METHOD OF OPERATION
Before using ensure that the voltage indicated under the motor unit corresponds with the
main voltage in your home.
FREEZING THE BOWL
Remove the motor/lid unit and paddle by releasing the motor/lid release switch (1) and turning
the motor/lid unit in an anti-clockwise direction. The releasing of the motor/lid switch will
unlock the motor/ lid unit.
Place the bowl in a
***
or
****
freezer (-18° C) for
a minimum of 8 hours
for Le Glacier
1,1 or 1,5 L. white, 12 hours for Le Glacier 1,5 L. chrome or preferably
overnight and only remove when your mixture is ready. As a final check, shake the bowl.
There should be no sound of freezing agent moving inside the bowl.
PREPARING THE ICE CREAM MIXTURE
Select your recipe and follow it to prepare the mixture,
adjusting the quantity to the size
of your machine (see page 6 for quantities). It is important not to overfill the bowl,
otherwise the mixture will not freeze properly.
Always chill your mixture in the fridge before attempting to freeze-churn. Most recipes
take 20-30 minutes of churning to produce a delicious soft ice cream.
ASSEMBLING THE ICE CREAM MAKER AND FREEZE-CHURNING
If disassembled, assemble the Le Glacier Ice Cream Maker as follows :
• Remove the bowl from the freezer
• Separate the clear lid/feed tube from the motor by pulling apart until the “ keyhole ” part of
the clear lid/feed tube is over the hole in which the spindle fits. Push the spindle into the
hole and slide the clear lid/feed tube back into position, ensuring that the non-keyhole part
and the lid fits between the top and bottom collars of the spindle.
• Fit the plastic paddle onto the spindle. The lid/motor unit is now ready to lock onto the bowl.
• Place the complete top unit onto the bowl and turn in a clockwise direction until resistance
is met. A this point the clips on the top of the unit should be engaged over the clips on the
bowl. Depress the motor/and lid release button to lock the top unit into position.
• Connect the plug to the electrical socket and switch on.
The paddle should be turning
before pouring in the mixture in order to prevent the mixture from freezing to the side
of the bowl.
• Once the paddle is turning, pour the chilled mixture through the feed tube of the clear lid
and freeze churn for between 20-30 minutes.
As the mixture thickens, the paddle
may
reverse, this is not unusual. When the desired
consistency is reached, switch off the motor (1).
The finished result is a soft spoonable Italian ice cream. This can be transferred to a separate
container for storage in the freezer, or if you wish to firm the ice cream further before eating.
• Having switched off the motor, the locking mechanism between the motor/lid and the bowl,
will be released. Turn the motor/lid unit in an anti-clockwise direction and lift off.
IMPORTANT
It is not advisable to use metal ustensils to take the ice cream out of the stainless steel bowl,
as this could cause scratching.
