SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts
inside. Power Unit never needs lubrication. Do not attempt to service this
product.

POLARIZED PLUG

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 outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the

plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into
the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

BEFORE YOU USE YOUR ICE CREAM MAKER

Remove all literature and packing materials from 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 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 Freezer 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

Model GC8101 can make up to 1 quart of ice cream.
Model GC8151 makes up to 1.5 quarts of ice cream.
Due to an increase in volume during preparation, the
maximum amount must not exceed .5 quarts of liquid
for model GC8101, and 1 quart of liquid for model
GC8151. If using your own recipes, adapt the volume
of mixture to these amounts.

1. Make sure unit switch is in OFF position.

2. To assemble the ice cream maker, slide the Motor
Unit onto the Cover until it locks in place, two tabs
underneath will “click” into place (Fig.1).

3. Insert Paddle extender into Motor Unit opening
(Fig. 2).

4. Remove Freezer Canister from freezer.

5. Insert Paddle into Canister (Fig. 3).

6. Place Motor and Cover together on top of Canister 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 Cover
clockwise slightly until the
tabs “snap” into place (Fig.

4). Insert the plug into outlet, then turn the
Unit on immediately (Fig. 5). This will
prevent the Paddle from freezing onto the
Canister.

7. Pour the prepared ice cream mixture

through the Mixing Feeder in the Canister.
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.

8. 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. See page 8 for further
instructions.

9. To add ingredients after the freezing process has begun, gently add
them through the Mixing Feeder.

10. 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.

11. Remove Paddle from ice cream. Only use rubber, plastic, or wooden
utensils to serve from the Canister bowl. Metal spoons may damage
the bowl.

12. 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.

motor become overheated it will turn off. In order to restart the Ice
Cream Freezer the following steps must be followed:

1. Unplug the Ice Cream Freezer
