1. Insert the Stainless Steel Bowl: Place the clean, dry stainless steel bowl into the main unit's chamber. Ensure it sits securely at the bottom.
2. Attach the Mixing Paddle: Insert the mixing paddle into the center of the bowl, ensuring it aligns with the motor shaft.

5. Operating Instructions

The COWSAR Ice Cream Maker offers four operating modes: Ice Cream, Yogurt, Refrigerated, and Stirring. Follow these steps for general operation:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Mix your desired ice cream or yogurt ingredients according to your recipe. Ensure ingredients are chilled for best results.
2. Pour Ingredients: Open the ingredient spout on the lid and carefully pour the prepared mixture into the stainless steel bowl. Do not overfill; the mixture should not exceed 2/3 of the bowl's capacity to allow for expansion.

7. Keep Cool Function: After the ice cream is made, the machine will automatically enter a 'Keep Cool' mode for 1 hour to prevent melting.
8. Serve: Once complete, unlock the lid and remove the mixing paddle. Use the provided scraper to scoop out the ice cream into serving dishes.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

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

• Unplug: Always unplug the machine from the power outlet before cleaning.
• Removable Parts: The stainless steel bowl, mixing paddle, lid, measuring cup, and scraper are all detachable and should be hand washed with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.

• Main Unit: Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water or place it under running water.
• Storage: Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing the machine in a cool, dry place.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ice cream maker, try these common troubleshooting steps:

• Machine Not Turning On: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the lid is properly locked in place.
• Ingredients Not Freezing: Verify that the machine is set to the 'Ice Cream' mode and the timer is active. Ensure ingredients were pre-chilled (though not strictly necessary, it can improve results).
• Loud Noise During Operation: Some noise is normal due to the compressor and churning. If the noise is excessive or unusual, ensure the mixing paddle and bowl are correctly installed.
• Ice Cream Too Soft/Hard: Adjust the churning time. Shorter times result in softer ice cream, longer times in harder consistency.
