IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, including the following:

1. IMPORTANT: Read all instructions carefully before first use.
2. To protect against the risk of electric shock, do not place the cord, plug, or base of the appliance in water or any other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4. Always unplug from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair, and clothing, as well as spatulas and other utensils, away during operation to reduce the risk of injury and/or damage to the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to Greenlife Customer Service for examination, repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments is not recommended and may cause fire, electric shock, or risk of injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Keep hands and utensils out of the Freezer Bowl while in use to reduce the risk of injury to persons or to the appliance itself. DO NOT USE SHARP OBJECTS OR UTENSILS INSIDE THE Freezer Bowl! Sharp objects will scratch and damage the inside of the Freezer Bowl. A rubber spatula or wooden spoon may be used when the appliance is in the OFF position.
11. This appliance is for household use. Any servicing other than cleaning and user maintenance should be done only by authorized personnel.
12. Do not use the Freezer Bowl on flames, hot plates or stoves. Do not expose to the heat source. Do not wash in the dishwasher; doing so may cause risk of fire, electric shock or injury.
13. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long, polarized extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or animals, or tripped over.

CAUTION

• Do not immerse base in water.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not disassemble the base. Note: The base does not contain any user-serviceable parts.
• Repairs should be made only by authorized personnel.
• Check voltage to be sure that the voltage indicated on the name plate agrees with your voltage.
• Never clean with scouring powders or hard implements.

BEFORE FIRST USE

USING YOUR SCOOP EXPRESS DO NOT immerse the Motor base in water. Wipe it with a moist cloth. Wash the lid, Freezer Bowl and mixing arm in warm soapy water to remove any dust or residue from the manufacturing and shipping process. DO NOT clean any of the parts with abrasive cleaners or hard implements.

THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. FREEZING TIME AND BOWL PREPARATION

The Freezer Bowl must be completely frozen before you begin your recipe. Before freezing, wash and dry the bowl. The length of time needed to reach the frozen state depends on how cold your freezer is. It is recommended that you place the Freezer Bowl in the back of your freezer where it is coldest. Be sure to place the Freezer Bowl on a flat surface in its upright position for even freezing. Generally, freezing time is between 16 and 24 hours. Shake the bowl to determine whether it is completely frozen. If you can hear liquid moving in the bowl, the bowl is not yet frozen. Return it to the freezer. For the most convenient frozen desserts, leave your Freezer Bowl in the freezer at all times. Use the bowl immediately after removing it from the freezer. It will begin to quickly defrost once it has been removed from the freezer. Reminder: Your freezer should be set to 0°F to ensure proper freezing of all foods.

ASSEMBLY

1. Place the Freezer Bowl through the circular Handle piece and insert it into the Housing.
2. Install the motor first. Insert the Motor Housing to the corresponding locking position on Lid, and lock them into place.
3. Insert the Mixing Paddle into the central hole on the Lid and lock both in place.
4. Insert the lid, with motor and mixing paddle into the freezer bowl and housing. Align and lock cover.
5. Insert the Mess-Free Chute into the top Lid.

OPERATION

1. The Freezer Bowl must be completely frozen before you begin your recipe.

2. Prepare recipe ingredients.

3. Remove the Freezer Bowl from the freezer.
   NOTE: The Bowl will begin to defrost quickly once it has been removed from the freezer. Use it immediately after removing it from the freezer.

4. Place the Freezer Bowl through the circular handle piece and insert it into the housing.

5. Connect the Motor housing to the corresponding locking position on the lid, and lock them into place.

6. Insert the Mixing Paddle into the central hole on the lid and lock both into place.

7. Insert the Mess-Free Chute into the lid.

8. Press the button once to turn on and begin the operation. Mixing Paddle will begin to turn.

9. POUR INGREDIENTS THROUGH THE MESS-FREE CHUTE. TO PREVENT THE POTENTIAL OF JAMMING, ADD ICE CREAM INGREDIENTS AFTER THE UNIT HAS BEEN TURNED ON AND THE MIXING CYCLE HAS STARTED.
   NOTE: Ingredients must be added to the Freezer Bowl after the unit is turned on.

10. Frozen desserts will be done in approximately 20 min or less. The time will depend on the recipe and volume of the dessert you are making. When your mixture has thickened completely, it is done. Usually, the paddle will stop turning at this point. If you desire a firmer consistency, transfer the dessert to an airtight container and store in the freezer for two or more hours.
    NOTE: Do not store frozen desserts in the Freezer Bowl. Desserts will stick to the sides of the Freezer Bowl and may damage the bowl. Transfer dessert from the Freezer Bowl and only store in a freezer-safe airtight container.

