wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be
used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to
or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the counter­top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.

Tips for Best Results

• During the churning process, you can add finely chopped
or pureed ingredients, such as chocolate, raisins, and
nuts, through the opening in the cover after ice cream has
churned for at least 15 minutes or when mixture is thick and
has started to freeze. Alcohol should not be added until near
the end of the process since 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 bowl from turning. See
Troubleshooting if your unit did not make ice cream in
60 minutes.

• 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 1 to 2 weeks in the freezer.

• Keep the freezer bowl in the freezer so that you can make
ice cream, chill wine, or serve ice cubes 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, freezer temperature, and
temperature of ingredients before churning.

• Some recipes require the mixture to be precooked. Make
the recipe at least one day ahead and chill in the refrigerator
overnight. 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.

• To allow mixture to expand to 1 1/2 quarts (6 cups/1420 ml)
while churning, do not use more than 1 quart (4 cups/
946 ml) of recipe mixture at a time.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Ice cream is not firm enough or
ice cream maker is still running
after 60 minutes.

Ice cream maker stops churning
before ice cream is ready.

8

• The freezer bowl was not in the freezer long enough (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 1 quart (946 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, added too soon. Wait until ice cream
has churned for at least 15 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 have been added. Add one cup or less of mix-in
ingredients.

840237400 ENv05.indd 8 12/20/13 9:29 AM

NOTE: • ALWAYS freeze freezer bowl in freezer and chill prepared mixture in refrigerator before churning.
