top.
ßAlign the at end of the stem with the cut out in the motor arm, and push into position.
ßPlace the domed side of the lid face down over the top of the stem until resting on the motor arm with
the opening. Align the plastic ridge on the top of the lid with the bracket on the edge of the motor arm.

N.B. There should be a 1cm gap between the bottom of the paddle and the bottom of the stem.

ßFinally, carefully lift the mixing bowl out of the housing base.
C Making Frozen Desserts or Drinks

ßFirstly, prepare the ingredients required for your recipe, following the recipes in this instruction book or
your own.
ßPlace the mixing bowl in the housing base.
ßPour the ingredients into the mixing bowl.
ßAssemble the mixing arm and t to the top of the appliance.
ßTurn the dial to required time, 35-45 minutes for a soft dessert, 45-60 minutes for a hard dessert. The
mixing process will begin. The unit will automatically stop mixing and turn itself off when the set time has
elapsed, an audible tone will sound to alert you.

D Hints and Tips
ßProcessing time depends on the recipe, the amount of dessert being made and the temperature of the
ingredients being use. All recipes take between 35 and 60 minutes.
ßSoft ice cream takes between 35-45 minutes.
ßHard ice cream takes 45-60 minutes.
ßYour Ice Cream Professional 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 rmer
consistency, transfer the dessert to an airtight container and store in the freezer for at least 2 hours be-
fore serving.
ßAdd other ingredients e.g. chocolate chips and nuts approximately 5 minutes before the mixing is com-
plete. Once the dessert or drink has begun to thicken, add the ingredients through the lid whilst mixing
continues.
ßNuts and other ingredients should be no larger than a chocolate chip.
ßYou should begin with a maximum of 1 litre of mixture in the Ice Cream Professional.
ßSome recipes use precooked ingredients. For best results, the mixture should be chilled overnight before
using.
ßPrior to freezing, most mixed recipes may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
ßYou 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.
ßYou may also substitute articial sweeteners for sugar. If the recipe is to be precooked, add the sweetener
after the heating process is complete (the ingredients have been cooked). Stir the mixture thoroughly to
dissolve the sweetener.

11
ßWhen 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.
ßDo not ll the mixing bowl higher than 3cm from the top.Take this into consideration if you wish to add
extra ingredients through the lid.
ßWell chilled ingredients require shorter mixing times.
ßMixing times suggestions can vary due to ingredients and type of recipe.
Cleaning & Maintenance
ßBefore rst use and after every use, clean each part thoroughly.
ßAlways unplug the appliance from the mains outlet before cleaning.
ßWash the mixing bowl, mixing paddle and lid in warm soapy water. Dry each part thoroughly. Do not
wash any of the parts in the dishwasher.
ßEnsure the appliance is stored in an upright position.
ßWipe the housing base with a clean damp cloth, do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or scourers.
ßNever submerge the motor base in the water or other liquid, or place in a dishwasher.