11. When ingredients become thick, it means the ice cream or frozen dessert is complete. 3-5 minutes before dessert is ready, you can add your dry ingredients; nuts, chips or fruit. Press the button again to stop the unit.

12. Unplug the unit. Remove the lid and the Mixing Paddle. Use a spoon or spatulato to remove the ice cream from the freezer bowl and transfer to a serving dish, or freezer-safe airtight container. Store in the freezer.

13. Remove the Freezer Bowl from the housing by the handles.

NOTE

1. The Freezer Bowl capacity is 1.5 Qt. When pouring ingredients through the ingredient chute, DO NOT fill the Freezer Bowl higher than ¼-inch from the top of the Freezer Bowl. The ingredients will increase in volume during the freezing process.
2. Maximum running time is 30 minutes.
3. Turn on the unit first. Do not pour ingredients through the ingredient chute into the Freezer Bowl until after the unit is on.
4. Add ingredients only after the Mixing Paddle has started.
5. The Greenlife Scoop Express Ice Cream and Frozen Dessert maker is equipped with a safety feature that will automatically stop the unit if the Motor overheats. This may occur if the dessert is extremely thick, if the unit has been running for an excessive period, or if added ingredients (nuts, etc.) are in extremely large pieces. To reset the unit, press the on button off, and unplug the unit. Let the unit cool off. After a few minutes, you may turn the unit on and begin making ice cream again.

TIPS & HINTS

ADDING INGREDIENTS
Ingredients such as chips and nuts should be added about 5 minutes before the recipe is complete. Once the dessert has begun to thicken, and all of your mixture is through the Mess-Free Chute, then nuts and other ingredients can be added. They should be no larger than a chocolate chip.

• Make sure all ingredients including mix-ins are well mixed before manually pressing on/off button to stop the unit. When the mixture is thick and has started to freeze, this indicates the frozen dessert should be ready.

• If you experience the mixing paddle moving back and forth with a slight noise, this indicates the frozen dessert is ready, and you can manually press the power button to stop unit. If you don’t manually stop the unit, it will turn off automatically after 30 minutes of working from start time.

• Make sure all parts are clean before making the frozen dessert.

• Use the ice cream within a few days before it loses its flavor. Keep it in the refrigerator at a temperature of 0˚F.

• Some types of frozen desserts are very soft after preparation in the Scoop Express. Put the dessert in the freezer for one or two hours to prevent it from melting immediately. This is especially advisable if the frozen dessert is to be served with a hot fudge or hot caramel sauce.

• Do not freeze your dessert again once it has melted.

• Always use high-quality, fresh ingredients.

• Add mix-ins, such as chocolate chips or chopped nuts, in the last 5 minutes or when the mixture is thick and has started to freeze.

• The finished result is a soft, spoon-able frozen dessert. Homemade ice cream will not be the same consistency as hard, store-bought ice cream.

• Keep the Freezer Bowl in the freezer so that you can make frozen desserts at any time.
  Note: The bowl must be empty when in the freezer.

• For best results, the Freezer Bowl must be frozen thoroughly. Make sure to set your freezer at the coldest setting (temperature should not be more than 0˚F), freeze for at least 24hrs.

• Firmness of frozen desserts depends on variables such as the recipe used, room temperature, and temperature of ingredients before churning.

• Some recipes require the mixture to be precooked. Make the recipe at least one day ahead. This will allow the mixture to cool completely and increase volume. The base mixture may not freeze if it is not thoroughly chilled.

• Do not remove the Freezer Bowl from the freezer until ready to use.

• Do not puncture or heat the Freezer bowl.

• When making more than one recipe at a time, be sure the Freezer Bowl is completely frozen before each use. Additional Freezer Bowls may be purchased on the Greenlife web site www.greenlife-cookware.com

• Make sure the Mixing Paddle and lid are in place before turning on the machine.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Always unplug the machine before cleaning.
2. Remove the Mixing Paddle and the lid from the housing.
3. Wipe the Motor housing with a damp cloth. Never immerse in water or rinse under running water.
4. Clean the Mixing Paddle and lid in warm soapy water and then dry thoroughly. The Mixing Paddle and lid can be rinsed on the top rack of the dishwasher.
