Instrucións de funcionamento

Your ice cream maker offers both electric and manual churning options.

Electric Churning

1. After completing the setup steps for electric operation, ensure the motor unit is securely fastened.
2. Enchufe o cable de alimentación nunha toma eléctrica estándar.
3. Turn on the motor. The dasher will begin to rotate, churning the ice cream mixture.
4. Allow the machine to churn until the ice cream reaches the desired consistency. This typically takes 20-40 minutes, depending on the recipe and ingredients. The motor may stop automatically when the ice cream becomes too thick to churn.
5. Once churning is complete, unplug the unit.
6. Remove the motor unit and canister lid. Carefully lift out the dasher, scraping off any ice cream.
7. For firmer ice cream, cover the canister and place it in a freezer for 1-2 hours (this is known as "ripening").

Manual Churning

1. After completing the setup steps for manual operation, ensure the hand crank assembly is securely attached.
2. Turn the hand crank continuously and steadily.
3. Continue cranking until the ice cream reaches the desired consistency. This process requires consistent effort and may take longer than electric churning.
4. Once churning is complete, remove the hand crank assembly and canister lid. Carefully lift out the dasher, scraping off any ice cream.
5. For firmer ice cream, cover the canister and place it in a freezer for 1-2 hours.
