Important Safeguards

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

• Read all instructions before use.
• To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or base of the appliance in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
• Avoid contact with moving parts.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
• The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended household use.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

Included Components:

• Gel Canister Bowl
• Cream Machine Base
• Mixing Paddle/Handle

Setup

1. Before First Use: Wash all parts that will come into contact with food (gel canister bowl, mixing paddle) with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Do not immerse the motor base in water.
2. Freeze the Gel Canister: Place the clean, dry gel canister bowl in the freezer for at least 8-12 hours, or until completely frozen. For best results, store the canister in the freezer at all times so it's ready for use.
3. Assemble the Unit:
   • Place the motor base on a clean, dry, flat, and stable surface.
   • Insert the frozen gel canister bowl into the motor base, ensuring it sits securely.
   • Place the mixing paddle into the center of the gel canister bowl, ensuring it rests properly.
   • Attach the lid to the motor base, aligning the tabs and twisting to lock it into place. Ensure the opening for adding ingredients is accessible.

Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Your Mixture: Prepare your desired ice cream, sorbet, or frozen yogurt mixture according to your recipe. Ensure the mixture is chilled before adding it to the machine for optimal results.
2. Start the Machine: Plug the appliance into a 120V, 60Hz electrical outlet. The motor will begin to turn the mixing paddle.
3. Add Ingredients: Slowly pour your chilled mixture through the opening in the lid while the machine is running. Do not overfill the bowl; leave at least 1.5 inches from the top as the mixture will expand during freezing.
4. Churning Process: Allow the machine to churn for approximately 20-40 minutes, or until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. The churning time may vary depending on the recipe and ambient temperature.
5. Check Consistency: The mixture will thicken as it churns. For a softer consistency, it can be served immediately. For a firmer consistency, transfer the mixture to an airtight container and place it in the freezer for 2-4 hours.
6. Turn Off and Unplug: Once churning is complete, turn off the machine and unplug it from the electrical outlet.

Tips for Best Results:

• Always ensure the gel canister is thoroughly frozen.
• Chill your ice cream mixture completely before adding it to the machine.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line to prevent overflow.
• Avoid adding solid ingredients like nuts or chocolate chips until the last 5 minutes of churning.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your ice cream maker.

1. Disassembly: Unplug the unit from the power outlet. Remove the lid, mixing paddle, and gel canister bowl from the motor base.
2. Cleaning the Gel Canister and Paddle: Wash the gel canister bowl and mixing paddle by hand with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing or refreezing. Do not wash in a dishwasher.
3. Cleaning the Motor Base: Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.
4. Storage: Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing. You may store the gel canister in the freezer for convenience. Store the entire unit in a cool, dry place.
