How to Install and Replace the Batteries

Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the battery cover from the motor housing.

Remove old batteries and discard. Insert two new AA batteries as shown above.

Replace battery cover. NOTE: Batteries should last up

to 25 churning cycles. Replace lid.

Squeeze locking tabs and remove motor housing from lid.

NOTE: This step is necessary only when replacing batteries. The motor housing will not be attached to the motor before first use.

BEFORE FIRST USE: Install batteries BEFORE attaching lid to motor housing.

How to Make Ice Cream

1 3

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

Prepare ice cream mixture. NOTE: Use between 6–12 oz. of mixture. Do not exceed 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.

840199700 ENv03.qxd:Layout 1 2/1/11 10:30 AM Page 5

Allow paddle to churn in mixture for approximately 5–15 minutes. If needed, press down lightly on lid during the first few minutes of churning. This may be needed from time to time on lower-fat/ lower-sugar recipes.

NOTE: Pushing too hard will result in the paddle reversing back and forth.

How to Make Ice Cream (cont.)

Ensure lid with motor housing is securely placed on freezer bowl. Press switch to ON (I).

IMPORTANT: Place lid on bowl quickly after pouring ingredients into bowl, within a few seconds if possible. This will yield better results.

Pour chilled mixture into freezer bowl. Do not exceed 12 oz. (360 ml) of chilled mixture. Make ice cream one bowl at a time.

840199700 ENv03.qxd:Layout 1 2/1/11 10:30 AM Page 6

How to Make Ice Cream (cont.)

Unit will not turn OFF automatically. You must press switch to OFF (O) to stop churning.

Remove lid. Frozen mixture may be eaten directly out of the freezer bowl. To prevent surface scratching, using plastic utensils is recommended when eating directly from freezer bowls.

TO MAKE:

6 ounces (180 ml)

12 ounces (360 ml)

CHURN APPROXIMATELY:

5–6 minutes 8–9 minutes

After turning unit off, let it sit with the paddle and lid still attached for approximately 2 minutes (see Step 10).

NOTE: If the ice cream mixture is too thick, or sat in freezer bowl too long before churning, the paddle may struggle and/or reverse directions. Turn unit OFF (O), break up the mixture in the bowl with a spoon, replace the paddle, and turn back ON (I).

Ice cream is done when it looks like “soft serve.” A thin layer of ice cream may stick to the outside of bowl; this is normal. Turn OFF (O); then let sit with mixing paddle/lid still attached for about 2 minutes, allowing the ice cream to freeze further.

840199700 ENv03.qxd:Layout 1 2/1/11 10:30 AM Page 7

Tips for Best Results

• The machine will run until turned off. See Troubleshooting if your unit did not make ice cream in 15 minutes.

• Add mix-ins, such as chocolate chips or chopped nuts, after ice cream has churned for at least 5 minutes or when mixture is thick and has started to freeze. Make sure the mixing paddle is firmly pressed down to the bottom of the freezer bowl when replacing lid (after adding mix-ins). The mixing paddle should continue scraping the freezer bowl and not sit on top of the mix-in ingredients.

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

• Ice cream tastes best when fresh. It will begin to lose its fresh taste after several days in the freezer.

• Using metal utensils may scratch the surface of the freezer bowls, but this will not harm the unit. Plastic utensils are recommended when eating directly from the freezer bowls to extend the life of your unit.

• Placing hand on lid and pressing down lightly will help churning and prevent as much ice cream from sticking to the side of the bowl. A thin layer of ice cream will always stick to the outside of the bowl; this is normal.

• Keep the freezer bowl(s) in the freezer so that you can make ice cream at any time.

• For best results, the freezer bowl must be frozen thoroughly. Make sure to set your freezer at the coldest setting (temperature should not be more than 0°F [-18°C]).

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

• Some recipes require the mixture to be precooked. Make the recipe at least one day ahead. This will allow the mixture to cool completely and increase volume. Base mixture may not freeze if it is not thoroughly chilled.

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

• Do not puncture or heat the freezer bowl.

Cleaning

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM

Ice cream is not firm enough or ice cream maker is still running after 15 minutes.

Ice cream maker stops churning before ice cream is ready.

PROBABLE CAUSE

• The freezer bowl was not in the freezer long enough (for best results, at least 8 hours or preferably overnight).

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

• Too much mixture was put in freezer bowl. Maximum fill is 12 oz. (360 ml).

• Ingredients are warm or at room temperature.

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

• Mix-in ingredients, such as chocolate chips or chopped nuts, were added too soon. Wait until ice cream has churned for at least 5 minutes or until mixture is thick and has started to freeze before adding.

• The mix-in ingredients are too large, causing the paddle to jam. Chop nuts or other ingredients before adding.

• Too large a quantity of mix-in ingredients has been added. Add one cup or less of mix-in ingredients.

• Batteries are weak or dead and need to be replaced.

Troubleshooting (cont.)

PROBLEM

Surface of bowl(s) scratched.

Ice cream too firm.

Thick layer of ice cream sticking to sides of bowl(s).

PROBABLE CAUSE

• To order replacement bowls, call the customer service number located on the front cover of this Use and Care guide.

• Letting the ice cream sit in the freezer bowls for some time after churning will make the mixture very firm and difficult to scoop. Simply allow the churned mixture to sit for a few additional minutes and it will begin to soften again.

• A thin layer of ice cream on the sides of bowl is normal. Greater sticking tends to be present in lower-fat/lower-sugar recipes. When churning, place hand lightly on lid for the first few minutes to help these recipes begin to freeze.
