ICM6-ATW Ice Cream Maker Assembly & Instructions
I. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet if the electric motor is being used. Turn on the electric motor
by using the Power Switch or begin the cranking system for approximately 30-45 minutes.
J. As the ice begins to melt down by 2-3 inches, add more ice and more cups of rock salt into the bucket.
K. Allow the machine to churn for 30-45 minutes.
NOTE: When using the electric motor, the Blending Spatula does NOT spin. Only the
canister Spins. When using the Hand Crank, both the Blending Spatula and Canister
spin during the cranking process. This is normal and does not change the
effectiveness of using either method.
L. Once the churning is complete (the motor will automatically shut off when the contents inside become
too thick for the blending spatula), turn the power switch off, unplug and remove the motor or hand crank.
Clear the ice and salt away from the lid to prevent it from falling into the canister of ice cream.
M. Remove the cover and carefully lift out the Blending Spatula and scrape off any excess ice cream.
N. The ice cream consistency is very fresh, and may be a soft-serve texture.
NOTE: To get the ice cream
mixture to be more solid, use the hand crank when the electric motor has automatically shut off.
O.
If a harder consistency is desired, use the hand crank, or transfer the contents to a freezable container
and freeze for 3-4 hours or longer. It is recommended to store the ice cream inside the freezing canister.
HELPFUL TIPS
Making ice cream is fun and easy, but two things are important for making a successful batch -
temperature and rock salt. If the ice melts too quickly, the mixture isn't cold enough and it won't freeze. If
too much rock salt is added to the ice, the mixture can freeze too quickly around the inside edges of the
canister and leave the middle in liquid form. Follow the suggestions below to make a successful batch!
•
Make sure to use small, coarse ice pieces inside the bucket.
•
For recipes that require pre-cooking, it is recommended that the ingredients be prepped several hours
ahead as the mixture will need time to chill and expand.
•
Do not plug up the drainage hole on the side of the wooden bucket. This is for draining excess salt water
and should be kept open at all times.
WATER MAY LEAK FROM THE BUCKET. THIS IS NATURAL.
PLACE A TOWEL UNDERNEATH, OR USE THE ICE CREAM MAKER OUTDOORS.
•
As the canister is turning, periodically mix the salt and ice together by using the plastic stirrer every
10-15 minutes while the machine is in use.
•
If the ice cream consistency is too soft, put the contents into a freezable container and freeze for 3-4
hours. Or use the manual hand crank to crank the mixture to a thicker consistency.
•
If the electric motor stops churning before the ice cream is frozen, make sure there is no blockage of ice
jamming against the canister. If there is ice blocking the canister, turn the Power Switch off and remove the
jammed ice.
NOTE: The motor will automatically shut off if the mixture is too thick to blend. Turn the
Power Switch off. When the motor has cooled after a short period of time, it will operate normally.
