SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
SHORT CORD PURPOSE
POLARIZED PLUG
If the plug still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician. Never use the plug
with an extension cord unless the plug
can be fully inserted into the extension
cord. Do not alter the plug of the
product or any extension cord being
used with this product. Do not attempt
to defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
If this appliance is equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other), please follow the below
instructions:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this plug is intended to t into a
polarized outlet only one way. If you
are unable to t the plug into the
electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.
If an extension cord is used: (1) the
marked electrical rating of the extension
cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the product; (2) the
extension cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the counter
top or tabletop where it can
unintentionally be pulled on or tripped
over by children or pets.
Note: A short power cord is provided
to reduce the risk of personal injury
resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a long cord.
Longer power-supply cords or
extension cords may be used if care
is exercised in their use.

HOW TO USE
PREP – Chill the ice cream canister in the freezer for 2-3 hours prior to use. Do not
leave the canister inside the freezer for more than 6-hours.
1. Using your favorite recipe, prepare the necessary ingredients per the recipe
instructions.
2. Pour the prepared and chilled ice cream mixture into the chilled ice cream
canister. Do not ll more than 2/3 full.
3. Insert the Blending Spatula and make sure the bottom of the spatula is xed in
the center of the bottom of the canister. (Figure 1)
4. Place the lid on the canister. (Figure 2)
5. Place the canister into the plastic liner and make sure it engages the cone in
the center of the liner. (Figure 3)
6. Line up the rectangular end of the electric motor to the rectangular hole on
the rim of the liner (Figure 4). The opposite end of the motor will drop into the
corresponding rectangular hole (Figure 5). Carefully, slightly rotate the motor
counter-clockwise to secure the motor to the liner (Figure 6).
Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3
Figure 4 Figure 5 Figure 6
7. Now prepare the plastic liner by lling it with ice to the top of the canister.
8. Add 1-2 cups of rock salt to the top of the ice inside the liner.
9. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
NOTE: While using the motor during the churning process, the canister should be
turning which will be churning the ice cream ingredients. The Blending Spatula
will remain stationary. If the canister is not spinning, the assembly is not set up
properly and will need to be re-adjusted.
10. Run the cranking system for approximately 5 minutes so that the canister chills
evenly.
11. As the ice begins to melt down by 2-3 inches, add more ice and more cups of
rock salt into the liner.

12. Allow the machine to churn for 45 minutes. (If the motor has stopped
prematurely, unplug the power cord, break up any ice blockages with a stirrer
and start it up again).
13. Once the churning is complete, unplug and remove the motor. Clear the ice
and salt away from the lid of the canister to prevent it from falling into the
canister of ice cream.
14. Remove the cover and carefully lift out the blending spatula and scrape off any
excess ice cream.
15. The ice cream consistency is very fresh so it will be more of a soft-serve texture.
16. If a harder consistency is desired, transfer the contents to a freezable container
and freeze for 3-4 hours.
TIPS & NOTES:
• Use ice that is crushed inside the liner. Ice should be small, coarse pieces.
• As the canister is turning, make sure to periodically mix salt and ice together by
using a stirrer every 10-15 minutes while the machine is in use.
• It is recommended to store the ice cream inside the freezing canister.
• If the ice cream consistency is too soft, put the contents into a freezable
container and freeze for 3-4 hours.
• For recipes that require pre-cooking, it is recommended that ingredients be
prepped several hours ahead. The mixtures will need time to chill and expand.
• Avoid getting the main metal bucket wet and always dry thoroughly before
storage. This will help retain the natural nish and avoid rust and overall wear.
CAUTION:
• Do not plug up the drainage hole on the side of the bucket. This is for draining
excess salt water and should be kept open at all time.
• If the electric motor stops churning before the 45-minutes is complete, check
to make sure there is no blockage of ice jamming against the canister. If there
is ice blocking the canister, unplug power cord and remove the jammed ice.
