Enjoy soft serve ice cream and frozen yogurt at home with your new Home Soft ServeTM Machine! We've done everything we can to make it as easy and simple as possible. Our instruction book is designed to give you helpful information, tips and a host of great recipes. DETAILS ON YOUR NEW HOME SOFT SERVETM MACHINE: · Quick, easy and convenient to use! · Makes 6 ­ 8 full-size cones in approximately 20 minutes. · Use the enclosed pre-mix or make your own great tasting ice cream and frozen yogurt using the enclosed recipe book and common kitchen ingredients! · Clean-up is quick and easy: all parts that come in contact with the ice cream are removable and dishwasher-safe (on top rack only; however, Mixing Canister should be washed with warm soapy water ­ not in the dishwasher due to high heat of drying cycle). · The valve has been pre-lubricated during manufacture to ensure smooth operation. If the valve becomes tight, smooth operation can be restored by a light application of liquid or spray-on cooking oil. · Most home freezer compartments maintain a temperature between 0°F and 10°F. This range is necessary to insure proper freezing of the Mixing Canister. Thicker ice cream textures can be obtained by reducing your freezer temperature setting. IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions must always be followed, including the following: · READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. · Make sure the cord is not loose nor presents the possibility of someone tripping over it. · DO NOT MOVE THE SOFT SERVE MACHINE WHILE IT IS TURNED "ON". · CLOSE SUPERVISION IS NECESSARY WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS IN USE. · Disconnect the Soft Serve Machine from the wall outlet when the unit is not in use and before cleaning. NOTE: MAKE SURE THE SOFT SERVE MACHINE IS TURNED OFF "O" BEFORE DISCONNECTING. · To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the appliance or plug in water or other liquids. · This appliance should not be used by unsupervised children. Close supervision is always necessary when this or any other appliance is used near children. 2 · Do not operate this or any appliance with a frayed or damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance is dropped or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest Authorized Service Station for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment. · Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. They may cause fire, electrical shock or injury. · Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes. Do not use this appliance for other than the intended use. · Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. · Never freeze mixing canister in dry ice or other medium that can achieve temperatures of -30° F or lower as this can damage the Canister. · Do not place the appliance near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven. · Do not place any items on top of or next to this appliance at any time. · Solid foods, fruits, nuts, candy or other solid items must not be inserted into the Home Soft ServeTM Machine as they may get stuck in the Dispensing Valve or Mixing Auger and block or hamper the flow of soft serve coming out (all ingredients must be liquefied in a blender before being added to the machine). · Do not clean with metal scouring pads or any abrasive materials. (Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts resulting in a risk of electrical shock). · Do not place the Home Soft ServeTM Machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. The Home Soft ServeTM Machine may fall, causing injury to child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the Home Soft ServeTM Machine. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS This Unit for Household Use Only A short, power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. FOR UNITS PURCHASED IN THE U.S. AND CANADA ONLY: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way; if the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. 3 EASY-TO-USE SOFT SERVE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME After unpacking the unit, wash the Mixing Canister, Mixing Auger, Valve and the machine's Face Panel Assembly in warm, soapy water (all but the Mixing Canister are also top-rack dishwasher-safe) and then dry thoroughly (especially the Mixing Canister). Then place the Mixing Canister in your freezer and pre-freeze for at least 24 hours before use; you may also choose to simply store your canister in the freezer so that it is always ready to make ice cream! Then you can have soft serve at home whenever you like! Mixing Canister Mixing Auger Valve Face Panel Assembly FREEZING THE MIXING CANISTER The most important step in making SOFT SERVE is to make sure that the Mixing Canister is properly frozen. The Mixing Canister requires thorough freezing. For best results, the Mixing Canister should be placed in the back of your freezer, where the temperature is coldest. Make sure the Mixing Canister is thoroughly dried and place in back of freezer or where freezer is the coldest. 4 SIMPLE-TO-USE INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING SOFT SERVE AT HOME!!! 5 EASY STEPS: IMPORTANT: Pre-freeze Mixing Canister for 24 Hours before use. 1. Mix one bag of pre-mix with 2-1/2 cups of chilled water (or use one of the enclosed recipes) and mix thoroughly. 2. Remove Soft Serve Mixing Canister from freezer and place upright on a countertop. Slide the white Mixing Auger, solid end down, slowly into the Canister until it rests snugly on the bottom of the Canister (A). Place the machine's face panel onto the top of the Mixing Canister (B), making sure (B) the silver rod goes into the center of the Mixing Auger. Apply downward pressure as you twist it clockwise to lock it into place (C). 