Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

How to Make Ice Cream

NOTE: ALWAYS freeze freezer bowl in freezer and chill prepared mixture in refrigerator before churning.

Freezer Temperature	Minimum Time for Freezer Bowl to Freeze
-22°F (-30°C)	8 to 9 hours
-13°F (-25°C)	12 to 13 hours
0°F (-18°C)	20 to 22 hours
5°F (-15°C)	24 hours or more

Freeze freezer bowl.

Prepare mixture. NOTE: Do not use more than 1 quart of recipe mixture. Ice cream needs room to expand.

Chill mixture in refrigerator.

To assemble lid and motor housing, align the two locking tabs on motor housing with openings on lid. Snap into place.

Place freezer bowl in base immediately after it is removed from freezer.

Insert mixing paddle into motor housing.

How to Make Ice Cream (cont.)

Pour chilled mixture into unit through the lid opening. NOTE: To allow mixture to expand to 1-1/2 quarts (6 cups/1.5 L) while churning, do not use more than 1 quart (4 cups/1 L) of recipe mixture in ice cream maker at a time.

When churning is finished, press switch to OFF. It may take from 20 to 40 minutes for mixture to freeze. NOTE: When motor repeatedly stalls and reverses, the mixture has reached maximum freezing.

Unplug from outlet.

Remove lid. Transfer frozen mixture to an airtight container and store in freezer.

Tips for Best Results

• During the freezing process, you can add finely chopped or pureed ingredients such as chocolate, raisins, nuts, etc., through the opening in the lid. Alcohol should not be added until near the end of the process since it significantly slows down the freezing process.
• The machine will run for 20 to 40 minutes. Do not turn ice cream maker off during this time. The mixture may freeze to the walls and prevent the mixing paddle from turning. See Troubleshooting if your unit did not make ice cream in 60 minutes.
• If mixing paddle becomes blocked, it will reverse and continue to turn in the opposite direction. When motor repeatedly stalls and reverses, the mixture has reached maximum freezing.
• Add mix-ins, such as chocolate chips or chopped nuts, after ice cream has churned for at least 15 minutes or when mixture is thick and has started to freeze.
• The finished result is a soft, spoonable ice cream.
  Homemade ice cream will not be the same consistency as hard, store-bought ice cream.

• Ice cream tastes best when fresh. It will begin to lose its fresh taste after 1 to 2 weeks in the freezer.

• Keep the freezer bowl in the freezer so that you can make ice cream, chill wine, or serve ice cubes at any time.

• For best results, the freezer bowl must be frozen thoroughly. Make sure to set your freezer at the coldest setting (temperature should not be more than 0^ [-18^] ).
• Firmness of ice cream depends on variables such as the recipe used, room temperature, and temperature of ingredients before churning.
• Some recipes require the mixture to be precooked. Make the recipe at least one day ahead. This will allow the mixture to cool completely and increase volume. Base mixture may not freeze if it is not thoroughly chilled.
• Do not remove freezer bowl from the freezer until ready to use.
• Do not puncture or heat the freezer bowl.
• To allow mixture to expand to 1-1/2 quarts (6 cups/1.5 L) while churning, do not use more than 1 quart (4 cups/1 L) of recipe mixture at a time.

Cleaning

Squeeze locking tabs and remove motor housing from lid.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard.

Disconnect power before cleaning.

Do not immerse motor housing or cord in any liquid.

Wipe motor housing with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in water or other liquid.

Wash lid, base, mixing paddle, and freezer bowl in sink. Do not place any part of the ice cream maker in dishwasher.

WARNING! Shock Hazard.

Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not immerse motor housing or cord in any liquid.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM

Ice cream is not firm enough or ice cream maker is still running after 60 minutes.

Ice cream maker stops churning before ice cream is ready.

PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

• The freezer bowl was not in the freezer long enough (preferably overnight).
• The freezer is not cold enough. Ice cream sets at 10^ to 14^ F (-12^ to -10^ C). If the freezer is not at 0^ F (-18^ C), the ice cream will not set.
• Too much mixture was put in freezer bowl. Maximum fill is 1 quart.
• Ingredients are warm or at room temperature.
• The freezer bowl was left at room temperature for more than 5 minutes before use.
• The freezer door was opened and closed too many times during the freezing process.

• The freezer bowl has a thick coating of ice on the walls. After washing, dry completely prior to placing back in freezer.

• Mix-in ingredients, such as chocolate chips or chopped nuts, added too soon. Wait until ice cream has churned for at least 15 minutes or until mixture is thick and has started to freeze before adding.

• The mix-in ingredients are too large causing the paddle to jam. Chop nuts or other ingredients before adding.
• Too large a quantity of mix-in ingredients have been added. Add one cup or less of mix-in ingredients.
