ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING: Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or contact Whynter Service Department.

This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC \~/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury. The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.

EXTENSION CORD

Because of potential safety hazards, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

STORAGE OF ICE CREAM

Remove the frozen mixture or finished ice cream into a clean and dry container using the plastic scoop. Do not use metal scoop as it can scratch the removable mixing bowl.

Fruit based ice creams, sorbets and sherbets are only truly luscious when they still have the just picked flavor that time so rapidly destroys. That is why no commercial fruit ice, sherbets or ice cream can ever be as good as freshly home-made. For fruit ices, sherbets or ice creams to have a long freezer life, the fruits must be cooked, thereby destroying their freshness. If your creations are consumed in a short time frame, you can use uncooked fruit purees for a much better flavor.

Ice cream mixtures can be as simple as pureed fruit, sugar and cream, Philadelphia-style, or based on more complicated cooked custards, French style. Both are delicious, though French versions are slightly richer. The recipes which follow are for both kinds. All use rich, heavy cream. If you prefer a lighter, lower-calorie mixture, substitute milk (whole or skim) or even yogurt for the cream in any of these recipe. Always sample the mixtures before freezing and adjust to your own taste.

Use these simple recipes as an inspiration for your own favorite ice creams. If you like a little crunch, add a cup of chopped nuts, chocolate chips or candy to a quart of mixture either before or after freezing, depending on whether you want the crunch to be frozen, too. You can also add chopped fruit, fresh or dried, shredded coconut, even marshmallows. It's better to add these soft things at the end so they do not get icy.

Some user tips for your ice cream maker:

• Our freezing bowl is approved for food safety.
• DO NOT USE SHARP OBJECTS OR UTENSILS INSIDE THE MIXING BOWL! Sharp objects will scratch and damage the inside of the bowl. A rubber spatula or wooden spoon may be used when the appliance is in the off position.
  • The temperature of the ingredients should be between 77^irc F ( 25^irc C) and 41^irc F ( -5^irc C).
• Please note that our ice cream makers are a self-contained, compressor operated unit which no pre-freezing and salt required. All you need to do is to put the refrigerated mixture into the removable mixing bowl and the unit will freeze the mixture.

TO CLEAN AND SANITIZE BATCH BOWL, PADDLE AND LID

The batch bowl, mixing paddle, and lid must be cleaned and sanitized before initial use and after each use, unless unit is going to be used again within one hour. Failure to do so may allow residue of processed material to collect on the internal seals of the drive assembly, rendering them ineffective.

NOTE: In repetitive batch-processing applications, cleaning the batch bowl between batches will prolong the life of the drive assembly.

WASH

Use only low-foaming powdered detergents formulated for cleaning dishware and cooking utensils. These products can be purchased from restaurant and commercial food service suppliers. Follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions.

1. Remove lid, batch bowl and paddle from unit.
2. Hand-wash the batch bowl with detergent. Do not put batch bowl in the dishwasher.
3. The lid and mixing paddle can be washed by hand or in a commercial dishwasher. Use the brush to clean inside the bottom hole of the mixing paddle before placing in the dishwasher.
4. Pre-clean stubborn food deposits with brush and presoak in the detergent solution if necessary.

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative

RINSE

Use only wear to rinse.

SANITIZE

Use regular, unscented bleach diluted with water between 50^irc F and 120^irc F. The sanitizing dilutions are based on the hypochlorite concentration of the bleach. The dilutes for 2 commonly available bleach concentrations are:

• Hypochlorite: 5.25%–3 teaspoons bleach per gallon of water

• Hypochlorite 8.25%–2 teaspoons bleach per gallon of water

• Wet a soft cloth or sponge with a bleach dilution listed above.

• Wipe down interior and exterior of lid, bowl, and mixing paddle.
• Place bowl into freezing chamber, install paddle, and fill with sanitizing solution to above the mixing paddle. Cover with lid (to prevent splashing) and run on MIXING ONLY mode for 2 minutes. Empty bowl.
• Immerse lid in sanitizing solution and soak for 2 minutes.

AIR DRY

Do not rinse after sanitizing is completed. Drain sanitizing solution and allow parts to air-dry.

TO CLEAN AND SANITIZE HOUSING BASE AND FREEZING CHAMBER

The housing and freezing chamber must be cleaned and sanitized before first use, and whenever unit has come into contact with food. Remove the vent cover on the rear of the unit.

1. To clean: Wipe down exterior housing and freezing chamber with wet cloth. Remove and clean under the vent cover if necessary.
2. To sanitize; Wipe entire exterior housing and freezing chamber with a soft cloth or sponge that has been dampened with sanitizing solution* and wrung out to avoid any excess solution running into housing vents in base. DO NOT IMMERSE HOUSING IN WASHING SOLUTION, RINSE WATER OR SANITIZING SOLUTION.
3. Allow to air-dry.
4. Reinstall the vent cover on the rear of the unit.

*Use only sanitizing solutions recommended above.
