CLEANING

• Before using the ice cream maker, clean it to eliminate

 

any residues from manufacturing, as directed below.

 

• Never immerse the motor unit in water. Just clean it with a

 

damp cloth.

 

• Clean the cooling bowl, lid, rings and paddle with warm

 

water.

 

• NEVER clean parts with abrasive or harsh products. You

 

could damage them.

 

• Carefully dry all parts before use.

 

• Only the lid and paddle can be cleaned in a dishwasher.

Freezing the cooling bowl

Remove the upper and lower rings from the cooling bowl. Make certain that the bowl is perfectly dry inside and out before leaving the empty bowl to freeze for at least 24 hours in a freezer at a temperature of –18°C or colder. The freezing time may be longer in a combination refrigerator/free- zer. Make sure the bowl is upright to ensure an even distribution of the liquid between the walls when it freezes.

You can check that your freezer is at the right temperature using the indicator symbol located on the bowl: a snow flake with green arrows around it will appear about 6 hours after the container has been placed in the freezer compartment and it shows that your bowl is in the process of freezing. If nothing appears after around 10 hours, try lowering the temperature of your freezer.

Do not remove the cooling bowl from the freezer until just before you want to churn the prepared mixture.

You can if you wish leave your freezing bowl in the freezer permanently so that you can make your desserts as and when you feel like it. Keep it inside a sealed polythene freezer bag.

Preparing the mixture

Prepare the ice cream mix (see separate recipe leaflet). The colder your freezer is, the faster your ice cream maker will work and the better the results will be. For recipes that require heating the ingredients, remember to allow time for your mixture to cool completely before churning! For best results we recommend chilling the prepared mixture in a refrigerator set at 4°C for at least 12 hours. For recipes using
