4. Operating Instructions
This ice cream maker does not require pre-freezing the bowl, thanks to its built-in compressor.
- Prepare Ingredients: Prepare your ice cream mixture according to your recipe. Ensure the mixture is chilled (refrigerated) for best results, but not frozen.
- Add Ingredients: With the appliance assembled and plugged in, pour the chilled ice cream mixture through the ingredient opening in the transparent lid. Do not fill above the MAX fill line indicated on the bowl.
- Select Mode: Press the 'Menu' button to cycle through the available modes (e.g., Ice Cream, Cooling Only, Mixing Only). Select the 'Ice Cream' mode for standard ice cream preparation.
- Set Time: Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the desired operating time. For most ice cream recipes, 40-60 minutes is typical. Refer to your recipe for specific timing.
- Start Operation: Press the 'Power' button to start the ice cream making process. The mixing paddle will begin to rotate, and the compressor will activate to cool the mixture.
- Monitor Progress: You can observe the ice cream being made through the transparent lid.
- Add Mix-ins: If your recipe calls for adding solid ingredients like chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit, add them during the last 5-10 minutes of the churning cycle through the ingredient opening.
- Completion: The machine will automatically stop when the set time has elapsed. A beep may sound to indicate completion.
- Keep Cool Function: After the ice cream is ready, the machine will automatically activate a 'Keep Cool' function for up to 1 hour, maintaining the ice cream's consistency.
- Serve: Unplug the appliance. Remove the lid and the mixing paddle. Use the provided spatula or a plastic/wooden spoon to scoop the ice cream from the bowl. Avoid using metal utensils to prevent scratching the bowl.

6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Solution |
|---|---|
| Appliance does not turn on. | Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the lid is correctly locked in place. |
| Mixing paddle does not rotate. | Ensure the mixing paddle is correctly inserted into the motor shaft. Check if the ice cream mixture is too thick or frozen, which can impede rotation. |
| Ice cream is not firm enough. | Ensure ingredients were chilled before adding to the machine. Increase the churning time. The ambient room temperature may be too high; operate in a cooler environment. |
| Ice cream is too hard. | This can happen if the ice cream is left in the machine for too long after completion or stored in a very cold freezer. Allow it to soften slightly before serving. |
| Loud noise during operation. | Ensure the appliance is on a stable, flat surface. Check if the mixing paddle or bowl is properly seated. If the noise persists and seems abnormal, discontinue use and contact support. |
