Controlling the Volume of the Ingredients

To avoid overflow and waste, please make sure that the ingredients do not exceed 60% of the capacity of the removable bowl, as ice cream expands when being formed.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

BEFORE USE:
The beauty of home-made 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’.

1. Choose a recipe, prepare your mixture and let it cool.
   Note: Chill the ingredients in the fridge before use. Warm ingredients or ingredients at room temperature will prolong the preparation time.

2.  Place the removable bowl inside the fixed bowl in the main unit and insert the mixing blade. Place the transparent lid on top turning it clockwise to lock into place.
   

3.  Line up the mixing blade with the spindle on the motor and lower the motor into place locating on the power conector.

4. Insert the plug into the socket and switch it on. The screen will illuminate blue and show ‘00’ on the display to show it is connected.

5. Select the appropriate time and press the START/STOP button. The appliance will start to count down the time. The LCD display will alternate between the time remaining
   and the temperature of the ingredients.

6. Pour your mixture into the ice cream maker through the refill lid opening
   
   DO NOT pour too much mixture into the bowl. Leave approximately 3cm from the top of the bowl, so that the mixture can expand in volume during preparation.

7. Let the ice cream maker run until the ice cream has reached the correct consistency.vThe ice cream maker will stop turning when the timer has finished. The preparation time depends on the recipe and the temperature of the ingredients and the room.

• Do not turn off the appliance before the ice cream is ready. If it is switched off too early, the ingredients may freeze against the inside wall of the removable bowl.
• The time needed to reach the consistency you require may be shorter or longer than the time in the recipe due to the temperature of the ingredients or the room temperature. If you need less time; switch off the appliance and take out the mixing blade. You can set the Compressor Ice Cream Maker for a longer time if you need a thicker consistency.
• Use the ice cream scoop provided, a plastic or wooden spoon or spatula
  to scrape the ice cream from the removable bowl. Metal spoons or spatulas can cause damage to the freezer bowl.

When you’ve finished, turn off the ice cream maker by pressing the power switch and unplug the appliance from the socket. Serve the ice cream or transfer to a separate
container and store in your freezer.

HINTS AND TIPS

• Chill the ingredients in the fridge before use.

• 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. Monitor the mixture through the transparent lid and adjust the timer if necessary.

• Make sure all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture has cooled before pouring your mixture into the maker.

• For the fullest flavour, choose ripe fruits. Wash carefully, remove all seeds, skin and core, and chop into small pieces.
