This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.

Usage Tips
- Firmness of ice cream depends on variables such as the recipe used, room temperature and temperature of ingredients before churn-freezing.
- Remember that artificial sweetener can be used as a substitute for sugar. Only add artificial sweeteners to mixtures that are cold or have completely cooled. When a recipe calls for heating liquid to dilute sugar, omit the heating process and simply stir in the sweetener until it is well dissolved.
1 packet sweetner = 2 teaspoons (10 ml) sugar
6 packets = 1 / 4 cup (60 ml)
8 packets = 1 / 3 cup (80 ml)
12 packets = 1 / 2 cup (125 ml)
Some recipes require the mixture to be pre-cooked. Make the recipe at least one day ahead. This will allow the mixture to cool completely and increase volume. Pre-chilling the base mixture is strongly recommended. Never try to shortcut the cooling time.
If recipe exceeds the FILL LINE, ice cream will overflow the canister.
How to Make Ice Cream
- You will need approximately 8 to 12 pounds of ice and 3 cups of rock salt to make ice cream.
Optional: An additional 4 pounds of ice and 1 cup of rock salt are needed to harden the ice cream. - Before First Use: Wash ice cream maker parts according to "Cleaning" instructions.
- Prepare one of the suggested recipes or one of your own favorites. You can use any recipe for ice cream, frozen yogurt, or frozen dessert.
- Pour ice cream mixture into canister.

Insert dasher into center of canister.
NOTE: Cooked recipes will need to be chilled before churning.
- Place cover onto canister. Make sure cover is snapped firmly onto canister.
- Place filled canister in center of bucket.
- Assemble motor over canister with dasher shaft inserted into the hole in the bottom of the motor. Turn motor counter clockwise to engage and lock the motor onto the bucket.
NOTE: Place ice cream maker in kitchen sink or another area that has good drainage.
8. Plug power cord into outlet. The canister and cover will turn together. Allow ice cream to churn for 1 to 2 minutes before adding ice to bucket.
- Distribute 1-2 inches

s of ice around the canister in the bucket.
Uniformly sprinkle 12 cup rock salt over layer of ice.
Continue adding layers of ice and salt
until canister is covered.
- Ice cream will churn for 20 to 40 minutes. Ice cream is ready when motor stops or nearly stops.
- Unplug unit from outlet. Remove motor by turning it clockwise. Remove any salt, ice, or water from cover before removing the cover. Lift out dasher and scrape clean with rubber spatula.
- Optional: To harden ice cream, make sure ice cream is packed into canister then replace cover on canister. Insert storage plug into hole in the cover.
- Drain water from bucket through the drain hole.
- Add additional layers of ice and salt to bucket, covering canister and cover.
- For additional insulation, cover bucket with a towel or newspaper. Allow ice cream to harden for one to two hours. Hardening time varies with the type of ice cream as well as the air temperature.
- Ice cream may also be hardened by: (a) placing covered canister in a home freezer for several hours OR
(b) placing ice cream into a plastic container that allows room for expansion and then placing in home freezer.
Storing Ice Cream
Although ice cream can be stored in the freezer for a short period, a lengthy period of storage is not beneficial for either the taste or the quality of the ice cream. After one or two weeks, the texture starts to deteriorate and the fresh taste is lost. Ice cream tastes best when it is fresh. Should you wish to store ice cream in the freezer, follow these tips:
- Store the ice cream in a clean, well-sealed container that is suitable for freezing.
Storage temperature must be 0^ (-18^) or lower.
- Attach a label to the container with the date when it was made and the kind of ice cream it is.
- Defrosted or semi-defrosted ice cream must never be put back in the freezer.
Remove ice cream from freezer about thirty minutes before serving and place it in the refrigerator. Or bring it up to serving temperature by allowing it to stand for ten or fifteen minutes at room temperature.
Storage chart
| Ice cream from non-boiled ingredients up to | 1 week |
| Sorbets | 1 to 2 weeks |
| Ice cream from half-boiled ingredients | up to 2 weeks |
Cleaning Ice Cream Maker
- Unplug unit from electrical outlet. Wipe motor with a damp cloth.
- Wash storage plug, cover, dasher, canister, and bucket in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NOTE: If left to air dry, water spots may appear on the canister.
Troubleshooting
| PROBLEM | Things TO CHECK |
| Unit does not stop churning. | ·The unit may not stop churning when making less than the FILL LINE level. ·Recipe was not followed correctly. ·Ratio of ice and salt was not correct. Correct amount of salt must be used for ice cream to freeze. |
| Ice is jammed. | ·Unplug unit from electrical outlet. Turn canister in ice to free jammed ice. Plug in unit to restart. |
| Salty tasting ice cream. | ·Always remove all salt, ice, and water from cover before attempting to remove the cover from the canister. Do not allow salt, ice, and water to seep into the canister and ruin the ice cream. |
| Poor drainage. | ·Make sure drain hole is not blocked with ice or salt. |
| "Lumpy" ice cream. | ·For smooth ice cream, additional ice and salt should be added as the ice melts to keep the canister covered with ice and salt. |
| Ice cream overflows canister during churning. | ·Ice cream mixture expands when frozen. If recipe exceeds the FILL LINE, ice cream will overflow canister. |
| Cover turns, canister does not tum. | ·Ensure cover is fully locked on canister. |
