Setup
- Prepare the Freezing Bowl: Place the freezing bowl in the freezer for at least 12-24 hours, or until completely frozen. The colder the bowl, the better the results. Ensure your freezer is set to 0°F (-18°C) or colder.
- Prepare Ingredients: Prepare your ice cream, frozen yogurt, or sorbet mixture according to your recipe. Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight, before churning.
- Assemble the Unit:
- Place the motor base on a clean, dry, and stable surface.
- Insert the frozen freezing bowl into the motor base.
- Place the mixing paddle into the freezing bowl, ensuring it sits correctly at the bottom.
- Place the transparent lid onto the freezing bowl, aligning it properly and twisting to secure if necessary.
- Connect Power: Plug the appliance into a standard electrical outlet (120VAC).
Operating Instructions
- Start Churning: Turn the appliance ON using the On/Off switch. The mixing paddle will begin to rotate.
- Add Mixture: Immediately pour your chilled ice cream mixture through the feeder cap opening in the lid.
- Churning Process: Allow the machine to churn for approximately 20-30 minutes. The exact time may vary depending on the recipe and desired consistency. The mixture will thicken as it churns.
- Check Consistency: You can observe the consistency through the transparent lid. For a firmer consistency, transfer the finished dessert to an airtight container and place it in the freezer for an additional 2-4 hours.
- Turn Off: Once the desired consistency is reached, turn the appliance OFF and unplug it from the outlet.
- Serve: Remove the lid and mixing paddle. Use a plastic or wooden utensil to scoop out the ice cream to avoid scratching the freezing bowl.
