How To Use
Before First Use:
1. Read all instructions and important safeguards.
2. Remove all packaging materials and make sure items have been received in
good condition.
3. Tear up all plastic bags, as they can pose a risk to children.
4. Wash the lid, freezer canister and all accessories in warm soapy water.
5. Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly.
6. Wipe electric motor with a damp cloth.
7. Assemble hand crank by attaching handle and crank using the screw
provided.
8. Pour water (about 2/3 full) into the wooden bucket and leave in the sink or
water-safe area for one and a half hours. This will give the wood a chance
to expand so that the salt/ice mixture will not leak out during the freezing
process.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Do not immerse the base, cord or plug in water at any time.
How to Use:
1. Select your favorite recipe, prepare ingredients per recipe instructions.
2. Pour chilled ice cream mixture into chilled ice cream canister (fill no
more than 2/3 full as mixture will expand during freezing process).
3. Insert the dasher and make sure the bottom of dasher is fixed in the
center of the bottom of the canister. (Figure 1)
4. Place the lid on the canister. (Figure 2)

How To Use
9. If you are using the electric motor, plug the power cord into a functioning
electrical outlet.
10. It is best to work in a water-safe area, placing the wooden bucket in a sink
or over several towels before you begin to add ice and salt. Fill the wooden
bucket with a small layer of ice (about 6 cups), evenly distributed around
the base of the canister. Be sure that the ice you put into the bucket is
broken into small, coarse pieces. You may use a mallet or hammer to
break into smaller pieces if needed. For each batch of ice cream, expect to
use 3-4 medium bags of ice or most of a 20 lb. bag.
11. Cover the first layer of ice evenly with a thin layer of rock salt (about 1/2
cup).
12. Repeat steps 10 and 11, layering the ice and salt until it reaches the top of
the canister. Stop when the top of the mixture reaches the bottom of the
drainage hole on the side of the wood bucket. Adding more ice will cause
the mixture to leak out of the drainage hole.
13. Add cold water to the ice-salt mixture until the water level reaches the
bottom of the drain hole.
14. As the ice melts down 2 to 3 inches, you may add more ice and more rock
salt to the mixture.
15. Begin cranking with the hand crank mechanism or turn on the electric
motor. As the canister turns, stir and mix the salt and ice together. Use
the plastic stirrer every 10-15 minutes, or as needed while the ice cream
maker is in use.

the open end where the latch is (Figure 5c). You may
need to rotate the canister by hand so that the lid fits into
the motor/hand crank (Figure 5b). Gently lift the latch so
that the wire goes over the rounded end of the hand crank
or motor.
7. Place the canister in the wooden bucket and make sure it
engages the cone in the center of the bucket. (Figure 4)

Helpful Tips
• For each batch of ice cream, expect to use approx. 20 lbs. of ice (1 large size
bag).
• Many ice cream recipes call for raw eggs. To eliminate salmonella from your
egg mixture, heat it to a temperature of 160°F, but do not boil it. This will
make the ice cream safe to eat. You may also use pasteurized eggs in place of
raw eggs.
• Be sure to chill mixture prior to adding to canister.
• To avoid ice cream seeping out of the canister, do not lay the canister flat
when storing in a freezer.
• For ice cream recipes that require pre-cooking, it is recommended that you
make the mixture a day ahead. The mixture will then be able to cool
completely and expand. Pre-chilling any ice cream recipe is suggested for
achieving the best results.
• Artificial sweeteners may be substituted for sugar. Use the following
measurements as a reference:
1 packet of sweetener = 2 tsp. sugar
6 packets = 1/4 cup
8 packets = 1/3 cup
12 packets = 1/2 cup
• The churning process should take about 40-60 minutes.
16. Unplug and remove motor or hand crank once ice cream has churned about
40 minutes, or once the motor has stopped (if the motor has stopped
prematurely, turn it off, break up any ice blockages with the plastic stirrer
and start again).
17. With one hand pushing down on the canister lid, remove the motor or hand
crank from the wooden bucket. Be careful, as the canister will have a
tendency to float upward in the ice-water mixture.
18. Clear the ice and salt away from the top of the ice cream canister. Wipe
carefully to remove the salt and water before removing the cover.
19. Remove the lid. Take the dasher out and scrape off excess ice cream with a
spatula.
20. Transfer to a freezable container and freeze, or serve straight from the
canister.

