FREEZING TIME AND BOWL
PREPARATION

The freezer bowl must be completely frozen before you begin
your recipe. Before freezing, wash and dry the bowl
completely. The length of time needed to reach the frozen
state depends on how cold your freezer is. It is
recommended that you place the freezer bowl in the back of
your freezer where it is coldest. Be sure to place the freezer
bowl on a flat surface in its upright position for even freezing.

Generally, freezing time is between 16 and 24 hours. To
determine if it is completely frozen, shake the bowl. If you do
not hear liquid moving between the walls of the bowl, the
cooling liquid is frozen. We recommend leaving your bowl in
the freezer at all times so it’s always ready. Use the bowl
immediately after removing from the freezer because cooling
liquid defrosts quickly at room temperature.

Reminder: Your freezer should be set to 0°F to ensure
proper freezing of all foods.

ASSEMBLING PADDLE AND
PADDLE HOLDER

1. Set paddle holder on counter with open end down.

2. Insert the desired paddle into the paddle holder, setting
the wide tab on the bottom of the paddle into the
opening on the bottom of the paddle holder.

MAKING FROZEN DESSERT

1. Prepare recipe ingredients from pages that follow or
from your own recipe. If you use your own recipe, be
sure it yields no more than 1½ quarts.

2. Remove the freezer bowl from the freezer. Set bowl onto
mixer and twist to lock into place.
NOTE: Bowl will begin to defrost quickly once it has
been removed from freezer. Use it immediately after
removing from freezer.

3. Assemble either the fresh fruit or ice cream paddle into
paddle holder. Place the square metal end of the
assembled paddle holder onto the raised hub in the
bottom of the freezing bowl.

6. Place splash guard onto freezer bowl with pour spout to
either side. Press firmly down to secure.

7. Attach the drive assembly to the mixer’s accessory port
– push up to secure.

8. Press the mixer’s head-lift release lever, and lower
mixing head to connect drive assembly to paddle
assembly.

9. Turn mixer on to Speed 2 or 3, the former for fresh fruit
and the latter for ice cream. Never use over Speed 3 for
this ice cream maker attachment.

10. Immediately pour prepared ice cream base or fresh fruit
through ingredient spout.
NOTE: Ingredients must be added to the freezer bowl
after unit is turned on.

11. Ice cream and fresh desserts will be done in 15 to 25
minutes, depending on the recipe and volume of the
dessert you are making. Average mixing and freezing
time for fresh fruit desserts is about 15 minutes. When
the mixture has thickened to your liking, it is done. If
you desire a firmer consistency, transfer the dessert to
an airtight container and store in the freezer for 2 or
more hours.
NOTE: Do not store frozen desserts in the freezer bowl.
Desserts will stick to the sides of the freezer bowl and
may damage the bowl. Store only in a freezer-safe,
airtight container.
