This appliance intended for household use only.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.

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

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 (1 L) 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. To assemble the lid and motor: align the two tabs on motor with openings on lid. Snap motor into position.

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.

4. Insert churn blade into motor. Lower

assembled lid/motor/ churn blade

onto cylinder bowl aligning lid lock tabs with handles and front notch.

Making Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt

5. Raise handle to lock lid into position.

6. Plug cord into outlet. Turn switch to

ON position to start operating churn blade.

7. Immediately pour chilled mixture into cylinder bowl through lid opening. Maximum capacity of chilled mixture is one quart (1 L). This allows for the vol-

ume to increase during churning to 11⁄

2 quarts (1

⁄

2 L).

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.
