Important safeguards for all electrical appliances
The appliance is heated electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power socket to
connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conductor
(earth/ground)connectedproperly.Ensurethatthevoltageratingofyourmainspowersupply
corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (220 - 240 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for
at least 8 A) to avoid interference with other appliances. The installation of a residual current
operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated residual operating current of 30 mA
in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact your electrician
for further information. In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are
subject to incompatible norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries
do not meet the requirements for safe operation of the appliance. Thus, before operating the
appliance abroad, ensure that safe operation is possible.
• Donotuseanydesktopmultisocketoutlet,externaltimer,orremotecontrolsystemsIt is best
to avoid using an extension cord, but if you wish to use one, only use an extension cord rated
for a maximum continuous current of at least 8 A with safety plug and safety coupler plug and
protective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Additionally, the extension cord must
be of sufficient length. Always ensure that no one will step on power cords or gets entangled or
trip over power cords. Also, ensure that no tension is applied to any part of the power cords.
Tie the extension cord loosely onto the leg of the table using a separate cord, to ensure that no
one will pull the power cord. To connect: always connect the appliance to the extension cord
first. To disconnect: Always unplug the extension cord from the power supply first.
• Alwayshandlepowercordswithcare.Thepinsofthepowerplugmustbesmoothand
clean. Always completely unwind the power cord before use. Do not place the appliance on
a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted, twisted, pulled, strained or squeezed. Do
not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. The power cord may
nottouchhotsurfacesorsharpedges.Ensurethatnoonewillpulltheappliancebythepower
cord. Take care not to entangle in the power cord. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the
power cord. Do not touch the appliance or power plug with wet hands when the appliance is
connected to the power supply.

38
39
• DO NOT drip or spill any liquids on or in the housing or power cord. Always ensure that
the exterior of the bread pan is clean and dry before placing the bread pan on/in the heating
compartment. Otherwise liquid could run into the housing, causing risk of electric shock or
fire. Do not immerse the appliance or power cord in water or other liquids. Do not pour or
spill any liquids on/in the housing or power cord. Do not place the appliance on wet surfaces.
When liquids overflowed or are spilled on the housing or power cord, immediately unplug
the appliance. Thereafter, clean the appliance and, leaving the lid open, let it dry for at least
1 day. (See: ›Care and Cleaning‹) Do not clean the appliance in an automatic dishwasher.

TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
• Notetimetakentomakefrozendessertscanvarydependingontheambientroomtem-
perature, temperature of the ingredients and pre cooling the machine. Note the cooler the
ingredients the faster the ice cream process. As a general guideline it takes around 50
minutes to make ice cream.
• Whenmakingcrèmeanglaiseandrecipesthatrequireheatingingredients,it’salwaysa
good idea to make this the day before. Alternatively, cool ingredients for at least 4 hours
prior to making ice cream.
• Alwaysaddingredientsintothebowlbeforeinsertingintotheicecreammaker.
• Icecreamrecipesstatedinthisinstructionbookletuseingredientssuchascream,milk,
eggs and sugar. These ingredients can be substituted with similar ingredients to suit different
taste or dietary requirements. Note, taste and texture will vary if using different ingredients.
• Mostdessertbaseswillexpandduringthechurningandfreezingprocess.Allmixtures
in this instruction booklet will make approximately 1 litre of frozen dessert unless otherwise
specified. If using ice cream mixtures from other recipes, do not exceed 700 ml of ingredient
base to allow for the expansion.
• Alcoholinhibitsthefreezingprocess.It’sbesttoaddalcoholtowardstheendoftheice
cream making process.
• Theconsistencyofthefrozendessertmadeisaspoonablemixture.Pleasenotethatifyou
are serving in cones or on plates that it’s best to place the ice cream in the freezer for 2 hours
prior to serving.

44
45
• Whenstoringyourfrozendessertinthefreezer,ensurethatthecontainerisairtightand
well sealed. This will prevent ice crystals forming. Putting a piece of baking or grease proof
paper directly over the top of the frozen dessert will also help with this.
Note: Do not place the ice cream bowl in the freezer.
• Frozendessertsarebesteatenwithin1weekofchurningbutcanbekeptforupto2
weeks.

Tips for making Crème Anglaise (custard base )
• Traditionallycreamytexturedicecreamismadefromacrèmeanglaise,custardbase.
Below are tips on achieving the prefect crème anglaise time after time.
• Makesureallingredientsarefresh.
• Eggsarebestatroomtemperatureformakingacustardbase.Recipesarebasedonmin
mass 59 g eggs.
• Ensurethatyoumeasureallyouringredientsfirstandhavethemreadybeforeyoustartto
cook.
• Eitheruseawirewhiskorelectrichandbeater,beateggsyolksandsugaruntiltheyare
pale and thick.
• Useaheavybottomsaucepanwhencookingcrèmeanglaise.
• Whenheatingthecream/milkyoudon’twanttoboilit.Agoodguidetoknowwhento
remove the cream/milk from the heat is when little bubbles start to form around the edge of
the cream/ milk.
• Whilethecream/milkmixtureisheatingstarttobeatthesugarandeggs.Waitingtodo
this after the cream/milk mixture has heated may cause the cream/milk to overheat and
separate.
• Ensurethatthemixtureisconstantlystirredwithawoodenspoonuntilitthickens.Aflat
bottom wooden spoon works best. To test using the back of the spoon, coat the spoon in the
crème anglaise. Run your finger through the mixture on the back of the spoon. If the finger
mark stays then the mixture is thick enough. Remove mixture immediately.
• Ifthemixtureseparatesorcurdlesthenheatistoohigh.Ifthemixtureseparatesyouwill
need to start again.
• Donotleavecrèmeanglaiseunattendedwhilecooking.
• Crèmeanglaisewilltake5-15minutestothickendependingonquantitiesetc.
• Alwaysallowthemixturetocoolatroomtemperaturestirringoccasionallytoreleaseheat
until there is no visible steam coming from the mix. Once cooled then refrigerate until well
chilled.
• Placeapieceofplasticwrapdirectlyontopofthecremeanglaisetopreventaskinfor-
ming on top.
• Tocoolthemixturequicklyitcanbeputinametalbowlandthenintoanicebathand
stirred constantly until well chilled.

The vital ingredients
EGGS
All the recipes in this book were tested using standard min mass 59g eggs. The egg gives
ice cream volume, stabilises and emulsifies the mixture. The yolk of the egg contains lecithin,
which acts as an emulsifier to bond with the fat globules.
Note: Avoid using older eggs, especially if you are not cooking the mixture. Pregnant wo-
men are not advised to consume ice cream containing raw eggs.
SUGAR
Caster sugar was used in all the recipes as it dissolves easily and to reduce crystallisation
(when large ice crystals form) from occurring. Standard white sugar can be substituted but
takes a little longer to dissolve. As a general rule, when it comes to sugar in ice cream, more
sugar added will lower the freezing point of the water inside the mixture, which prevents
your frozen dessert from forming a large hard clump that is difficult to scoop.
MILK
Full cream milk was used for all milk based recipes. Lower fat varieties can be substituted
but the same result will not be achieved. Low fat milk should only be substituted for recipes
that do not require cooking. Low fat milks have a high chance of separating during cooking.
CREAM
Pouring cream was used in all the recipes. The cream gives fattiness and a smoother tex-
ture to the ice cream. Reduced fat cream can be substituted but only for recipes that do not
require cooking as the low fat varieties have a high chance of separating during cooking.
CARE AND CLEANING
Always ensure that the appliance is out of reach of young children. Always
switch off the appliance (START/STOP button), then unplug the appliance, and wait until the
