NOTE:-The ‘L’ or ‘N’ wire must NOT be
connected to the EARTH terminal marked ‘E’ or
coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW.

If in doubt consult a qualified electrician who
will be pleased to do this for you. This product
conforms to EC Directive 92/31/EEC with respect
to Electromagnetic Compatibility.

NON-REWIREABLE MAINS PLUG

If your appliance is supplied with a nonrewireable
plug fitted to the mains lead, you will find that it
incorporates a fuse, the value of which is
indicated either on the base of the plug or on the
fuse carrier. Should the fuse need replacing, you
must use an ASTA approved one (conforming to
BS1362) of the same rating.

If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used
until a replacement is obtained from an electrical
supplier.

If you need to remove the plug, cut it from the
mains lead and immediately dispose of it. Never
attempt to re-use this plug or insert it into a socket
outlet as there is a very great risk of an electric
shock.

Connection to the
Mains Supply

Check that the voltage marked on the product
corresponds with your supply voltage.

This product is fitted with a 13A plug complying
with BS1363. If this plug is unsuitable or needs to
be replaced, please note the following:

This product is double insulated and therefore
does not require an earth connection.

Important: The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the following code:

BLUE – NEUTRAL
BROWN – LIVE

This appliance is fitted with a plug which has a
3 amp fuse. Should the fuse fail, then it must
be replaced with an ASTA approved fuse
(conforming to BS1362) of the same rating. If
you need to replace the plug or if the plug is of
the incorrect type for your socket, remove it and
replace it with an appropriate plug. Dispose of the
old plug safely.

Important: The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue=neutral, Brown=live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may
not correspond with the coloured markings in your
plug, proceed as follows:

Connect the BROWN wire to the terminal marked
‘L’ or coloured RED.

Connect the BLUE wire to the terminal marked
‘N’ or coloured BLACK.

Getting to Know Your
Soft Serve Ice Cream
Maker

Before first using your new Soft Serve 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 Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker
and remove all packaging materials.

Wash the canister, lid 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.

PLEASE NOTE: The paddle is made up
of three parts which can be detached
so that any trapped food can be easily
cleaned. Please note that the part
labelled Paddle Part 3 in the diagram
below is very small so extra care should
be taken to ensure that this piece is not
rinsed away during cleaning.
When reassembling the three sections
it is very important that the sections are
pushed back together firmly until they
click into place.

How to Use Your Soft
Serve Ice Cream Maker

Step 1 – Freezing the Canister

To freeze the 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.

Table below indicates the amount of time required
to freeze the canister, freezing time varies
depending on the temperature of your freezer. For
most domestic freezers, 24 hours freezing time
will be required.

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.

For optimum results the temperature of the
canister should be between -15 to -20°C in
addition to the prepared mixture being chilled
to 1– 4°C (This can be achieved by leaving
the Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker mixture in the
fridge overnight). If you find the temperature of
the mixture is not low enough after chilling place
mixture in the freezer for 20-30 minutes before
adding it to the freezer canister. If the mixture
begins to freezer slightly stir well to remove any
frozen pieces before pouring into the canister

Step 2 – Preparing the Soft Serve Ice
Cream Mixture

Prepare the Soft Serve Ice Cream mixture from
one of the recipes in the ‘Recipe Ideas’ section of
this booklet.

It is advised that the Soft Serve Ice Cream mixture
is prepared one day prior to use and kept chilled
in the refrigerator. This allows the mixture to
achieve the recommended temperature.

Step 3 – Assembly of the Soft Serve Ice
Cream Maker

Please refer to the section “Features of your Soft
Serve Ice Cream Maker”.

Place the body of the Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker
onto the base and push down firmly to fit. Place
drip tray on base. Position on a dry, level surface.

When the Soft Serve Ice Cream mixture and
canister have reached the right temperature,
remove canister from the freezer and discard
plastic bag. Check to ensure the small “O” ring is
fitted at the base of the canister.

Place the canister into the body of the Soft Serve
Ice Cream Maker, turn canister slightly while
pressing down to ensure it slots properly into the
body.

