Before First Use
Remove all packing materials and manuals form inside your new gel canister ice cream maker.
Wash each part of the unit which touches the ingredients, such as the Stirring Paddle, Lid, and the Ice Cream bucket. Parts should be washed with warm water and a mild dish washing detergent and wiped completely dry. Do NOT use abrasive cleaners to clean as these may damage your appliance. Power head may be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Do NOT clean appliance in dishwasher.
Freezing the Freezer Canister
The most important step in making frozen desserts, is making sure that the freezer canister is completely frozen. The Bravetti Gel Canister Ice Cream Maker features a double walled insulated freezer canister for perfect frozen desserts every time. To freeze your canister, wrap it in a large resealable freezer bag and place it upright in the coldest part of your freezer. Using a resealable freezer bag prevents ice crystals from forming on the freezer canister. The length of time to properly freeze the freezer canister depends on how cold your freezer temperature is. To make sure that your freezer canister is properly frozen, you should not hear any gel moving within the freezer canister when you shake it.

Using Your Ice Cream Maker
Your ice cream maker can make up to 1 1/2 quarts of ice cream. Due to an increase in volume when freezing the ingredients, you should not exceed 1 quart of liquid ingredients. If you are using your own recipes, adapt the volume of the mixture not to exceed this amount.
1.Place the freezer canister into the coldest part of your freezer the day before. See chart for approximate freezing time.
2.Make sure that the On/Off button is in the "Off" position.
3.To assemble the unit, insert the drive unit into the cover until it locks in place. The two tabs on the bottom of the drive unit will lock into the cover. (Fig. 1)
