Note: Please note that the parts are not dishwasher safe.

INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE

• WARNING: Do not store or install the appliance outdoors.
• CAUTION: This appliance is designed for making ice cream desserts.
• Place your appliance on a hard and level surface that is strong enough to support it when ingredients are added.
• Allowance of at least 5 inches (127mm) of space around the appliance is suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.
• Do not install the appliance near an oven or other heating source.
• Plug in the appliance into an exclusive, grounded wall power outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a qualified electrician or an authorized service center.

FREESTANDING INSTALLATION

A freestanding installation will allow you to install the ice cream maker in any place you desire provided that the required clearance space around the appliance is respected. In every setting, there must be an adequate ventila- tion and access for service. Never install or operate the unit in an enclosed area. Allowance of at least 5 inches (127mm) of space around the appliance is suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compres-sor and condenser.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING: Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or contact Whynter Service Department.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury. The appli-ance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevent overloading house wiring cir-cuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Al-ways grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.

EXTENSION CORD

Because of potential safety hazards, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rat-ing of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

  • NOTE: The time it takes to make a batch of ice cream varies and depends on the amount and temperature of the ingredients used. For quicker results, use less ingredients and/or refrigerated ingredients..

STORAGE

Remove the yogurt mixture or finished ice cream into a clean and dry container using the plastic scoop. Do not use metal scoop as it can scratch the removable mixing bowl.

Fruit based ice creams, sorbets and sherbets are only truly luscious when they still have the just picked flavor that time so rapidly destroys. That is why no commercial fruit ice, sherbets or ice cream can ever be as good as freshly home-made. For fruit ices, sherbets or ice creams to have a long freezer life, the fruits must be cooked, thereby destroying their freshness. If your creations are consumed in a short time frame, you can use uncooked fruit purees for a much better flavor.

Ice Cream Recipes

Ice cream mixtures can be as simple as pureed fruit, sugar and cream, Philadelphia-style, or based on more complicated cooked custards, French style. Both are delicious, though French versions are slightly richer. The recipes which follow are for both kinds. All use rich, heavy cream. If you prefer a lighter, lower-calorie mixture, substitute milk (whole or skim) or even yogurt for the cream in any of these recipe. Always sample the mixtures before freezing and adjust to your own taste.

Use these simple recipes as an inspiration for your own favorite ice creams. If you like a little crunch, add a cup of chopped nuts, chocolate chips or candy to a quart of mixture either before or after freezing, depending on whether you want the crunch to be frozen, too. You can also add chopped fruit, fresh or dried, shredded coconut, even marshmallows. It’s better to add these soft things at the end so they do not get icy.

Yogurt Recipes

For your first few batches, we recommend treating yourself to whole milk, because it produces a naturally thick final product. However, yogurt can be made with skim or low-fat milk—it just will probably be a bit thinner than store-bought varieties, which often contain thickeners.

Basic Yogurt

4 cups = 1 quart Ingredients:

4 cups whole or low-fat milk

1/2 cup non-pasteurized whole milk or low-fat plain yogurt containing active yogurt cultures, at room tempera- ture or powdered yogurt starter (amount specified on package)

Directions:

1.  In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the milk to a boil. Immediately remove the pan from the heat.

2.  Place the end of an instant-read thermometer in the pan of milk. When the milk has cooled to lukewarm (110°F), in a bowl, combine about 1 cup of the milk and the yogurt and stir until smooth. Then, stirring constant- ly, slowly pour the mixture back into the pan of warm milk.

Note: To speed the cooling process, place the pan in the prepared ice bath and stir the milk occasionally. If the milk temperature drops too low, return it to heat.

3.  Pour the milk-yogurt mixture into the yogurt maker and process overnight (8-10 hrs.) according to the manu- facturer’s instructions. Serve warm the next morning, or cover and refrigerate before serving. Store the yogurt, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reserve some of the homemade yogurt to begin making your next batch, if desired.

Note: As yogurt ages, it becomes more tart. If more whey separates out of the yogurt, just stir before serving.

Optional: Stir any flavorings such as jam, honey, dulce de leche, molasses, fresh or dried fruit, garlic, herbs, etc. into the yogurt just before serving.

For thicker, Greek-style yogurt, after incubation, spoon the yogurt into a cheesecloth-lined colander set over a bowl and let it drain, covered in the refrigerator, for at least 1 hour or overnight. Discard the whey that drains out of the yogurt or reserve it for another use.

Makes about 4 cups.
