example, Heavy Cream contains a minimum of 36% fat, Light
Whipping Cream 30%, Light Cream 18%, and Half and Half 10%.
Always maintain the same overall quantity of liquid. For example,
the lightest ice cream can be made by using more milk than
cream, or by eliminating the cream altogether. You may also use
skimmed milk, but the texture of the ice cream will be very
different. If you decide not to use the amount of cream called for
in a recipe you will need to make up the difference with milk.
The frozen dessert recipe mixture can be kept in the refrigerator
for several days. Stir it well before pouring it into the cylinder.
Fill the cylinder no more than half full if using recipes not
contained within this Owner’s Manual. The mixture increases in
volume during preparation.
Alcoholic ingredients slow down the chilling process. Liqueurs
should be added only during the final minutes of preparation.
The flavor of sorbets depends largely on the degree of ripeness
and sweetness of the fruit and juice used. Taste the fruit before
adding it to the recipe. If it is too acidic, add sugar; if it is very
ripe, add less sugar or no sugar. Remember that cold reduces
sweetness.
Artificial sweeteners can be used in place of sugar. Add the
sweetener to the mixture and mix until completely dissolved.
Cooked mixtures must not be poured into the cylinder until they
are completely cold.
To sweeten the mixture during preparation, do not add sugar
directly into be cylinder (it will not dissolve). Instead, dissolve the
sugar in a little water or skimmed milk and pour the resulting
syrup (cooled) into the cylinder.
The fruit used in the recipes must always be washed and dried
before use. Even when not specified, fruit must always be peeled
and seeded.
When using raw eggs, make sure they are fresh.

Do not put any stress on the cord where it enters the unit, as it
could cause the cord to fray and break.
HELPFUL HINTS
Certain recipes involve cooking. Prepare them at least a day
ahead to ensure that they chill completely. It is recommended to
always chill the basic mixture.
For cold mixtures, the best results are obtained by beating the
eggs and sugar with an electric whisk. This helps increase the
volume.
The majority of recipes consist of cream, milk, eggs and sugar.
You may use whatever cream you wish, but the flavor and
texture will vary greatly according to the quality of cream chosen.
The higher the percentage of fat, the richer the ice cream, for
