HELPFUL HINTS
•Temperatures from freezer to freezer differ. If your freezer is set at a middle to warm setting, the Canister will not freeze. The Canister freezes at 7°F. If your ice cream is too soft or has not hardened, check your freezer temperature and adjust settings to maintain freezer temperatures below 5°F (coldest setting).
•The Mixing Canister must be

•The valve has been
•There is a circular ridge on the back side of the Face Panel Assembly. The large, black gasket should be placed on that circular ridge. If the gasket is not on the circular ridge, it will make the assembly of the Mixing Canister to the Face Panel Assembly difficult and may result in ice cream leaking out.
•Make sure the gasket is dry before assembling the Face Panel Assembly to the
Mixing Canister. If the gasket is wet it will freeze very quickly and will make the assembly of the unit difficult. Additionally, if assembly of the Face Panel onto the Canister ever becomes difficult, smooth operation can be restored by a light application of liquid

•The Valve must be inserted until it rests firmly at the bottom of the Face Panel Assembly to ensure proper sealing.
•Ice cream in the Mixing Canister thickens with time. If the Soft Serve™ Machine is left on unattended for more than 30 – 35 minutes, the ice cream could thicken too much and potentially stall the machine. If the machine stalls, it will not dispense ice cream.
•Make sure the Mixing Canister is completely dry after washing it. If the Canister is wet when it is put in the freezer, the Canister gears may freeze and prevent the Auger from turning inside the unit.
•VERY IMPORTANT: The ice cream maker must be turned "ON" prior to pouring in the ice cream mix. If the ice cream mix is poured into the Canister before the unit is turned on, it will freeze rapidly, causing the Auger not to turn.
•If the canister does not latch when inserted into unit, take the Canister out of the unit and turn the gear behind the Canister slightly and insert back into ice cream maker. This should allow proper engagement.
•The metal rod as a slight bend on it. Make sure that the bend is oriented toward the middle of the Auger. If the bend is facing the outside of the Auger, the rod will hit the Auger as the Auger turns making a rattling/clicking sound.
•Make sure the metal rod is on the Face Panel Assembly before assembling the unit together to make ice cream. If the rod is left out, the unit will not mix and the ice cream will settle to the bottom of the Canister.
