Congratulations on the purchase of your new Mistral
Igloo Ice-Cream Maker.

Before first using your new Ice-Cream Maker, it is
most important that you read and follow the
instructions in this use and care booklet, even if you
feel you are familiar with this type of appliance.

Your attention is drawn particularly to the section
dealing with IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS. Find a safe
and convenient place to keep this booklet handy for
future reference.

This appliance has been designed to operate from a
standard domestic power outlet. It is not intended
for industrial or commercial use.

Before first use

Carefully unpack the Ice-Cream Maker and remove
all packaging materials.

Wash the freezer canister, cover and paddle in warm
soapy water and dry thoroughly. These parts are not
dishwasher safe.

Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the motor
unit. Do not immerse the motor unit in water.

Step 1 – preparing the ice-cream
mixture

Refer to the recipes in the back of this booklet to
prepare ice-cream mixture.

For best results, prepare the ice-cream mixture one
day before making ice-cream. This adds volume and
allows time for the mixture to cool sufficiently.

Step 2 – freezing the freezer canister

Note: It is essential that the freezer canister is
frozen properly.

To freeze the freezer canister, wrap it in a plastic bag
and store it in the back section of your freezer,
where the temperature is the coldest. The plastic
bag will prevent freezer burn from occurring.

Shake the freezer canister to check the progress of
the freezing process. If you can hear liquid, replace
the freezer canister back into the freezer. When you
can no longer hear the liquid when you shake the
freezer canister, the freezing process is complete.
The table below indicates the amount of time
required to freeze the freezer canister.

freezer approx.
temperature freezing time

-30°C/-22°F 8-9 Hours

-25°C/-13°F 12-13 Hours

-18°C/0°F 20-22 Hours

-15°C/5°F 24 hours or more

Note: The canister must be used immediately
after being withdrawn from the freezer. Do not
allow it to thaw.

Step 3 – ice-cream making process

Note: During operation, the motor may be
quite noisy. THIS IS NORMAL. It may appear to
struggle and make a loud grating noise, but
continue with the operation as the unit will
provide well frozen and churned ice-cream.

Getting to know your
Igloo Ice-Cream Maker

How to use your Igloo
Ice-Cream Maker

5

Before commencing, ensure the power cord is
unplugged and the control switch is in the (O)
position.

Slide the motor unit onto the cover until you hear a
click (indicatingthe motor unit and cover are locked
into place. See Fig. 1).

Fig. 1

Insert the paddle extender into the opening under
the motor unit.

Remove the freezer canister from the freezer once it
is completely frozen.

Insert the paddle into the canister bowl (Fig. 2).

Fig. 2

Place the motor unit and cover together above the
freezer canister so that all the locking tabs are
aligned and the paddle extender is inserted into the
paddle.

Turn the cover clockwise until you hear the tabs lock
into place (Fig. 3).

Fig. 3

Plug the Ice-Cream Maker into a standard domestic
power outlet and switch the outlet on.

Switch the on/off switch to the on position to prevent
the paddle from freezing onto the freezer canister.
Go to the next step immediately.

Pour the prepared ice-cream mixture into the
freezer canister via the mixing feeder.

The ice-cream making process takes approximately
20-40 minutes or until the desired consistency is
reached.

Note: Turning the Ice-Cream Maker off during
operation may cause the mixture to freeze and
restrict the movement of the paddle.

This appliance should not be operated for any longer
than 40 minutes at one time. Do not continue use if
the ice-cream is not solid or is thawing out after 40
minutes of mixing.

This may occur if the freezer canister was not frozen
properly, the mixture was too warm or the proportion
of ingredients was incorrect.

The mixing feeder can be used to add ingredients
once the ice-cream making process has begun. See
the recipes in the back of this booklet for additional
ingredients.

The direction of rotation will change if the ice-cream
mixture becomes too thick. This will prevent the
motor from overheating. The ice-cream mixture is
ready if the direction of rotation continues to change.
Once this occurs, turn the appliance off immediately

.

DO NOT use sharp objects or utensils inside the
freezer canister. Sharp objects will scratch and damage
the inside of the freezer canister. A rubber scraper
or wooden spoon may be used when the appliance
is turned off.

Note: The Ice-Cream Maker will switch off
automatically when the mixture gets too thick.
To avoid damage to the appliance or injury to
persons, ensure the appliance is switched off
and unplugged from the power outlet if it
automatically stops or stalls.

Tabs

Turn
clockwise

The ice-cream mixture can be frozen further by
placing the freezer canister into the freezer for no
more than thirty minutes.

To store your ice-cream for long periods of time,
place it in an air tight container in the freezer.

Switch off and unplug the Ice-Cream Maker from the
power outlet.

Disassemble and wash the freezer canister in warm
water with mild detergent.

Rinse well and dry thoroughly.

Note: Do not place any part of the Ice-Cream
Maker in the dishwasher.

Wipe the exterior of the motor unit with a soft damp
sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly.

Note: Sharp utensils, scouring pads or abrasive
detergents may harm your appliance.
