Tips for Best Results
• Make sure unit has been washed and THOROUGHLY dried—any
ice crystals may cause freeze sleeves to stick to base.
• Freeze base for at LEAST 8 to 12 hours.
• Base should sit level in freezer.
• Never place the freeze sleeves in the base in the freezer.
• Make sure freeze sleeves, funnels, and sticks are in place BEFORE
pouring liquid into the freeze sleeves.
• Thick ingredients such as pureed fruit, yogurt, and pudding can be
layered in the freeze sleeves before being placed in the base. Add
funnel and sticks to position in center of pops.
• Chilled, naturally sweetened liquids freeze BEST.
• Ice cream, pudding, or other “soft” ingredients may not freeze as
solid as liquids.
• Ensure the liquids and ingredients added to the freeze sleeves are
cold and/or refrigerated—this helps pops freeze better.
• Do not touch inside the freeze sleeve with bare fingers since they
may get stuck! If this happens, run fingers under warm water until
they release from the unit.
• Do not clean the unit with abrasive cleansers, scouring pads, or other
harsh chemicals.
• If making a second batch of pops, do not delay between batches but
IMMEDIATELY dry the outside of the sleeves and place in pop maker;
then pour in the liquid and insert the additional pop sticks. Note that
the second batch will take longer to freeze than the initial batch.
• If the freeze sleeves are completely stuck and will not release, do NOT
force them. Do not bang, drop, or hit the base. Defrost the base using
warm water. Wash, dry, refreeze, and then try again.
