How to Make Ice Cream
2
134
Allow freezer bowl(s) to freeze
completely. NOTE: Liquid con-
tained in freezer bowl(s) is
nontoxic.
Prepare ice cream mixture.
NOTE: Use between 180-360 ml
(6–12 oz.) of mixture. Do not
exceed 360 ml (12 oz.).
Chill mixture in refrigerator. Insert mixing paddle into motor
housing.
FOR BEST RESULTS:
• Before churning, thoroughly chill ice cream
mixture in the refrigerator and the freezer bowl(s)
in freezer. Freezer bowl(s) should remain in the
freezer for at least 8 hours before use. Freezer
temperature should be set to the coldest setting
and bowls should be placed towards the back
wall.
• This unit produces soft serve ice cream—the
consistency will not be the same as hard, store-
bought ice cream.
• If ice cream is not made after running the unit for
15 minutes maximum, your bowls have not been
frozen long enough OR your freezer is not cold
enough. See Troubleshooting section.
• If you wish to store any leftover ice cream in the
freezer bowl, simply place it inside a large plastic
zippered storage bag and put it back into the
freezer.

Allow paddle to churn in mixture
for approximately 5–15 minutes.
If needed, press down lightly on
lid during the first few minutes
of churning. This may be needed
from time to time on lower-fat/
lower-sugar recipes.
NOTE: Pushing too hard will
result in the paddle reversing
back and forth.

6
Ensure lid with motor housing is securely placed on freezer bowl.
Plug into outlet. Press switch to ON (I).
IMPORTANT: Place lid on bowl quickly after pouring ingredients into
bowl, within a few seconds if possible. This will yield better results.

5
Pour chilled mixture into freezer
bowl. Do not exceed 12 oz.
(360 ml) of chilled mixture. Make
ice cream one bowl at a time.

Unit will not turn OFF automatical-
ly. You must press switch to OFF
(O) to stop churning. Unplug from
outlet.
11
Remove lid. Frozen mixture may
be eaten directly out of the freezer
bowl. To prevent surface scratch-
ing, using plastic utensils is rec-
ommended when eating directly
from freezer bowls.
TO MAKE:
6 ounces (180 ml)
12 ounces (360 ml)
CHURN APPROXIMATELY:
5–6 minutes
8–9 minutes
After turning unit off, let it sit with the paddle and lid still attached
for approximately 2 minutes (see Step 10).
NOTE: If the ice cream mixture is too thick, or sat in freezer bowl
too long before churning, the paddle may struggle and/or reverse
directions. Turn unit OFF (O), break up the mixture in the bowl
with a spoon, replace the paddle, and turn back ON (I).
9
Ice cream is done when it looks
like “soft serve.” A thin layer of
ice cream may stick to the out-
side of bowl; this is normal. Turn
OFF (O); then let sit with mixing
paddle/lid still attached for about
2 minutes, allowing the ice
cream to freeze further.

Tips for Best Results
• The machine will run until turned off. See Troubleshooting
if your unit did not make ice cream in 15 minutes.
• Add mix-ins, such as chocolate chips or chopped nuts,
after ice cream has churned for at least 5 minutes or
when mixture is thick and has started to freeze. Make sure
the mixing paddle is firmly pressed down to the bottom of
the freezer bowl when replacing lid (after adding mix-ins).
The mixing paddle should continue scraping the freezer
bowl and not sit on top of the mix-in ingredients.
• The finished result is a soft, spoonable ice cream.
Homemade ice cream will not be the same consistency
as hard, store-bought ice cream.
• Ice cream tastes best when fresh. It will begin to lose its
fresh taste after several days in the freezer.
• Using metal utensils may scratch the surface of the freezer
bowls, but this will not harm the unit. Plastic utensils are
recommended when eating directly from the freezer bowls
to extend the life of your unit.
• Placing hand on lid and pressing down lightly will help
churning and prevent as much ice cream from sticking to the
side of the bowl. A thin layer of ice cream will always stick to
the outside of the bowl; this is normal.
• Keep the freezer bowl(s) in the freezer so that you can make
ice cream at any time.
• For best results, the freezer bowl must be frozen thoroughly.
Make sure to set your freezer at the coldest setting
(temperature should not be more than 0°F [-18°C]).
• Firmness of ice cream depends on variables such as the rec-
ipe used, room temperature, and temperature of ingredients
before churning.
• Some recipes require the mixture to be precooked. Make
the recipe at least one day ahead. This will allow the mixture
to cool completely and increase volume. Base mixture may
not freeze if it is not thoroughly chilled.
• Do not remove freezer bowl from the freezer until ready
to use.
• Do not puncture or heat the freezer bowl.

Cleaning
13
Wipe motor housing with a damp
cloth. Do not immerse in water or
other liquid.
4
Wash lid, mixing paddle, and
freezer bowl in sink. The lid and
mixing paddle may be placed in
the top rack of the dishwasher.
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Disconnect power before cleaning.
Do not immerse motor housing or cord in any liquid.
WARNING
2
Squeeze locking tabs and remove
motor housing from lid.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
Ice cream is not firm enough or
ice cream maker is still running
after 15 minutes.
Ice cream maker stops churning
before ice cream is ready.
Surface of bowl(s) scratched.
Ice cream too firm.
Thick layer of ice cream sticking
to sides of bowl(s).
PROBABLE CAUSE
• The freezer bowl was not in the freezer long enough (for best results, at least 8 hours or
preferably overnight).
• The freezer is not cold enough. Ice cream sets at 10° to 14°F (-12° to -10°C). If the freezer
is not at 0°F (-18°C), the ice cream will not set.
• Too much mixture was put in freezer bowl. Maximum fill is 12 oz. (360 ml).
• Ingredients are warm or at room temperature.
• The freezer bowl was left at room temperature for more than 5 minutes before use.
• The freezer door was opened and closed too many times during the freezing process.
• The freezer bowl has a thick coating of ice on the walls. After washing, dry completely prior to
placing back in freezer.
• Mix-in ingredients, such as chocolate chips or chopped nuts, were added too soon. Wait until ice
cream has churned for at least 15 minutes or until mixture is thick and has started to freeze before
adding.
• The mix-in ingredients are too large, causing the paddle to jam. Chop nuts or other ingredients
before adding.
• Too large a quantity of mix-in ingredients has been added. Add one cup or less of mix-in ingredients.
• Using metal utensils may scratch the surface of the freezer bowls, but this will not harm the unit.
Plastic utensils are recommended when eating directly from the freezer bowls to extend the life of
your unit.
• To order replacement bowls, call the customer service number located on the front cover of this
Use and Care guide.
• Letting the ice cream sit in the freezer bowls for some time after churning will make the mixture
very firm and difficult to scoop. Simply allow the churned mixture to sit for a few additional minutes
and it will begin to soften again.
• A thin layer of ice cream on the sides of bowl is normal. Greater sticking tends to be present in low-
er-fat/lower-sugar recipes. When churning, place hand lightly on lid for the first few minutes to help
these recipes begin to freeze.
