The Unold 48950 is a 2-in-1 appliance designed for making slush ice and soft ice cream. It features a compressor cooling system, 5 preset programs, and a 1.5L usable capacity. Important: After unpacking, let the appliance stand for at least 2 hours with the lid open before first use to allow the refrigerant to settle.

Description of the appliance
The appliance consists of a housing with a rotary control, a cooling cylinder, a mixer, a mixing container, and a dispensing tap. A drip tray is included to catch spills.

Assembly
- Slide the drip tray into the bottom of the appliance.
- Place the mixer on the square drive pin and push it onto the cooling cylinder.
- Slide the mixing container onto the mixer and lock it by turning clockwise.
- Attach the front cover and lock it using the bayonet catch (turn clockwise).
- Insert the tap into the opening and secure it with the locking pin. Ensure the holes in the outlet and the lever are aligned.
Operation
1. Prepare your ingredients. 2. Pour the liquid into the mixing container (observe Min/Max markings). 3. Close the lid. 4. For soft ice cream, attach the ice nozzle. 5. Plug in the appliance and switch it on using the rotary control or Menu button. 6. Select the program (1-6) and adjust the consistency level if needed. 7. Press the rotary control to start. 8. When finished, a signal sounds, and the appliance enters cooling mode.
Cleaning and care
Interim cleaning: Select the "Extrude/Clean" program, fill with water up to "Max", and run for 4 minutes. Drain the water. Disassembly: Switch off and unplug. Remove the tap, front cover, and piston (using the provided tool). Clean the dispensing cylinder with the brush. All parts except the housing and cooling cylinder are dishwasher safe.
Safety
The appliance uses R290 refrigerant, which is flammable. Keep ventilation slots clear. Do not use mechanical devices to accelerate defrosting. Do not store explosive substances inside. The compressor has a 3-minute rest period protection feature.
