BEFORE USING YOUR
TRIPLE GEL ICE CREAM MAKER
Features
3 Small Freezer Canisters
6 oz (200 ml) capacity each. To make 3 different flavors at the same time.
Double Insulated Freezer Canister
Double insulated walls keep the freezer canisters 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 manual from inside your ice cream maker. Do NOT immerse the motor base in water or other liquids. The freezer canisters, ice
cream paddles and locking lid are not dishwasher safe. 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. The drive spline may be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Freezing the Freezer Canister
The most important step in making frozen desserts, is making sure that the freezer canisters are completely frozen. The triple chill ice cream maker features double walled insulated freezer canisters for perfect frozen desserts every time. To freeze the freezer canisters, wrap them in a large re-sealable freezer bags and place them upright in the coldest part of your freezer. Using re-sealable freezer bags prevents ice crystals from forming on the freezer canisters. The length of time to properly freeze the freezer canisters depends on how cold your freezer temperature is. To make sure that your freezer canisters are properly frozen, you should not hear any gel moving within the freezer canisters when you shake them.

Using Your Ice Cream Maker
Your ice cream maker can yield 6 oz (200 ml) for each canister. A total of 18 oz (600 ml) of ice cream at one time. It is best to mix all the ingredients together into an easy pour container and chill for 2 hours before taking the freezer canisters out of the freezer and assembling the unit to make the ice cream. Due to an increase in volume when freezing the ingredients, you should not exceed 6 oz. of liquid ingredients in each freezer canister. If you are using you own recipes, adapt the volume of the mixture not to exceed this amount.
1. Place the freezer canisters into the coldest part of your freezer the day before. See chart for approximate freezing time.
2. Chill mixed ingredients in fridge or freezer.
3. Remove the freezer canisters from the freezer. (Remove the freezer canisters from their freezer bags.)
4. Ensure that power plug is not plugged in when assembling or cleaning the ice cream maker. Assemble ice cream maker as explained previously.
5. Ensure that lid is in locked position. Plug the unit into a 120V outlet. To turn the unit on, push the On/Off power button down.
6. If the freezer canisters are not rotating, gently turn one of the freezer canisters slightly to engage the drive boss. The freezer canister should now be rotating. This will prevent the paddle from the freezing onto the freezer canister.
7. Pour chilled ingredients into the filling holes until the freezer canisters are ¾ full. (Fig. 5)

Important: It is very important that the
freezer canister are used immediately after being taken out of the freezer as they start to thaw once they are removed from the freezer.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HELPFUL HINTS
8. Allow unit to run for 20-40 minutes depending on volume and ingredients. Do not turn the unit “Off” during use as the mixture may freeze and may damage the ice cream paddles or prevent the paddle from turning.
HINT: If using fruits or chocolate chips etc., add these in the last few minutes of ice cream cycle.
9. To add ingredients after the freezing
process has begun, add them slowly through the filling holes.
10. Push On/Off power button down to turn
the unit “OFF”.
11. To remove ice cream paddles from lid
rotate counter clockwise 90° and lift out from filling holes.
12. Turn locking knob to the open position
and remove lid. Use only rubber, plastic or wooden utensils to serve or remove from the freezer canister . Metal utensils may damage the freezer canister
13. 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 locking lid, freezer canisters, and ice cream paddles should be hand washed in warm water with a mild dishwashing liquid. The motor base can be wiped with a damp cloth.
Do not place any parts in the dishwasher, as damage could occur.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, scouring pads, sharp objects or utensils to clean any part of this unit.
NEVER place the freezer canisters in the freezer they are still wet. Always make
sure that the freezer canisters are completely dry before placing in the freezer.
1. Remove ice cream paddles and locking lid. Hand wash in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Do not store locking lid, paddles, or motor base in freezer.
2. When not in use, wash freezer canisters in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. Store empty freezer canisters in freezer with plastic freezer bags to avoid ice crystals. (They will be ready for the next use immediately.) Do not store freezer canisters in freezer if wet.
4. Lid and ice cream paddles can be stored on unit in locked positions on the motor base for storage.
Some recipes require pre-cooked
ingredients. For best results, the mixture should be chilled overnight before using. Chilling over an ice bath is another solution to cool ingredients more rapidly.
To make an ice bath, fill a large
container with ice cubes and water. Place container with mixture to be used into the ice bath. Cool precooked ingredients completely.
Prior to freezing, most recipes can be
stored in refrigerator for up to 3 days if well covered. Stir ingredients well before using.
Do not use frozen ingredients directly
in the ice cream maker, thaw frozen ingredients first, as frozen food could damage ice cream paddles.
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 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.
Al ways start with liquid ice cream
mixtures when preparation starts. Do not use stiff mixtures such as whipped cream or frozen liquids.
Artificial sweeteners can be
substituted for sugar. 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.
Recipes that involve alcohol, the
alcohol should be added in the last 10 (ten) minutes of the freezing process. As alcohol could slow down the freezing process.
For sorbet, test the ripeness and
sweetness of the fruit before you use it. Freezing process will make fruit less sweet. If the fruit is tart add sugar to the recipe.
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 them as normal household waste.
