PREPARING THE PRO LINESERIES FROZEN DESSERT MAKER FOR USE

Placement and Setup

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install frozen dessert maker.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

For the best performance, the dessert maker should be placed on a level surface, out of direct sunlight. Position the dessert maker so the back and sides of the unit are at least 2-inches from any adjacent wall; this permits the freezing system to work effectively.

For easier cleaning, the freezing cylinder vent on top of the dessert maker should be accessible and clear of any overhanging cabinets. To prevent debris from entering the freezing cylinder, place the vent cap into the vent.

To provide a surface for the drip tray, position the front of the dessert maker several inches from the edge of the countertop or table.

Food-Safe Lubrication

From the factory, the O-rings on the funnel lid and dispensing piston are lubricated with a food-safe gel. The gel will not affect the flavor or quality of your desserts. Before use, excess gel can be wiped from the funnel lid with a paper towel.

Before First Use of the Frozen Dessert Maker

Immediately before using the dessert maker for the first time – or after any long period of non-use – rinse the freezing cylinder, mixing blade, and dispenser assembly with clean, warm water.

1.Place the drip tray on the countertop underneath the dispenser assembly.

2.Make sure the dispensing lever is in the closed (up) position – when the lever is moved upward, you’ll feel it “snap” into the fully closed position.

3.Remove the funnel lid. Pour about 1 quart of warm water into the funnel. This will fill the freezing cylinder about halfway as seen through the dispenser faceplate. Replace the funnel lid.

4.Turn on the mixing blade by rocking the Mix Switch upward. After about 30 seconds, dispense the cleaning water into an appropriate container by pulling the dispensing lever down.

5.Turn off the mixing blade by rocking the Mix Switch downward. Move the dispensing lever to the closed (up) position.

6.The dessert maker is now ready for use. If no dessert is to be prepared at this time, the dispenser assembly should be removed and the freezing cylinder wiped dry. See “Remove the Dispenser Assembly and Mixing Blade” on page 43 for instructions.
