SAFETY FEATURE
The appliance is equipped with a safety feature that automatically stops the unit if the motor overheats.
Overheating may occur if the dessert is extremely thick in consistency, if the unit has been running for a
long period of time, or if the added ingredients are too large. To reset the unit, turn the ON/OFF switch to the
OFF position. Let the unit cool off. After a few minutes, you may turn the unit on again and continue making
your dessert or drink.
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
DO NOT
immerse the motor base in water. Wipe it with a moist cloth. Wash the lid, freezer bowl and mixing
attachment in warm soapy water to remove any dust or residue from the manufacturing and shipping process.
DO NOT
clean any parts with abrasive cleaners or hard implements.
FREEZING TIME AND BOWL PREPARATION
The freezer bowl must be completely frozen before you begin. The length of time needed to reach the frozen
state depends on how cold your freezer is. For convenient frozen desserts and drinks, leave your freezer
bowl in the freezer at all times on a flat surface in an upright position. You can take it out at any time for
immediate use. We recommend a minimum of 16 hours freezing time. To determine whether the bowl is
completely frozen, shake it. If you do not hear liquid moving, the cooling liquid is frozen. Before freezing,
wash and dry the bowl. Wrap it in a plastic bag to prevent freezer burn. We recommend placing the freezer
bowl in an upright position at the back of your freezer where it is coldest.
Reminder:
Your freezer should be set to 0°F (-18°C) to ensure proper freezing of all foods.

MAKING FROZEN DESSERTS OR DRINKS
Follow recipes that yields 2 quarts or less. The ingredients will increase in volume during the freezing
process. For best results, prepare ingredients in a container from which it is easy to pour.
Remove the freezer bowl from the freezer and place freezer bowl on the center of the base.
Note:
Bowl will begin to defrost quickly once it has been removed from freezer. Use it immediately after
removing from freezer.
Place mixing attachment in freezer bowl. This attachment does not fit tightly. It rests in the center of the
bowl, with the circle side facing up.
Place lid on base.
Turn the On/Off switch to ON position. Freezer bowl will begin to turn.
Immediately pour ingredients through ingredient spout.
Frozen desserts or drinks will be done in 25 to 35 minutes depending on the recipe. When the mixture has
thickened to your liking, it is done. If you desire a firmer consistency, transfer the dessert or drink to an
airtight container and store in the freezer for two or more hours.
Do not operate the appliance longer than required. If after 40 minutes, the mixture is not yet solid, or has
thawed again, do not continue. Possible reasons for mixture not freezing:
•
freezer bowl was not cold enough
•
proportion of ingredients was incorrect
•
mixture was too warm
•
freezer not cold enough- reset to coldest setting
ADDING INGREDIENTS
Ingredients such as chips and nuts should be added about 5 minutes before the recipe is complete. Once
the dessert or drink has begun to thicken, add the ingredients through the ingredient spout. Nuts and other
ingredients should be no larger than a chocolate chip.
HELPFUL HINTS
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 increase in volume.
Uncooked recipes will yield best results when an electric mixer is used to mix the eggs and sugar. This
helps increase volume in the ice cream mixture.
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 affect the flavor and texture. The higher the 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-and-half (10%). Any
combination can be used, but make sure the liquid measurement remains the same.
Lighter ice creams can be made by using more milk than cream, but there will be a noticeable difference
in texture and taste.
The ice cream mixture will stay fresh in the refrigerator for several days. Be sure to shake well before
adding to the canister.
When pouring mixture into the canister, follow recipes that yield 2 quarts or less because the mixture will
increase in volume during the freezing process.
Alcohol inhibits the freezing process. To add alcohol to a recipe, add when the mixture is semi-stiff.
The flavor of a sorbet will depend greatly on the ripeness and sweetness of the fruit and/or juice. If fruit
is too tart, add sugar; if fruit is very ripe, decrease or omit the sugar. Freezing decreases sweetness, so
the recipe will not be quite as sweet when frozen.
Artificial sweeteners can be used as a substitute for sugar.
NOTE:
Heat affects the sweetness of artificial sweeteners. Only add artificial sweeteners to mixtures that
are cold or have been completely cooled. When a recipe calls for heating liquid to dilute sugar, omit the
heating process and simply stir in the sweetener until it is well dissolved.
•
1 packet of sweetener = 2 teaspoons (10 ml) sugar
•
6 packets = ¼ cup (60 ml)
•
8 packets = ¹⁄³ cup (75 ml)
•
12 packets = ½ (125 ml)
