FOOD PREPARATION

• Always – Use bananas that are “cheetah spotted” before freezing. Cheetah spots are a sign that the banana is over-ripe, and the more brown spots, the sweeter the banana. Cheetah spotted bananas make the best Yonanas!
• Always – Peel over-ripe bananas before freezing.
• Always – Freeze peeled over-ripe bananas and other frozen fruits for at least 24 hours before using the Yonanas maker.
• Always – Make sure the chute is locked in place in the 12 o’clock position on the base.

For best results, Yonanas should have the consistency of soft serve ice cream. Each fruit and each freezer is different, but typically your fruit and other frozen ingredients should slightly thaw for 7-10 minutes prior to making Yonanas. You’ll quickly find the right thawing time for every fruit.
Try Yonanas with Frozen Fruits:
Grocery stores supply an assortment of frozen fruit packages featuring blackberries, blueberries, dark cherries, mangoes, pineapples, peaches, strawberries and raspberries. For especially tasty Yonanas try frozen fruit combinations including Mixed Berries, Fruit Medley and the Tropical Fruit mix. Pieces of frozen chocolate may be added. When using berries or other frozen fruit, alternate between banana halves and additional contents to ensure an even mixture.
Note: Do not use Frozen Water/Ice Cubes. Ensure all pits are removed from fruit.
Get Into the YoZone… Pick the right banana and thaw it perfectly!
Why cheetah spotted bananas? Cheetah spots are a sign that a banana is over- ripe, and the more brown spots, the sweeter the banana. Cheetah spotted bananas make the best Yonanas.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The Yonanas maker stops during use and will not turn back on.
The most likely reason this is happening is that the safety feature has kicked in. The machine won’t work unless the chute assembly is locked in at the 12 o’clock position. To do this, rotate the chute assembly counter-clockwise until chute clicks into the locked position. The interlock mechanism in the base  prevents motor from turning on when chute is in not in place.
The Yonanas maker will not turn on.
Check to see if the unit is plugged in and/or the outlet is working. If the machine still doesn’t start, confirm that the chute assembly is locked in at the 12 o’clock position.The Yonanas maker emits a burning smell. There might be some residue on the motor from the manufacturing process during the product’s first uses. If odor continues and/or smoke appears, turn off and unplug IMMEDIATELY.
Nothing comes out of the machine when you put a banana in it.
Make sure to use 2 frozen bananas to push through the machine. If using fruit, use one frozen banana then frozen fruit, alternating and finish with a frozen banana. A quick stir in the bowl will insure that all the ingredients are mixed together.
