RECIPES
Plan Ahead
• The Canister must be kept in the freezer for a minimum of 24 hours
before each use.
• The prepared recipe mixture must be cooled in a refrigerator or
before each use.
• Each recipe makes about 6-8 servings.
chilled in a freezer (as detailed in the recipe) before it is poured
. Plan this time into your preparation.
HELPFUL HINTS - Recipes:
• Specially formulated recipes are provided in the manual. Please
follow these recipes.
• Before pouring the mixture into the Canister, please ensure there
are no lumps.
• Do not use cream labelled "extra thick" or UHT creams or milk, as
the heat process alters their proteins and affects churning.
• Do not use typical hard ice cream recipes as it may damage the unit.
This includes any recipes that contain nuts, chocolate chips, fruit
pieces, or any other solid chunks.
• Most recipes require the mixture to be pre-cooked. For best
results, make the recipe at least one day ahead. This will allow the
mixture time to cool completely and provide the best results.
• Eggs may be substituted with egg substitutes.
• When using eggs in any recipes, heating or cooking the recipe
mixture is necessary.
• Ice cream should be stored in an air-tight container.
• The volume of soft serve ice cream will increase during the
freezing process. Do not fill the Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker all the
way to the top.
• The Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker has a 60 minute auto shut off
device and will automatically stop churning after this time.
• After each use you must wash and refreeze the Canister. If you
have purchased a second Canister allow a 4 hour period for the
motor to cool before using the Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker again.
• If the Soft Serve Ice Ceam Maker stops while churning, check that
no frozen lumps are jamming the rotating plastic blade - See
Troubleshooting on page 8.
NOTE: Please use the provided Cleaning Brush for hard to reach
areas, like the Canister Lid Tube.
HELPFUL HINTS - Cleaning:
• The cleaning brush included provides an excellent way to clean the
hard to reach places in your ice cream maker.
• Use a damp cloth to carefully wipe the outside of the Motor
Housing after each usage.
• To ensure a thorough cleaning, the Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker
should be completely disassembled prior to cleaning.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Ice cream did not hold shape:
• Was the Recipe made correctly?
• Were the proper ingredients used?
• Was the mixture chilled long enough?
• Was the Canister left in the freezer for a full 24 hours?
• Not all freezers are the same; some may require a longer freezing
time for the canister.
The Dasher is not turning / Unit stopped while dispensing:
• The mixture became too thick. Try dispensing sooner when using
that particular recipe.
• Check that no frozen lumps are jamming the rotating plastic blade.
• The motor over-heated – unplug the unit and let the unit cool down
for approximately 4 hours.
• Make sure the unit is attached to a power supply.
• Make sure the unit is properly assembled.
Ice Cream is leaking from unit:
• Make sure Rubber Sealing Ring is securely attached.
• Make sure there is no ice on the edge of the Canister underneath
Rubber Sealing Ring.
• Make sure all three Locking Latches on the Top Cover are secure.
