1. Select the pre-cool function.
2. Press Start/Stop. The pre-cool
function will now start. The machine
displays "Cooling". The stirring arm
does not rotate in this mode; only the
compressor is active.
3. You can cancel pre-cooling mode at
any time by pressing the pre-cool
button again.
4. An acoustic signal sounds when pre-
cooling mode has finished. Now add
the ice cream mixture and confirm
with the "Start/Stop" button.
Post-cooling function
The post-cooling function keeps your
ice cream cold if it is not immediately
removed. The post-cooling programme
automatically starts 10 minutes after the
ice cream programme has finished. The
machine stirs only occasionally so that
the ice cream does not turn solid. You
can pause post-cool mode by pressing
the "Start/Stop" button. Note that the
compressor will continue to run to protect
it from being switched on and off too
frequently. Remove the ice cream as soon
as possible.
Adjustment of stirring speed
You can use the corresponding button to
adjust the stirring speed of the ice cream
machine. The speed determines how
28
much air is worked under the ice and the
fineness of the ice crystals formed. The
highest setting yields the airiest ice cream
with the finest ice crystals. This setting
is particularly suitable for milk-based
ice cream, which is particularly good at
retaining the air that has been worked
in to the mixture. The slowest setting is
particularly suitable for sorbet, which
retains little air due to the ingredients
used. Try out different possibilities and
prepare your ice cream the way you like it.
Tips 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.
• Only puree fruit just prior to
preparation and add any fruit pieces
only towards the end of the cycle.
• Instead of sugar, you can also use
honey or syrup as sweeteners.
• The colder the ice cream mass is
before beginning with the preparation,
the shorter the preparation time.
• Alcohol lengthens the freezing time.
