• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked on
the appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when your

‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such
appliances should always be returned to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for adjustment or repair if required.

device (RCD) with a tripping current not
exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit

Before using your frozen dessert
maker
Using your frozen dessert maker
1. Before using your frozen dessert maker
for the first time, ensure that all packing
material is removed.
2. Wash the freezer canister, pouring hole
Cover, Interconnecting canister latches and
paddle in warm soapy water. Be sure to
rinse and dry all parts thoroughly.
3. Place freezer canister in the centre of the
bottom canister Latch. Pull bottom canister
latch upwards until connecting tabs click
into place. Use the oval symbol on the
freezer canister and oval cutout on bottom
canister latch as a guide to alignment.

4. Next, position Top Canister Latch on top of
Bottom Canister Latch and click into place.
5. It is important when making frozen
desserts that the freezer canister is
properly frozen. The frozen dessert maker
features a double insulated bowl which
requires thorough freezing. For best results,
the freezer canister should be wrapped in a
plastic bag and placed upright in the back
of the freezer, where the temperature is
the coldest. Wrapping the freezer canister
with a plastic bag will prevent odours from
within the freezer, seeping into the freezer
canister. 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 favourite frozen dessert at a
moment’s notice.
