If using your own recipes, adapt the volume
of mixture to this amount.
n
To assemble the ice cream maker, slide
the motor unit onto the lid until it locks in
place (figure 3).
Remove freezing cylinder (a) from freezer.
H
Insert paddle into cylinder (figure 4).
n
Insert the tabs on the lid into the slots of
the freezing cylinder, then lock rear of lid
onto container (figure 5).
You will hear another “clack”. Make sure
that motor and paddle are connected
correctly.
W
Insert plug into outlet, then turn the unit
on immediately (figure 6).
This will prevent the paddle from freezing
on the cylinder.
H
Pour the prepared ice cream mixture
through the feeder hole into cylinder
(figure 7).
NOTE: It is extremely important that the
cylinder be used immediately after it is
removed from the freezer, as it begins to
thaw once removed. Make sure that the ice
cream mixture is ready first.
Leave the machine on for approximately
20-40
minutes, or until the mixture reaches
the desired consistency. Do not turn the
appliance off during use, as the mixture
may freeze and prevent the movement of
the paddle.
To add ingredients after the freezing
process has begun, gently add them
through the feeder hole
(d).
To avoid overheating of the motor, the
direction of rotation will change if the
mixture becomes too thick. If the direction
of rotation continues to change, the mixture
is completely prepared; turn off appliance
immediately.

To remove lid, press the release button on
the rear of the motor unit, and lift lid from
cylinder (figure 1).
Remove paddle from ice cream. Only use
rubber, plastic or wooden utensils to serve
from the cylinder bowl. Metal spoons may
damage the surface of the bowl.
To further harden the ice cream, you may
put the cylinder with the ice cream into the
10
freezer for a short period of time (no more
than 30 minutes). Long term freezing,
however, should be done in an airtight
container.
Cleaning
The lid and paddle can be washed in the
dishwasher (top rack only). The freezing
cylinder should be cleaned in warm water
and mild detergent, then dried thoroughly.
Never replace cylinder in freezer if it is still
wet. Do not use sharp utensils, scouring
pads, or abrasive detergents when cleaning
freezing cylinder.
The motor unit can be cleaned by using a
damp cloth. Never immerse motor unit in
water.
Helpful hints
W
Some recipes require the mixture to be
pre-cooked. Make the recipe at least one
day ahead. This will allow the mixture to
cool completely and volumize.
Pre-chilling the base mixture is strongly
recommended. Never try to shortcut.
W
Uncooked recipes will yield best results
when an electric mixer is used to beat
eggs and sugar. This helps volumize the
mixture.
W
Most ice cream recipes are a combination
of cream, milk, eggs and sugar. You can
use any type of cream You like, but the
type of cream you use will have a big
impact on the rich flavor and creamy
texture. The higher percentage of fat, the
richer the ice cream and the softer the
texture. For example, heavy cream has at
least 36% fat, followed by: whipping
cream (30%). coffee or light cream (18%)
and half & half (10%). Any combination
can be used, but make sure the liquid
measurement remains the same. For
example, lighter ice creams can be made
by using more milk than cream, or by
eliminating cream altogether.
Skim milk will work, but there will be a
noticeable difference in texture.