Fit the tap dispenser to the body. Hold the tap
dispenser and lift up so the tap dispenser is
located in the hole, it may help to place one hand
on the rim of the canister to ensure it stays in
place. Rotate the tap dispenser anticlockwise
until it locks into position. Push the tap dispenser
handle down to ensure it is in the closed position.
Check carefully to ensure the tap dispenser is
fitted properly, otherwise mixture will leak out.

Attach the mixing paddle to the gear box by
slotting the rounded end into the largest of
the two holes. Carefully lower the paddle, with
gearbox attached into the canister, ensuring the
connecting pins fit into the slots on the main body.

Lock the lid into place around the gear box.

Step 4 - The Soft Serve Ice Cream Making
Process

Plug the Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker into a power
outlet and switch the power outlet on.

Pour the prepared mixture into the canister via
the mixing feeder.

Press the ‘ON’ switch on the Soft Serve Ice
Cream Maker and the paddle will begin to rotate.

The Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker making process
should take approximately 20-25 minutes.

This time varies on the temperature of your
freezer, the temperature of the mixture, the
weather and ingredients used. Check the soft
serve after 20 minutes churning time. Continue
churning until the ice cream is smooth and thick;
do not churn longer than 45 minutes. If the ice
cream is not ready after 40 minutes it is unlikely
to set. See Trouble shooting section for hints. The
ideal consistency for the soft serve is smooth and
creamy. Do not allow the mixture to churn for
too long or the mixture will become so think that
it blocks the dispenser outlet. Check consistency
regularly.

Note: Turning the appliance off during the
operation may cause the mixture to freeze
and restrict the movement of the paddle.

Once the desired consistency is achieved, hold
a cone or bowl under the dispenser and lift the
handle up. The Soft Serve Ice Cream will emerge
from the machine. To stop the ice cream flow,
push the handle down to return to the closed
position.

Note: The first few drops of ice cream will
not be frozen. This is normal as a small
amount of mixture finds its way into the
dispenser before the freezing process
starts.

When all the ice cream has been dispensed,
switch the Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker off.

Note: The maximum volume of mixture
that can be prepared in the canister is
600ml. As the mixture expands during the
freezing process, the maximum volume
of ice cream that can be made during the
Soft Serve Ice Cream making process is
approximately 700mls. This equates to
approximately 3-4 servings of Soft Serve
Ice Cream.

Care and Cleaning

Switch off and unplug the Soft Serve Ice Cream
Maker from the power outlet before disassembly
or cleaning.

Remove the lid and the mixing paddle, separate
from the gear box.

Unclip the small sections from the paddle to
enable ease of cleaning.

Remove the dispenser tap by turning it to the left
and then pulling straight down.

Remove the canister by pushing it up from
underneath.

Wash the lid, mixing paddle, dispenser tap and
canister in warm water with a mild detergent.
Rinse well and dry all parts thoroughly.

Note: Do not immerse the gear box or
motor unit in water. Your Soft Serve Ice
Cream Maker is not dishwasher safe.

Wipe the exterior of the motor unit with a soft
damp sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly. Sharp
utensils, scouring pads or abrasive detergents
may harm your appliance.

Note: Ensure the ‘O’ ring is fitted to the
outlet at the base of the canister after
cleaning and before use.

TIP: It’s a great idea to put the canister back into
the freezer after cleaning so that it is ready for
immediate use next time you would like to enjoy a
Soft Serve Ice Cream.

Note: When reassembling the detachable section
inside the paddle it is important that the two
sections be pushed firmly together unitl they click.

Recipes

Note: For ideal results when making
the following recipes, the use of
full cream milk (4% fat content) and
regular thick cream (35% fat content)
is recommended. Full cream diary
products are ideal as they produce
thick, smooth and creamy soft serve
ice cream. If you wish to use reduced
fat milk or cream, be aware that the
soft serve ice cream will not be as
smooth and creamy. Generally, when
using reduced fat ingredients the
churning time will be longer and the soft
serve a little runnier. You may wish to
experiment by substituting half of the
milk or cream quantity with a reduced fat
version.
