KitchenAid 358 manual Cleaning

If using your own recipes, adapt the volume of mixture to this amount.

nTo assemble the ice cream maker, slide the motor unit onto the lid until it locks in place (figure 3).

Remove freezing cylinder (a) from freezer.

H Insert paddle into cylinder (figure 4).

nInsert the tabs on the lid into the slots of the freezing cylinder, then lock rear of lid onto container (figure 5).

You will hear another “clack”. Make sure that motor and paddle are connected correctly.

W Insert plug into outlet, then turn the unit on immediately (figure 6).

This will prevent the paddle from freezing on the cylinder.

H Pour the prepared ice cream mixture through the feeder hole into cylinder (figure 7).

NOTE: It is extremely important that the cylinder be used immediately after it is removed from the freezer, as it begins to thaw once removed. Make sure that the ice cream mixture is ready first.

Leave the machine on for approximately 20-40 minutes, or until the mixture reaches the desired consistency. Do not turn the appliance off during use, as the mixture may freeze and prevent the movement of the paddle.

To add ingredients after the freezing process has begun, gently add them through the feeder hole (d).

To avoid overheating of the motor, the direction of rotation will change if the mixture becomes too thick. If the direction of rotation continues to change, the mixture is completely prepared; turn off appliance immediately.

1 To remove lid, press the release button on the rear of the motor unit, and lift lid from cylinder (figure 1).

Remove paddle from ice cream. Only use rubber, plastic or wooden utensils to serve from the cylinder bowl. Metal spoons may damage the surface of the bowl.

To further harden the ice cream, you may put the cylinder with the ice cream into the

freezer for a short period of time (no more than 30 minutes). Long term freezing, however, should be done in an airtight container.

Cleaning

The lid and paddle can be washed in the dishwasher (top rack only). The freezing cylinder should be cleaned in warm water and mild detergent, then dried thoroughly.

Never replace cylinder in freezer if it is still wet. Do not use sharp utensils, scouring pads, or abrasive detergents when cleaning freezing cylinder.

The motor unit can be cleaned by using a damp cloth. Never immerse motor unit in water.

Helpful hints

W Some recipes require the mixture to be pre-cooked. Make the recipe at least one day ahead. This will allow the mixture to cool completely and volumize. Pre-chilling the base mixture is strongly recommended. Never try to shortcut.

W Uncooked recipes will yield best results when an electric mixer is used to beat eggs and sugar. This helps volumize the mixture.

W Most ice cream recipes are a combination of cream, milk, eggs and sugar. You can use any type of cream You like, but the type of cream you use will have a big impact on the rich flavor and creamy texture. The higher percentage of fat, the richer the ice cream and the softer the texture. For example, heavy cream has at least 36% fat, followed by: whipping cream (30%). coffee or light cream (18%) and half & half (10%). Any combination can be used, but make sure the liquid measurement remains the same. For example, lighter ice creams can be made by using more milk than cream, or by eliminating cream altogether.

Skim milk will work, but there will be a noticeable difference in texture.
