BEFORE USING your ICE CREAM
MAKER…
oHygiene is the most important aspect of ice
cream making.
oEnsure that all parts of this appliance, especially those
coming into direct contact with the ice cream, are kept
scrupulously clean.
:Do not use sharp utensils inside the bowl! Sharp
objects will scratch and damage the inside of the bowl.
A plastic spatula or a metal spoon may be used carefully
when the appliance is in the ‘OFF’ or ‘0’ position.
:Never clean with scouring powders or hard
implements.
:Do not clean any part of your ice cream maker
inside a dishwasher.
:Do not use outdoors or anywhere that is exposed to
the elements.
:Never turn off the freezing switch (‘L’ on key on
previous page) while the machine is working. In
case you accidentally switch it off or the power fails, wait
at least 10 minutes before turning it on again.

After removing the ice cream maker from its
packaging, check it for damage. If in doubt, DO NOT
use the appliance.
Plastic bags, polystyrene, nails, etc. must not be left
within reach of children as they are potentially
dangerous.
Your ice cream maker contains its own refrigerant
which must be allowed to settle after transport.
Leave your appliance on a horizontal surface for at least 12
hours after purchase or after any move where the machine
might have been stored the wrong way up.
Leave at least 20cm on each side of the machine to allow
free air circulation. Make sure the vent slots are free and
unobstructed.
Please keep all packaging from your ice cream maker. You
will need these in case you should return the appliance for
repair or for any other reason. If the machine is sent back
packaged improperly (i.e., in a box not suitable for
transport), all repairing charges will be incurred by the
sender, even if the machine is under warranty. If the
machine doesn’t need to be repaired and the package is not
suitable, the machine will be sent back to the sender, also.
NOTE:
The compressor is fitted with a safety device to prevent any
possible damage to the motor unit. Should you restart the
machine immediately after it has been switched off, the
compressor will not freeze and your appliance will not make
ice cream.

Your Ice Cream Maker’s Controls:
The paddle movement and the freezing plant are
independent:
9The switch marked ‘L’ on the key turns the
REFRIGERATION ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’.
9The switch marked ‘M’ turns the MIXING PADDLE ‘ON’
and ‘OFF’.
*********************************************
TO STOP THE MACHINE, PRESS DOWN on both the
switches marked ‘M’ & ‘L’ in the key.
After switching the ice cream maker off, wait about 10 minutes
before making any more cream.
**********************************************
NOTE:
Variations in speed and noise during ice-cream making are
normal and in no way affect the unit’s good functioning.
In case the ice cream becomes too hard, the motor will stop
by itself. Your ice cream maker’s motor is fitted with a safety
device that protects it from possible damage. If the machine does
not seem to begin working again, wait until the motor cools before
trying to restart your appliance.

How to make Excellent Ice Cream
Making Good, Healthy, Natural ice cream with the Right
Consistency depends on the following factors:
1) An appliance that is in GOOD WORKING ORDER:
Note: Leave enough space on the sides of your ice cream maker so
as to allow air to circulate freely. This air flow is necessary to
cool the compressor.
2) Good, Fresh, INGREDIENTS.
3) A good RECIPE: a perfect BLEND of ingredients and
PERFECT PROCESSING.
USING YOUR GELATO BIC1CH ICE
CREAM MAKER:
1) Carefully clean all parts that come in direct contact
with ingredients. WARNING – Ensure that the unit is
unplugged before starting to clean.
2) Insert the mixing paddle (‘B’) securely into the drive
shaft in the fixed bowl.
3) Lock the paddle in place by screwing the knob (‘C’)
clockwise over the shaft.

Your Baumatic Gelato BIC1CH

4) Press the ‘L’ switch to start the cooling process. Pre-
cool the machine for 5 minutes.
5) Press the ‘M’ switch to start the mixing paddle.
6) Pour the mixture into the bowl. NOTE: For best
results, we suggest you pre-mix ingredients in a
separate bowl so as to obtain a smooth, lump-free
mixture.
NOTE: Always use ingredients at fridge temperature so as to
reduce temperature differences and cut down preparation time.
7) Place the transparent cover (‘D’) on the bowl.
Preparation time varies according to quantity, temperature
of the mix, type of ice cream (cream-style or sherbert), and
room temperature.
8) When your ice cream has reached the desired
consistency, switch off ‘L’ and ‘M’ switches.
9) Unscrew the knob (‘C’) anticlockwise and pull out the
paddle.
10) When taking out the ice cream for serving or storing,
use the spatula (‘E’). Avoid all metal tools.
11) Allow the motor to cool down (approximately 10
minutes); you can then make a new batch of ice
cream by repeating all the above operations.
12) Unplug the unit when finished.

