ADDITIONAL SAFETY

INFORMATION

Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. It is equipped with a 3-wire cord
having a grounded plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
which is properly installed and grounded. Warning: Improper use of the
grounded wire can result in the risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician if necessary. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by
modifying plug.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. If it is necessary to
use an extension cord, it should be positioned such that it does not
drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by chil­dren or tripped over and:

a: Use only 3-wire extension cord with 3-blade grounding plug.

b: The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or

greater then the rating of this appliance. The electrical rating is
listed on the bottom of this unit.

Do let this appliance continue to operate if it malfunctions in any way.
Immediately turn the Timer to the off position and unplug the cord from
the outlet.

Do not use the dasher motor continuously for more that 60 minutes
at a time. Most frozen desserts will be done between 20 and 40
minutes. Check back during this time for desired consistency.
Let the motor rest for 60 minutes in-between cycles.

IMPORTANT: This unit contains a compressor for chilling purposes.
During transportation and handling it is possible that the unit was
turned on its side or upside down. The Refrigerant and Oil in the
compressor must separate again before using. Allow the unit to sit
correctly for 12 hours before using. This must be done anytime the unit
has been on its side or upside down.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, always unplug Frozen
Dessert Maker’s Dasher Motor before inserting or removing Dasher.

Before Your First Use

Carefully unpack your dessert maker and remove all packaging
materials. Wash the dasher, dasher stem, transparent cover and remov­able bucket, in warm soapy water. Do not place any components in the
dishwasher. Do not immerse the compressor housing or dasher motor in
water or any other liquid; simply wipe the housing with a damp cloth.
The fixed bucket can be cleaned with a damp cloth, but ensure that it is
completely dry before using.

Disassembling Your Frozen

Dessert Maker

Helpful Hints

1 Do not store frozen desserts or drinks in the removable bowl.

Desserts and drinks will stick to the side of the removable bowl and
may cause damage. Store only in a plastic airtight container.

2 You can store the desserts frozen for a limited period, in a plastic

airtight container, however keeping it too long will reduce its quality
and flavor. After one or two weeks the structure of ice cream
deteriorates and the fresh taste is lost. Several rules should be
followed to store the desserts in a freezer:

a. Maintain a minimum freezer temperature of 0° F.

b. Mark the prepared date and type of dessert on the container.

c. Do not refreeze and consume the desserts which have totally

or partly defrosted.

3 If adding fruit always do so after the base has begun to thicken,

usually after the first 15 minutes of processing. If the fruit is added to
the base while it is still in its liquid form it will prevent the base from
thickening to the proper consistency. Also, if using fresh fruit that
has not been cooked it will tend to become as hard as an ice cube
after it has been stored in the freezer. Smaller pieces of fruit that
have been precooked to eliminate some of the moisture content
are recommended.

4 If you want creamier ice cream use different types of cream or milk.

The higher the fat content of the base, the creamier your dessert will
be. Most restaurants use a specialty cream that contains 40% fat.
This can usually be found in specialty stores. Fat contents of various
dairy products are as follows:

a. Manufacturing cream – 40% fat (specialty stores)
b. Heavy Cream - 36%
c. Light Whipping Cream - 30%
d. Light Cream 18%
e. Half and Half 11%
f. Whole Milk 8%

5 Always make sure your sugar is completely dissolved, if it's not,

ice will form around the sugar crystal.

6 If the recipe you are preparing needs to be cooked on the stove

prepare it 24 hours in advance. This will allow you to store the base
in the refrigerator and have it properly chilled for processing.

7 Temperature and thickness of the base is the number one factor in

determining processing time. A well chilled base can be completed
in as little as 20 minutes
