As the appliance is already cold it will take
less time to freeze. This reduces the churning
required to achieve the dense & creamy
consistency of a great gelato.

by mode, before pressing START / PAUSE
button.
a) PRE-COOL lowers the temperature of the
ice cream machine to reduce the time it
takes to prepare your dessert. It is optional
and is ideal to use while you are preparing
your ice cream base before churning.

PRE-COOL button. The light surrounding
the button will turn from white to red
to indicate that the machine is in
PRE-COOL mode.
This mode will ‘PRE-COOL’ the machine

about 5-10 minutes. READY will illuminate
and PRESS START will ash on the LCD

water or place in the dishwasher. Take care not
to allow water or cleaning uids to seep under

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION
Ice cream won’t
freeze
• START / PAUSE button needs to be pressed.
• Alcohol in ice cream? Added too much or too soon.
• Ensure that there is adequate ventilation around the ice
cream maker. We recommend leaving at least 15cm
between the ice cream machine and adjacent hard
surfaces.
Paddle won’t
move
• Paddle won’t move if the pre-cool function is selected for
the rst 5 minutes.
• Check to see if centre spindle is inserted correctly into plastic
paddle; if the centre spindle is not moving then there maybe
an issue with the machine – Call Sage®customer service.
Lid will not lock
into position
• Paddle and bowl are not positioned properly – make sure
the handle of the bowl sits within the grooves and paddle
is inserted properly.
Frozen dessert
not frozen in
allocated time
• Dessert mixture was too warm when placed in the ice
cream bowl for time allocated in manual setting.
• Dierent ingredients and quantities will eect freezing time.
Allow for more time if using ingredients like eggs/alcohol.
Can’t remove
bowl insert after
churning
• Ingredients may have spilt over the side of the bowl and into
the chamber. Turn the machine o and let stand for 10–20
minutes to defrost the ice cream. Then remove bowl and
wipe the interior chamber of the ice cream machine.
How do I make
soft serve ice
cream?
• The frozen desserts on the hardness indicator bar are only there
as a guide.Try making your soft serve on the sorbet setting.
You can turn the hardness back up if the ice cream is not hard
enough.
I want my ice
cream even
harder!
• Remove ice cream from ice cream bowl, place in another
air-tight container and place in freezer for a further
1–2 hours or until desired hardness is achieved.
Can I put my
mix-ins into the
custard base?
• Put your mix-ins at the end when prompted.
Note: Often ingredients such as fruits may disintegrate
during the churning process if added too early.

PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION
My ice cream
maker seems
to be vibrating
briey?
• The internal compressor is mounted on special rubber
mounts to reduce the noise and vibration during operation.
When cooling is not required the compressor will
automatically turn o and a small amount of vibration for
1–2 seconds is normal.
The controls don’t
work?
• The child lock may be on. Press and hold the
HOLD button for 2 seconds to disengage
the locking.
The ice cream
maker does not
remember my last
setting?
• The internal computer will only remember the settings once
START / PAUSE has been activated.
The temperature
is reading in
Fahrenheit
• Press button to change temperature units.
Ice Cream not
churning but the
compressor is on
• The PRE-COOL is activated.
• To preserve the life if the compressor there is a self timer
on the compressor. Please allow for up to 3 minutes for the
compressor to activate.
My ice cream
is icy? Why?
• Some desserts have a higher water content in them which
will make the mixture more icy.
I pulled the ice
cream out of the
freezer and it is
very hard. Why?
• Home made ice cream will always be harder than store
bought ice cream as it contains less air. We suggest
removing the ice cream for about 5–10 minutes before
serving.
Can I place the
ice cream bowl
into the freezer?
• We do not suggest placing the ice cream bowl in the freezer
as the ice cream will freeze solid and be very dicult to
scoop out. Do not use any sharp or metal utensils to scoop
the ice cream from the bowl as it may scratch the coating.
