If the recipe requires ingredients to be added (pieces of chocolate, raisins, fruit...), turn the
selector to the position for a maximum of 1 minute.
Important:

paddle.
When the gelato reaches the required texture, place the selector in the position to turn
the appliance off. Normally each gelato making cycle lasts about30 - 40 minutes.

damage to the paddle rotation mechanism.

the eggs and sugar, etc.), you are recommended to prepare the ingredients in a separate con-
tainer and then pour them into the bowl.
