
supplied with the machine.
It can process up to 1.5kg of Granita using
the special Granita paddle that can be
purchased separately.
CLEANING THE POT
GELATO 5Ksc is designed to facilitate pot
cleaning. Proceed as follows:
•Turn off the cooling system, remove the
paddle and pour at least 2 litres of hot water
and a low-foaming detergent into the pot.
•Wash the pot with a sponge. Do not use
sharp utensils inside the pot.
•Place an empty container of at least 3 litres
under the drain (8).
•Remove the plug (9). The water in the pot
begins to flow into the container below.
•Repeat the operation using hot, clean water
and rinse thoroughly.
•When the pot is empty, clean the discharge
pipe using the cleaner (11) previously
cleaned.
•Reposition the plug (9) until the pot discharge