Troubleshooting
My ice cream
turned out soft
or runny.
Home-made ice cream traditionally has the consistency of a thick
milkshake. If you prefer a firmer consistency, you can:
• Remove the dasher and place the lid and lid cap on the mixing
canister. Place in freezer until hardened. You can also leave
the canister in the wooden bucket, remove dasher, replace lid
and lid cap and add more ice to the salt-ice mixture. Cover
with a towel and let it sit until the ice cream is firm.
• For fluffier ice cream, once the electric motor has finished
churning, you may remove it and use the hand crank to
churn the ice cream to a creamier consistency.
• The richer the cream you use, the richer the ice cream will
be. Whipped heavy cream is suggested for the creamiest,
smoothest ice cream. Milk can also be substituted for cream,
but it will alter the consistency of your ice cream. You
might also consider using a combination of milk and cream
for healthier ice cream.
• Recipes that call for alcohol may inhibit the freezing
process. If you are using an ice cream recipe that calls for
alcohol, peppermint or vanilla extract (which contains
alcohol), it is best to add it during the last few minutes of the
freezing cycle.
• Pay close attention to the amount of rock salt used during
the making of your ice cream. Using too little salt may
inhibit the freezing of your ice cream mixture. Read the
instructions in the section titled “How to Use” for more details.
The texture of
my ice cream is
too hard or
grainy.
A hard or grainy ice cream texture may be due to one of
the following causes:
• Take care that once you start churning your ice cream,
you DO NOT stop. Stopping for any length of time
while churning can cause large ice crystals to form in
the mixture, which will give your ice cream a grainy
texture.
• Pay close attention to the amount of rock salt used
during the making of your ice cream. Adding too much
salt can cause the mixture to freeze too quickly, which
may lead tothe formation of ice crystals in your ice
cream. Read the instructions in the section titled “How
to Use” for more details.
The salt-water
mixture leaked
out of the
wooden bucket.
Before using the ice cream maker, it is necessary to soak the
wooden bucket in water for at least an hour and a half. This
allows the wood to expand and prevents leaks. To do so, simply
fill up the bucket (about 2/3 full) and let it sit in the sink or
other water-safe area for an hour and a half. Pour out the water
and the bucket is ready to use
!

Troubleshooting

The canister or
dasher
jammed/stopped
turning during
the churning
process.
Jamming of the canister or dasher can be due to one of
the following causes:
• Ice may have caused a blockage in the wooden
bucket. Turn off the motor and make sure that the
ice in the bucket is broken up into small, coarse
pieces. The plastic stirrer provided can be used to
break up any blockages that may occur.
• If the mixture has become too thick, the dasher may
become stuck. The mixture in the canister should
never become thicker than the consistency of softserve ice cream.
• If there are hard pieces in the mixture, such as nuts
or chocolate chips, they may cause the dasher to
become lodged in the canister. It is best to add any
such ingredients to your ice cream after the churning
process is complete. Another option is to use finely
chopped ingredients, such as grated chocolate in
place of chocolate chips.
• Be sure than once you start churning your ice cream,
you DO NOT stop. Stopping can cause the ice cream
to freeze around the edge of the canister, which will
restrict the movement of the dasher and may cause it
to become stuck.
• If the dasher becomes stuck, check to see if the
mixture has frozen around the inside edges of the
mixing canister. If it has, use a plastic spoon or
spatula to scrape the edges of the canister. The
dasher should function normally once the edges have
been cleared.
My ice cream
mixture tasted
fine, but after
freezing it my ice
cream does not
taste the same.
Actual ice cream will always taste less sweet than the mixture.
You may adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe to your taste,
keeping in mind that after the freezing process, the sweetness
of the ice cream will be lessened.
My ice cream
went bad when I
stored it in the
freezer.
Because home-made ice cream lacks many of the preservatives
that come in store-bought ice cream, it does not store as well.
Usually home-made ice cream will last about one week when
stored in a freezer.
• To keep ice cream its freshest, place it in an
airtight plastic container before storing it in
the freezer.
