Features
Double insulated freezer canister.
Double insulated walls keep the freezer canister colder for longer periods and for better freezing results. The gel inside these double walls provides thorough and even freezing throughout use.
See through cover with feeder hole.
The see through cover allows you to keep an eye on the freezing process. The convenient feeder hole allows you to add ingredients without having to stop the unit to do so.
Before First Use
Remove all packing materials and manuals form inside your new gel canister ice cream maker. Wash each part of the unit which touches the ingredients, such as the Stirring Paddle, Lid, and the Ice Cream bucket. Parts should be washed with warm water and a mild dish washing detergent and wiped completely dry. Do NOT use abrasive cleaners to clean as these may damage your appliance. Power head may be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Do NOT clean appliance in dishwasher.
Freezing the Freezer Canister
The most important step in making frozen desserts, is making sure that the freezer canister is completely frozen. The Bravetti Gel Canister Ice Cream Maker features a double walled insulated freezer canister for perfect frozen desserts every time. To freeze your canister, wrap it in a large resealable freezer bag and place it upright in the coldest part of your freezer. Using a resealable freezer bag prevents ice crystals from forming on the freezer canister. The length of time to properly freeze the freezer canister depends on how cold your freezer temperature is. To make sure that your freezer canister is properly frozen, you should not hear any gel moving within the freezer canister when you shake it.
FREEZER TEMP APPROX. FREEZING TIME
-22° F / -30° C 8-9 Hours
-13° F / -25° C 12-13 Hours 0° F / -18° C 20-22 Hours 5° F / -15° C 24 Hours or more
FREEZING GUIDE
Using Your Ice Cream Maker
Your ice cream maker can make up to 1 1/2 quarts of ice cream. Due to an increase in volume when freezing the ingredients, you should not exceed 1 quart of liquid ingredients. If you are using your own recipes, adapt the volume of the mixture not to exceed this amount.
1. Place the freezer canister into the coldest part of your freezer the day before. See chart for approximate freezing time.
2. Make sure that the On/Off button is in the "Off" position.
3. To assemble the unit, insert the drive unit into the cover until it locks in place. The two tabs on the bottom of the drive unit will lock into the cover. (Fig. 1)
Fig. 1
3. Insert the paddle extender into the paddle (Fig.2) and then insert the paddle into the drive unit. (Fig. 3)

4. Remove the freezer canister from the freezer.
5. Place drive unit with the cover on the freezer canister. Make sure that all the locking tabs are aligned. Rotate the cover clockwise slightly so that the tabs lock in place. (Fig. 4)
Fig. 4
6. Insert the plug into the power outlet and start the unit right away. This will prevent the paddle from freezing onto the freezer canister.
7. Pour the prepared ice cream mixture through the feeder hole into the freezer canister. (Fig. 5)
Fig. 5
Important: It is very important that the freezer
canister be used immediately after being taken out of the freezer as it starts to thaw once it is removed from the freezer.
8. Leave the unit on for approximately 20-40 minutes or until the mixture reaches the desired consistency. Do not turn the unit "Off" during use as the mixture may freeze and prevent the paddle from turning.

9. To add ingredients after the freezing process has started, slowly add them through the feeder hole.
10. To avoid overheating the motor, the direction of the rotation will change when the mixture becomes too thick. If the direction of the rotation continues to change, the mixture is completely prepared.
Turn the unit off.
11. Remove the cover with the paddle from the ice cream mixture. Use only rubber, plastic or wooden utensil to serve or remove from the freezer canister. Metal utensils may damage the freezer canister.
12. To further harden the ice cream, you may place the freezer canister in the freezer for a short period of time (no longer than thirty minutes). For longer freezing time. You should empty the ice cream in an airtight container.
Cleaning Your Ice Cream Maker
The freezer canister may be washed in warm water with a mild dishwashing detergent then dried thoroughly. To separate the freezer canister from the upper and lower rings for washing, press on the release button and lift the upper ring first. Then remove the lower ring by sliding it off the freezer canister. To replace the upper and lower rings after the freezer canister is completely dry, slide on the lower ring first aligning the hole for the release button with the arrow on the freezer canister. Then insert the upper ring making sure that the two rings snap together. Do NOT wash any part in a dishwasher. Do NOT use sharp utensils, scouring pads or abrasive cleansers to clean the freezer canister. The drive unit may be cleaned with a damp cloth. Never immerse the drive unit in water or any other liquid. Never place the freezer canister in the freezer if it is still wet. Always make sure that the freezer canister is completely dry before placing in the freezer. The storage lid may be washed with warm water and a mild dishwashing detergent then dried thoroughly.
Helpful Hints
Recipes
Some ice cream recipes require
the mixture to be pre-cooked. You can make the recipe at least one day in advance. This will allow the mixture to cool down completely and also add volume. We recommend that you pre-chill the ice cream mixture for better results.
Uncooked recipes will give you the
best results when an electric mixer is used to cream the eggs and sugar. This helps increase the volume in the ice cream mixture.
Most ice cream recipes are a
combination of cream, milk, eggs and sugar. You may use any type of cream that you prefer, but the type of cream that you do use will affect the flavor and texture of the ice cream that you are making. The higher the percentage of fat in the cream, the richer the ice cream and the softer the texture. i.e. heavy cream has 35% fat, whipping cream has 30% fat, coffee or light cream has 18% fat and half & half has 10% fat. Any combination may be used but the total liquid measurement must remain the same.
The ice cream mixture will stay
fresh in the refrigerator for several days. Just make sure that it is well covered. Before adding to the freezer canister, stir it to make sure that the ingredients are well mixed together.
When pouring into the freezer
canister, stop at least 1" below the top of the canister as the mixture will increase in volume during the freezing process.
If you wish to add alcohol to your
ice cream recipe, add it when the mixture is semi hard or about 15 minutes into the process.
If you are making a fruit sorbet,
please note that the flavor of the sorbet will greatly depend on the ripeness of the fruit and/or type of juice that you use. If you find that the fruit is too tart, add sugar; if it is too ripe, decrease the amount of sugar. Also keep in mind that freezing lessens the sweetness of the recipe.
You can use artificial sweeteners
instead of sugar if you wish. Please note though that heat affects the sweetness of the artificial sweetener. We recommend that you use artificial sweeteners to mixtures that are cold or that have been completely cooled. When a recipe calls for you to heat the liquid ingredients so that the sugar may dissolve, omit the heating process and simply stir in the artificial sweetener until it is thoroughly dissolved.
Always start with liquid ice cream
mixtures when preparation starts. Do not use stiff mixtures such as whipped cream or frozen liquids.
Do not operate the unit longer than
required. If after 40 minutes the mixture is not yet solid or has thawed again, do not continue. Possible reasons for mixture not freezing: the freezer canister was not cold enough; the mixture was too warm; the proportion of the ingredients was not correct.
Do not store prepared ice cream in
the freezer canister for more than a few days.
Disposal of Unit
The gel in the freezer canister contains no toxic materials. You may dispose of as normal household waste.
