PARTS & IDENTIFICATION

.. SHORT CORD PURPOSE .

NOTE:

A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting

from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.

If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2) the extension
cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by

children or pets.

… POLARIZED PLUG

If this appliance is equipped with a

polarized plug

(one blade is wider than the other),

please follow the below instructions:

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never

use the plug with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the
extension cord. Do not alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being
used with this product. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized

plug

USING YOUR ICE CREAM MAKER

...

1. Always read all instructions and safeguards before operation.

2. Remove all packaging materials and make sure that all parts are present and

in good condition before discarding packaging materials.

3. Wash the lid, canister, and other plastic accessories in warm soapy water.

4. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

5. Use a damp cloth to wipe clean the electric motor, hand crank and wooden

bucket.

6. For brand new machines, please fill the wood bucket 2/3 full of water.

Allow to sit for 1-2 hours. This allows the wood to expand and swell up so
that the seams in between will close together keeping any ice or salt from
leaking during the operation process.

WARNING: DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS.

DO NOT IMMERSE ANY ELECTRICAL COMPONENT OR POWER CORD IN WATER
OR ANY OTHER LIQUIDS AT ANY TIME.

USING YOUR ICE CREAM MAKER (CONT.)

...

HOW TO USE:

PREP –

Chill the ice cream canister in the freezer for 2-3 hours prior to use. Do not

leave the canister inside the freezer for more than 6-hours.

1. Using your favorite recipe, prepare the necessary ingredients per the recipe

instructions.

2. Pour the prepared and chilled ice cream mixture into the chilled ice cream

canister. Do not fill more than 2/3 full.

3. Insert the Blending Spatula and make sure the bottom of the spatula is fixed

in the center of the bottom of the canister. (Figure 1)

4. Place the lid on the canister. (Figure 2)

5. Place the plastic stabilizing ring into the wooden bucket. (Figure 3)

6. Place the canister into the wooden bucket and make sure it engages the

cone in the center of the bucket. (Figure 4)

7. Slide the rectangular end of the hand crank or electric motor into the

rectangular hole on the rim of the wooden bucket (Figure 5-a). The opposite end
of the crank will drop into the open end where the locking latch is (Figure 5-b).
Carefully lift the latch so that the wire goes over the rounded end of the hand
crank or motor (you may need to rotate the canister by hand so that the lid fits
into the motor/hand crank) (Figure 5-c).

HOW TO USE continued…

1. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet if the Electric Motor is being

used.

***NOTE: While using the motor during the churning
process, the canister should be turning which will be
churning the ice cream ingredients. The Blending Spatula will
remain stationary. If the canister is not spinning, the
assembly is not set up properly and will need to be re­adjusted.

2. Now prepare the wooden bucket by filling it with ice to the top of the

canister.

3. Add 1-2 cups of rock salt to the top of the ice inside the bucket.

4. Run the cranking system for approximately 5 minutes so that the canister

chills evenly.

5. As the ice begins to melt down by 2-3 inches, add more ice and more cups

of rock salt into the bucket.

6. Allow the machine to churn for 45 minutes. (If the motor has stopped

prematurely, turn the motor off, break up any ice blockages with the plastic
stirrer and start it up again).

7. Once the churning is complete (the motor will

automatically

shut off when
the contents inside become too thick for the blending spatula), unplug and
remove the motor or crank. Clear the ice and salt away from the lid of the
canister to prevent it from falling into the canister of ice cream.

8. Remove the cover and carefully lift out the Blending Spatula and scrape off

any excess ice cream.

9. The ice cream consistency is very fresh so it will be more of a soft-serve

texture.

10. If a harder consistency is desired, transfer the contents to a freezable

container and freeze for 3-4 hours.

6

HOW TO USE MANUAL HAND CRANK:

Follow the instructions 1 - 7 from the Electric Motor to assemble the machine and the
Hand Crank to the wooden bucket.

1. The Manual Hand Crank is recommended for use to aerate the ice cream

contents to help add air into the mixture to make it thicker.

2. It is usually suggested to use towards the last 10-15 minutes of the freezing

process. It will also help freeze the contents more.

3. During the Hand Cranking process, both the Canister and the Blending

Spatula will spin in opposite directions of each other.

TIPS & NOTES:

• Use ice that is crushed inside the bucket. Ice should be small, coarse pieces.

• As the canister is turning, make sure to periodically mix salt and ice together by

using the plastic stirrer every 10-15 minutes while the machine is in use.

• It is recommended to store the ice cream inside the freezing canister.

• If the ice cream consistency is too soft, put the contents into a freezable

container and freeze for 3-4 hours. The manual hand crank can also be used to
crank the ice cream inside the canister to the desired consistency.

• For recipes that require pre-cooking, it is recommended that ingredients be

prepped several hours ahead. The mixture s will need to be allowed time to chill
and expand.

CAUTION:

• Do not plug up the drainage hole on the side of the wooden bucket. This is for

draining excess salt water and should be kept open at all times.

• If the electric motor stops churning before the 45-minutes is complete, check to

make sure there is no blockage of ice jamming against the canister. If there is ice
blocking the canister, turn off the motor and remove the jammed ice.

• The electric motor will

automatically

shut off if the ingredients in the canister
are too thick or too hard to blend anymore. Once removed, the motor will
function normally again.

CLEANING & CARE. ..

ALWAYS UNPLUG MACHINE AND ALLOW TO COMPLETELY COOL BEFORE CLEANING
OR STORING.

1. Clean the electric motor with a damp cloth to remove any debris.

NEVER IMMERSE THE MOTOR IN WATER.

2. Clean the wooden bucket with a warm soapy sponge to remove the salt-

water residue. Rinse and dry thoroughly to ensure the salt does not corrode
the metal accessories or parts.

3. Wash the plastic canister lid, blending spatula and other plastic parts in

warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.

4.

Wash the freezing canister in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Never

freeze the canister while it is still wet.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS. DO NOT WASH ACCESSORIES IN
DISHWASHER.
