- Select Mode: Press the "SET" button to cycle through the available modes:
- Ice Cream Mode: Activates both mixing and cooling functions. Ideal for making ice cream, gelato, or sorbet.
- Single Mixing Mode: Activates only the mixing function. Useful for pre-mixing ingredients or adding mix-ins.
- Keep Cooling Mode: Activates only the cooling function. Maintains the frozen consistency of your dessert after preparation.
- Set Time: Use the "+" and "-" buttons to adjust the operating time. The recommended time for ice cream is typically 40-60 minutes, but this may vary based on the recipe and desired consistency.
- Start Operation: Press the "START/STOP" button to begin the selected process. The LED display will show the remaining time.
- Add Mix-ins (Optional): If your recipe calls for adding solid ingredients like chocolate chips or nuts, you can add them through the opening in the transparent lid during the last 5-10 minutes of the mixing cycle.
- Completion: The machine will beep when the set time has elapsed.
- Keep Cooling Function: After the ice cream is made, the machine can automatically enter a 72-minute "Keep Cooling Mode" to prevent melting. You can also manually select this mode.
- Serve: Use the provided ice cream scoop or a plastic/wooden utensil to remove the ice cream from the bowl. Avoid using metal utensils to prevent scratching the bowl.
