ADDITIONAL SAFETY

INFORMATION

NOTICE: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt
to defeat this safety feature.

CAUTION: This appliance is for household use. Any servicing other than
cleaning and user maintenance should be performed by an authorized
service representative.

1 Do not immerse the Motor Housing in water or any other liquid.

2 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to

disassemble the motor base as it does not contain any user­serviceable parts. Repairs should be made only by authorized
personnel.

3 Only use this appliance in a 120V AC outlet.

4 Never clean with abrasive cleaners or steel wool; only use nylon

cleaning utensils. Do not place any parts in the dishwasher.

Before Your First Use

Wash the Transparent Cover, Freezer Bowl and Mixing Arm in warm,
soapy water to remove any residual dust or oils from the manufacturing
and shipping process. DO NOT clean any of the parts with abrasive
cleaners or steel wool.

Preparing Your Freezer Bowl

The Freezer Bowl must be completely frozen prior to using your dessert
maker. It takes the Freezer Bowl approximately 8 – 22 hours to be frozen
solid. To ensure your Bowl is frozen prior to use, shake it and listen for
liquid moving around. Always ensure that your Freezer Bowl is
completely dry prior to placing in your freezer.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury,
including the following:

1 READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

2 To protect against risk of electric shock, do not place cord, plug,

or base of appliance in water or any other liquid.

3 Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or

near children.

4 Always unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or

taking off parts, and before cleaning.

5 Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well

as spatulas and other utensils away during operation to reduce the
risk of injury and/or damage to the appliance.

6 Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or

after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any
manner. Return the appliance to the nearest repair center for
examination, repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment.

7 The use of attachments not recommended by W.P. Appliances, Inc.

may cause fire, electric shock or risk of injuries.

8 Do not use outdoors.

9 Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch

hot surfaces.

10 Keep hands and utensils out of Freezer Bowl while in use to reduce

the risk of injury to persons or to the appliance itself.

11 DO NOT USE SHARP OBJECTS OR UTENSILS INSIDE THE

FREEZER BOWL! Sharp objects will scratch and damage the inside
of the freezer bowl. Only use nylon or rubber spatulas, or wooden
spoons once the motor housing has been removed from the
Freezer Bowl.

12 Do not use the Freezer Bowl on flames, hot plates or stoves. Do

not expose to heat source. Do not wash any parts in a dishwasher;
doing so may cause risk of fire, electric shock or injury.

Assembling Your Frozen

Dessert Maker

Unlike other frozen dessert makers in the marketplace,
the Freezer Bowl of your Wolfgang Puck Dessert
Maker also serves as the housing. This allows the
Motor Housing to sit directly on top of the Freezer
Bowl during the mixing process, making it
compact for storage, yet still providing for up to

1.5 quarts of ingredients.

To Assemble:

1 Do not remove your Freezer Bowl from your

freezer until all of your ingredients have been
prepared and are ready to pour into the Bowl.

2 Remove the cover from the Insulated case

and place the frozen Freezer Bowl in the case.
Place the case with freezer bowl on a stable
level surface.

3 Add your ingredients to the frozen

Freezer Bowl.

4 Place the transparent cover underneath the

motor housing by sliding it forward until all three
lock positions are properly in place (see figures 1
and 2).

5 Place the mixing arm on the stem of the motor

housing and guide it into the Freezer Bowl.

6 You will notice three nubs on the transparent

cover. There are also three indentations on the rim
of the Freezer Bowl. Line up the nubs of the cover
to the indentations on the black rim of the Freezer
Bowl (see figure 3). Press down on the Motor
Housing until all nubs on the transparent cover are
fully recessed into the black rim on the Freezer
Bowl.

7 Plug your motor housing into a 120V AC outlet.

Helpful Hints

1 Do not store frozen desserts or drinks in the freezer bowl in the

freezer for more then 30 minutes. Desserts and drinks will stick to
the side of the Freezer Bowl and may cause damage. Store only in a
plastic airtight container. You can store desserts in the Freezer Bowl
only if the Freezer Bowl is placed in the Insulated Case and kept out
of the freezer. Do not place frozen desserts directly in the Insulated
Case, use the Freezer Bowl or other appropriately-sized
storage container.

2 You can store frozen desserts for a limited period. Storing too long

will reduce quality and flavor. After one or two weeks the structure
of ice cream deteriorates and the fresh taste is lost. Several guide­lines should be followed when storing desserts in a freezer:

a. Finished frozen desserts can be kept in the Freezer Bowl in a

freezer for no more than 30 minutes at a time. Transfer frozen
desserts to an airtight container for longer storage in the freezer.

b. Maintain a minimum temperature of 0° F.

c. Mark the prepare date and type of desserts on the container

d. Do not refreeze and consume desserts which have totally or

partially 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 Use different types of cream or milk for creamier ice cream. 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 sugar is completely dissolved. If it's not,

ice will form around the sugar crystals.
