OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
8. Allow unit to run for approximately 20-
30 minutes or until the mixture has
thickened depending on volume and
ingredients.
Do not turn the unit "Off" during use
as the mixture may freeze and may
damage the ice cream spoons or
prevent the ice cream spoons from
turning.
HINT: If using fruits or chocolate chips
etc., add these in the last few minutes of
ice cream cycle.

HELPFUL HINTS

• Some recipes require pre-cooked
ingredients. For best results, the
mixture should be chilled overnight
before using. Chilling over an ice bath
is another solution to cool ingredients
more rapidly.
• To make an ice bath, fill a large
container with ice cubes and water.
Place container with mixture to be
used into the ice bath. Cool
precooked ingredients completely.
• Prior to freezing, most recipes can be
stored in the refrigerator for up to 3
days if well covered. Stir ingredients
well before using.
• Do not use frozen ingredients directly
in the ice cream maker, thaw frozen
ingredients first, as frozen food could
damage ice cream spoons.
• Uncooked recipes will give you the
best results when an electric mixer is
used to cream the eggs and sugar.
This helps increase the volume in the
ice cream mixture.
• Most ice cream recipes are a
combination of cream, milk, eggs and
sugar. You may use any type of
cream that you prefer, but the type of
cream that you do use will affect the
flavor and texture of the ice cream
that you are making. The higher
percentage of fat in the cream, the
richer the ice cream and the softer the
texture.
i.e. Heavy cream has 35% fat,
whipping cream has 30% fat, coffee or
light cream has 18% fat, and half &
half has 10% fat. Any combination
may be used but the total liquid
measurement must remain the same.
• Always start with liquid ice cream
mixtures when preparation starts.
Do not use stiff mixtures such as
whipped cream or frozen liquids.
• Artificial sweeteners can be
substituted for sugar. Please note
though that heat affects the
sweetness of the artificial
sweetener. We recommend that
you use artificial sweeteners to
mixtures that are cold or that have
been completely cooled. When a
recipe calls for you to heat the liquid
ingredients so that the sugar may
dissolve, omit the heating process
and simply stir in the artificial
sweetener until it is thoroughly
dissolved.
• With recipes that involve alcohol,
the alcohol should be added in the
last 10 (ten) minutes of the freezing
process as alcohol could slow
down the freezing process.
• For sorbet, test the ripeness and
sweetness of the fruit before you
use it. Freezing process will make
fruit less sweet. If the fruit is tart
add sugar to the recipe.
• Do not operate the unit longer
than required. If after 40 minutes
the mixture is not yet solid or has
thawed again, do not continue.
Possible reasons for mixture not
freezing:
- The freezer canister was
not cold enough;
- The mixture was too warm,
the proportion of the
ingredients was not correct.
• Do not store prepared ice cream
in the freezer canister for more
than a few days.
Disposal of Unit
The gel in the freezer canister contains
no toxic materials. You may dispose of
them as normal household waste.
