Making Ice Cream (3 Simple Steps)

1. Step 1: Add Ingredients. Prepare your ice cream mixture according to your recipe. Pour the mixture into the removable mixing bowl. Do not overfill; ensure the mixture is below the maximum fill line to allow for expansion during freezing.
2. Step 2: Lock the Lid and Stir. Place the mixing paddle into the bowl, then secure the transparent lid onto the machine.
3. Step 3: Select Mode and Set Time. Press the POWER button to turn on the machine. Use the MENU button to select 'Ice Cream Making' mode. Use the TIMER button to adjust the desired churning time (typically 40-60 minutes for ice cream). Press START/PAUSE to begin the process.

Once the process is complete, enjoy your freshly made ice cream!

Mode Settings

• Ice Cream Making Mode: This mode activates both the mixing paddle and the compressor for freezing, ideal for making ice cream, gelato, and sorbet.
• Mixing Only Mode: This mode only activates the mixing paddle without cooling. Useful for pre-mixing ingredients or stirring in additions like nuts or chocolate chips after freezing.
• Cooling Only Mode: This mode activates only the compressor for cooling without mixing. Useful for pre-chilling the bowl or keeping a mixture cold.

Keep Cooling Function

The Oliboni Ice Cream Maker features an extended 2-hour 'Keep Cooling' function. After the selected ice cream making cycle is complete, the machine will automatically enter this mode, maintaining the optimal temperature to prevent your ice cream from melting for up to two hours. This is particularly useful if you are not ready to serve immediately.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning the Machine

2. Remove the mixing bowl, mixing paddle, and lid. Wash these parts with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft cloth. These parts are not dishwasher safe.
