Tips for Best Results

•During the freezing process, you can add finely chopped or pureed ingredients such as chocolate, raisins, nuts, etc., through the opening in the lid. Alcohol should not be added until near the end of the process since it significantly slows down the freezing process.

•The machine will run for 20 to 40 minutes. Do not turn ice cream maker off during this time. The mixture may freeze to the walls and prevent the mixing paddle from turning.

See Troubleshooting if your unit did not make ice cream in 60 minutes.

•If mixing paddle becomes blocked, it will reverse and continue to turn in the opposite direction. When motor repeatedly stalls and reverses, the mixture has reached maximum freezing.

•Add mix-ins, such as chocolate chips or chopped nuts, after ice cream has churned for at least 15 minutes or when mixture is thick and has started to freeze.

•The finished result is a soft, spoonable ice cream. Homemade ice cream will not be the same consistency as hard, store-bought ice cream.

•Ice cream tastes best when fresh. It will begin to lose its fresh taste after 1 to 2 weeks in the freezer.

•Keep the freezer bowl in the freezer so that you can make ice cream, chill wine, or serve ice cubes at any time.

•For best results, the freezer bowl must be frozen thoroughly. Make sure to set your freezer at the coldest setting (temperature should not be more than 0ºF [-18ºC]).

•Firmness of ice cream depends on variables such as the recipe used, room temperature, and temperature of ingredients before churning.

•Some recipes require the mixture to be precooked. Make the recipe at least one day ahead. This will allow the mixture to cool completely and increase volume. Base mixture may not freeze if it is not thoroughly chilled.

•Do not remove freezer bowl from the freezer until ready to use.

•Do not puncture or heat the freezer bowl.

•To allow mixture to expand to 1-1/2 quarts (6 cups/1.5 L) while churning, do not use more than 1 quart (4 cups/1 L) of recipe mixture at a time.
