FEATURES AND OPERATION

Placement and Setup
For the best performance, the dessert maker should be placed on
a level surface, out of direct sunlight. Position the dessert maker so
the back and sides of the unit are at least 2-inches from any
adjacent wall; this permits the freezing system to work effectively.
For easier cleaning, the freezing cylinder vent on top of the
dessert maker should be accessible and clear of any
overhanging cabinets. To prevent debris from entering the
freezing cylinder, place the vent cap into the vent.
To provide a surface for the drip tray, position the front of the
dessert maker several inches from the edge of the countertop
or table.
Food-Safe Lubrication
From the factory, the O-rings on the funnel lid and dispensing
piston are lubricated with a food-safe gel. The gel will not affect
the flavor or quality of your desserts. Before use, excess gel can be
wiped from the funnel lid with a paper towel.
Before First Use of the Frozen Dessert Maker
Immediately before using the dessert maker for the first time – or
after any long period of non-use – rinse the freezing cylinder,
mixing blade, and dispenser assembly with clean, warm water.
1. Place the drip tray on the countertop underneath the
dispenser assembly.
2. Make sure the dispensing lever is in the closed (up) position –
when the lever is moved upward, you’ll feel it “snap” into the
fully closed position.
3. Remove the funnel lid. Pour about 1 quart of warm water into
the funnel. This will fill the freezing cylinder about halfway as
seen through the dispenser faceplate. Replace the funnel lid.
4. Turn on the mixing blade by rocking the Mix Switch upward.
After about 30 seconds, dispense the cleaning water into an
appropriate container by pulling the dispensing lever down.
5. Turn off the mixing blade by rocking the Mix Switch downward.
Move the dispensing lever to the closed (up) position.
6. The dessert maker is now ready for use. If no dessert is to be
prepared at this time, the dispenser assembly should be
removed and the freezing cylinder wiped dry. See “Remove
the Dispenser Assembly and Mixing Blade” on page 43 for
instructions.
