Using the Ice Cream Maker
Before first use, clean the lid, mixing bowl and mixing paddles in warm soapy water.
N.B. Do not clean any of the parts with abrasive cleaners, hard implements or in the
dishwasher.
nPlug the unit into a suitable mains socket. The red LED light will illuminate and flash
to indicate the unit is in standby mode.
nPrepare the ingredients either using your own recipes or those provided on page 13.
N.B. If using your own recipes do not fill the mixing bowl more than 4cm from the
top (approx 1 litre max). As the mixture freezes it will increase in size.
nInsert mixing bowl into the base, ensure the bowl is correctly aligned.
nDepending on the type of frozen dessert you are making, insert either the ice cream
paddle or the gelato paddle into the mixing bowl. The ice cream paddle churns
ingredients perfectly for smooth, creamy results. The gelato paddle incorporates less
air into the ingredients and creates richly textured results with intense flavour. This
paddle is also ideal for sorbet. Ensure the mixing paddle is resting in the centre of the
mixing bowl.
nPour the ingredients into the mixing bowl. Postion the clear lid by lining up the arrow
on the lid with the unlock icon on the base. Lock into place by turning anti clockwise.
The arrow on the lid should now be lined up with the lock icon on the base.
nPress the power button, the red LED light will stay illuminated and static. The LCD
screen will display ‘00’.
nPress the timer button to set the time from 60 to 10 minutes. The timer will default
to 60 minutes. Press and release the timer button to decrease the time in 1 minute
increments. Press and hold to scroll down more quickly.
N.B. If you add too much time keep pressing the timer until it will bring you back
to 10 minutes.
nPress the Start/Stop button, the freezing process will now begin.
nThe LCD screen will count down to zero and the unit will beep 3 times to indicate when
the process has finished.
N.B. The red LED will illuminate and flash and the LCD display will flash ‘00’.
nTurn the unit off by pressing the power button.
N.B. There should be a 1cm gap between the bottom of the paddle and the bottom
of the stem.

10
To Pause
nYou can press the Start/Stop button at any stage during the freezing to pause. To
restart, press the Start/Stop button again and the process will continue.
To Add Time
nYou can add time at any stage during the freezing process. Press the Start/Stop
button to pause then press the timer button to increase the time remaining. Time will
increase in 5 minute increments.
Adding Extra Ingredients
nAdd other ingredients e.g. chocolate chips and nuts approximately 5 minutes before
mixing is complete. To do this simply unlock the lid to remove, insert ingredients and
replace the lid and lock back into place.
Hints and Tips
Processing time depends on the recipe, the amount of dessert being made and the
temperature of the ingredients being used. All recipes take between 35 and 60 minutes.
nSoft ice cream takes between 35-45 minutes.
nHard ice cream takes 45-60 minutes.
nYour Ice Cream Maker makes ice cream using fresh natural ingredients, i.e. without
the preservatives etc as found in commercial ice creams. Therefore it will not have the
same hard consistency. For a firmer consistency, transfer the dessert to an airtight
container and store in the freezer for at least 2 hours before serving.
nWell chilled ingredients require shorter mixing times.
nAdd other ingredients e.g. chocolate chips and nuts approximately 5 minutes before
the mixing is complete.
nNuts and other ingredients should be no larger than a chocolate chip.
nYou should begin with a maximum of 1 litre of mixture in the Ice Cream Maker. As the
mixture freezes it will increase in size.
nSome recipes use precooked ingredients. For best results, the mixture should be chilled
overnight before using.
nPrior to freezing, most mixed recipes may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
nYou may substitute lower fat creams and milk for double cream and whole milk used
in many recipes. However, the higher the fat content the richer and creamier the
result. Using lower fat substitutes may change the taste, consistency and texture of
the dessert. When substituting ingredients, ensure you use the same quantity of the
substitute as the original ingredient required.
nYou may also substitute artificial sweeteners for sugar. If the recipe is to be precooked,
add the sweetener after ingredients have been cooked. Stir the mixture thoroughly to

11
dissolve the sweetener. When making sorbet, test the ripeness and sweetness of the
fruit before you begin. The freezing process reduces the sweetness of the fruit so that
it will not taste as sweet as the recipe mixture. If the fruit tastes tart, add sugar to
the recipe. If the fruit is very ripe or sweet, reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe.
nDo not fill the mixing bowl higher than 4cm from the top. Take this into consideration
if you wish to add extra ingredients towards the end.
Cleaning &Maintenance
nBefore first use and after every use, clean each part thoroughly.
nAlways unplug the appliance from the mains outlet before cleaning.
nWash the mixing bowl, mixing paddles and lid in warm soapy water. Dry each part
thoroughly. Do not wash any of the parts in the dishwasher.
nEnsure the appliance is stored in an upright position.
nWipe the housing base with a clean damp cloth, do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or
scourers.
nNever submerge the motor base in the water or other liquid, or place in a dishwasher.
