6. Switch for 1 or 2 bowls

A. Preparing the freezer bowls

• Wash and dry the freezer bowls before placing them in the freezer.
• Wrap the bowls in plastic bags to prevent freezer burn.
• The time required to freeze will depend on the temperature of your freezer (approximately 24hrs).
• To determine whether the bowls are completely frozen, shake them. If you don’t hear the liquid moving, they are completely frozen.
• We recommend placing the freezer bowls in the back of your freezer compartment where it is coldest.
• Place the freezer bowls on a level surface in the upright position so that it freezes evenly. NB: For convenience, leave the freezer bowls in the freezer at all times. That way they’ll always be ready to use. The freezer bowls should be completely frozen before use. B. Assembling the ice cream maker
• Remove the freezer bowl(s) from the freezer and remove from their plastic bag(s).
• Place the freezer bowls on the centre of the base (1).
• The bowls should be used as soon as they are removed from the freezer.
• You should have your ingredients ready before you assemble the ice cream maker.
• Place the mixer arm(s) in the freezer bowl(s) (2). It should just rest in the middle of the bowl with the circle side facing up.
• Place the lid(s) on the base (3). Place the lid(s) slightly off centre and turn clockwise to lock in place.

C. Making Frozen Desserts or Drinks

• For best results, place the ingredients in a container from which they can easily be poured.
• Decide whether to use one or two bowls. If you decide to use just one bowl, use the right side of the unit. Always make this selection before turning on the ice cream maker.
• Press the ON/OFF button, the freezer bowl(s) will begin to turn.
• Immediately pour the ingredients through the spout(s). Do not fill the freezer bowl(s) to higher than 2cm from the rim as the freezing process will increase the volume of the ingredients.
• Ice cream, sorbets or frozen drinks will be ready in 20 to 30 minutes. The time of the preparation will depend on the recipe, the temperature and the volume you are making. For a firmer consistency, transfer the preparation to an airtight container and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
• If ice cream sticks to the arm, stop the machine briefly and, using a spatula, scrape the mixture from the arm and put it back in the freezer bowl. NB: Do not store frozen desserts or drinks in the freezer bowls. These will stick to the sides of the bowls and may damage it. Always transfer the mixture to a plastic airtight container.

D. Dismantling the Ice Cream Maker

• Remove the lid(s) from the base by turning slightly to unlock and lifting up.
• Gently lift the mixer arms to remove any excess mixture.
• Remove the freezer bowls from the base.
• Serve the preparation. For a firmer texture, transfer the mixture to an airtight container and place in the freezer.

4. ADVICE FROM THE CHEFS

• Your recipe should not be more than 0.5 litres of liquid per bowl because a larger volume will increase the risk your mixture will spill over the edge.
• Preparation time depends on the recipe, the amount being made and the temperature of the ingredients used.
• Before freezing the preparation, the mixture may be kept in the refrigerator for a maximum of 3 days (depending on the use-by dates of the ingredients used).
• Some recipes use pre-cooked ingredients. For best results, the mixture should be chilled overnight before using.
• Your Ice Cream Duo makes ice cream using pure, fresh ingredients, that is, without the preservatives and so on that you’d find in commercially produced ice creams. Therefore, they won’t have the same firm and creamy consistency. If you would like a firmer consistency, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving.

• For many recipes, you may substitute lower-fat creams and milks for the heavy cream and whole milk called for in the recipe.
• However, the higher the fat content of the ingredients, the richer and creamier the ice cream will be. Using light ingredients might affect the taste, consistency and texture of your frozen dessert or drink. When substituting ingredients, make sure you use the same quantity of the substitute as you would have used of the original ingredient.
• You may also substitute artificial sweeteners for sugar. If your recipe is to be precooked, add the sweetener after the ingredients are heated (after having cooked them). Mix thoroughly to dissolve the sweetener.
• When making a sorbet, check the ripeness and sweetness of the fruit before starting the recipe. The freezing process will reduce the sugar content of the fruit. So it won’t be as sweet once it is prepared. If the fruit is sour, add sugar to your mixture. If the fruit is very ripe or very sweet, reduce the amount of sugar called for in the recipe.
• Fill the freezer bowls to a maximum of 2cm below the rim. Bear this in mind when you add other ingredients.
• Well-chilled ingredients need a shorter mixing time.
• Mixing time may vary depending on the ingredients and the kind of recipe.
• Ingredients like chocolate chips and nuts should be added during the last 5 minutes of the mixing.
• As soon as the dessert or drink begins to thicken, add the ingredients through the spout.
• Nuts and other similar ingredients should be no bigger than chocolate chips.

5. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

• Always unplug the unit before cleaning it.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the base. Then dry. Never use abrasive cleaners and never immerse in water.
• To clean the freezer bowls, the lids and the mixer arms, use warm, soapy water. Dry all parts thoroughly before storing. Do not put these parts in the dishwasher. Never use abrasive cleansers or hard implements as these may damage the parts.
• Do not place the freezer bowls in the freezer if they are wet. Do not store the lids, the mixer arms or the base in the freezer. You may store the freezer bowls in the freezer, in the upright position for convenient, immediate use when you want them. Before placing the bowls in the freezer, wrap them in plastic

bags to prevent freezer burn.

• Do not store frozen desserts in the freezer bowls. To keep them in the freezer for longer periods, transfer the desserts to an airtight container.
