Put the ice cream or sorbet mix into the freezer bowl through the two holes in the lid.
NOTE : When pouring mixture into the bowl, the maximum volume should not exceed 200mL as the mixture will increase in volume during freezing. -
Allow the mixture to churn until frozen or the desired consistency is reached. This will take up to 30 minutes, most recipes will be ready in less time.
-
Switch off the appliance, remove the lid with power unit. The ice cream is ready to serve.
-
The ice cream should be in a soft spoon able state. It can also be transferred to a separate container for storage in the freezer if you wish to firm the ice cream before eating.
IMPORTANT!
- Do not stop and start the appliance during process, as the mixture may freeze in contact with the bowl and prevent the movement of the paddle.
- To avoid overheating the motor, the direction of rotation will change if the mixture becomes too thick. If the direction of rotation continues to change, stop the machine.
- In the unlikely event of the motor overheating, a safety cut out will operate causing the motor to stop. If this happens, switch off and unplug the appliance, allow the power unit to cool down for 5 min
