HOWTO:
Before
You Use
Your Ice Cream
Maker
Remove
all literature
and packing
materials from inside
the ice
cream maker.
Wash the Freezer

To
clean, wipe
with a damp

Freezing The
Freezer
Bowl
The most
important step in
making frozen desserts
is
to make
sure the
Freezer Bowl is
properly
frozen. Your
Ice
Cream Maker
features a
double insulated
bowl
and
requires
thorough freezing.The
length of time
'
necessary to
properly freeze the
Freezer Bowl
will
depend
on how
cold the
freezer temperature
is.

As there is
liquid in
between the
Freezer
Bowl walls, shake
the
Freezer Bowl to
check the
ideal freezing
condition;
you
should not
hear any liquid
moving
within the walls.
NOTE:
Continually
storing the
Freezer
Bowl in the
freezer allows
you the
flexibility to
make
your favorite
frozen
dessert at a
moment's
notice.

HowTo Use Your Ice
Cream
Maker
This ice cream maker
can make up
to
1
.5 quart of
ice cream. Due
to
an increase
in volume during
preparation,
the maximum
amount must
not exceed
0.8 quarts of liquid. If using
your own recipes,
adapt
the volume
of mixture to this
amount.

ofthe
Paddle. After 40 minutes turn
unit OFF.
NOTE:
To avoid overheating of the
Motor, the direction
of
the rotation will change
if the mixture becomes too
thick. If the direction of
rotation continues to change, the
mixture is
completely prepared, turn
off unit immediately.
8. When
done, remove
PADDLE from ice cream. Only use
rubber,
plastic, or
wooden utensils to serve from the
FREEZER BOWL.
Metal spoons may damage it.

Helpful Hints
Some recipes
require the mixture to be
pre-
cooked.
Make the recipe at least one day
ahead.
This will
allow the mixture to cool
completely
and
adds
volume.
Uncooked
recipes will yield best
results when
an
electric mixer is used to cream the eggs and
sugar. This helps
increase volume in the ice cream
mixture. Eggs
must be cooked properly. See our
eggbased
recipes for
instructions.
Most ice
cream recipes are a combination
of
cream,
milk,
eggs
and sugar. You can use any
type of
cream
you
like, but the type
of cream
you
use
will affect the flavor and texture.
The higher
percentage
of fat, the richer the ice
cream and
the
softer the texture. For example,
heavy cream
has at
least 36% fat, followed by:
whipping cream
(30%),
coffee or light cream
(18%)
and half & half
(1
0%).
Any combination can be used, but
make
sure
the liquid measurement
remains the same. For
example,
lighter ice creams can be
made by using
more
milk than cream, or by
eliminating cream
altogether. Skim milk may be used,
but there will
be a
noticeable difference
in texture and taste.
The ice
cream mixture will stay
fresh in the
refrigerator for several days. Be
sure to mix well
before
adding to the
Freezer Bowl.
www.oster.com
Page 6
When
pouring mixture into the Freezer Bowl,
be
sure to
stop at least
1
"
(2.5
cm) from
the top,
as
mixture
will
increase
in volume during
the freezing
process.
Alcohol
inhibits the freezing process.
To add
alcohol
to a recipe, add when the mixture
is semi-
stiff.
The flavor
of
a sorbet will depend greatly
on the
ripeness
and
sweetness of the fruit and/or
juice. If
fruit
is too
tart,
add sugar; if the fruit is very
ripe,
decrease or
omit
the sugar. Freezing
subdues
sweetness, so
the recipe
will not
be quite as sweet
when frozen.
Artificial sweeteners
can
be used
as a substitute for
sugar.
NOTE: Heat affects
the
sweetness of artificial
sweetener. Only
add artificial
sweeteners
to
mixture that are
cold or have
been completely
cooled. When
a recipe calls
for heating liquid
to
dilute
sugar, omit
the heating
process and simply
stir in
the sweetener
until it is
well dissolved.
The following
table shows
substitutions
for artificial
sweetener
used in place
of sugar:
1
packet
of sweetener
=
2 teaspoons
(10ml)
sugar
6 packets
=
1/4 cup
(60ml)
8 packets
=
1/3 cup (75ml)
'
12 packets
=
1/2 (125ml)
10
www.oster.com
The ice cream mixture should be liquid when
preparation starts. Do not use stiff mixtures (i.e.
whipped cream,
frozen liquids).
When adapting your own recipes to the maximum
amount 1 .5 quart, you
should change all
ingredients to the same
percentage.
Do not operate the
appliance longer
than required.
If after
40
minutes, the
mixture is
not yet solid,
or
has thawed again, do not continue.
Possible reasons for
mixture
not freezing:
-
the Freezer Bowl
was not
cold enough
-
the mixture was too
warm
-
the proportion of ingredients was incorrect
Do not store prepared
ice
cream in the Freezer
Bowl for more than a few days.
The
room
temperature
may affect the freezing time.
Time varies depending on recipe.
Waste Disposal
The liquid in the Freezer Bowl contains no toxic
materials. Dispose
as
normal household waste.
