3. After 15 minutes, lift the Lid and check the freezing. Use a whisk or spoon to detach the ice cream and stir several times to aerate the mixture. (Image 3, Image 4)

4. For a lighter consistency use an electric hand mixer and beat the semi-frozen mixture for 1-2 minutes to incorporate a greater amount of air. (Image 5)

5. Replace the lid and let the ice cream maker freeze the mixture until it reaches the desired consistency, it should take an additional 5-15 minutes. (Image 6)

Trouble Shooting

Lid is frozen to Canister

• When the Ice Cream Maker is first removed from the freezer, place the Ice Cream Maker on counter or table, the temperature of the room should thaw the Lid in 2-3 minutes.

• When making ice cream, if you allow the mixture to freeze completely, the Lid may be difficult to remove.

• Either allow to thaw naturally or use a spoon to gently release the Lid.

Mixture is too stiff to blend

• If you allow the mixture to freeze completely, it may be too stiff to blend.

• Either allow to thaw naturally and blend, or add some liquid (water, milk or cream) depending on recipe and blend.

Ice cream consistency is too hard

• Allow mixture to thaw naturally and next time check the recipe sooner for desired consistency.

• If too little sugar is used, the ice cream consistency will be hard.

Ice cream consistency is too soft

• Replace the Lid and allow mixture to freeze for another 5-10 minutes.

• Freezing will take longer with recipes with alcohol.

• Make sure the Canister and Lid were left in the freezer for a minimum of 12 hours.

CAUTION

When frozen the Ice Cream Maker should only be picked up by the handles.

Do not place the Ice Cream Maker on a cooking surface or source of heat.
