RECIPES
Plan Ahead
• The Canister must be kept in the freezer for a minimum of 24 hours
before each use.
• The prepared recipe mixture must be cooled in a refrigerator or
before each use.
• Each recipe makes about 6-8 servings.
chilled in a freezer (as detailed in the recipe) before it is poured
. Plan this time into your preparation.
HELPFUL HINTS - Recipes:
• Specially formulated recipes are provided in the manual. Please
follow these recipes.
• Before pouring the mixture into the Canister, please ensure there
are no lumps.
•Do not use cream labelled "extra thick" or UHT creams or milk, as
the heat process alters their proteins and affects churning.
•Do not use typical hard ice cream recipes as it may damage the unit.
This includes any recipes that contain nuts, chocolate chips, fruit
pieces, or any other solid chunks.
•Most recipes require the mixture to be pre-cooked. For best
results, make the recipe at least one day ahead. This will allow the
mixture time to cool completely and provide the best results.
• Eggs may be substituted with egg substitutes.
•When using eggs in any recipes, heating or cooking the recipe
mixture is necessary.
• Ice cream should be stored in an air-tight container.
• The volume of soft serve ice cream will increase during the
freezing process. Do not fill the Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker all the
way to the top.
• The Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker has a 60 minute auto shut off
device and will automatically stop churning after this time.
• After each use you must wash and refreeze the Canister. If you
have purchased a second Canister allow a 4 hour period for the
motor to cool before using the Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker again.
• If the Soft Serve Ice Ceam Maker stops while churning, check that
no frozen lumps are jamming the rotating plastic blade - See
Troubleshooting on page 8.
NOTE: Please use the provided Cleaning Brush for hard to reach
areas, like the Canister Lid Tube.
HELPFUL HINTS - Cleaning:
• The cleaning brush included provides an excellent way to clean the
hard to reach places in your ice cream maker.
•Use a damp cloth to carefully wipe the outside of the Motor
Housing after each usage.
•To ensure a thorough cleaning, the Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker
should be completely disassembled prior to cleaning.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Ice cream did not hold shape:
•Was the Recipe made correctly?
•Were the proper ingredients used?
•Was the mixture chilled long enough?
•Was the Canister left in the freezer for a full 24 hours?
• Not all freezers are the same; some may require a longer freezing
time for the canister.
The Dasher is not turning / Unit stopped while dispensing:
• The mixture became too thick. Try dispensing sooner when using
that particular recipe.
• Check that no frozen lumps are jamming the rotating plastic blade.
• The motor over-heated – unplug the unit and let the unit cool down
for approximately 4 hours.
•Make sure the unit is attached to a power supply.
•Make sure the unit is properly assembled.
Ice Cream is leaking from unit:
•Make sure Rubber Sealing Ring is securely attached.
•Make sure there is no ice on the edge of the Canister underneath
Rubber Sealing Ring.
•Make sure all three Locking Latches on the Top Cover are secure.
