3. Insert the four stainless-steel pans into their designated slots within the display area.

4.3 Power Connection

Connect the power cord to a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the requirements specified on the product label. Allow the unit to stand upright for at least 2 hours before plugging it in to allow refrigerant to settle.

5.2 Temperature Control

The unit features a digital temperature control panel. Use the arrow buttons (▲ / ▼) to adjust the desired temperature. The display will show the current internal temperature. Allow several hours for the unit to reach the set temperature before loading products.

For optimal preservation of frozen desserts, maintain a temperature range suitable for gelato or ice cream, typically between -10°F to 0°F (-23°C to -18°C). Refer to your product's specific storage requirements.

5.3 Loading Products

Place pre-chilled or frozen products into the stainless-steel pans. Ensure products do not exceed the top edge of the pans to allow for proper air circulation and to prevent contact with the glass sneeze guard when closed.

6.2 Defrosting

Over time, frost may accumulate inside the unit, particularly around the cooling coils. Regular defrosting is necessary to maintain efficiency. The frequency depends on usage and ambient conditions, but a weekly check is recommended.
