7. Place the canister in the wooden bucket and make sure it
engages the cone in the center of the bucket. (Figure 4)
8. Slide the rectangular end of the hand crank or electric
motor into the rectangular hole on the rim of the bucket
(Figure 5a). The opposite end of the crank will drop into
the open end where the latch is (Figure 5c). You may
need to rotate the canister by hand so that the lid fits into
the motor/hand crank (Figure 5b). Gently lift the latch so
that the wire goes over the rounded end of the hand crank
or motor.

9. If you are using the electric motor, plug the power cord into a functioning
electrical outlet.
10. It is best to work in a water-safe area, placing the wooden bucket in a sink
or over several towels before you begin to add ice and salt. Fill the wooden
bucket with a small layer of ice (about 6 cups), evenly distributed around
the base of the canister. Be sure that the ice you put into the bucket is
broken into small, coarse pieces. You may use a mallet or hammer to
break into smaller pieces if needed. For each batch of ice cream, expect to
use 3-4 medium bags of ice or most of a 20 lb. bag.
11. Cover the first layer of ice evenly with a thin layer of rock salt (about 1/2
cup).
12. Repeat steps 10 and 11, layering the ice and salt until it reaches the top of
the canister. Stop when the top of the mixture reaches the bottom of the
drainage hole on the side of the wood bucket. Adding more ice will cause
the mixture to leak out of the drainage hole.
13. Add cold water to the ice-salt mixture until the water level reaches the
bottom of the drain hole.
14. As the ice melts down 2 to 3 inches, you may add more ice and more rock
salt to the mixture.
15. Begin cranking with the hand crank mechanism or turn on the electric
motor. As the canister turns, stir and mix the salt and ice together. Use
the plastic stirrer every 10-15 minutes, or as needed while the ice cream
maker is in use.
