Frequently Asked Questions - Ice Cream Maker Box OBH NORDICA

How long should the ice cream bowls be frozen before use?

Freeze the bowls for at least 18 hours (preferably 24 hours) before making ice cream. The temperature should be -18°C.

What is the maximum amount of ice cream mixture I can use?

The maximum amount is 7.5 dl (0.75 liters) per bowl. Do not exceed this, as the ice cream expands during freezing.

Why does my ice cream remain soft after 30 minutes?

Possible causes: bowls not frozen long enough, mixture too warm, maximum amount exceeded, bowls exposed to room temperature too long, or freezer opened often during freezing.

Can I add chocolate chips or nuts to the ice cream?

Yes, but add them only after the mixture has been churning for at least 5 minutes (when it begins to freeze). Ensure pieces are not too large to avoid jamming the mixer blade.

How do I clean the ice cream maker?

Always unplug first. Wipe the motor part with a damp cloth only (never immerse). Clean the lid, handle ring, shaft, and mixer blade in warm water with mild detergent. Let bowls reach room temperature before cleaning inside.

What should I do if the motor stops during operation?

The thermostat may have activated due to overheating. Unplug the appliance and wait about 30 minutes for it to cool down before using again.

Can I use metal utensils in the ice cream bowls?

No, avoid metal utensils as they can scratch the bowls. Use only wooden or plastic utensils.

How should I store leftover ice cream?

Transfer the ice cream to a frost-proof container with a lid (not the ice cream bowl) and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Is it normal for the mixer blade to 'stutter' near the end?

Yes, when the ice cream is ready, the mixer blade changes direction and may stutter. This indicates the ice cream has reached the desired firmness.

What is the power consumption of this ice cream maker?

The appliance operates at 220-240V and uses 9.5 watts. It is low energy.

Before use

Check that all parts are without any kind of damage. Remove the detachable parts in the following way:

• Lift the lid with the motor part off the outer housing by pressing the two buttons on each side of the lid and at the same time lift the lid with the motor part.
• Loosen the mixer blade from the shaft by pushing the mixer blade straight downwards. Loosen the shaft from the motor part by pushing it straight downwards.
• Remove the motor part from the lid by turning the lid upside down and press the locking button on the motor part. Separate the motor part from the lid.
• Lift the ice cream bowls off the outer housing by holding on to the handle ring around the bowls and lift them upwards. Separate the bowl from the handle ring.

Clean all parts as described in the section "Cleaning and maintenance". Wipe the parts thoroughly and mount the appliance as follows:

• Mount the motor part in the lid. Press the locking button and make sure that the motor part is properly engaged.
• Press the shaft in the opening at the underside of the motor part (through the opening in the lid) and secure the mixer blade on the shaft by inserting the shaft in the opening of the mixer blade.
• Position the bowls in the handle ring and place the bowls (with the handle ring) in the outer housing.
• Fasten the lid (with the motor part and the mixer blade) on top of the outer housing. Make sure that the buttons on the lid are correctly positioned in the grooves on the outer housing.
• Plug the switch to a wall outlet. The appliance is now ready for use.

How to use the ice cream maker

1. Before you can make ice cream, the ice cream bowls (without the ice cream mixture) should be in the freezer for at least 18 hours (preferably 24 hours).
2. Prepare the ice cream mixture. Note that the maximum amount is 7.5 dl.
3. It is an advantage to keep the ice cream in the refrigerator before pouring it into the ice cream maker.
4. Mount the appliance according to the instructions in section "Before use".

5. Make sure that the switch of the appliance is connected to a wall outlet. Start the appliance by turning the timer clockwise till optional position (the ice cream process lasts about 30 minutes). Note! The appliance shall be switched on before the ice cream mixture is poured into the bowl. If not, there is a risk that the ice cream mixture freezes in the bowl and prevents the mixer blade from rotating.

6. Open the feeding hole in the lid and slowly pour the ice cream mixture through the opening. Make sure to leave at least 5 cm between the ice cream mixture and the upper edge of the bowl, as the volume of the ice cream will expand during freezing. Do not exceed the maximum amount of 7.5 dl, not even if the total amount of prepared ice cream mixture is more than 7.5 cl.

7. Let the ice cream maker run for 15-30 minutes, depending on the amount of ice cream mixture added and the texture that you want for the ice cream. When the ice cream is done, the mixer blade changes direction and will 'stutter' a little, which indicates that the ice cream is ready. If the ice cream has not obtained a firm texture within 30 minutes, read the section "Troubleshooting". Do not stop the appliance several times during the freezing process as this may make the mixer blade freeze in the ice cream mixture.
8. The appliance switches off automatically, once the set time has elapsed. If you want to switch off the appliance before the set time has elapsed, turn the timer back to "Off". Always unplug after use.
9. Lift the lid with the motor unit off the outer housing, when the mixer blade has stopped completely. The texture of the ice cream should be firm, but creamy. In order to avoid any damage to the ice cream bowls, only use plastic or wooden utensils in the bowls. If you do not eat the ice cream right away, you can keep it in the freezer up to 3 months. Pour the ice cream into another frost-proof container with a lid (other than the ice cream bowl) before putting the ice cream in the freezer.
10. Clean all parts as described in the section "Cleaning and maintenance".

