This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into an AC electrical outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any other electrical outlet. DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY. A short power- supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used.

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and
2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug and try again. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

THIS PRODUCT IS NOT A TOY. IT IS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED BY CHILDREN. For your safety, always read and understand the
Use and Care Manual before attempting to use any electric appliance.

IMPORTANT

• During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight odor.
• This is normal and should quickly disappear. It will not recur after appliance has been used a few more times.

BEFORE USING:

1. Carefully unpack the ice cream maker. Remove all packaging materials, including those which may be inside the product.
2. Wipe exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust particles collected during packing and handling. Dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Wash the locking lid, ingredient spout lid, paddle and freezer bowl in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not wash in the dishwasher. NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE OR MOTOR, CORD OR PLUG IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID. TIP: Always dry the freezer bowl thoroughly to avoid condensation that will be difficult to remove when frozen.
3. Store the freezer bowl in a freezer in the upright level position for at least 24 hours before use. Keep the freezer bowl in the freezer until it is ready for use.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: The freezer bowl must be placed in a freezer for at least 8, and up to 15, hours before using. This allows the canister to freeze to the proper temperature to make ice cream, sorbet, sherbet, slushy drinks and more frozen treats.

1. Prepare your favorite ice cream mix and ingredients in a separate bowl and place in the refrigerator to chill before churning.
2. Place the ice cream maker base on the counter, out of direct sunlight.
3. Remove the freezer bowl from the freezer and place it on the center of the base. Align the gear on the bottom of the base with the indention on the bottom of the freezer bowl. (See A)
4. Insert paddle inside of the freezer bowl. It will fit loosely inside, resting in the center of the bowl with the circle end facing up. (See B for alignment of all parts)
5. Place the locking lid onto the base, and turn lid slightly clock-wise until it locks into place. The circle end of the paddle will fit snugly within the locking lid and will be held in place. (See C) Then fit ingredient spout lid on top of locking lid.
6. Press the power button to turn on ice cream maker. The freezer bowl will begin to rotate.
7. Immediately pour chilled ingredients into the ice cream maker through the ingredient spout opening. Do not fill bowl past one inch from top of freezer bowl. Place the ingredient spout lid back on after adding the ingredients. The volume will increase as the ice cream churns. Extra toppings can also be added through the ingredient spout opening just before the ice cream is finished churning. Extra ingredient pieces should be no larger than a chocolate chip.
8. Ice cream should be ready in approximately 25-35 minutes depending on the ingredients or recipe used.
9. When finished, press the power button to OFF and unplug from the wall outlet.
10. Slightly turn lid counter-clockwise and lift off base. Remove the freezer bowl from the base and place on the countertop to serve.
11. Serve and Enjoy!

NOTE

• The finished result is a soft spoonable ice cream. Homemade ice cream will not be the same consistency as hard, store-bought ice cream. For a firmer consistency, transfer the dessert or drink to an airtight container and store in the freezer for two or more hours
• Do not store ice cream or other frozen desserts in the freezer bowl, as ice cream will freeze to the sides of the freezer bowl and may cause damage. Only store ice cream/desserts in a plastic airtight container.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to repair it yourself. Any servicing that requires disassembly, other than cleaning, must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.

TO CLEAN

Be sure the ice cream maker is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning. Wipe exterior surfaces of the base with a soft, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Wash the locking lid, ingredient spout lid, paddle, and freezer bowl in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not wash in the dishwasher. NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE OR MOTOR, CORD OR PLUG IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.

TO STORE

Be sure all parts are clean and dry before storing. Store appliance in its box or in a clean, dry place. Never store it while it is hot. Never wrap cord tightly around the appliance; keep it loosely coiled. Do not put freezer bowl in freezer if the bowl is still wet. To avoid freezer burn, it is advised to wrap the freezer bowl in a plastic bag before freezing.

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

• Do not turn the ice cream maker off during the churning process, as the mixture could cause the paddle to stop rotating.
• If the ice cream machine overheats, there is a safety feature which will stop the unit. If this happens, press the power button to off, unplug and allow ice cream maker to cool before re-use. Overheating may occur if the dessert is too thick, if the ice cream maker has been running for an excessively long time, or if the added ingredients are in pieces that are too large.
• Use caster sugar as it will dissolve quickly. Artificial sweeteners may also be used as a substitute for sugar.
• Wait until the ice cream is almost ready before adding ingredients in small pieces such as nuts, chocolate pieces, cookie dough or alcohol.
• Some ice cream mixtures may require heating to mix prior to putting in the freezer bowl. If warm, the mixture should be cooled in the fridge for 2 hours before putting in the freezer bowl. Never process hot or warm mixtures.
• Chilling mixed ingredients (that were not heated up) for 30 minutes before putting them into the ice cream maker will reduce the amount of time it will take to freeze in the ice cream maker.
• You can adjust the flavor of your ice cream by how ripe the fruit or how sweet the juice is being used. Once frozen, the flavor will be less sweet than the mixture was before frozen.
• Foods such as cream, milk, sugar and eggs may be substituted with similar ingredients to suit your tastes and dietary needs.
• A variety of creams can be used to adjust the flavor and texture as well.
• For softer consistency, serve right after the mixture is complete. If a firmer consistency is desired, place in an air-tight container and place in the freezer for 2 hours.
• Mixture can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks in an air-tight container.
• The following basic recipes can be enhanced with a variety of different add-ins such as berries, nuts, chocolate chips, sprinkles, peanut butter, peppermint or almond extract, etc.
