preventing the compressor to restart until cool,
as to avoid damages to the unit.
•Close the transparent lid (3) over the bowl.
•To start the paddle movement, rotate the
knob (2) clockwise. Set the rotating speed
near the half of maximum by rotating the knob
(7). Preparation time varies according to
quantity, temperature of the mix, type of ice
cream (cream-style or sherbet), and room
temperature.
IMPORTANT: Movement of the mixing paddle
is completely independent from the freezing
system. A safety device stops automatically
the paddle when the lid is not in closed
position.
•Depending on the quantity of ingredients and
recipe used you will have a delicious fresh ice
cream in 10/15 minutes.
•By the opening (3a) on the cover, you can add
some ingredients during the preparation of
the ice cream.
•When the ice cream has reached the desired
consistency, is now possible to proceed with
the extrusion operation.
EXTRUSION OF THE ICE CREAM

•Prepare the ice cream tray on the bracket (8).
•Turn off the freezing plant by rotating the knob
(1).
•Open the extrusion system by pull out the flat
gate (9).
•Rotate counterclockwise the knob (2). The
paddle will turn clockwise starting the
extrusion process.
•When the quantity of the ice cream in the bowl
decrease, you can increase the rotating

•In order to extrude the last portion of ice
cream, stop the paddle by operating the
knob (2), lift the cover (3) and patch the
residual ice cream on the bottom of the bowl.
Proceed again with the extrusion procedure.
•Once the extrusion process is terminated,
close the extrusion gate with the handle (9).
ATTENTION! The extrusion time strictly
depends from the ice cream hardness. An
hard ice cream will thake longer time to
extrude. Under certain circumstances, the
power required to start the extrusion process
English
may cause the motor thermal protection trip. In
this case, power off the motor, wait a few
minutes in order to allow to the ice cream
becoming softer and power on the motor
again: the extrusion process will restart.
HELPFUL HINTS
•Ingredients should preferably be pre-chilled
to refrigerator temperature; this will shorten
ice-cream making times.
•For better results, start refrigeration by turning
the knob (1) 5 minutes before pouring in the
ingredients.
•To allow volume to increase of the mixture, do
not fill the container to more than half its
capacity (use max. 2,5 Kg of ingredients).