To achieve the best result let the motor cool for about 30 minutes before you make the second bowl of ice cream. This is to be sure that the motor has been sufficiently cooled and does not stop during the making of the second bowl of ice cream.

Overheating

The ice cream maker comprises a thermostat that ensures a long lifetime of the appliance and which is activated if the motor is overcharged. If the thermostat is activated, unplug and wait for about 30 minutes before you switch on the appliance again.

Good advice to obtain the best possible result

1. Make sure that all parts are clean before you use the appliance.
2. Freshly made ice cream has the best taste and the fresh taste will weaken after a few days in the freezer.
3. The texture of the ice cream is soft and creamy and it will therefore be an advantage to keep the ice cream in the freezer for about an hour or two before serving in order that the ice cream is not melting right away. This is in particular a good idea, if the ice cream is served with a hot topping.
4. Never freeze the ice cream, once it has been defrosted.

5. Always use fresh ingredients for the ice cream.

6. Chocolate chips, nuts etc. should not be added to the mixture until the ice cream has been stirred in the maker for at least 5 minutes, or until the mixture is firm and has started to freeze.

7. The final result is a smooth and creamy ice cream (it will not have the same texture as manufactured ice cream).
8. If you keep the ice cream bowl in the freezer, it will always be ready for making ice cream.
9. In order to get the best result, let the bowls freeze to -18°C.
10. Always switch on the appliance before pouring the ice cream mixture in the ice cream bowls.
11. The texture of the ice cream depends on the chosen recipe, the room temperature and the temperature of the ingredients.
12. Only use bowls that have been in the freezer for at least 18 hours.
13. Never heat the bowls.
14. Do not use a bowl if it has been damaged in any way.

Cleaning and maintenance

1. Always unplug before cleaning.

2. Lift the lid with the motor part off the outer housing by pressing the two buttons on each side of the lid and at the same time lift the lid with the motor part.

3. Loosen the mixer blade from the shaft by pushing the mixer blade straight downwards. Loosen the shaft from the motor part by pushing it straight downwards.

4. Remove the motor part from the lid by turning the lid upside down and press the locking button on the motor part. Separate the motor part from the lid.

5. Lift the ice cream bowls off the outer housing by holding on to the handle ring around the bowls and lift them upwards. Separate the bowls from the handle ring.

6. Wipe the motor part with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor part in water or any other liquid and do not rinse it under running water.

7. Make sure that the bowls reach room temperature before cleaning. Clean the inside of the bowls with water and a mild detergent. Never immerse the entire bowls in water.

8. Clean the lid, the handle ring, the shaft and the mixer blade in warm water and detergent and wipe thoroughly.

NOTE: Do not use scratching detergents or scouring sponges for cleaning.

Trouble-shooting

Problem Possible cause
The ice cream is not firm after 30 minutes.	-The ice cream bowls have not been in the freezer for a sufficiently long period (in order to obtain the best result, the ice cream bowls should be kept at least 8 hours in the freezer and preferably 18 hours).-The maximum limit has been exceeded (maximum amount 7.5 dl).-The ingredients are too warm/have room temperature.-The ice cream bowls have been kept at room temperature for more than 5 minutes before use.-The freezer has been opened too many times during the freezing process of the ice cream bowls.-The bowls have a thick coating of ice.NOTE: Be sure to wipe the bowls properly before you put them back in the freezer.
The ice cream maker stops before the ice cream is ready.	-Chocolate chips, crushed nuts etc. were added too early. The ice cream shall be in the maker for at least 5 minutes (or when the mixture has begun to freeze), before adding the ingredients.-The chocolate chips/nuts are too big, which means that the mixer blade gets stuck.-Do not add more than one cup of these ingredients.
The ice cream bowls have got scratches.	- If you use metallic utensils, the bowls may be scratched. We recommend always to use wooden or plastic utensils in the bowls.
The ice cream is too stiff.	- If the ice cream is kept in the freezer for a while, the ice cream gets very hard and it can be difficult to take it out of the bowls. Let the ice cream defrost for a couple of minutes before serving.

Recipe

French Vanilla Ice Cream

Approx 1.5 l finished ice cream:

3'dl milk

2 eggs

100 g sugar

3 dl cream

Seeds from 1 vanilla pod

Cut the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with a knife. Pour milk, the vanilla seeds and the vanilla pod in a saucepan and bring to boil. Whip the eggs and the sugar to a homogeneous dough. Remove the vanilla pod from the hot milk. Pour the vanilla milk in the egg and sugar mixture in a fine squirt while whipping/stirring the egg mixture.

Pour the mixture back into a saucepan and heat at low temperature until it just starts to thicken (same texture as a vanilla sauce). The temperature of the mixture should not exceed 85 degrees (if so the mixture will curdle). Pour into a bowl and let it cool (preferably in a water bath). When the mixture has cooled, add the cream and stir (the cream must not be whipped) and put the bowl in the refrigerator. Preferably till next day. The mixture should have the temperature of the refrigerator when poured into the ice cream maker.

Vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips

One part of French vanilla ice cream (see recipe French vanilla ice cream)

100 g finely chopped chocolate

Please note: It is important not to add the chocolate chips until the ice has reached the wanted texture. Make sure that the chocolate chips are not too big, as this could make it difficult to mix the ingredients.
