BEFORE YOU USE YOUR ICE CREAM MAKER
Remove all literature and packing materialsfrom inside the ice cream maker. Wash the Freezer Canister,Cover, and Paddle in warm, soapy water. Be sure to rinse and dry all parts thoroughly.DO NOT IMMERSE MOTOR UNIT IN WATER.To clean, wipe with a damp cloth.
FREEZING THE FREEZER CANISTER
The most important step in making frozen desserts is to make sure the Freezer 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 temperatureis 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 Freezer Canister in the freezer allows you the flexibility to make your favorite frozen dessert at a moment’snotice.
