Instructions for Use
Before first use, clean the lid, mixing 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 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.

10
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.
nFrozen desserts will be ready in 20-30 minutes. The time will depend on the recipe
and volume of the dessert you are making. If you desire a firmer consistency, transfer
the dessert to an airtight container and store in the freezer for 2 or more hours.
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.
nProcessing time depends on the recipe, the amount of dessert being made and the
temperature of the ingredients being used. All recipes take between 20 and 30
minutes.
nSome recipes use pre-cooked 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
(depending on the use by date of the ingredients being used)

11
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.
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.
nWell chilled ingredients require shorter mixing time.
nMixing time suggestions can vary due to ingredients and type of recipe.
nIngredients such as chocolate chips and nuts should be added about 5 minutes before
the recipe is complete.
nNuts and other ingredients should be no larger than a chocolate chip.
N.B. The ice cream will lose its soft consistency and harden after it is stored in the freezer.

12
Cleaning &Maintenance
nAlways unplug the appliance before cleaning.
nTo clean the base, wipe with a damp cloth and dry. Never use abrasive cleaners or
immerse in water.
nTo clean the freezer bowl, lid and mixing arm, wash by hand in warm soapy water
and dry thoroughly before storing. Do not put in the dishwasher. Never use abrasive
cleaners or utensils such as scouring pads as this will damage the bowl.
nDo not put the freezer bowl in the freezer if it is wet. Do not store the lid, mixing arm
or base in the freezer. You may store the mixing bowl in the freezer, in its upright
position for convenient, immediate use. Before freezing, wrap the bowl in a plastic bag
to prevent freezer burn.
nDo not store frozen desserts in the freezer bowl. Transfer desserts to an airtight
container for longer storage in the freezer.