3. Slide the entire assembly into the machine until it clicks into place (D). 4. Turn blue dispensing knob on top of the machine to "FILL" and then lift the knob to reveal the "fill" opening. IMPORTANT: Turn machine "ON" before pouring in mixture (you may hear a slight churning sound during operation; this is normal and simply represents the motor and gear driving the mixing auger inside the unit). 5. Pour ingredients into the opening (E), close the cap and turn the knob to the "MIX" position. In 20 ­ 25 minutes, turn blue dispensing knob to "Serve" and you'll have Soft Serve! Do not turn the machine's power switch to "OFF" until you have finished dispensing all contents of the Soft Serve Machine. · When finished dispensing all of the contents of the Soft Serve machine, turn machine "OFF" and unplug it (while running, the machine will keep the Soft Serve frozen and ready to dispense for approximately 30 minutes after the ice cream initially freezes; you can then store any excess Soft Serve in a freezer-safe storage container for later consumption). Press the blue "Chamber Release" button on top of machine to remove Mixing Canister assembly. Then twist Face Panel counter-clockwise to disassemble Mixing Assembly; turn blue dispensing knob to "Remove" position and pull up to remove Valve Assembly for cleaning. (If the Valve ever becomes difficult to turn or remove, smooth operation can be restored by applying a light application of liquid or spray-on cooking oil). All pieces can then be washed with warm, soapy water (all but Mixing Canister are top-rack dishwasher-safe). Always make sure Canister is dried thoroughly before placing in freezer. (E) (A) (C) (D) CAUTION: NEVER IMMERSE THE MAIN BODY OF THE UNIT IN WATER SINCE THIS IS WHERE THE MOTOR AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ARE LOCATED; WATER CAN DAMAGE THEM. 5 Note: For Counter-Top Model Only (Model 4742): If you have a counter-top model, make sure the unit's dispensing valve is positioned just off the edge of your counter or table top and that the drip tray is attached as seen in the illustration at right. When finished, the drip tray can be raised to its horizontal position and slid under the unit for storage (as seen at right and below). CAUTION: NEVER IMMERSE THE MAIN BODY OF THE UNIT IN WATER SINCE THIS IS WHERE THE MOTOR AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ARE LOCATED; WATER CAN DAMAGE THEM. 6 HELPFUL HINTS · Temperatures from freezer to freezer differ. If your freezer is set at a middle to warm setting, the Canister will not freeze. The Canister freezes at 7°F. If your ice cream is too soft or has not hardened, check your freezer temperature and adjust settings to maintain freezer temperatures below 5°F (coldest setting). · The Mixing Canister must be pre-frozen in the freezer for at least 24 hours prior to use. If the Canister is used with less than the 24-hour freeze time, the ice cream may not freeze. · The valve has been pre-lubricated during manufacture to ensure smooth operation. If the valve is washed in a dishwasher, it may become tight. Smooth operation can be restored by a light application of liquid or spray-on cooking oil. · There is a circular ridge on the back side of the Face Panel Assembly. The large, black gasket should be placed on that circular ridge. If the gasket is not on the circular ridge, it will make the assembly of the Mixing Canister to the Face Panel Assembly difficult and may result in ice cream leaking out. · Make sure the gasket is dry before assembling the Face Panel Assembly to the Mixing Canister. If the gasket is wet it will freeze very quickly and will make the assembly of the unit difficult. Additionally, if assembly of the Face Panel onto the Canister ever becomes difficult, smooth operation can be restored by a light application of liquid or spray-on cooking oil on the black gasket. · The Valve must be inserted until it rests firmly at the bottom of the Face Panel Assembly to ensure proper sealing. · Ice cream in the Mixing Canister thickens with time. If the Soft ServeTM Machine is left on unattended for more than 30 ­ 35 minutes, the ice cream could thicken too much and potentially stall the machine. If the machine stalls, it will not dispense ice cream. · Make sure the Mixing Canister is completely dry after washing it. If the Canister is wet when it is put in the freezer, the Canister gears may freeze and prevent the Auger from turning inside the unit. · VERY IMPORTANT: The ice cream maker must be turned "ON" prior to pouring in the ice cream mix. If the ice cream mix is poured into the Canister before the unit is turned on, it will freeze rapidly, causing the Auger not to turn. · If the canister does not latch when inserted into unit, take the Canister out of the unit and turn the gear behind the Canister slightly and insert back into ice cream maker. This should allow proper engagement. · The metal rod as a slight bend on it. Make sure that the bend is oriented toward the middle of the Auger. If the bend is facing the outside of the Auger, the rod will hit the Auger as the Auger turns making a rattling/clicking sound. · Make sure the metal rod is on the Face Panel Assembly before assembling the unit together to make ice cream. If the rod is left out, the unit will not mix and the ice cream will settle to the bottom of the Canister. 7 EASY-TO-MAKE RECIPES FOR SOFT SERVE AT HOME!!! SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM RECIPES Vanilla 12 oz.
