- Freeze the Bowl: Place the empty freezer bowl in the freezer for at least 8-12 hours, or until completely frozen. The colder the bowl, the better the ice cream consistency.

5. Operating Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Prepare your desired ice cream or sorbet mixture. Ensure the mixture is chilled before adding it to the machine for best results.
- Start Churning: Plug in the appliance. Turn on the ice cream maker.
- Add Mixture: Pour the chilled mixture through the opening in the lid while the machine is churning. Do not overfill; the mixture will expand as it freezes.
- Churn: Allow the machine to churn for approximately 5-10 minutes, or until the desired consistency is reached. The exact time may vary depending on the recipe and desired firmness.
- Serve: Once the ice cream is ready, turn off and unplug the machine. Use a plastic or wooden spoon to scoop the ice cream into the individual 100 ml serving pots.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately or place the pots in the freezer for a firmer consistency.
Note: For best results, ensure the freezer bowl is thoroughly frozen and your ingredients are well-chilled.
