Allow freezer bowl(s) to freeze
completely. NOTE: Liquid con­tained in freezer bowl(s) is
nontoxic.

Prepare i

ce cream mixture.
NOTE: Use between 180-360 ml
(6–12 oz.) of mi

xture. Do not

exceed 360 ml (12 oz.).

Chill mixture in refrigerator.

Insert mixing paddle into motor
housing.

FOR BEST RESULTS:

• Before churning, thoroughly chill ice cream
mixture in the refrigerator and the freezer bowl(s)
in freezer. Freezer bowl(s) should remain in the
freezer for at least 8 hours before use. Freezer
temperature should be set to the coldest setting
and bowls should be placed towards the back
wall.

• This unit produces soft serve ice cream—the
consistency will not be the same as hard, store­bought ice cream.

• If ice cream is not made after running the unit for
15 minutes maximum, your bowls have not been
frozen long enough OR your freezer is not cold
enough. See Troubleshooting section.

• If you wish to store any leftover ice cream in the
freezer bowl, simply place it inside a large plastic
zippered storage bag and put it back into the
freezer.
