Freezing the Cylinder Bowl

The most important step in making ice cream and frozen dessert is to make sure that the cylinder bowl is thoroughly frozen.

1. Wash and thoroughly dry cylinder bowl.

2. Place cylinder bowl in an upright

position in the back of your freezer where the temperature is coldest. The temperature should be at least 0ºF/-18ºC. Keep the cylinder opening clear.

NOTE: The length of time necessary to properly freeze the cylinder bowl will depend upon how cold the freezer temperature is:

Freezer Temperature

-22ºF/-30ºC 8 to 9 hours

-13ºF/-25ºC

12 to 13 hours

0ºF/-18ºC 20 to 22 hours 5ºF/-15ºC

24 hours or more

Minimum time for cylinder to properly freeze

Shake cylinder bowl to ensure the liquid between the cylinder bowl walls is thoroughly frozen.

840112400 ENv03.qxd 1/30/03 3:48 PM Page 3

1. Prepare one of the suggested

recipes or one of your own favorites. You can use any recipe for ice cream, frozen yogurt, or frozen dessert, as long as the recipe does not contain more than one quart of ingredients. NOTE: Always chill your mixture in the refrigerator before attempting to freeze-churn. Ice cream mixtures will stay fresh in the refrigerator for a few days. Shake well before pouring the mixture.

2. Assemble the lid, motor, and drive shaft. To insert the drive shaft into the motor unit, slide motor onto lid until the “keyhole” part of lid is over hole

into which the driveshaft fits. Push the drive shaft into the hole.

NOTE: Make sure that the non-key-

hole part of the lid fits between the top and bottom collars of the drive shaft.

3. When the mixture is ready, remove

the cylinder bowl from the freezer and place on a firm, level surface near a convenient power outlet. It is extremely important that the bowl be used immediately after it is removed from the freezer, as it begins to thaw once removed.

Making Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt

4. Insert churn blade onto the drive shaft. Lower assembled lid/motor/ churn blade onto the cylinder bowl positioning lid locks over tabs located on the ring

inside of bowl. Lock in place by sliding the lid locks outward.

5. Plug cord into outlet. Turn switch to

ON position to start operating churn blade.

6. Immediately pour chilled mixture into cylinder bowl through lid opening. Maximum capacity of chilled mixture is one quart. This allows for the volume to

increase during churning to 11⁄2 quarts.

NOTES:

• During the freezing process, you can add finely chopped or pureed ingredients such as chocolate, raisins, nuts, etc., through the opening in the lid. Alcohol should not be added until near the end of the process as it significantly slows down the freezing process.

• The machine will run for 20 to 40 minutes. Do not turn ice cream maker off during this time. The mixture may freeze to the walls and prevent the churn from turning.

• If the churn becomes blocked, it will reverse and continue to turn in the opposite direction. When the motor repeatedly stalls and reverses, the mixture has reached maximum freezing.

Making Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt

(cont.)

7. Turn off, unplug and remove motor assembly from the bowl. You may “season” the ice cream by wrapping cylinder bowl with a clean towel until

desired consistency is reached (up to 30 minutes) Transfer to an airtight container and store in freezer.

NOTES:

• Bowl has nonstick surface for easy cleanup. Do not use sharp utensils, such as metal spoons, inside the cyclinder bowl. Sharp objects will scratch and damage the inside of the cylinder bowl.

• The finished result is a soft, spoonable ice cream. Homemade ice cream will not be the same consistency of hard store-bought ice cream.

IMPORTANT: Do not operate the unit for longer than required. If after 40 minutes the mixture is not yet solid or has thawed again, do not continue. Refreeze the cylinder bowl and chill ice cream in another bowl before continuing process.

Usage Tips

• The frozen cylinder maintains a temperature of about 14ºF (-10ºC) for over 2 hours.

• We recommend you always keep your ice cream bowl in your freezer so that you can make ice cream, chill wine or serve ice cubes at any time.

• For best results, the ice cream bowl must be frozen thoroughly. Make sure to set your freezer at the coldest setting (temperature should not be more than º0F or -18ºC.)

• Firmness of ice cream depends on variables such as the recipe used, room temperature and temperature of ingredients before churn-freezing.

• Some recipes require the mixture to be pre-cooked. Make the recipe at least one day ahead. This will allow the mixture to cool completely and increase volume. Pre-chilling the base mixture is strongly recommended. Never try to shortcut.

• Remember that artificial sweetener can be used as a substitute for sugar. Only add artificial sweeteners to mixtures that are cold or have completely cooled. When a recipe calls for heating liquid to dilute sugar, omit the heating process and simply stir in the sweetener until it is well dissolved.

1 packet sweetner = 2 teaspoons sugar 6 packets =

⁄4 cup

8 packets =

⁄3 cup

12 packets =

⁄2 cup

• Do not attempt to make more than 1 quart (4 cups) at a time.

• Do not remove ice cream bowl from the freezer until ready to use.

• Do not puncture or heat the freezing cylinder.

Storing Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt

In the ice cream maker

When the ice cream is ready it can be left covered in the ice cream maker for approximately 30 to 40 minutes. If placed covered into the refrigerator it can also be left in the ice cream maker for 30 to 40 minutes.

In the freezer

Although ice cream can be stored in the freezer for a short period, a lengthy period of storage is not beneficial for either the taste or the quality of the ice cream. After one or two weeks, the texture starts to deteriorate and the fresh taste is lost. Ice cream tastes best when it is fresh. Should you wish to store ice cream in the freezer, follow these tips:

• Store the ice cream in a clean, wellsealed container that is suitable for freezing.

• Storage temperature must be 0ºF (-18ºC) or lower.

• Attach a label to the container with the date when it was made and the kind of ice cream it is.

• Defrosted or semi-defrosted ice cream must never be put back in the freezer.

Remove ice cream from freezer about thirty minutes before serving and place it in the refrigerator. Or bring it up to serving temperature by allowing it to stand for ten or fifteen minutes at room temperature.

Ice cream from non-boiled ingredients up to 1 week

Sorbets

1 to 2 weeks

Ice cream from half-boiled ingredients

up to 2 weeks

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM

Ice cream is not firm enough

Things TO CHECK

• The cylinder bowl was not in the freezer long enough (preferably overnight).

• The freezer is not cold enough. Ice cream sets at 10 to 14ºF (-10 to -12ºC). If the freezer is not at 0ºF (-18ºC) the ice cream will not set.

• Too much mixture was put in cylinder bowl. Maximum fill is 1 quart.

• Ingredients are warm or at room temperature.

• The cylinder bowl was left at room temperature for more than 5 minutes before use.

• The freezer door was opened and closed too many times during the freezing process.

• The freezer has a thick coating of ice on the walls. After washing, dry completely prior to placing back in freezer.

How To Clean

1. Turn motor assembly upside down. Grip motor with one hand while holding lid with the other. Slide lid free. Holding the unit upside down will prevent the drive shaft

from falling out. Then remove the drive shaft and lid.

2. Wash the lid, churn blade, drive

shaft and cylinder bowl in hot, soapy water.

NOTE: Do not clean freezing cylinder in dishwasher.

2. Wipe the motor assembly with a damp cloth. Never immerse the unit in water.

3. Make sure all parts are clean and thoroughly dried. Never replace cylinder in freezer if it is still wet.

NOTE: After cleaning, reassemble the entire motor assembly to avoid losing parts. The drive shaft is small and easily lost.
