Before using your Snack Heroes™ Ice Cream Maker

1.Before using your ice cream maker for the first time, ensure that all packing material is removed.

2.Remove the motor base from the pouring hole cover. Wash the freezer canister, paddle, pouring hole cover and base in warm soapy water. Be sure to rinse and dry all parts thoroughly. Wipe the motor unit with a damp cloth.

3.It is important when making ice cream that the freezer canister is properly frozen. The ice cream maker features a double insulated bowl which requires thorough freezing. For best results wrap the freezer canister in a plastic bag and place upright in the back of the freezer, where it is 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 if fully frozen; 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 ice cream at a moment’s notice.

NOTE: The freezer temperature may vary depending on how many times it is opened throughout the day.

Using your Snack Heroes™ Ice Cream Maker

1.Slide the motor unit onto the pouring hole cover until it locks in place. Two tabs underneath will ‘click’ into place.

2.Insert the paddle extender into the motor unit opening.

3.Connect the paddle to the paddle extender.

4.Remove the freezer canister from freezer.

5.Place the freezer canister into the base.

6.Place the pouring hole cover onto the base so that all 4 locking tabs are aligned.

7.Rotate clockwise slightly until the tabs lock into place.

8.Insert the plug into the power outlet and turn the ice cream maker on immediately. This will prevent the paddle from freezing onto the freezer canister.

9.Pour the prepared ice cream mixture through the pouring hole into the freezer canister.

Using your Snack Heroes™ Ice Cream Maker (continued)

NOTE: It is extremely important that the freezer canister is used immediately after it is removed from the freezer as it begins to thaw once removed. Ensure the ice cream mixture is ready and well chilled, then remove the freezer canister from the freezer.

10.The ice cream maker process will take anywhere from 20-40 minutes. Do not turn appliance off during use as the mixture may freeze and prevent movement of the paddle.

NOTE: If after 40 minutes the mixture is not yet solid or has thawed again, do not continue. Possible reasons for the mixture

not freezing include: the freezer canister was not cold, the mixture was too warm, room temperature is quite warm or the proportion of the ingredients were incorrect.

11.To add ingredients after the mixture process has begun, gently add them through the pouring hole.

12.When the mixture has thickened and reaches the top of the paddle, the ice cream is completely prepared and the ice cream maker should be turned off. To avoid the motor overheating, the ice cream maker may turn itself off when the mixture has thickened and is ready.

13.Remove the paddle from the mixture.

14.Allow the mixture to sit in the freezer canister for 5 minutes before serving. Only use plastic, rubber or wooden utensils to serve from the freezer canister. Metal spoons may damage the bowl.

NOTE: At this stage your ice cream will be a spoonable consistency.

15.To further harden the mixture, transfer your ice cream into a clean, covered airtight container and place in the freezer.
