Setup and Initial Use

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to prepare your frozen desserts:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Ensure your ice cream mixture is chilled (refrigerated) before adding it to the machine for best results.
2. Add Ingredients: Pour the prepared mixture into the removable ice cream bowl through the opening in the transparent lid. Do not fill above the maximum fill line to allow for expansion during freezing.

3. Set Timer: Use the timer adjustment buttons on the control panel to set the desired preparation time. The recommended time for ice cream is typically between 10 to 60 minutes, depending on the recipe and desired consistency.
4. Start Operation: Press the "Start/Pause" button to begin the churning and freezing process. The digital display will show the remaining time.
5. Add Additional Ingredients (Optional): During operation, you can add solid ingredients like chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit pieces through the lid opening.
6. Completion: Once the set time has elapsed, the machine will automatically stop churning. It features a 1-hour cooling function at the end of preparation to prevent the ice cream from melting immediately.
7. Serving: Use the provided spatula to scoop out the ice cream. For a firmer consistency, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place it in a freezer for an additional 1-2 hours.
