Using Your
Frozen Dessert Maker
1 Always ensure your Freezer Bowl is completely frozen before using.
Do not take the Freezer Bowl out of the freezer until your ingredients
are measured and prepared. Remove the cover from the insulated
case and place the Freezer Bowl in the case. Place the case with
freezer bowl on a stable level surface.
2 You can use recipes from this manual or enjoy your own variations.
Just ensure that you do not exceed more than 1.5 quarts after all
ingredients have been combined.
3 Assemble your Dessert Maker according to the instructions on
page 7.
4 You can add ingredients during the mixing process. Add nuts,
chocolate chips, or your other favorite ingredients through the hatch
located on the transparent cover. There is no need to stop the
mixing action and remove the cover.
5 Most recipes are complete in 25 – 40 minutes depending on the
beginning temperature of your ingredients, the amount of cream in
your mixture, and the total volume of your ingredients. Mixing time
can be decreased if you pre-chill your mixture in the refrigerator prior
to mixing.
6 Plug your appliance in and set the switch to the On position (I)
7 When the mixture has reached your desired consistency, switch the
power button to the Off position (O). Ice Cream and other frozen
desserts will be slightly firmer than soft-serve ice cream. If you would
like a firmer texture, place the mixture in an airtight container in the
freezer for 1 – 2 hours.
WARNING: Do not store any mixtures or other liquids in the
freezer bowl as they will stick to the interior of the unit and will damage
the Freezer Bowl. Always transfer completed recipes to an airtight
plastic container.
Helpful Hints (cont.)
6 If the recipe you are preparing needs to be cooked on the stove,
prepare it 24 hours in advance. This will allow you to store the base in
the refrigerator and have it properly chilled for processing.
7 Temperature and viscosity of the base is the number one factor in
determining processing time. A well-chilled base can be completed in
as little as 20 minutes.
8 The consistency of your ice cream upon completion is that of soft
serve. This is the same in the most expensive ice cream makers used
in restaurants. The difference is that restaurants (and manufacturing
facilities) use a “hardening cabinet” that blast freezes the ice cream
in a much shorter time frame than a standard home freezer. To
achieve the same hardness simply transfer your finished ice cream
to an airtight container and store in your freezer for 1 hour.
9 You can make delicious slushies with this appliance by simply
pouring your favorite carbonated beverage in the Freezer Bowl.
Do not attempt this with diet beverages as they will tend to freeze to
the side of the Freezer Bowl causing your mixing arm to
become stuck.
Care & Cleaning
Wash the Transparent Cover (after it has been removed from the
Motor Housing), Freezer Bowl and Mixing Arm in warm, soapy water.
DO NOT clean any of the parts with abrasive cleaners or steel wool. Do
not put any parts of your Dessert Maker in the dishwasher. Dry all parts
thoroughly after cleaning. The Freezer Bowl must be completely dry
prior to placing in the freezer. The Freezer Bowl is the only part that
should be placed in the freezer; all other parts should be stored in a
pantry or cabinet. We recommend that the Freezer Bowl always be
stored in the freezer so that you can use it at any time.
