HOW TO OPERATE

1. First, find a stable surface near an electrical outlet before starting. Make sure the cord
is away from any water source. It is acceptable to use an extension cord if needed.
2. Chill the Canister until cold to the touch.
3. Choose your favorite recipe and prepare ice cream mixture per the
recipe instructions. Refrigerate ice cream mixture until chilled.
4. Insert the Canister into the bottom of the Bucket. Be sure the Canister is centered
and placed over the star-shaped gear in the bottom of the Bucket.
5. Next, place the Dasher into the Canister. Make sure the round tip at the end
of the Dasher sits in the concave divot at the bottom of the Canister.
6. Center the Locking Lid over the Canister and Bucket, making sure the
notches on each end of the Locking Lid are placed into the openings on the
rim of the Bucket. Twist the Locking Lid counterclockwise to secure.
7. Pour chilled ice cream mixture into the chilled Canister. Make sure you do not fill the
Canister more than ²/
8. Before adding ice, be sure that the ice you put into the bucket is broken into small,
rough pieces. You may use a mallet or hammer to break into smaller pieces if
needed. For each batch of ice cream, expect to use at least 1 (7 lb.) bag of ice.
9. Fill the Bucket with a small layer of
ice (about 6 cups) evenly distributed
around the base of the Canister.
10. Cover the first layer of ice evenly with a thin layer of
rock salt (about ½ cup). Regular table salt or kosher
salt can also be used. It may take a total of 2 to 4
cups of salt to freeze the ice cream mixture properly
(1 lb. salt = 2 cups / 2 lbs. salt = 4 cups).
NOTE: Salt is an important and necessary
part of the freezing process. Generally,
the more salt used, the better.
11. Repeat steps 9 and 10, layering
the ice and salt until ½ the Bucket is filled with the ice/salt mixture. Always
be careful to not add any ice or salt into the ice cream mixture.
12. Now, place the Top Lid onto the Bucket, plug the power cord into the wall outlet,
and press the Power Button to turn the unit on and start the churning process.
13. While the ice cream mixture is churning, fill the Bucket with additional layers of ice and salt
through the Ice/Salt Chute. Continue adding layers of ice and salt until it reaches the bottom
of the drainage hole, located on the side of the Bucket. Adding more ice may cause the
mixture to leak out of the drainage hole.
NOTE: To more easily add ice or salt, it is okay to remove
the Top Lid during the churning process.
14. As the Canister turns, stir and mix the salt and ice together every 10-15
minutes, or as needed. When the ice melts down 2 to 3 inches, you may want to add more
ice and salt to the Bucket through the Ice/Salt Chute.
