5. Operating Instructions

Create various Play-Doh ice cream treats using the different stations:

5.1. Making Swirl Ice Cream

1. Load Compound: Open the top of the central ice cream dispenser. Load one or more Play-Doh colors into the dispenser.
2. Position Cone/Dish: Place an ice cream cone or dish directly underneath the dispenser nozzle. The playset allows for two cones/dishes to be placed simultaneously.
3. Press and Swirl: Press down on the lever located above the dispenser. This action will push the Play-Doh compound through the nozzle, creating a swirled ice cream effect in your cone or dish.

2. Position Creation: Place your Play-Doh ice cream creation under the whipped cream dispenser.
3. Squeeze: Press the handle or plunger to squeeze out Play-Doh Plus, creating a whipped cream topping. The whipped cream tool can also be removed for handheld squeezing.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

• Cleaning the Playset: After each use, remove any excess Play-Doh compound from the playset. Allow any remaining Play-Doh to dry completely on the plastic parts, then scrape it off with a blunt tool or brush. Do not use water or cleaning solutions on the compound itself.
• Storing Play-Doh: Always return Play-Doh compound to its airtight containers after play to prevent it from drying out. If the compound becomes stiff, try adding a few drops of water and kneading it.
• Storage: Store the playset and accessories in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight.

7. Troubleshooting

• Play-Doh is too hard to extrude:
  • Ensure the Play-Doh compound is fresh and soft.
  • Knead the Play-Doh thoroughly before loading it into the dispenser.
  • If the compound is dry, add a few drops of water and knead until soft.
  • Ensure no dried Play-Doh is blocking the extrusion holes. Clean as per "Maintenance and Cleaning" section.
• Playset parts are not fitting together:
  • Refer to the visual assembly instructions (if provided with the product) to ensure correct orientation.
  • Apply gentle pressure; do not force parts together.
