The ice cream should have a smooth
consistency. If you would like the ice cream
to have a firmer consistency, put it in the
freezer for ½ to 1 hour until it is thoroughly
frozen.
Store the ice cream in a well-sealed plastic
container so that the smells from the
freezer do not affect its flavour.
6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning the ice cream maker, make
sure that the appliance is unplugged and
dismantle it.
Clean the base (8), the bowl (7), the lid
(4), the shaft (5) and the mixing blade (6)
in warm soapy water, rinse and dry all the
pieces thoroughly before reassembling
them. These pieces are not suitable for
dishwashers.
Clean the motor (2) of the ice cream maker
with a damp cloth. Do not use detergents
or abrasive products to clean it.
Do not immerse the motor in water or in
any other liquid.
7. TIPS FOR FIRM ICE CREAM
• Make sure that the sugar has dissolved
into the mixture and that all the
ingredients have been mixed together
properly.
• Use fresh fruit. Wash it, remove the peel,
pips, cores, etc, and chop it into very
small pieces.
• Use 100% natural fruit juice to ensure
maximum flavour.
• It is advisable for the ingredients which
are going to be mixed to be at less than
10ºC.
