The Removable Cylinder, Dasher and Transparent Cover can be washed in warm water with dishwashing liquid.
The Fixed Cylinder may be wiped with a damp, soft cloth. Then dry thoroughly with a cloth.
Do not wash any of the components in a dishwasher.
The Dasher Motor assembly can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Never immerse the Dasher Motor in water and do not rinse under the tap.
The Frozen Dessert Maker housing can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Never immerse the Frozen Dessert Maker in water and do not rinse under the tap.
STORAGE
Unplug unit; store in its box or in a clean, dry place.
Never store it while it is still plugged in.
Never wrap cord tightly around the appliance.
Do not put any stress on the cord where it enters the unit, as it could cause the cord to fray and break.
HELPFUL HINTS
Certain recipes involve cooking. Prepare them at least a day ahead to ensure that they chill completely. It is recommended to always chill the basic mixture.
For cold mixtures, the best results are obtained by beating the eggs and sugar with an electric whisk. This helps increase the volume.
The majority of recipes consist of cream, milk, eggs and sugar. You may use whatever cream you wish, but the flavor and texture will vary greatly according to the quality of cream chosen. The higher the percentage of fat, the richer the ice cream, for
example, Heavy Cream contains a minimum of 36% fat, Light Whipping Cream 30%, Light Cream 18%, and Half and Half 10%.
Always maintain the same overall quantity of liquid. For example, the lightest ice cream can be made by using more milk than cream, or by eliminating the cream altogether. You may also use skimmed milk, but the texture of the ice cream will be very different. If you decide not to use the amount of cream called for in a recipe you will need to make up the difference with milk.
The frozen dessert recipe mixture can be kept in the refrigerator for several days. Stir it well before pouring it into the cylinder.
Fill the cylinder no more than half full if using recipes not contained within this Owner’s Manual. The mixture increases in volume during preparation.
Alcoholic ingredients slow down the chilling process. Liqueurs should be added only during the final minutes of preparation.
The flavor of sorbets depends largely on the degree of ripeness and sweetness of the fruit and juice used. Taste the fruit before adding it to the recipe. If it is too acidic, add sugar; if it is very ripe, add less sugar or no sugar. Remember that cold reduces sweetness.
Artificial sweeteners can be used in place of sugar. Add the sweetener to the mixture and mix until completely dissolved.
Cooked mixtures must not be poured into the cylinder until they are completely cold.
To sweeten the mixture during preparation, do not add sugar directly into be cylinder (it will not dissolve). Instead, dissolve the sugar in a little water or skimmed milk and pour the resulting syrup (cooled) into the cylinder.
The fruit used in the recipes must always be washed and dried before use. Even when not specified, fruit must always be peeled and seeded.
When using raw eggs, make sure they are fresh.
