Your ice cream maker can make up to 1
1/2 quarts of ice cream. Due to an
increase in volume when freezing the
ingredients, you should not exceed 1
quart of liquid ingredients. If you are using
your own recipes, adapt the volume of the
mixture not to exceed this amount.

Wash each part of the unit which
touches the ingredients, such as the
Stirring Paddle, Lid, and the Ice Cream
bucket. Parts should be washed with
warm water and a mild dish washing
detergent and wiped completely dry. Do
NOT use abrasive cleaners to clean as
these may damage your appliance.
Power head may be wiped clean with a
damp cloth. Do NOT clean appliance in
dishwasher.
Cleaning Your Ice Cream Maker
The freezer canister may be washed in
warm water with a mild dishwashing
detergent then dried thoroughly.

Freezing the Freezer Canister
Fig. 1
To separate the freezer canister from
the upper and lower rings for washing,
press on the release button and lift the
upper ring first. Then remove the lower
ring by sliding it off the freezer canister.
To replace the upper and lower rings
after the freezer canister is completely
dry, slide on the lower ring first aligning
the hole for the release button with the
arrow on the freezer canister. Then
insert the upper ring making sure that
the two rings snap together.
The most important step in making
frozen desserts, is making sure that the
freezer canister is completely frozen.
The Gel Canister Ice Cream Maker
features a double walled insulated
freezer canister for perfect frozen
desserts every time. To freeze your
canister, wrap it in a large resealable
freezer bag and place it upright in the
coldest part of your freezer. Using a
resealable freezer bag prevents ice
crystals from forming on the freezer
canister. The length of time to properly
freeze the freezer canister depends on
how cold your freezer temperature is.
To make sure that your freezer canister
is properly frozen, you should not hear
any gel moving within the freezer
canister when you shake it.
3. Insert the paddle extender into the
paddle (Fig.2) and then insert the
paddle into the drive unit. (Fig. 3)

Helpful Hints
Recipes
•
Some ice cream recipes require
the mixture to be pre-cooked. You
can make the recipe at least one
day in advance. This will allow the
mixture to cool down completely
and also add volume. We
recommend that you pre-chill the
ice cream mixture for better
results.
•
If you are making a fruit sorbet,
No Cook Coffee/Amaretto Ice Cream
please note that the flavor of the
sorbet will greatly depend on the
ripeness of the fruit and/or type of
juice that you use. If you find that
the fruit is too tart, add sugar; if it
is too ripe, decrease the amount of
sugar. Also keep in mind that
freezing lessens the sweetness of
the recipe.
You can use artificial sweeteners
instead of sugar if you wish.
Please note though that heat
affects the sweetness of the
artificial sweetener. We
recommend that you use artificial
sweeteners to mixtures that are
cold or that have been completely
cooled. When a recipe calls for
you to heat the liquid ingredients
so that the sugar may dissolve,
omit the heating process and
simply stir in the artificial

Uncooked recipes will give you the
best results when an electric mixer
is used to cream the eggs and
sugar. This helps increase the
volume in the ice cream mixture.
Most ice cream recipes are a
combination of cream, milk, eggs
and sugar. You may use any type
of cream that you prefer, but the
type of cream that you do use will
affect the flavor and texture of the
ice cream that you are making.
The higher the percentage of fat in
the cream, the richer the ice cream
and the softer the texture.
i.e. heavy cream has 35% fat,
whipping cream has 30% fat,
coffee or light cream has 18% fat
and half & half has 10% fat. Any
combination may be used but the
total liquid measurement must
remain the same.
The ice cream mixture will stay
fresh in the refrigerator for several
days. Just make sure that it is well
covered. Before adding to the
freezer canister, stir it to make
sure that the ingredients are well
mixed together.
When pouring into the freezer
canister, stop at least 1" below the
top of the canister as the mixture
will increase in volume during the
freezing process.

Always start with liquid ice cream
mixtures when preparation starts.
Do not use stiff mixtures such as
whipped cream or frozen liquids.
Do not operate the unit longer than
required. If after 40 minutes the
mixture is not yet solid or has
thawed again, do not continue.
Possible reasons for mixture not
freezing: the freezer canister was
not cold enough; the mixture was
too warm; the proportion of the
ingredients was not correct.
Do not store prepared ice cream in
the freezer canister for more than
a few days.
