in warm, soapy water. Be sure to rinse and dry all parts
thoroughly. DO NOT IMMERSE MOTOR ASSEMBLY
IN WATER. To clean, wipe with adamp cloth.
Freezing The Freezer Bowl
The most important step in making frozen desserts is
to make sure the Freezer Bowl is properly frozen. Your
Ice Cream Maker features adouble insulated bowl
and requires thorough freezing.The length of time
'necessary to properly freeze the Freezer Bowl will
depend on how cold the freezer temperature is.
Freezer Temperature Approx. Min. Freezing Time
-30°C/-22°F 8-9 hours
-25°C/-13°F 12-13 hours
-18°C/0°F 20-22 hours
-15°C/5°F 24 hours or more
As there is liquid in between the Freezer Bowl walls, shake
the Freezer Bowl to check the ideal freezing condition;
you should not hear any liquid moving within the walls.
NOTE: Continually storing the Freezer Bowl in the
freezer allows you the flexibility to make your favorite
frozen dessert at a moment's notice.

HowTo Use Your Ice Cream Maker
This ice cream maker can make up to 1.5 quart of
ice cream. Due to an increase in volume during
preparation, the maximum amount must not exceed
0.8quarts of liquid. If using your own recipes, adapt
the volume of mixture to this amount.
1.Make sure unit switch is in OFF (O) position.
2. Remove FREEZER BOWL from freezer, and place it
in the BASE. (See figure 1)
3. Insert PADDLE into theMOTOR ASSEMBLY, (see figure 2).

Figure 3A Figure 3B Figure 4
6. Pour the prepared ice cream mixture through the
COVER/MIXING FEEDER located on the top. (See
Figure 5)
NOTE: It is extremely important that the FREEZER
BOWL be used immediately after it is removed
from the freezer, as it begins to thaw once
removed. First, make sure that the ice cream
mixture is ready, then remove the FREEZER BOWL
from freezer.
7. Leave the machine ON for approximately 15-30
minutes, or until the mixture reaches the desired
consistency. Do not turn the appliance off during use,
as the mixture may freeze and prevent the movement
ofthe Paddle. After 40 minutes turn unit OFF.
NOTE:To avoid overheating of the Motor, the direction
of the rotation will change if the mixture becomes too
thick. If the direction of rotation continues to change, the
mixture is completely prepared, turn off unit immediately.
8. When done, remove PADDLE from ice cream. Only use
rubber, plastic, or wooden utensils to serve from the
FREEZER BOWL. Metal spoons may damage it.
To add ingredients after the freezing process has
begun, gently add them through the Mixing Feeder.

To further harden the ice cream, you may put the
FREEZER BOWL with the ice cream contents into the
freezer for a short period of time (no more than 30
minutes). Long term freezing, however, should be
done in an airtight container.

Helpful Hints
•Some recipes require the mixture to be pre-
cooked. Make the recipe at least one day ahead.
This will allow the mixture to cool completely and
adds volume.
•Uncooked recipes will yield best results when
an electric mixer is used to cream the eggs and
sugar. This helps increase volume in the ice cream
mixture. Eggs must be cooked properly. See our
eggbased recipes for instructions.
•Most ice cream recipes are a combination of
cream, milk, eggs and sugar. You can use any
type of cream you like, but the type of cream you
use will affect the flavor and texture. The higher
percentage of fat, the richer the ice cream and
the softer the texture. For example, heavy cream
has at least 36% fat, followed by: whipping cream
(30%), coffee or light cream (18%) and half &half
(1 0%). Any combination can be used, but make
sure the liquid measurement remains the same. For
example, lighter ice creams can be made by using
more milk than cream, or by eliminating cream
altogether. Skim milk may be used, but there will
be anoticeable difference in texture and taste.
•The ice cream mixture will stay fresh in the
refrigerator for several days. Be sure to mix well
before adding to the Freezer Bowl.
www.oster.com

•When pouring mixture into the Freezer Bowl, be
sure to stop at least 1"(2.5 cm) from the top, as
mixture will increase in volume during the freezing
process.
•Alcohol inhibits the freezing process. To add
alcohol to a recipe, add when the mixture is semi-
stiff.
•The flavor of asorbet will depend greatly on the
ripeness and sweetness of the fruit and/or juice. If
fruit is too tart, add sugar; if the fruit is very ripe,
decrease or omit the sugar. Freezing subdues
sweetness, so the recipe will not be quite as sweet
when frozen.
•Artificial sweeteners can be used as a substitute for
sugar.
NOTE: Heat affects the sweetness of artificial
sweetener. Only add artificial sweeteners to
mixture that are cold or have been completely
cooled. When arecipe calls for heating liquid to
dilute sugar, omit the heating process and simply
stir in the sweetener until it is well dissolved.
The following table shows substitutions for artificial
sweetener used in place of sugar:
1packet of sweetener =2teaspoons (10ml) sugar
6packets =1/4 cup (60ml)
8packets =1/3 cup (75ml)
'
12 packets =1/2 (125ml)
10 www.oster.com
•The ice cream mixture should be liquid when
preparation starts. Do not use stiff mixtures (i.e.
whipped cream, frozen liquids).
•When adapting your own recipes to the maximum
amount 1.5 quart, you should change all
ingredients to the same percentage.
•Do not operate the appliance longer than required.
If after 40 minutes, the mixture is not yet solid, or
has thawed again, do not continue.
Possible reasons for mixture not freezing:
-the Freezer Bowl was not cold enough
-the mixture was too warm
-the proportion of ingredients was incorrect
•Do not store prepared ice cream in the Freezer
Bowl for more than afew days.
•The room temperature may affect the freezing time.
•Time varies depending on recipe.
Waste Disposal
The liquid in the Freezer Bowl contains no toxic
materials. Dispose as normal household waste.
