Getting to Know Your
2 Litre Ice Cream Maker
Congratulations on the purchase of your new 2
Litre Ice Cream Maker.
Before rst using your new Ice Cream Maker, it is
most important that you read and follow the
instructions in this use and care booklet, even
if you feel you are familiar with this type of
appliance.
Your attention is drawn particularly to the section
dealing with IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS. Find a
safe and convenient place to keep this booklet
handy for future reference.
This appliance has been designed to operate
from a standard domestic power outlet. It is not
intended for industrial or commercial use.
Before First Use
Carefully unpack the Ice Cream Maker and
remove all packaging materials.
Wash the freezer canister, cover and paddle in
warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Do not
clean it in a dishwasher.
Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the
motor base. Do not immerse the motor base in
water.
DO NOT clean any of the parts with abrasive
cleaners or hard implements.
How to Use Your 2 Litre
Ice Cream Maker
Step 1 – preparing the ice cream
mixture
Prepare recipe ingredients according to the
recipes in this booklet or from your own recipe. If
you use your own recipe, be sure it yields 2 liters
or less.
For best results, prepare the ice cream mixture
one day before making ice cream. This adds
volume and allows time for the mixture to cool
sufciently.
Step 2 – freezing the freezer canister
Note: It is important that the freezer
canister is frozen properly.
The freezer canister must be completely frozen
before you begin your recipe. Before freezing,
wash and dry the canister. To freeze the freezer
canister, wrap it in a plastic bag and place it in
the back of your freezer, where the temperature
is the coldest. Be sure to place the freezer canister
on a at surface in its upright position for even
freezing. The plastic bag will prevent freezer
sticking from occurring.
Shake the canister to determine whether it is
completely frozen. If you do not hear the liquid
within the canister moving, the cooling liquid is
therefore frozen.
Reminder: Your freezer should be set to -15°C or
below to ensure proper freezing of all foods. The
freezing time needed to reach the frozen state
depends on how cold your freezer is. Refer to
below table to freeze your freezer canister.
freezer approx.
temperature freezing time
-30°C/-22°F 8-9 Hours
-25°C/-13°F 12-13 Hours
-18°C/0°F 20-22 Hours
-15°C/5°F 24 hours or more
Note: The canister must be used
immediately after removing from the
freezer. It will begin to quickly defrost
once it has been removed from the
freezer.

6
Step 3 – ice cream making process
Note: During operation, the motor may
be quite noisy. THIS IS NORMAL. It may
appear to struggle and make a loud
grating noise, but continue with the
operation as the unit will provide well
frozen and churned ice cream.
Before commencing, ensure the power cord is
unplugged and the control switch is in the (Off)
position.
Take the canister out of the freezer and place
it onto the motor base. The canister should be
used immediately after removing from the freezer
because it will begin to defrost quickly once
placed in a room temperature environment.
Place the paddle inside the canister. Be sure the
circle side of the stir paddle faces up.
Lock the lid onto the motor base. The tabs on
the bottom of the lid should line up with the
indentations in the motor base. This ensures that
the lid is locked into place. When placing the lid
on the motor base, the stir paddle should t into
the lid.
Plug the Ice cream Maker into a standard
domestic power outlet and switch the outlet on.
Switch the on/off dial to the on position to prevent
the paddle from freezing onto the freezer canister.
Immediately pour the prepared ingredients into
the freezer canister via the ingredient spout.
Note: Ingredients must be added to the
freezer canister after the unit is turned
on.
The ice cream making process takes
approximately 20-40 minutes or until the desired
consistency is reached.
Note: Turning the Ice Cream Maker off
during operation may cause the mixture
to freeze and restrict the movement of
the paddle. Do not store frozen ice cream
in the freezer canister. The ice cream will
stick to the sides of the freezer canister
and may damage the canister. Store
only in a freezer-safe airtight container.
This appliance should not be operated for
any longer than 40 minutes at one time. Do
not continue use if the ice cream is not solid or is
thawing out after 40 minutes of mixing.
This may occur if the freezer canister was not
frozen properly, the mixture was too warm or the
proportion of ingredients was incorrect.
Ingredients such as chips and nuts should be
added about 5 minutes before the recipe
is complete. Once the mixture has begun
to chicken, add the ingredients through the
ingredient spout. Nuts and other ingredients
should be no larger than a chocolate chip.
DO NOT use sharp objects or utensils inside the
canister. Sharp objects will scratch and damage
the inside of the canister. A rubber scraper or
wooden spoon may be used when the appliance
is turned off.
Note: The Ice Cream Maker will stop
rotation automatically when the mixture
gets extremely thick or if the unit has
been running for an excessively long
period of time, or if added ingredients
(nuts, ect.) are in extremely large pieces.
If the motor overheats. the unit will turn off
automatically. To avoid damage to the
appliance or injury to persons, ensure the
appliance is switched off and unplugged
from the power outlet if it automatically
stops or stalls. To reset the unit, put the
On/Off switch in the OFF position and
unplug the unit. Let the unit cool off. After
a few minutes, you may turn the unit on
again and continue making the mixture.

Care and Cleaning
Switch off and unplug the Ice Cream Maker from
the power outlet.
Disassemble and wash the freezer canister in
warm water with mild detergent.
Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
Note: Do not place any part of the Ice
Cream Maker in the dishwasher.
Wipe the exterior of the motor unit with a soft
damp sponge or cloth.
Do not clean with abrasive cleansers or
implements. Dry all parts thoroughly.
Note: Sharp utensils, scouring pads or
abrasive detergents may harm your
appliance.
Troubleshooting
Ice Cream texture is too soft/liquid
The canister must be kept and frozen in the
freezer properly. The freezer’s temperature
must be lower than -17ºC at all time. If for some
reason the freezer cannot go lower than -17ºC,
the ingredients have to be the coldest possible.
To do this, put the ingredients in the freezer until
the ingredients start to crystallize (approximately
one hour), then pour the ingredients into the ice
cream maker.
The paddle isn’t turning
Only the canister turns. The paddle should remain
stationary.
Specication
Voltage...........220-240V ~ 50Hz
Wattage..................50W
Storage
The ice cream mixture can be frozen further by
placing the freezer canister into the freezer for no
more than thirty minutes.
To store your ice cream for long periods of time,
place it in an air tight container in the freezer.
Do not put freezer canister in freezer if
the canister is wet and not protected by
a plastic bag. Do not store lid, paddle, or
motor base in freezer.
