4.2 Ice Cream Maker Operation

The Aifeel Stand Mixer includes a 2QT ice cream maker bowl for homemade frozen desserts.

1. Pre-freeze the Ice Cream Bowl: Place the empty ice cream maker bowl in a freezer at 0°F (-18°C) or colder for 16-24 hours. The bowl must be completely frozen for proper ice cream consistency.
2. Assemble Ice Cream Attachment: With the mixer unplugged and the head tilted up, install the frozen ice cream bowl onto the base. Place the ice cream paddle into the frozen bowl, ensuring it sits correctly.
3. Add Ingredients: Pour your prepared ice cream batter into the frozen bowl.
4. Start Churning: Lower the motor head and secure it. Plug in the mixer and turn the speed control knob to the 'Ice Cream' setting. Churn for 10-15 minutes, or until the desired consistency is reached.
5. Serve: Once churning is complete, turn the mixer off, lift the head, and remove the paddle. Serve immediately for soft-serve consistency or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for a firmer texture.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

5.1 Cleaning

• Always unplug the mixer before cleaning.
• All attachments (dough hook, flat beater, wire whisk, ice cream paddle, pouring shield) and both bowls are dishwasher-safe.
• Wipe the motor unit and base with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the motor unit in water.
• Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing.

5.2 Storage

Store the mixer and its accessories in a clean, dry place. The ice cream maker bowl can be stored in the freezer for convenience if you use it frequently.

6. Troubleshooting

• Mixer stops during operation: The mixer is equipped with an overload protection feature. If the motor becomes too hot or is overworked, it may automatically shut off. Turn the speed control to 'OFF', unplug the mixer, and allow it to cool down for at least 15-20 minutes before restarting. Reduce the load or mixing time if this occurs frequently.
• Attachments not reaching ingredients: Ensure the bowl is properly seated and locked into the base. If the attachment still doesn't reach, refer to the manual for adjustment instructions (if applicable to your model).
• Ice cream not freezing: Ensure the ice cream maker bowl was pre-frozen for the recommended 16-24 hours at 0°F (-18°C) or colder. The mixture itself should also be chilled before adding to the bowl.
• Excessive noise or vibration: Check that all attachments and the mixing bowl are securely installed. Ensure the mixer is on a flat, stable surface.
