Frequently Asked Questions - YM-2603 TRISTAR

How to freeze the cooling bowl before using the ice cream maker?

Place the cooling bowl in the coldest part of your freezer (usually at the bottom) at a temperature of at least -18 °C. Make sure it is upright. The bowl must remain in the freezer for at least 8 hours so that the cooling liquid is completely frozen.

How to check if the bowl is sufficiently frozen?

Gently shake the cooling bowl. If the cooling liquid inside the double wall makes no sound, it is sufficiently frozen. If it makes a sound, extend the freezing time.

What is the maximum operating time of the appliance?

The recommended operating time is 20 to 40 minutes, but never exceed 1 hour of continuous use.

Why does my ice cream maker make an abnormal noise?

The motor is equipped with a reducer, which makes the appliance turn slowly and can produce a louder noise than expected. This is normal and does not indicate a defect.

How to get a firmer ice cream with this ice cream maker?

Transfer the ice cream from the cooling bowl to an airtight container using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Place this container in the freezer for several hours until the ice cream hardens.

Can I put the parts of the ice cream maker in the dishwasher?

No. The cooling bowl, stirrer, and lid must be washed by hand with warm soapy water. The motor unit should only be cleaned with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor unit and do not put any parts in the dishwasher.

Do not grab it with your hands! First unplug from the electrical outlet before removing the appliance. Then, have it checked by a professional before reusing it.

The appliance is covered by a warranty of 24 months from the date of purchase (upon presentation of the receipt). Manufacturing defects are covered. Damages caused by misuse or normal wear are not covered.

Can I use the ice cream maker without having frozen the bowl beforehand?

No, it's impossible. The cooling bowl must be necessarily frozen for at least 8 hours before each use, because it provides the cooling necessary for the ice cream to set.

How to clean the motor unit without damaging it?

Use a damp cloth (not wet) to wipe the motor unit. Never immerse it in water and do not use abrasive products. Make sure it is completely dry before storing or reusing it.
