air. The leakage of warm or hot air is an
integral part of the operation of the device,
that exchanges heat with the outside for
refrigeration.
•Hygiene is extremely important when
dealing with food. Carefully follow the
p r o v i s i o n s o f h y g i e n e s t a n d a r d s
applicable in your country (HACCP or
equivalent). Wash thoroughly all parts
coming in contact with ice cream (bowl,
paddle, lid, chute and flat gate).
•Mount the chute (11) and fix it in position by
the appropriate screws (14).
•Mount the metal frame and fix it in position
by the appropriate screws (12). Place in
position the tray and the cover grid.
•Insert the flat gate in the appropriate seat
and verify that there is no leaking when in
closed position.
PREPARING THE MIXTURE
Select the recipe and prepare the mixture,
paying attention to the following:
•Handle the ingredients as required by the
hygiene standards applicable in your
country (HACCP or equivalent).
•For the preparation of ice creams and
sorbets, do not introduce more than 5kg
2.
of mixture, in order to allow for proper
volume increase while mixing.
•It is recommended to pour the mixture at a
temperature b10°C and +20°C.
H i g h e r t e m p e r a t u r e s m a y a l s o
considerably increase the processing
time.
METHOD OF OPERATION
•Check that voltage on the rating plate
corresponds to the voltage of the mains.
Connect the plug to an electrical socket.
•Power on the machine by rotating the
general power switch (10).
•Insert the mixing paddle (5) in the
container, turning it clockwise until it is
correctly positioned on the bottom.
•Fit the retainer (4) to ensure that the mixing
paddle is locked in position.
•Verify that the flat gate (9) is in closed
position.
•Pour the ice-cream mixture previously
prepared intothe bowl.
•Turn on the knob (1) to start cooling.
IMPORTANT: if the appliance switches off,
due to a temporary power blackout, or
because the refrigeration switch was
accidentally turned off, wait five minutes
before restarting. The refrigeration circuit
has a special safety device 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
a d d s o m e i n g r e d i e n t s d u r i n g t h e
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
Proceed as described:
•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
6
7
English
English
bowl decrease, you can increase the
rotating speed of the paddle by turnig the
knob (7).
•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 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).
•The
ice-cream maker has a
GELATO 12K
powerful refrigeration system. Do not
leave the ice cream in the container for too
long with the refrigeration on, you might
find it frozen!
CLEANING THE BOWL
Cleaning the bowl of
is very
GELATO 12K
easy. Proceed as follows:
•Once the paddle is removed, turn off the
freezing plant and simply put inside the
bowl 2 litres of warm water.
•Wash out the bowl with a sponge. Do not
use sharp utensils inside the bowl!
•Pout an empty container of at least 3 litres
capacity under the chute (11).
•Open the extrusion system by pulling
theFlat gate (9); the water will flow on the
container below.
•If necessary, repeat the cleaning cycle until
the bowl will be clean. Clean the bottom of
the bowl with a sponge. Proceed with the
sanitization (see the SANITIZATION
chapter) in order to avoid any bacteria
growth.
•Dry the carefully the ice cream maker bowl
with a cloth in order to avoid any dirty deposit.
APPLIANCE CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
•Before starting to clean make sure that the
machine is switched off (power switch (10)
in OFF position) and unplugged.
•Remove the steel pin and remove the
transparent lid (3) from the machine.
•Wash the paddle (5), the transparent lid (3)
and the locking nut (4), in a soapy warm
water.
•To better clean the paddle, remove the
plastic inserts (18), (19) and (21) by pulling
it from his site.
•If the inserts are worn out, they must be
replaced to prevent the mixing action from
becoming less effective. These parts are
available from all authorised service
centres.
•Clean the chute (11) and the frame (8).
Leave it out from his site by unscrewing the
aprropriate screws (12) and (14). Clean
carefully the surrounding area.
ATTENTION: when mounting the pieces,
the screws must be tightened by hands.
•Clean carefully the extrusion system by
leaving out the flat gate support (9).
Unscrew the appropriate screws (13).
Clean carefully the gasket and the
surrounding zone. Check the integrity of
the gasket: an excessive wear can cause a
mixture leakage during ice cream making
operations.
ATTENTION: when mounting the pieces,
the screws must be tightened by hands.
