ingredients that exceed 25°C into the machine.
Pour in the ingredients up to half the volume
of the bowl. The mixture increases in volume
during preparation.
Alcoholic ingredients slow down the cooling
process. The alcohol should therefore be
added during the last few minutes of
preparation.
The flavour of sorbets primarily depends on
the ripeness and sweetness of the fruit and
juice used. Remember that cold reduces the
perception of sweetness.
Fruit used in recipes must always be washed
and dried before use. Even when not
specified, the fruit must always be peeled,
pitted, etc.
For the total amount of a recipe to be
reduced, the amount of every ingredient must
be reduced proportionally.
The preparation time varies according to the
quantity and temperature of the ingredients
and the environment and the type of
preparation, if ice cream or sorbet.
WHAT MAY NOT WORK
Under normal conditions, ice cream
preparation takes no more than 30-40
minutes.
If the ice cream has still not formed after 40-
50 minutes, check all the following points
before requesting assistance from an
authorised service centre:
The ingredients must be poured into the ice
cream maker at room temperature or better,
at refrigerator temperature. It is impossible to
make ice cream if the ingredients are hot.
The bowl must not be filled to more than half
its capacity. If there are too many ingredients,
the time required for the ice cream to form
increases significantly and the result may not
be satisfactory.
Due to the presence of a safety device on the
compressor, the cooling device stops
running if a power cut should occur or if the
machine is switched off and on again for any
reason.
In these cases, let the appliance rest for 10
minutes before turning it back on
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: the machine switches to the
storage phase, but the ice cream is not fully
ENGLISH
formed.
POSSIBLE CAUSES:
The solution of salt and water or alcohol was
not included between the fixed and
removable bowls (see section USE WITH
REMOVABLE BOWL).
The ingredients of the recipe are not
balanced correctly.
The initial temperature of the ingredients was
not between +5°C and +20°C.
The room temperature is above 30°C.
The amount of ingredients is excessive. Do
not fill more than half the bowl.
Excessive use of the Pause function.
PROBLEM: The machine does not cool
down:
POSSIBLE CAUSES:
T h e c o o l i n g s y s t e m i s c o n t r o l l e d
automatically by the software. The system
works as needed during the storage and/or
pause phases. Make sure that it is not in one
of those phases. Wait for the required time to
elapse before intervening.
Check that the power plug is properly
plugged in and that the electricity reaches the
appliance. Check that the L.1 button is lit
(dim)
If a power failure has occurred or the plug has
been accidentally disconnected. Operation
stops.
Wait 5 minutes before restarting the machine.
If this pause is not respected, the
refrigeration system may be damaged or it
may need a very long time before restarting.
Check that the machine is positioned
correctly with the vents free from any
obstruction.
Check that the ventilation works, making sure
that the air comes out of the front grid.
PROBLEM: The blade does not turn
POSSIBLE CAUSES:
The freezing blade is controlled automatically
by the software. It works as needed during
the storage and/or pause phases. Make sure
that it is not in one of those phases. Wait for
t h e r e q u i r e d t i m e t o e l a p s e b e f o r e
intervening.
Check that the blade is securely attached to
the shaft and locked with the specific fixing
