Operating Instructions
Preparing Ingredients:
For best results, prepare your ice cream mixture according to your recipe. Ensure the mixture is chilled (preferably 4°C / 39°F or below) before adding it to the machine. The machine can produce up to 1.5 liters of ice cream or 1.8 liters of yogurt per batch.

- Add Mixture: Pour the chilled ice cream mixture into the removable ice cream bucket. Do not fill above the MAX line to allow for expansion during freezing.

- Adjust Time (Optional): If desired, adjust the churning time using the '+' and '-' buttons on the touchscreen.
- Start Churning: Press the START/STOP button to begin the churning process. The machine's built-in compressor will automatically cool the mixture while the mixing arm churns.