***********************************************
USING THE REMOVABLE BOWL
Use of the removable bowl makes it easier to make consecutive
batches of ice cream. The removable bowl is also easier to clean.
When using the removable bowl:
1) Remove the lid (‘D’), unscrew the knob (‘C’), and
remove the mixing paddle (‘B’).
2) Pour two measuring cups (‘H’) (50ml) full of brandy
or other liquor into the fixed bowl. As an alternative,
you can use a solution of salt and water (40ml water
and 10g salt).
NOTE : the wall of the removable bowl must be completely wet.
This is vital to allow the good cold transmission from the fixed bowl to
removable bowl.
3) Insert the removable bowl (‘G’) securely: making
sure it is level with the top part of the unit.
4) Insert the mixing paddle for the removable bowl (‘F’)
and secure the paddle in place by locking knob ‘C’
clockwise. The appliance is now ready for use.
5) Follow the procedure described in the paragraph
(‘USING THE FIXED BOWL’) from item 4 to item 10.
To remove the bowl, unscrew the knob ‘C’ anticlockwise.

Your Baumatic Gelato BIC1CH
12
Pull out the bowl ‘G’. If you wish, you may leave the ice
cream in the bowl and use the latter to store the product in
the freezer compartment (-12 °C **).
6) Unplug your ice cream maker when finished.
***********************************************
USEFUL HINTS
oMIX and BLEND ice-cream ingredients in a separate
bowl.
oUse pre-cooled ingredients.
oDo not fill the bowl more than half full (max 1.1 Kg of
ingredients). This will allow the volume to increase
during churning to maximum bowl capacity.
oTo avoid the forming of ice or frost, do not leave the ice
cream in the bowl for too long with the refrigeration on.
Turn off the unit as soon as the ice cream has reached
the desired consistency.
oServe the ice cream, preferably, into pre-cooled bowls.
ICE CREAM STORAGE SYSTEM.
The storage function means you can store the ice-cream
you make in your machine, in your machine! Once it has
been made, your ice cream maker will store it at the right
temperature, consistency, and fluffiness for the desired amount of
time.

Your Baumatic Gelato BIC1CH
13
NOTE: An electronic system constantly monitors your ice-cream’s
consistency.
Once this has reached the established value, the paddle and
compressor stop automatically. During the time in which the paddle
motor and compressor are stopped, the light indicator referring to the ice-
cream storage mechanism flashes.
_____NOTE_____
Both paddle and compressor are automatically restarted just as soon as the
consistency of the ice cream falls below the set level. While the paddle and
compressor are operating, the light indicator of the storage mechanism
remains constantly on.
ÂTo activate the ice cream storage system,
press the (‘N’) switch.
NOTE: The storage mechanism is, in fact, only operative
when all three switches are pressed so that the three light
indicators are on.
GUIDELINES FOR STORING ICE CREAM
In the Ice Cream maker. When the ice cream is ready, you
can keep it covered in the ice cream maker for approximately
10-20 minutes. Before serving, start the motor and stir it again
for a few minutes to the right consistency and smoothness.
You can also activate the ice cream storage system
by pressing the ‘N’ switch to store the ice cream in
the machine for a maximum of 12 hours (for hygienic
reasons).
In the freezer. The ice cream can also be stored in the freezer
for up to 1-2 weeks, depending on the ingredients you have
used.

Your Baumatic Gelato BIC1CH
14
NOTE:
Do not store the ice cream you have made for too long; in
any case never for longer than 2 weeks as it will lose
flavour and quality.
Should you wish to store the ice cream in the freezer, pay
attention to the following:
9Store the ice cream in a clean, well-sealed bowl suitable for
freezing.
The storage temperature must be at least -14°C.
9Attach a label to the bowl with a date showing when the ice
cream was made and what kind of ice cream it is.
***************************************************
CAUTION: DEFROSTED OR SEMI-DEFROSTED ICE CREAM MUST
NEVER BE PUT BACK INTO THE FREEZER.
Before serving, we suggest you remove the ice cream from the
freezer for about 30 minutes beforehand and place it in your
refrigerator.
Alternatively, you can leave it at room temperature for about 10-
15 minutes.
MAXIMUM STORAGE TIME: Never exceed the recommended
storage time.
ÂIce Cream made with fresh, raw ingredients (eg., fresh
strawberries): up to one week.
ÂSorbet or yoghourt-based ice cream: from one to two
weeks at the most.
ÂIce Cream made with cooked ingredients: up to two weeks.

CLEANING YOUR ICE
CREAM MAKER:
Make sure your ice cream maker
has been switched off and
unplugged before you attempt any
kind of cleaning on it.
9Wash the paddle, the clear lid, the
locking knob and the removable bowl in
warm, soapy water.
9Use a damp cloth to clean the body of the
machine.
NOTE: NEVER IMMERSE THE
MAIN BODY OF YOR ICE CREAM
MAKER IN WATER OR ANY OTHER
LIQUID!
Note: When the removable aluminium
bowl is used, it is essential to eliminate
every trace of salt/water solution from
the parts that have come into contact with
it in order to prevent corrosion.
