parts inside. Power unit never needs lubrication. Do not attempt
to service this product. Do not immerse in water or other
liquid. Any servicing should be performed by an authorized
service representative.
POLARIZED PLUG INFORMATION
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized

BEFORE YOU USE YOUR ICE CREAM MAKER
Remove all literature and packing materials from inside the
ice cream maker. Wash the Gel Canister, Bucket, and Paddle
in warm, soapy water. Be sure to rinse and dry all parts
thoroughly. DO NOT immerse Motor COVER in water. To clean,
wipe with a damp cloth.
FREEZING THE GEL CANISTER
The most important step in making frozen desserts is to make
sure the Gel Canister is properly frozen. Your Ice Cream Maker
features a double insulated bowl and requires thorough
freezing. For best results, the Canister should be wrapped in
a plastic bag and placed upright in the back of your freezer,
where the temperature is the coldest. Wrapping your Canister
in a plastic bag will guard against freezer burn. The length of
time necessary to properly freeze the Canister will depend on
how cold the freezer temperature is.
As there is liquid in between the Canister walls, shake the
Canister to check the ideal freezing condition; you should not
hear any liquid moving within the walls.
NOTE: Continually storing the Gel Canister in the freezer
allows you the flexibility to make your favorite frozen dessert
at a moment’s notice.

HOW TO USE YOUR ICE CREAM MAKER
This ice cream maker can make up to 1 or 1.5 quart of ice cream
(selected models only). Due to an increase in volume during
preparation, the maximum amount must not exceed 0.5
quarts of liquid. If using your own recipes, adapt the volume of
mixture to these amounts.
1. Make sure unit switch is in OFF position.
2. Remove Gel Canister from freezer.
3. Insert Paddle into Canister.
4. Place Motor Cover on top of Canister and put into the Bucket so
that all the locking tabs are aligned and the extender fits into
the Paddle. Once you have made certain everything is properly
together, rotate the Motor Cover clockwise slightly until the 4
tabs “snap” into place. Insert the plug into outlet, then turn the
unit ON immediately. This will prevent the Paddle from freezing
onto the Canister.
5. Pour the prepared ice cream mixture through the Mixing Feeder
located on the Motor Cover.
Note: It is extremely important that the Canister be used
immediately after it is removed from the freezer, as it begins to
thaw once removed. First, make sure that the ice cream mixture is
ready, then remove the Canister from freezer.
6. Leave the machine on for approximately 20–40 minutes, or until
the mixture reaches the desired consistency. Do not turn the
appliance off during use, as the mixture may freeze and prevent
the movement of the Paddle. After 40 minutes turn unit OFF.
7. To add ingredients after the freezing process has begun, gently
add them through the Mixing Feeder.
8. To avoid overheating 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.
9. Remove Paddle from ice cream. Only use rubber, plastic, or
wooden utensils to serve from the Canister bowl. Metal spoons
may damage the bowl.

HOW TO USE YOUR ICE CREAM MAKER (CONT.)
10. To further harden the ice cream, you may put the Canister with
the ice cream contents into the freezer for a short period of time
(no more than 30 minutes). Long term freezing, however, should
be done in an airtight container.
AUTO SAFETY SHUT OFF
This Ice Cream Maker is supplied with an auto safety shutoff. Should
the motor become overheated it will turn off. In order to restart the
Ice Cream Maker the following steps must be followed:
1. Unplug the Ice Cream Maker.
2. Wait at least 20 minutes for the motor to cool.
3. Plug in and operate normally.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR ICE CREAM MAKER
Make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged. The gel canister
should be cleaned in warm water and mild detergent, then dried
thoroughly. Never clean with scouring powders or hard implements.
Never replace Canister in Freezer if it is still wet. Do not use sharp
utensils, scouring pads or abrasive detergents when cleaning Gel
Canister.
The Motor Cover can be cleaned by using a damp cloth. Never
immerse Motor Cover in water.
Do not place canister in dishwasher!
HELPFUL HINTS 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 (10%). 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 shake well before adding to the
Canister.
• When pouring mixture into the Canister, 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 avor 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.
-E8- -E9-
• Articial 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.
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)
• 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
of 1 or 1.5 quart (selected models only), 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 Gel Canister was not cold enough
- the mixture was too warm
- the proportion of ingredients was incorrect
• Do not store prepared ice cream in the Gel Canister for
more than a few days.
WASTE DISPOSAL
The liquid in the Gel Canister contains no toxic materials.
Dispose as normal household waste.
