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 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.

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.

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.

-30°C/-22°F 8–9 hours

-25°C/-13°F 12–13 hours

-18°C/0°F 20–22 hours

-15°C/5°F 24 hours or more

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,

how To clean Your Ice cream maker

helpful hInTs

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.

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.

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!

• 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.

• Articial 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.

wasTe DIsposal

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.

The liquid in the Gel Canister contains no toxic materials.
Dispose as normal household waste.

HINT FOR LOWER-FAT RECIPES
For lower fat content, substitute 1% milk for whole milk, whole

milk for half and half; and evaporated skim milk for whipping
cream. Higher fat dairy products – such as whipping
cream – create a smooth, rich and creamy dessert. Lower fat
dairy products create a lighter dessert with a slightly different
texture.
