Instructions for Use
Before first use, clean the lid, freezer bowl and mixing paddle in warm soapy water.
N.B. Do not clean any of the parts with abrasive cleaners or hard implements.
A Preparing the Freezer Bowl
nThe freezer bowl must be completely frozen before you begin. Before freezing, wash
and dry the bowl. Wrap it in a plastic bag to prevent freezer burn. The length of time
required to freeze in the freezer, depends on the temperature of your freezer.
nIn general, freezing time should be a minimum of 12 hours, with a freezer temperature
of -17°C or cooler. To determine whether the bowl is completely frozen, shake it. If you do
not hear liquid moving, the cooling liquid is frozen.
nWe recommend that you place the freezer bowl in the back of your freezer where it is
coldest. Place the freezer bowl on a flat surface in its upright position for even freezing.
For convenience, leave your freezer bowl in the freezer at all times. You can take it out
any time for immediate use.
B Assembling the Ice Cream Maker
N.B. The bowl will begin to defrost rapidly after being removed from the freezer. Have your
recipe prepared before assembling the ice cream maker to ensure perfect results.
nRemove the freezer bowl from the freezer and remove the plastic bag. Place the freezer
bowl into the centre of the base.
nPlace the mixing arm in the freezer bowl.
NOTE: The arm does not fit tightly, it just rests in the centre of the bowl, with the circle
facing up.
nPlace the lid onto the housing base, and twist to lock into place. The easy lock lid
mechanism allows the lid to rest on the base in multiple positions.

C Making Frozen Desserts
You can make lots of different frozen desserts using your Ice Cream Maker. There are a
selection of recipe ideas for Ice Cream, Gelato, Frozen Yoghurt and Sorbet at the back of
this booklet.
nFor best results, prepare the ingredients in a container from which it is easy to pour.
nSwitch to the ON position, the freezer bowl will begin to turn.
nImmediately pour ingredients through the lid. Always leave at least 2cm of space at the
top of the bowl as the ingredients will increase in volume during the freezing process.
nYou can add extra ingredients during the mixing process such as nuts and chocolate
chips. These should be added about 5 minutes before the end of the mixing process.
N.B. Nuts and other ingredients should be no larger than a chocolate chip.
nFrozen desserts will be ready in 20-30 minutes. Processing time depends on the recipe,
the amount of dessert being made and the temperature of the ingredients being used.
nIf the frozen dessert is stuck on top of the mixing arm, stop the machine briefly and use
a spatula to scoop the mixture off the arm back into the freezer bowl.
nDo not store the frozen desserts in the freezer bowl. Desserts will stick to the side of the
freezer bowl and may damage the bowl, always transfer to a plastic airtight container.
D Dismantling the Ice Cream Maker
nRemove the lid from the housing by twisting slightly out of its locked position and lifting
up.
nCarefully lift out the mixing arm, followed by the freezer bowl. Serve the ice cream, or,
for a firmer texture, scoop into an airtight container and place in the freezer.

E Hints &Tips
nYour recipe should be no more than 1.5 litres of liquid, as it will expand in volume.
nSome recipes use pre-cooked ingredients. For best results, the mixture should be chilled
overnight before using. Well chilled ingredients will require a shorter mixing time.
nPrior to freezing, most mixed recipes may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
(depending on the use by date of the ingredients being used)
nHomemade Ice Cream uses fresh 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 it in the freezer for at
least 2 hours before serving.
nYou may substitute double cream for lower fat creams and whole milk for lower fat
milk. 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 you will need to experiment with quantities and timing in order
to achieve the same consistency as achieved in the recipe ideas within this book.
nYou may also substitute artificial sweeteners for sugar. If the recipe is to be
pre-cooked, add the sweetener after the heating process is complete (the ingredients
have been cooked). Stir the mixture thoroughly to dissolve the sweetener.
N.B. If you are making a sorbet, the sugar should not be substituted. This is because
the sugar is required to stop the recipe from immediately freezing solid, and is an
important ingredient which helps to form the body and texture of the sorbet.
nWhen 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.
nMixing time suggestions can vary due to ingredients and type of recipe.
