Tips for Best Results

• During the churning process, you can add finely chopped
or pureed ingredients, such as chocolate, raisins, and
nuts, through the opening in the cover after ice cream has
churned for at least 15 minutes or when mixture is thick and
has started to freeze. Alcohol should not be added until near
the end of the process since it significantly slows down the
freezing process.
• The machine will run for 20 to 40 minutes. Do not turn ice
cream maker off during this time. The mixture may freeze
to the walls and prevent the bowl from turning. See
Troubleshooting if your unit did not make ice cream in
60 minutes.
• The finished result is a soft, spoonable ice cream.
Homemade ice cream will not be the same consistency
as hard, store-bought ice cream.
• Ice cream tastes best when fresh. It will begin to lose its
fresh taste after 1 to 2 weeks in the freezer.
• Keep the freezer bowl in the freezer so that you can make
ice cream, chill wine, or serve ice cubes at any time.

• For best results, the freezer bowl must be frozen thoroughly.
Make sure to set your freezer at the coldest setting
(temperature should not be more than 0°F [-18°C]).
• Firmness of ice cream depends on variables such as the
recipe used, room temperature, freezer temperature, and
temperature of ingredients before churning.
• Some recipes require the mixture to be precooked. Make
the recipe at least one day ahead and chill in the refrigerator
overnight. This will allow the mixture to cool completely
and increase volume. Base mixture may not freeze if it is not
thoroughly chilled.
• Do not remove freezer bowl from the freezer until ready
to use.
• Do not puncture or heat the freezer bowl.
• To allow mixture to expand to 1 1/2 quarts (6 cups/1420 ml)
while churning, do not use more than 1 quart (4 cups/
946 ml) of recipe mixture at a time.
