Instructions for Use

Before first use, clean the lid, freezer bowl and mixing paddle in warm soapy water.
N.B. Do not clean any of the parts with abrasive cleaners or hard implements.

A Preparing the Freezer Bowl

n The freezer bowl must be completely frozen before you begin. Before freezing, wash

and dry the bowl. Wrap it in a plastic bag to prevent freezer burn. The length of time
required to freeze in the freezer, depends on the temperature of your freezer.

n In general, freezing time should be a minimum of 12 hours, with a freezer temperature

of -17°C or cooler. To determine whether the bowl is completely frozen, shake it. If you do
not hear liquid moving, the cooling liquid is frozen.

n We recommend that you place the freezer bowl in the back of your freezer where it is

coldest. Place the freezer bowl on a flat surface in its upright position for even freezing.
For convenience, leave your freezer bowl in the freezer at all times. You can take it out
any time for immediate use.

B Assembling the Ice Cream Maker

N.B. The bowl will begin to defrost rapidly after being removed from the freezer. Have your
recipe prepared before assembling the ice cream maker to ensure perfect results.

n Remove the freezer bowl from the freezer and remove the plastic bag. Place the freezer

bowl into the centre of the base.

n Place the mixing arm in the freezer bowl.

NOTE: The arm does not fit tightly, it just rests in the centre of the bowl, with the circle
facing up.

n Place the lid onto the housing base, and twist to lock into place. The easy lock lid

mechanism allows the lid to rest on the base in multiple positions.

C Making Frozen Desserts

You can make lots of different frozen desserts using your Ice Cream Maker. There are a
selection of recipe ideas for Ice Cream, Gelato, Frozen Yoghurt and Sorbet at the back of
this booklet.

n For best results, prepare the ingredients in a container from which it is easy to pour.
n Switch to the ON position, the freezer bowl will begin to turn.
n Immediately pour ingredients through the lid. Always leave at least 2cm of space at the

top of the bowl as the ingredients will increase in volume during the freezing process.

n You can add extra ingredients during the mixing process such as nuts and chocolate

chips. These should be added about 5 minutes before the end of the mixing process.

N.B. Nuts and other ingredients should be no larger than a chocolate chip.

n Frozen desserts will be ready in 20-30 minutes. Processing time depends on the recipe,

the amount of dessert being made and the temperature of the ingredients being used.

n If the frozen dessert is stuck on top of the mixing arm, stop the machine briefly and use

a spatula to scoop the mixture off the arm back into the freezer bowl.

n Do not store the frozen desserts in the freezer bowl. Desserts will stick to the side of the

freezer bowl and may damage the bowl, always transfer to a plastic airtight container.

D Dismantling the Ice Cream Maker

n Remove the lid from the housing by twisting slightly out of its locked position and lifting

up.

n Carefully lift out the mixing arm, followed by the freezer bowl. Serve the ice cream, or,

for a firmer texture, scoop into an airtight container and place in the freezer.
