Frequently Asked Questions - SECM 12 C7 SILVERCREST

How to prepare ice cream with the SilverCrest SECM 12 C7 ice cream maker?

Freeze the empty ice container for at least 24 hours at -18°C. Prepare the ice cream mixture (max 1 000 ml) and refrigerate it for 4 hours. Assemble the appliance, plug it in, turn it on, then pour the mixture through the filling opening. Let it run for about 40 minutes until desired consistency. Serve immediately or place in the freezer for a firmer consistency.

How long should the ice container be frozen before use?

The ice container must be frozen for at least 24 hours at a temperature of -18°C or colder, wrapped in a freezer bag to prevent frost deposits.

Can frozen fruits be used for the recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen fruits. Do not let them thaw completely; fruits that are still half frozen are easier to crush and will give a better result.

How to clean the ice cream maker?

Always unplug the appliance before cleaning. The motor unit is cleaned with a damp cloth, without immersion. The ice container must be at room temperature, cleaned with hot water (40°C) and mild dish soap. The stirrer and lid can go in the dishwasher. Other parts are washed by hand.

What to do if the appliance does not work or stops during use?

If the appliance stops, it may be due to overheating protection. Unplug the plug and wait at least 15 minutes for the motor to cool down. If the problem persists, consult the full user manual or contact customer service.

What is the maximum capacity of the ice cream maker?

The maximum ice cream mixture capacity is 1 000 ml (1 liter). Do not exceed this amount to avoid overflow or poor mixing.

Can raw eggs be used in recipes?

Yes, but with caution. Raw eggs may contain salmonella. Use fresh eggs, keep them refrigerated, and consume the ice cream quickly. For vulnerable people (children, elderly), prefer recipes without raw eggs.

How to avoid large ice crystals?

Use fine sugar (sugar prevents large crystal formation). Make sure the ice container and mixture are well chilled before starting. Do not stop and restart the appliance during preparation.

Can the appliance be used by children?

The appliance can be used by children over 8 years old under supervision. They must not play with the appliance or clean it without supervision. The cord must be out of reach of children under 8 years.

How to dispose of the ice cream maker at end of life?

The appliance and its packaging must be disposed of in accordance with local environmental regulations. The product is recyclable; do not throw it in household waste. Check with your local city hall or recycling center.

• Ice cream is an ideal breeding ground for salmonella. This is why special hygiene is required when making ice cream.
• The main source of salmonella in ice cream is raw eggs. Fresh raw eggs often contain traces of salmonella. Levels of salmonella may however increase dramatically with lengthy storage or insufficient cooling.
• This increase can also occur in the ice cream once it has been made or has thawed slightly. Freezing will not kill off salmonella.

• To make sure you can enjoy your ice cream without any worries, please observe the following tips on hygiene without fail:

• Do not cook recipes with raw eggs for people with a weak immune system (e.g. infants, the elderly or sick).

• When using recipes for ice cream involving raw eggs, make sure that the eggs are always fresh and have been kept in the refrigerator.
• When making ice cream, check that all work equipment is absolutely clean.
• Once you have made the ice cream, store in the refrigerator at once and do not leave there for more than 24 hours.
• Once made, ice cream should be eaten without delay. Ice made with fresh ingredients can only be stored in the freezer at -18^ for max. 1 week.
• Ice cream that has thawed out even slightly must not be refrozen under any circumstances.
• After making ice cream, the ice-cream maker and all work equipment should be cleaned thoroughly.

- To avoid injury and damage to the appliance, do not reach into the ice-cream maker when running and also make

sure you keep your hair, clothing and other items well away from it.

• Never touch the frozen bowl with wet hands.
• The bowl must be completely dry before being put into the freezer.
• Do not heat the bowl in excess of 40 °C.

- Hard or sharp objects (e.g. metal spoons) may damage the inside of the bowl. Only ever use rubber scrapers or wooden utensils when taking out the ice cream you have made.

- Switch the ice-cream maker on first and only add the mix you have prepared to the machine when running.

- While making ice cream do not switch the ice-cream maker off and then back on. The ice cream mix would otherwise freeze to the bowl and block the mixing blade.

- Never place the appliance on hot surfaces (e.g. a hob) or near sources of heat or naked flame.

