•If the mixing blade shuts off while a dessert is being made:
If a dessert becomes too stiff to mix, the frozen dessert maker
will automatically shut off. If the Mix Switch is left on, the
mixing blade will automatically re-start when the dessert has
thawed. Although no immediate harm will result from leaving
the Mix Switch on in this circumstance, repeated automatic
on/off cycling will shorten the life of some components. If the
dessert maker has automatically shut off, it is recommended
that the Mix and Freeze Switches be turned off. Wait 5 minutes
for the dessert to thaw, then turn the Mix Switch back on. If the
mixing blade rotates, dispense the dessert; if not, turn off the
Mix Switch and allow the dessert to thaw several more minutes
before repeating the procedure. When the mixing blade is
rotating, moving the dispensing lever up and down several
times may help dispense a firm dessert.
•If the dispenser drips during use:
Make sure the dispensing lever is in the fully closed (up)
position. When the lever is moved upward, you’ll feel it “snap”
into the fully closed position.
After dispensing a dessert, a small amount may cling to the
mouth of the dispensing cylinder and bottom of the
dispensing piston; this dessert will eventually melt and drip.
This is normal.
•If the indicator light remains dark and the mixing blade
fails to turn when the Mix Switch is turned on:
–Make sure the funnel lid is securely positioned on the funnel.
The funnel lid serves as an electrical interlock: the frozen
dessert maker will not operate unless the lid is in place.
–Make sure the frozen dessert maker is plugged into a
grounded 3 prong outlet. If it is, unplug the frozen dessert
maker, then plug it back into the same outlet again. Turn on
the mixing blade by rocking the Mix Switch upward. If the
mixing blade still does not rotate, check the fuse or circuit
breaker on the electrical circuit the frozen dessert maker is
connected to and make certain the circuit is closed.
•If a dessert does not dispense well:
– Make sure the Mix Switch is turned on and the mixing blade
is rotating.
– If a dessert has become too firm to dispense easily, shut off
the Mix and Freeze Switches, wait a few minutes for the
dessert to thaw, then turn the Mix Switch back on and
dispense the dessert.
– Check the dispensing lever. When the dispenser is fully closed,
the lever should angle upwards. If the lever is almost
horizontal in the closed position, the dispenser will not open
fully. See step 3 on page 46 for proper dispenser assembly.
