Preparation for Making Ice Cream

1. Make sure that the container is completely dry before

you insert it. Place the container in the well of the base unit.

2. Fill the desired ingredients into the container.

- Do not ll more than 1000 ml into the container! - Use ingredients that have a refrigerator temperature of 6 – 8 °C. - The ingredients should not be frozen. This could cause the motor to block. - If you want to prepare fruit ice cream, use only soft, seedless fruit that you have crushed (puréed) before- hand. You can also add fruit juices. - If you want to rene the ice cream with solid pieces of fruit, nuts, brittle or alcohol, only add these ingredients at the end of the freezing time. - Alcohol inhibits the freezing process.

3. Fit the transparent lid to the motor housing. Make sure

that both latches of the motor housing engage with a “click” on the lid.

4. Put the stirring tool onto the drive shaft on the motor. The

stirring tool must engage with a “click”.

Preparation for Making Yoghurt You need pasteurised milk (UHT milk) and natural yoghurt in a mixing ratio of 100 ml : 15 ml.

1. Choose the location so that the appliance does not

have to be moved during yoghurt preparation and is not exposed to vibrations. The yoghurt will otherwise remain liquid.

2. Heat the UHT milk in a pot to about 45 °C and mix in the

natural yoghurt or the yoghurt culture. If you want to use fresh milk, boil it rst and let it cool down to about 45 °C.

3. Place the container in the well of the base unit.

4. Pour the already heated mixture into the container.

- Do not ll more than 1400 ml into the container! - If you want to rene the yoghurt with fruit, nuts, jam or similar, add these ingredients only after preparation.

5. Separate the transparent lid from the motor housing:

If tted, rst remove the stirring tool from the drive shaft. Press both catches on the motor housing inwards to remove the lid.

6. Put on the transparent lid without the motor housing.

This keeps the heat inside the appliance. Operation

provided or with a silicone or wooden spoon. - Do not use a metal spoon to avoid scratching the coating in the container.

6. Fill the yoghurt into a thoroughly cleaned container with a

lid and place it in the refrigerator. - The storage life of the yoghurt depends on how you prepare it. The cleaner you work, the longer it will take for the yoghurt to go off. However, you should not store the yoghurt for longer than a week. - Add fruit and the like only shortly before eating. - 150 ml of the nished yoghurt can be reused as a starter culture. Do not use this starter culture more than 20 times, as the effect wears off over time. Recipes for Ice Cream Preparation
