PRESET FUNCTIONS
The Sage^® Smart Scoop^™ has four pre-set functions to pick from. Select one of the following settings; sorbet, frozen yogurt, gelato, or ice cream.
PRE-COOL
It's good practice to pre-cool the machine when preparing your dessert base. This optional function will cool the machine to approximately -10 to -30°C and usually take about 5–10 minutes.
KEEP COOL
Once the consistency of the dessert has been achieved, Keep Cool will prevent the mixture from melting for up to 3 hours. When the machine is in this mode, note that the compressor will operate intermittently to ensure consistency of the dessert.
CHILD LOCK
The Sage^® Smart Scoop^™ features a child lock. Press and hold HOLD for 2 seconds to set the child lock mode. To exit this mode press and hold for 2 seconds again.
ADD MIX-INS
Mix-ins such as chocolate chips, fresh fruit and flavours can all be added easily through the flip back lid. The ice cream machine will beep and ADD MIX-INS will flash to let you know that it is time to add your favourite condiments!

Keep Cool will keep the frozen dessert chilled and churned for up to 3 hours.
Add mix-ins will flash to let you know when it is time to add your favourite mix-ins.
Pre-Cooling
Pre-cool works by reducing the temperature of the cooling chamber to its optimal operating temperature before the base mix is introduced. 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.
Press Start flashes when in the PRE-COOL mode to advise that the machine is chilled and ready to start churning.
Remove blade indicates that the dessert is finished and the blade can be removed from the bowl.

Functions

BEFORE FIRST USE

Machine preparation
Remove and discard all labelling and packaging materials attached to your ice cream machine. Ensure you have removed all parts and accessories before discarding the packaging.

Remove the lid, ice cream bowl and paddle from the machine. Clean these parts and accessories using warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.

Ensure all parts are completely dry.

FIRST USE

Initial start up

Place paddle inside the bowl.
Place ingredients inside the bowl in order of the recipe.
Place ice cream bowl into the ice cream chamber.
There are 2 grooves in the bowl chamber. When positioning the bowl, align so that the bowl handle hinge is positioned within these grooves.
Make sure the BOWL CHAMBER and the exterior of the ice cream bowl is completely dry before inserting.

To lock the lid into position, align the lid handle to the alignment graphic, rotating clockwise into the LOCK position.
Press the POWER button to turn the machine on.
Rotate the hardness selection dial to your chosen dessert.
Press the START / PAUSE button to begin the churning process. The elapsed time will be displayed on the LCD.
The smart scoop will beep when your dessert has reached its desired consistency.

PRE-COOL

NOTE
PRE-COOL can only be operated in the stand by mode, before pressing START / PAUSE button.

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.
To select PRE-COOL function, press the 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 to approximately -10°C to -30°C, taking about 5-10 minutes. READY will illuminate and PRESS START will flash on the LCD screen when the ice cream maker has reached optimal temperature.
The paddle will start turning after 15 minutes has passed, but will not start making the frozen dessert unless the START / PAUSE button is pressed.
In this function, the LCD screen will display the temperature, PRE-COOLING will illuminate and the progress indicator will scroll, to let you know that you are in this mode.
PRE-COOL will return to standby after 20 minutes or alternatively can be switched off either by pressing PRE-COOL button again or pressing the START / PAUSE button which will override the pre-cooling mode.

NOTE
START / PAUSE button will have to be pressed to start the churning process after pre-cooling.

Care & Cleaning

Ensure that the ice cream machine is turned off by pressing the POWER button. The ice cream machine is off when the START / PAUSE button's LED light is no longer illuminating red. Remove the power plug from the power outlet. Allow the ice cream machine compressor to cool completely before disassembling and cleaning.

CLEANING THE STAINLESS STEEL HOUSING

Wipe the exterior of the stainless steel housing and the LCD screen with a soft damp cloth. Do not use a dry paper towel or cloth to clean the LCD screen, or use an abrasive cleanser or metal scouring pad to clean any part of the ice cream machine as these will scratch the surface.
NOTE

Never immerse the stainless steel housing in water or place in the dishwasher. Take care not to allow water or cleaning fluids to seep under the buttons or LCD screen on the control panel.
To clean the ice cream chamber ensure that the unit is at room temperature. Wipe out with soapy water and a soft damp cloth.

If over-spill of cream, milk, chocolate etc. occurs in the interior chamber, carefully remove using a soft, damp cloth.
Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to inserting the power plug into a power outlet.

CLEANING THE LID

The lid can be cleaned in warm soapy water, using a soft sponge. Do not use an abrasive cleanser or metal scouring pad as these will scratch the surface. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to placing into the ice cream machine.

CLEANING THE ICE CREAM BOWL

Fill the ice cream bowl up halfway with warm soapy water. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used. Allow to stand for 10-20 minutes.

NOTE
Ice Cream Bowl is NOT dishwasher safe.

CLEANING THE PADDLE

Wash the paddle with warm soapy water. Using the bottle brush supplied insert this in the central part of the paddle to clean all the ice cream out.
Let all surfaces dry thoroughly before reassembling the ice cream machine.

NOTE
Paddle and lid are dishwasher safe on the top rack ONLY.

STORAGE

Store the appliance in an upright position and level on it support legs. Do not store anything on top of the ice cream machine.

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 first 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. Different ingredients and quantities will effect 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 off 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.
My ice cream maker seems to be vibrating briefly?	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 off 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 difficult 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.
