USING THE PERSONAL ICE CREAM MAKER FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. Unpack the Personal Ice Cream Maker, remove all the packaging materials.

2. Before first use, wipe the motor with a clean damp cloth, dry.

5. Place the cooling bowl inside the cooling container, place the lid and paddle on top and push down to close.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

BEFORE USE
The cooling bowl is most effective in the first 20 minutes of use and needs to be placed in the freezer for 8-12 hours before being used. The cooling bowl is small enough to store alone in your freezer ready to use whenever you want ice cream, store in upright position.
Choose a recipe and prepare your mixture and let it cool, chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
Warm or room temperature ingredients will prolong the preparation time.
The Electric mode involves turning on the appliance using the On/off switch on the motor lid. The Manual mode can be used without the motor lid and simply requires you to mix your ice cream with the spoon.

MAKING ICE CREAM IN ELECTRIC MODE

1. Attach the paddle to the motor lid and plugin at the wall socket, ensuring that the appliance is switched off.

2. Take the cooling bowl from the freezer and place it inside the cooling container. Then place on a flat level surface.
   WARNING: Use a dry towel to hold the cooling bowl. Direct contact with the frozen bowl may make your hands stick to the cooling bowl. If this happens, hold your hands under warm running water for a few moments. Never touch with wet hands.
   Note: The Personal Ice Cream Maker must be switched on with the paddle turning before lowering the paddle into the mixture. This stops the mixture from immediately freezing against the inside wall of the container.
   DO NOT pour too much mixture into the bowl. Use no more than 240ml of the mixture to allow it room to expand. When the appliance is churning, do not attempt to move it and never put your hands or any utensils inside.
   

3. Slowly pour your chilled ice cream mixture into the cooling bowl. Press the On/Off switch to On, the paddle will start to turn, gently lower the unit into the cooling bowl.
   Making sure the unit is sat correctly on the cooling bowl and container. Keep a hold of the appliance by the lid or handle whilst it churns.
   Lift the power unit up gently at regular intervals to check the consistency of the ice cream. Over churning may cause the motor to overheat. Should overheating start to occur switch off and unplug the appliance, and allow the motor to cool.
   Do not turn off the Personal Ice Cream Maker before the ice cream is ready. If it is switched off too early the ingredients may freeze against the inside wall of the cooling bowl.

4. When the mixture is to your desired consistency and risen to fill the cooling bowl, the ice cream is ready to serve.

5. When your ice cream is ready, turn off the Personal Ice Cream Maker at the On/off switch and at the socket and unplug.

6. Use a plastic or wooden spoon or spatula to scoop the ice cream from the bowl or enjoy in the container, by holding the handle and using the spoon. Metal spoons or spatulas can cause damage to the bowl. Serve the ice cream or transfer to a separate container and store in your freezer.

2. Slowly pour your chilled ice cream mixture into the cooling bowl.
3. Using the spoon, stir your ice cream mixture quickly, with the spoon coming into contact with the side of the cooling bowl. This will allow the ice cream to freeze faster continue until the ice cream is frozen and to your desired consistency.
4. Use a plastic or wooden spoon or spatula to scoop the ice cream from the bowl or enjoy in the container, by holding the handle and using the spoon. Metal spoons or spatulas can cause damage to the bowl. Serve the ice cream or transfer to a separate container and store it in your freezer.

A GUIDE TO INGREDIENTS

The beauty of homemade ices is that you can tailor the ingredients to your tastes and
dietary requirements, and use seasonal fruits to flavour. For some simple ideas to get you started, see ‘Recipes’.

• Ice cream or sorbet that contains raw or partially cooked eggs should not be given to young children, pregnant women, the elderly or people who are generally unwell.
• Using alcohol in mixtures slows down freezing so only use small amounts to add flavour and allow for extra freezing time.
• To help set quicker, chill the ingredients/mixture for 1-2 hours before making.
• Any ice cream or sorbet recipes will work in the machine, but do not add more than 240ml of the mixture to the bowl at one time, to allow it to expand as it freezes.
• Make sure all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture has cooled before pouring your mixture into the Personal Ice Cream Maker.
•  For the fullest flavour, choose ripe fruits. Wash carefully, remove all seeds, skin and core, and chop into small pieces.

ADAPTING YOUR OWN RECIPES

After you have made some of the recipes supplied you may wish to adopt a few of your own recipes. Start by selecting one of the recipes in this booklet, which is similar to your own and use this as a guide.

HINTS AND TIPS

• Put the bowl in your freezer for 8-12 hours before use. Ideally, store the bowl in the freezer so it is ready to use whenever you want ice cream.
• Remove ice cream you have frozen from the freezer 5 minutes before serving, to allow it to soften.
• To prevent freezer burn, protect your hands when handling the cooling bowl, especially when first removing it from the freezer. Never touch with wet hands. Use oven gloves or put the bowl in a plastic bag before freezing.
• Use no more than 240ml of the mixture in the bowl to allow it room to expand.
• Use the Personal Ice Cream Maker in a cool room with chilled ingredients to speed up the ice cream making process.
• Never refreeze ice cream that has been fully or partially defrosted.
• Any ice cream or sorbet containing raw ingredients should be consumed within one week. Ice cream tastes best when fresh.
• The times indicated in these recipes are guidelines. The actual preparation time depends on the ingredients used, the temperature of the ingredients and the room temperature.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question: Why isn’t the paddle turning?
Answer: Either the appliance is not switched on, or there is a build-up of frozen ingredients at the bottom of the bowl. Check the power is on, then use a non-metallic spatula to free any mixture from the base of the bowl. To avoid this happening again, always turn the paddle on first before lowering the paddle into the bowl.
Question: Why won’t the mixture freeze?
Answer: Either the bowl is not frozen enough, or there is a high alcohol level in the mixture. Always freeze the bowl for 8-12 hours before using. Ideally, keep in the freezer when not in use. Alcohol prevents freezing, so only use small amounts in recipes.

CARE AND CLEANING

• Before the first use and after every use, clean each part thoroughly.
• Periodically check all parts before reassembly.
• Always switch off and unplug the Personal Ice Cream Maker from the wall socket before cleaning.

• Wipe the motor with a damp clean cloth, then dry thoroughly.
• CAUTION: Never immerse the power unit or power cord in water or any other liquids.