- Only use genuine accessories.

- The appliance is fitted with non-slip silicone feet. As furniture is coated with various varnishes and plastics and may be treated with different cleaning products, it cannot be completely ruled out that some of these substances contain components which may attack and soften the silicone feet. If necessary, place a non-slip mat underneath the appliance.

- Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.

- All appliance accessories should be cleaned by hand. The mixing blade 5 and the lid 3 can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

- Should liquid leak from the housing of the bowl, the bowl must be discarded. Although this liquid is not toxic, it is unsuitable for consumption.

- The appliance includes protection from overheating. This will switch the appliance off to prevent the motor overheat-

ing. In this case unplug and wait until the motor has cooled down, at least for 15 minutes.

Making ice cream

General

Ingredients

• You will achieve a superior product above all by using fresh, high-quality ingredients.
• Dairy products with a high fat content (e.g. cream, crème fraîche, double cream, mascarpone) result in a creamy consistency and improve flavour.
• When following recipes in which the sugar is not dissolved make sure you use very fine sugar. Sugar will make the ice cream firmer and at the same time prevent the formation of large ice crystals.
• When using frozen fruit, it does not need to be completely defrosted. For example, it is easier to puree fruit when still half frozen.
• Ice cream will remain softer if alcohol is added.

Instructions

• Your ice cream will be particularly successful if you cool the bowl 6 and the prepared mix sufficiently beforehand.
• The ice cream produced will be soft and spoonable. Serve immediately. This is when it will taste best.
• If the ice cream has not become sufficiently firm after 40 or so minutes, put in the freezer until it has reached this firmness.

24 hours beforehand

Freeze bowl

The bowl 6 must be completely dry when you put it into the freezer.

1. Place the empty bowl 6 in a freezer bag and seal to prevent any deposits of ice.
2. Put the bowl 6 in the bag into the freezer for at least 24 hours (at min. -18 °C).
3. Only take the bowl 6 out of the freezer right before you are about to make the ice cream to ensure it is as cold as possible.

4 hours beforehand

Make ice mix

1. Prepare the ice mix according to the recipe. A mix of up to 1000 ml / 36 fl oz can be prepared in the bowl 6 at any one time.
2. Place the mix you have prepared in the refrigerator for approx. 4 hours.

Processing the ice cream in the ice-cream maker

NOTES:

• When being used for the first time, the appliance may give off an odour. This is due to the design of the appliance and is perfectly normal. Ensure sufficient ventilation in the room.

• Place the prepared ice cream mix into a container with a spout. This allows it to be poured more easily into the filling opening of the lid 3.

• Do not add the prepared mix to the bowl 6 until you have assembled the machine and switched it on. Otherwise the mix will freeze on the inside walls of the bowl 6.
  • Work swiftly so the bowl 6 and mix remain as cold as possible.

• Fit the motor unit 2 onto the lid 3 so it snaps into place.

• Insert the connecting piece 4 in the motor unit 2.

• Fit the mixing blade 5 to the connecting piece 4.
• Place the ring 7 on the container 8. The handles are positioned in the recesses of this container.
• Take the bowl 6 out of the freezer bag and place it on the ring 7.
• Place the lid 3 on the ring 7 and turn clockwise to secure.
• Insert the power plug 9 in the wall socket and move the 0/1 switch 1 to 1.

WARNING! Risk of material damage!

- While making ice cream do not switch the ice-cream maker off and then back on. The ice cream mix would otherwise freeze to the bowl 6 and block the mixing blade 5.

1. Now pour the prepared mix into the bowl 6 through the opening.

2. Leave the machine on until the ice cream has the required consistency.

NOTE: If the ice cream has not become sufficiently firm after 40 or so minutes, put in the freezer until it has reached this firmness.

1. Move the 0/1 switch 1 to 0 to switch the ice-cream maker off.
2. Unplug 9 the appliance.
3. Turn the lid 3 anti-clockwise and remove.

NOTE: Removing the lid 3 will be easier if you grasp it with both hands on the right and left and then lift off.

1. Remove the ice cream you have made using a rubber scraper or wooden spoon (not supplied). The ice cream produced will be spoonable. You can eat it straightaway, or if you prefer it to be firmer, leave it in the freezer for a while.
