THE MACHINE MUST BE SWITCHED ON BEFORE ADDING THE ICE CREAM OR SORBET RECIPE TO PREVENT THE MIX FROM IMMEDIATELY FREEZING ON THE INSIDE OF THE INNER BOWL.

1. Use the chute and pour the ice cream or sorbet mix into the inner bowl. When pouring mixture into the bowl, always stop at least 5 cm (2 inch) from the top, as the mixture will increase in volume during freezing.

DURONIC

1. Allow the mixture to chum until frozen or the desired consistency is reached. This can take up to 15 to 30 minutes, but most recipes will be ready in less time.

2. Do not stop and start the machine during the freezing process, as the mixture may freeze in contact with the bowl and prevent movement of the paddle.
   • To avoid overheating the motor, the direction of rotation will change if the mixture becomes too thick. If the direction of rotation continues to change, stop the machine when the mixture is ready.

3. In the unlikely event of the motor overheating, a safety cut out will operate causing the motor to stop. If this happens, unplug the machine and allow the power unit to cool.

4. For the best result of ice cream, the paddle will contact with the inside of the inner bowl when the paddle moves.

5. 'Mien the setting time is over, the machine is stopped automatically, unplug the machine and remove the power uniVlid. The ice cream is ready to serve.

The ice cream produced should be a soft spoonable type. This can be transferred to a separate container for storage in the freezer or if you wish to firm the ice cream before eating.

Important

• Do not use metal utensils to remove mix from the bowl.
• Do not remove the inner bowl from the freezer until ready to make ice cream.

We suggest that you keep the inner bowl in the freezer so that it is ready for use. Place in a plastic bag before freezing. Freeze the inner bowl in the upright position. Always make sure the inner bowl is thoroughly dry before placing in the freezer.

Do not puncture or heat the inner bowl.

The inner bowl should be placed in a freezer that is operating at a temperature of -18°C (-0.40°Fahrenheit) or below for 8 hours before use.

For best results always refrigerate the ingredients before making ice cream. The addition of alcohol to recipes inhibits the freezing process.
