2. Setup and Installation

Before initial use, thoroughly wash all parts that will come into contact with the ice cream mixture. This includes the fixed bowl, removable bowl, mixing blade, transparent lid, refill lid, measuring cup, and spoon. Ensure all components are dry before assembly.

2.1 Component Assembly

• Insert the mixing blade into the removable bowl.
• Place the removable bowl with the mixing blade into the machine's main cavity, ensuring it sits securely.
• Attach the transparent lid to the machine and lock it clockwise until it clicks into place.
• Ensure the dispensing lever and associated components are correctly installed and tightened.

After assembly, it is recommended to run a wash cycle to ensure the machine is clean and ready for use. Pour clean water into the hopper, then press the 'Wash' button on the touch screen. Allow the machine to run for 2-3 minutes, then discharge the water. Repeat with hot water for 2-3 times for thorough cleaning.

4. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and hygienic operation of your VEVOR Ice Cream Machine.

4.1 Daily Cleaning

• After each day of use, ensure all residual slurry is discharged from the machine.
• Press the 'Wash' button to initiate the automatic cleaning cycle.
• For thorough cleaning, wipe down the exterior and removable parts with warm soapy water.
• Polish thoroughly dry to prevent limescale stains and bacterial growth.
• The removable parts can likely be cleaned in a dishwasher, though this is not explicitly stated in the product information.

4.2 Pre-cooling and Freshness Preservation

The machine features a pre-cooling function ('Fresh' button) to maintain the freshness of the ice cream mixture in the hopper at a low temperature, even when not actively producing ice cream. This helps prevent water freezing at the distributor.

5. Troubleshooting

• Scraping Sound: If the machine produces a scraping sound when used without load, please restart it after adding ingredients. Ensure all mixing components are correctly assembled.
• Motor Stops: The motor is designed to stop if the ice cream becomes too hard or the resistance is too high. This is a safety feature to prevent motor burnout. If this occurs, the ice cream is likely ready.
• Overflow: Do not overfill the hopper. The ice cream mixture expands during the freezing process.
