TROUBLESHOOTING

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.

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.
