SHORT CORD PURPOSE

Note : A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Longer power-supply cords or extension cords 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 product; (2) the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets. 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 product; (2) the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.

POLARIZED PLUG

If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), please follow the below instructions: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.

If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

PARTS IDENTIFICATION

• Electric Motor Head
• ON/OFF Switch (I/O)
• Connecting Axis
• Lid
• Mixing Paddle
• Freezer Bowl

BEFORE FIRST USE
Clean the Transparent Cover (not the Electric Motor Head), Paddle, Freeze Bowl with warm soapy water before you use for the first time. See “CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE”.

HOW TO USE

To prepare:

• It is recommended to chill the whole Freezer Bowl in a freezer set to 0˚F/-18˚C for at least 24 hours before using your ELECTRIC ICE CREAM MAKER.
• Find a stable surface near an electrical outlet. Make sure cord is away from any water source.
• Select your favorite recipe and prepare the recipe per instructions. Place recipe mixture in refrigerator until ready to use.

Assembly

• Always ensure that the unit is unplugged prior to assembly. Fit the Electric Motor onto the Lid. The motor will click into place when secure.
• Align the Connecting Axis with the Mixing Paddle, then fit the Paddle assembly into the hole on the bottom of the Motor.
• Position the Electric Motor/Lid/Mixing Paddle assembly over and onto the Freezer Bowl. Turn the assembly clockwise to lock into position.
• You can now operate your ice cream maker by using the On/Off power switch.
• Remove the Freezer Bowl from the freezer.
• Retrieve ice cream or sorbet recipe mixture from the refrigerator.
• Attach the Electric Motor/Lid/Mixing Paddle assembly according to Assembly Instructions.
• Turn the Electric Motor to the “ON” position and the Mixing Paddle will begin to churn.
• Pour mixture into the Freezer Bowl through the Lid Opening. When pouring mixture, always stop at least 1.5 inches (4 cm) from the top, as the mixture will expand in volume during the freezing process.
• Allow the mixture to churn until frozen or desired consistency is reached. This can take up to 15 to 30 minutes, but some recipes may be ready in less time.
• Once ice cream has reached desired consistency, turn the Electric Motor to the “OFF” position, and unplug the Electric Motor.
• Turn the Electric Motor/Lid/Mixing Paddle assembly clockwise to remove it from the Freezer Bowl. Remove the Mixing Paddle and scrape off any excess ice cream with a spatula.
• Transfer ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze, or serve straight from the Freezer Bowl

HELPFUL HINTS

TEXTURE
To ensure that ice crystals do not form in ice cream mixture, DO NOT stop the churning process until the ice cream is ready. Recipes with high amount of salt can cause the mixture to freeze too quickly, which can also cause ice crystals to form in the ice cream.

SWEETNESS
Homemade ice cream will usually have a less sweetened flavor than the initial recipe mixture. It is recommended to adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe to suit your preference. Artificial sweeteners may be used in place of sugar. Use the following measurements for reference:

• 1 packet of sweetener = 2 tsp. of sugar
• 6 packets of sweetener = ¼ cup of sugar
• 8 packets of sweetener = ¹/3 cup of sugar
• 12 packets of sweetener = ½ cup of sugar

CONSISTENCY

• Homemade ice cream generally has a thick, milkshake texture. If you prefer a thicker or more firm consistency, try one of the following:
• Place ice cream mixture in freezer to harden.
• Recipes that call for alcohol may inhibit the freezing process. Be sure to add any alcohol during the last few minutes of the freezing cycle.

JAMMING
If the Mixing Paddle gets jammed and does not revolve properly, try the following:

• Check to make sure that the Mixing Paddle is properly attached to the Connecting Axis, that the cord is plugged into an outlet, and that the unit is flipped to the “ON” position.
• Ice Cream recipes that include hard ingredients like nuts or chocolate chips may cause the Mixing Paddle to become lodged in the Freezer Bowl. It is best to add hard ingredients during the last few minutes of the churning process.
• DO NOT stop the churning process until the ice cream is finished. Stopping in the middle of the process can cause the ice cream to harden and restrict the movement of the Mixing Paddle.

FREEZING

• DO NOT operate the unit longer than required. If the mixture has not yet achieved the slush consistency or has thawed again after 30 minutes, do not continue. Possible reasons for the mixture not chilling or freezing:
• The Freezer Bowl was not cold enough.
• The mixture was too warm. Make sure that the ingredients that you add are chilled and not warm, lukewarm, or at room temperature before adding to the Freezer Bowl.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

• Make sure the Electric Motor is turned off and the unit is unplugged.
• Remove the Electric Motor/Lid/Mixing Paddle by turning clockwise and lifting from the Freezer Bowl.

NOTE: The Electric Motor separates from the Lid for cleaning.

• Remove the Mixing Paddle and Connecting Axis, and scrape off any excess ice cream.
• Wash the Freezer Bowl, Mixing Paddle, Connecting Axis and Lid using warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
• DO NOT replace the Lid with an Electric Motor until the Freezer Bowl is completely dry.
• Wipe the Electric Motor with a soft cloth moistened with mild soap, then dry thoroughly.
• NEVER immerse an Electric Motor in water or other liquid.
• DO NOT use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
• DO NOT use an abrasive sponge, cloth or scouring pad on the unit.
• DO NOT freeze the Freezer Bowl when it is wet.
• ONLY wash the unit by hand. DO NOT place parts in the dishwasher.
