BEFORE FIRST USE
Thoroughly clean and sanitize all parts that will come into contact with ice
cream, including the batch bowl, mixing paddle and lid.
See Sanitizing instructions.
Warning: Be sure the power cord is unplugged during this process.
Important: Always place the Ice Cream Maker upright on a flat and level
surface for 24 hours prior to use to ensure the compressor provides optimum
performance.
GENERAL OPERATION
When the Ice Cream, Sorbet, or Gelato is ready and has reached ideal
consistency for dispensing from the batch bowl the mixing paddle will stop to
avoid over-churning but it will continue to chill for the duration of the
timer setting chosen.
Plugin the unit. The LCD will flash 60:00. The unit is now in standby mode.
Touch POWER. The LCD will show 3 programming mode choices. When you touch
MENU, you can select the mode you prefer: ICE CREAM, COOLING ONLY or MIXING
ONLY. Once you’ve made your selection, the default processing time for that
mode will display, along with the appropriate icon for mixing and/or cooling.
At this point and during processing, you can adjust your processing time by
touching TIME+ or TIME.
When processing is complete, 00:00 will appear in the display and 3 audible
alerts will beep.
The unit will enter the COOL mode if no control has been touched within 10
minutes following the completion of processing. This ensures the product in
the removable bowl stays cool. In the COOL mode, all touchpad controls except
POWER will become inactive. After an additional 10 minutes, if no other
function has been selected, the unit will go into standby mode (LCD displays
00).
For optimum consistency, chill all mixtures for a minimum of 2 hours, or up to
3 days. Always re-whisk the mixture after chilling to be sure all ingredients
are well combined. While chilling the mixture is not required, this step will
prevent any “ice” or “fat” crystals from forming during the freezing process
for resting it in a chilled environment helps bind the ingredients together.
If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer to an airtight container and
place in the freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes
before serving.
Motor Protection Function
To help protect the machine’s motor from overheating or damage, the unit will
stop mixing when the motor temperature reaches about 115°C/239°F. The unit
will automatically reset itself once the motor temperature drops below
115°C/239°F. You are not required to unplug or turn off the machine.
COMPRESSOR PROTECTION FUNCTION
If the Cooling mode is paused or turned off, there will be a 3-minute delay
for the compressor to turn back on and begin cooling again. The cooling icon
will still be displayed but no cooling will be taking place. This delay
protects the compressor from damage and ensures optimum performance..
Controlling the Volume of the Ingredients To avoid overflow and waste, keep
ingredients about ¼” under the top of the mixing paddle. Ice cream expands to
different degrees depending on the recipe as it’s processed.
The Differences Among the Three Working Modes
- ICE CREAM MODE: The default working time is 60 minutes. In this mode, ice cream, sorbet, and frozen yogurt are processed via mixing and cooling.
- COOLING ONLY MODE: The default working time is 30 minutes. In this mode, the unit keeps the contents cold, with intermittent mixing. (2-3 times per minute)
- MIXING ONLY MODE: The default working time is 10 minutes. This mode is used to mix ingredients, with no cooling.
MAKING ICE CREAM
Step 1. Prepare ingredients using your favorite recipe.
NOTE: You do not need to freeze the removable bowl in advance. This
machine has a BUILT-IN COMPRESSOR that freezes the ingredients for you.
Step 2. Place the batch bowl into the freezing chamber, and press down
firmly.
Step 3. Place the mixing paddle into the batch bowl, being sure to engage
the bottom hole in the mixing paddle with the motor axis.
Step 4. Pour the ingredients into the batch bowl. Keep ingredients about
¼” under the top of the mixing paddle. Place the lid onto the machine and turn
it counterclockwise to lock it into place.
Step 5. Touch POWER to turn the unit on.
Step 6. Touch MENU to choose the desired mode.
Step 7. Touch TIME+ or TIME to set the processing time.
Step 8. Touch START/PAUSE to start processing.
Step 9. When processing is complete, an alert will beep. Turn off the
machine by touching POWER, remove the lid, then lift out the batch bowl.
Step 10. Remove the mixing paddle and use a plastic scoop or wooden spoon
to remove the finished ice cream and place it in another container for
storage. Do not use a metal scoop, which could scratch the inside of the batch
bowl.
Step 11. If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer to an airtight
container and place in the freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from freezer
about 15 minutes before serving.
CLEANING AND SANITIZING
CAUTION: THE POWER CORD MUST BE UNPLUGGED BEFORE PROCEEDING TO AVOID
ELECTRIC SHOCK.
TO CLEAN AND SANITIZE BATCH BOWL, PADDLE, AND LID The batch bowl, mixing
paddle, and lid must be cleaned and sanitized before initial use and after
each use unless the unit is going to be used again within one hour. Failure to
do so may allow residue of processed material to collect on the internal seals
of the drive assembly, rendering them ineffective.
NOTE: In repetitive batch-processing applications, cleaning the batch
bowl between batches will prolong the life of the drive assembly. WASH Use
only low-foaming powdered detergents formulated for cleaning dishware and
cooking utensils. These products can be purchased from the restaurant and
commercial foodservice suppliers. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s
instructions.
- Remove lid, batch bowl, and paddle from the unit.
- Hand-wash the batch bowl with detergent. Do not put the batch bowl in the dishwasher.
- The lid and mixing paddle can be washed by hand or in a commercial dishwasher. Use the brush to clean inside the bottom hole of the mixing paddle before placing in the dishwasher.
- Pre-clean stubborn food deposits with brush and presoak in the detergent solution if necessary. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
RINSE
Use only water to rinse.
SANITIZE
Use regular, unscented bleach diluted with water between 50°F and 120ºF. The
sanitizing dilutions are based on the hypochlorite concentration of the
bleach. The dilutes for 2 commonly available bleach concentrations are:
· Hypochlorite: 5.25%3 teaspoons bleach per gallon of water
· Hypochlorite 8.25%2 teaspoons bleach per gallon of water
- Wet a soft cloth or sponge with a bleach dilution listed above.
- Wipe down interior and exterior of lid, batch bowl and mixing paddle.
- Place the batch bowl into the freezing chamber, install the paddle and fill with the sanitizing solution above the mixing paddle. Cover with lid (to prevent splashing) and run on MIXING ONLY for 2 minutes. Empty batch bowl.
- Immerse lid in sanitizing solution and soak for 2 minutes.
AIR-DRY
Do not rinse after sanitizing is completed. Drain the sanitizing solution and
allow parts to air-dry.
TO CLEAN AND SANITIZE HOUSING BASE AND FREEZING CHAMBER
The housing and freezing chamber must be cleaned and sanitized before first
use, and whenever the unit has come into contact with food. Remove the vent
cover on the rear of the unit.
-
To clean: Wipe down exterior housing and freezing chamber with a wet cloth. Remove and clean under the vent cover if necessary.
-
To sanitize; Wipe the entire exterior housing and freezing chamber with a soft cloth or sponge that has been dampened with sanitizing solution* and wrung out to avoid any excess solution running into housing vents in the base.
DO NOT IMMERSE HOUSING IN WASHING SOLUTION, RINSE WATER, OR SANITIZE SOLUTION. -
Allow air-drying.
-
Reinstall the vent cover on the rear of the unit.
*Use only sanitizing solutions recommended above.
