BEFORE MAKING ICE CREAM

Clean

Before use, thoroughly wash all parts that will come into contact with the ice cream (including the fixed bowl, removable bowl, mixing blade, transparent lid, refill lid, measuring cup and spoon).

Prepare recipe ingredients:

Prepare recipe ingredients from your own recipe or from the recipe booklet, and pour the prepared recipe ingredients into the removable bowl. Note: You do not need to freeze the bowl for hours in a freezer in advance, as this machine has a BUILT-IN COMPRESSOR that freezes the recipe ingredients in operation thus ensures the output of ice cream.

Assembly

Warning: Please be sure the power cord is unplugged.

Important: Always place the Ice Cream Maker upright on a flat surface so that the built-in COMPRESSOR can provide the best performance.

1) Put the removable bowl into the fixed bowl in the machine.

2) Place the mixing blade into the removable bowl and fit the mixing blade bottom hole onto the motor axis

(see below picture).

3

3) Install the transparent lid on top of the bowls and lock it securely.

[START/STOP] Button: After the time is set, press the [START/STOP] button to start. It begins mixing immediately and the GREEN indicator lights up. 2 minutes later it begins cooling and the RED indicator lights up. During the ice cream making process, you can press [START/STOP] button to turn the mixing blade on or off (the compressor will still be working). When the count-down ends, the operation automatically stops and an acoustic sound will be heard 10 times. The LCD displays "00:00".

If the ice cream is not removed or the appliance is not turned off after 10 minutes, it automatically enters into an “Extended Cooling Function” to keep the ice cream frozen.

Extended Cooling Function:

The machine runs the COOLING function (without mixing) for 10 minutes every other 10 minutes for a total of 1 hour, and then returns to the initial default status (powered but no operation).

[Caution]: Always remember to unplug the machine from the power supply when you serve the finished ice cream to avoid an electric shock.

The time can only be increased but not reduced in this way.

Adding Time (After Operating Time Finished)

When the preset time ( for example 60 minutes) finishes and the machine stops and returns to the initial default status, if you like a harder consistency, you can once again select an operating time

(10/20/30/40/50/60 minutes) by pressing the [TIMER] button. Then again press the [START/STOP] button and the machine will continue to count down the time you selected and then stop again before entering into the “Extended Cooling Function” to keep the ice cream frozen.
