OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place empty freezer bowl in an upright position, towards the back wall of the freezer for at
least 12 hours before processing.
2. Prepare ice cream or dessert mixture and refrigerate in an airtight container until cold, or
store for up to 3 days until use.
IMPORTANT: Mixture must be cold before processing frozen desserts. If the recipe needs
to be cooked, allow the heated mixture to cool for several hours or preferably store mixture
covered in the refrigerator overnight before freezing
3. Remove freezer bowl from freezer. Place assembled lid with mixing paddle onto the
freezer bowl. Rotate lid so that both lid tabs fit directly over both of the side locks.
4. Grasping both side locks, rotate locks towards you to lock.
5. Check to make sure the power ON/OFF button is in the (O) OFF position. Plug the Ice
Cream Maker into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
6. Press the power ON/OFF button to the (—) ON position. The paddle will begin to turn.
7. Pour 12 oz. to 28 oz. (1-1/2 to 3-1/2 cups) prepared ice cream/dessert mixture into the
freezer bowl through the ice cream chute on the top of the lid.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 28 oz. (3-1/2 cup) maximum capacity. To assure proper freezing,
always process a minimum of 12 oz. (1-1/2 cups) prepared ice cream/dessert mixture.
IMPORTANT: Foods expand in volume during the freezing process. To avoid overflow
and waste, adjust recipe to allow extra room in the freezer bowl when adding in
ingredients during the final minutes of processing.
8. Allow the Ice Cream Maker to churn for 12 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of
the mixture and the quantity processed.
9. Add-Ins such as mini chocolate chips or chopped chocolate, fruits or nuts should
be chopped into small pieces. Depending on the quantity processed, about 10 to 15
minutes into the churning, after the mixture has thickened, drop ingredients through
the add-in chute on top of the lid.
IMPORTANT: Check to make sure the mixing paddle sits down into the mixture, not on
top of the add-ins, and continues to churn through all ingredients in the full freezer bowl.
WARNING: To avoid spills and possible damage to the unit, do not overfill the freezer bowl.
10. Do not leave the Ice Cream Maker unattended while churning.
11. When the ice cream or frozen dessert is processed to the desired consistency, press the
power ON/OFF button to the (O) OFF position and unplug the Ice Cream Maker from the
electrical outlet.
12. Unlock the lid to disassemble. Grasping both side locks, rotate locks away from you to
unlock. Lift lid up and off the freezer bowl.
CAUTION: To avoid scratching the non-stick surface of the freezer bowl, NEVER use a
metal scoop or any metal utensils to remove ice cream/frozen dessert from the freezer
bowl.
13. Use a plastic or wood spoon or plastic or rubber spatula to remove the frozen dessert from
the freezer bowl. Pack into a plastic airtight storage container for freezer storage.
14. Mark the prepare date and type of desserts on the storage container.
IMPORTANT: Use your freshly prepared ice cream soon after processing. After 1 or 2
weeks, the structure of ice cream deteriorates and the fresh taste may be lost.
CAUTION: To ensure the best flavor, consistency and to avoid sickness, do not refreeze
and consume the desserts, which have been totally or partly defrosted.

HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR BEST RESULTS
• Always plan ahead! Freeze the clean, empty freezer bowl for at least 12 hours before
processing.
• Ice cream or dessert recipes can be made ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container
until cold or for to up to 3 days before churning.
• Recipes using fresh-cooked ingredients should be cooled 2 hours to overnight before
using.
• Fresh or frozen fruits may taste less sweet when frozen. Adding extra sugar or sweetener
may be necessary.
• Create fresh frozen desserts without preservatives, using pure, fresh ingredients.
• For those with dietary restrictions or health-conscious, luscious frozen desserts may be
prepared using soy milk, almond milk, coconut, or rice milk.
• Desserts prepared in this Ice Cream Maker will not have the same characteristics as
commercially prepared frozen desserts using preservatives or gum bases to make them
firm. For a denser, harder consistency, transfer processed frozen dessert to an airtight
plastic container and store in the freezer until the desired consistency is reached, usually 2
hours or more.
• Higher fat dairy products, such as heavy or whipping cream, create a smooth, rich, and
creamy ice cream. Lower fat dairy products create a lighter dessert with a slightly different
texture.
• For lower fat alternatives, substitute low fat milk for whole milk, whole milk for half-andhalf, and evaporated skim milk for heavy or whipping cream. Substitute lower fat creams in
equal quantities. However, lower fat substitutes may change the taste, consistency, and
texture . . . the higher the fat content, the richer and creamier the dessert.
• For lower sugar alternatives, artificial sweeteners may be used.
• To ensure proper freezing, do not allow freezer bowl to remain out of the freezer for longer
than 5 minutes before processing.
• Do not fill the freezer bowl with more than 28 oz. (3-1/2 cups) or less than 12 oz.
(1-1/2 cups) of food ingredients.
NOTE: Cut recipes to 24 oz. (3 cups) liquid when planning to add in additional ingredients.
• Allow extra room in the freezer bowl when adding in ingredients during the final minutes of
processing.
• Water-based recipes may cause the Ice Cream Maker to produce less than favorable
results. It is recommended that mashed fruit, sugar, juices or creams be used in recipes to
facilitate even freezing.
• Never add alcohol to the freezing mixture. If desired, add ice cream or frozen dessert to
glasses, then add alcohol before serving.
CAUTION: To avoid scratching the non-stick surface of the freezer bowl, NEVER use a
metal scoop or any metal utensils to remove frozen dessert from the freezer bowl.
