Making Frozen Treats

1. Prepare Ingredients: Mix your desired ingredients according to a recipe. Ensure the mixture is well-combined and chilled if the recipe suggests.
2. Add Mixture: Pour the prepared mixture into the stainless steel pint bucket inside the machine. Do not fill above the MAX fill line to allow for expansion during freezing.
3. Select Program: On the control panel, choose your desired preset: Ice Cream, Frozen Yogurt, or Italian Ice. The default time for the selected program will appear on the display.
4. Adjust Time (Optional): Use the + and - buttons to adjust the freezing time if needed.
5. Start Churning: Press the Start/Pause button to begin the churning process. The machine will automatically mix and freeze your ingredients.
6. Add Mix-ins: If adding solid mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, wait until the last 5-10 minutes of the cycle. Lift the small flap on the transparent lid and carefully add them while the machine is still churning.
7. Automatic Cooling: Once the churning cycle is complete, the machine will automatically switch to a 60-minute Keep Cool function to prevent melting.
8. Serve or Store: Remove the lid and mixing paddle. Use the included scoop or shovel to transfer your freshly made treat to serving bowls or to one of the included storage containers for later enjoyment.

Mix Function

The Mix function allows you to churn ingredients without freezing. This is useful for combining ingredients thoroughly before a freezing cycle or for making soft-serve consistency treats.

1. Add ingredients to the pint bucket.
2. Press the Mix button on the control panel.
3. Press Start/Pause to begin mixing.

Chill Function

The Chill function provides additional cooling without mixing. This can be used to firm up treats after churning or to keep them cold before serving.

1. Ensure the pint bucket with your treat is in the machine.
2. Press the Chill button on the control panel.
3. Press Start/Pause to begin chilling.
