How to make get your ice cream maker ready

1

Wash and freeze your bowl

Before using your ice cream maker attachment, remove the 'Do not immerse in water' label. The freeze bowl, dasher, and drive assembly must be washed by hand, in warm, soapy water. Freeze the bowl for at least 16 hours and use it immediately, as it begins to thaw straightaway. Do not pour ice cream batter into the bowl until all parts are assembled and the mixer is running.

2

Attach the freeze bowl

Make sure your stand mixer is OFF (0) and unplugged. Place the dasher inside the freeze bowl and put the bowl on the bowl-clamping plate of the mixer. If you're using a bowl-lift mixer, place bowl-lift handle in the down position. Fit the freeze bowl in place over the locating pins. Press down on the back of the bowl until the bowl pin clicks into the spring latch.

Attach the drive assembly (tilt-head mixer)

Keep the motor head tilted back and position the drive assembly onto the mixer, aligning the cutout with the mixer shaft. Lower the motor head to engage the drive assembly with the dasher. If the drive assembly doesn’t engage the dasher, just slide it either back or forward until it does engage the dasher properly. Lower the head again and move the locking lever into LOCK position.

Attach the drive assembly (bowl-lift mixer)

Make sure the bowl-lift handle is still in the down position and the freeze bowl and dasher are in place. Place the drive assembly onto the dasher, aligning the cutout with the mixer shaft. Raise the bowl to connect the drive assembly to the mixer.

How to make your first batch of ice cream

Freeze your bowl

You will need to freeze the freeze bowl for at least 16 hours before you plan to use it. Set your freezer to its coldest setting and place it inside. It's important not to take the bowl out of the freezer until your batter is ready as it starts to defrost immediately.

Get your ice cream batter ready

Once your batter's ready, take the freeze bowl out of the freezer, attach it following the instructions and set your mixer to STIR speed. Pour the batter in the bowl* and mix for 20-30 minutes. Check out the recipe inspiration below!

Add solid ingredients

If your recipe has solid ingredients, like fruits, nuts, sweets, or chocolate chips, add them around 12-15 minutes into the mixing process.

Finish and enjoy!

Once the dasher begins to slip and make a clicking noise, it's done. Turn off the mixer and remove the attachment. The ice cream will be a soft consistency. If you want it firmer, store in the freezer for 2-4 hours before eating. Store your ice cream in an airtight container.**

How to clean your ice cream maker

By taking good care of your ice cream maker it will create tasty frozen treats for years to come. Here's how to keep it clean and running smoothly.

Clean the freeze bowl

Allow the freeze bowl to reach room temperature before cleaning. Hand wash in warm water with mild detergent. The bowl is not dishwasher-safe. Thoroughly dry before storing in freezer.

Pop the other parts in the dishwasher

The dasher and the drive assembly are dishwasher-safe, top rack only. Job done!

Disclaimer:
  1. *Only pour batter into bowl after starting the mixer. Pouring batter into the freeze bowl before starting the mixer may cause the batter to freeze prematurely and lock the dasher.

  2. ** Don't store your ice cream in the freeze bowl as scraping hard ice cream can damage the bowl.
