The important items to check before making ice cream are as follows:

Appropriate preparation can avoid a failure. Be sure to check before using.

Refrigerators Ingredients and Volume

Be sure your refrigerator's freezer can be

adjusted to 0 F (-18 C)

Because the temperature of a freezer

equipped with an automatic defroster rises

temporarily when defrosting, the entire ice

cream making process may take longer.

The appropriate volume for each batch

of ice cream is (240 ml to

720 ml). 

If you try to make more or less, you may

not be successful.

For clean preparation, wash all parts except for the body. 

Practical Hints

Do not store too much food

in the freezer.

Place a metal plate, such

as an aluminum plate,

under the Ice Cream Maker.

Wrap the mixed ingredients 

with cellophane and keep 

them cool in the refrigerator 

immediately before making 

your batch of ice cream. 

(Appropriate temperature is

about 41 F (5 C).)
