HOW TO OPERATE
1. First, nd a stable surface near an electrical outlet before starting. Make sure the cord
is away from any water source. It is acceptable to use an extension cord if needed.
2. Chill ice cream Canister until cold to the touch. Fill wood bucket 3/4 full with water
and let sit for 20 minutes. This will allow wood to swell up so the salt brine solution
does not leak out during the churning process. Discard water after 20 minutes.
3. Pour chilled ice cream mixture into the chilled Canister. Make sure that you do not
ll Canister more than ²/3full, as mixture will expand during freezing process.
4. Insert the Dasher into the Canister and make sure the bottom of the
Dasher is properly aligned in the center of the Canister.
5. Place the Lid on the Canister, then place the Canister into the plastic
stabilizing support in the bottom center of the Wood Bucket.
6. Slide the rectangular end of the Electric Motor into the rectangular hole on the rim of the
bucket. The opposite end of the crank will drop into the open end where the latch is.
7. Gently lift the latch so that the wire goes over the rounded end of the motor. You may
need to rotate the Canister by hand so that the Lid ts into the Electric Motor.
8. Before adding ice, be sure that the ice you put into the bucket is broken into small,
rough pieces. You may use a mallet or hammer to break into smaller pieces if
needed. For each batch of ice cream, expect to use 1-2 medium bags of ice.
9. Fill the Wood Bucket with a small layer of ice (about 8 cups)
evenly distributed around the base of the Canister.
10. Cover the rst layer of ice evenly with a layer of rock salt (about ½ cup). Regular
table salt or kosher salt can also be used. Salt is necessary for the freezing process.
It may take a total of 2 - 4 cups of salt to freeze ice cream mixture properly (1lb.
salt = 2 cups / 2 lbs. salt = 4 cups). The more salt that you use, the better.
11. Repeat steps 10 and 11, layering the ice and salt until it reaches the top of
the Canister. Stop when the top of the mixture reaches the bottom of the
drainage hole on the side of the Wood Bucket. Adding more ice may cause the
mixture to leak out of the drainage hole. NOTE: As the ice melts down 2 to 3
inches, you may add more ice and more rock salt to the Wood Bucket.
12. Plug the power cord attached to the Electric Motor into
an outlet, then turn on the Electric Motor.
13. As the Canister turns, stir and mix the salt and ice together every 10-15
minutes, or as needed, while the ice cream maker is in use. NOTE: During the
churning process, the Canister turns; the Dasher remains stationary.
14. Turn o and unplug Electric Motor once ice cream has churned for about
30 minutes, or once the Electric Motor has stopped. If the motor stops
prematurely, turn it o, break up any ice blockages, and start again.
15. With one hand on the Canister Lid, remove the Electric Motor from the
Bucket. Be careful as the Canister may oat in the ice water.
16. Clear the ice and salt away from the top of the Canister. Wipe carefully
to remove the salt and water before removing the cover. Take the
Dasher out and scrape o excess ice cream with a spatula.
17. Transfer ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze, or serve straight from the
Canister. Lid and Lid Cap are included for the option of storing the Canister in the freezer.
