How to Use an Ice Cream Maker

WOOD BUCKET: 8455-X (4 quart), 8550-X (5 quart) PLASTIC BUCKET: 8401 (4 quart), 8420 (4 quart), 8405 (4 quart tall), 8605 (6 quart), 8620 (6 quart) • Motor Drive Top mounted. Engages stem of DASHER. • Cork Used to plug hole in COVER when hardening and ripening ice cream. • Cover Tab in COVER fits notch in ice cream can. • Dasher Stem on top fits through hole in center of COVER, and engages MOTOR DRIVE. • Ice Cream Can Container holds ice cream mixture. • Drain Hole Allows salt water to flow freely out of BUCKET. • Bucket Latch and tab plates secure MOTOR DRIVE. Drain hole located near top of BUCKET. Holds rock salt and ice

Before using for the first time, wash all parts except MOTOR DRIVE (see “HOW TO CLEAN YOUR ICE CREAM MAKER”). 1. Pour chilled ice cream mixture into cooled ICE CREAM CAN. Fill ICE CREAM CAN only 3/4 full, as mixture will expand during freezing. 2. Insert DASHER. Be sure that bottom of DASHER fits indentation at bottom of ICE CREAM CAN. 3. Place COVER on ICE CREAM CAN. 4. Place filled ICE CREAM CAN in BUCKET. Make sure ICE CREAM CAN is centered and engages with bottom of BUCKET. 5. Place MOTOR DRIVE over ICE CREAM CAN so that stem of DASHER engages hole in bottom of MOTOR DRIVE. Rotate ICE CREAM CAN slightly until MOTOR DRIVE engages ICE CREAM CAN COVER. Fit the two tabs at the end of MOTOR DRIVE into tab plate. Lower the rounded tab (at other end of MOTOR DRIVE) onto latch plate. Rotate latch lock over rounded tab. Plug power cord into 120 volt AC outlet. 6. While ice cream maker is running, distribute 2 inches of ice around bottom of BUCKET. Sprinkle approximately 1/4 cup salt uniformly over layer of ice. Exception: For Models 8455-X and 8550-X, layer 1 inch of ice with 1/2 cup salt. (See “Hints”) NOTE: The DASHER does not move, the ICE CREAM CAN turns around it. 7. Continue adding layers of ice, with salt between layers, until ice level reaches top of rotating ICE CREAM CAN. NOTE: Should ice cream maker stop before churning is complete (approximately 20-40 minutes), check to see if large ice cubes are jammed against the rotating ice cream can. (See “Important Points”) 8. Ice cream should churn about 20-40 minutes or until motor stops. Unplug and remove MOTOR DRIVE. 9. Clear ice and salt away from top of ice cream can. Wipe carefully to remove salt and water before removing the COVER. Lift out DASHER and scrape clean with a rubber spatula. Pack ice cream down into ICE CREAM CAN.

Here's How:

1. After preparing and refrigerating your ice cream recipe, pour chilled ice cream into cooled ice cream can.
2. Fill ice cream can 3/4 full; mixture will expand.
3. Insert the dasher making sure it is positioned correctly into the can indentation.
4. Place cover on ice cream can.
5. Place filled can in bucket.
6. Place the motor driver over the ice cream can cover.
7. Plug in the maker.
8. While it's running, add 2 inches of ice on the bottom of the bucket.
9. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup salt over ice.
10. Continue layering ice and salt until the ice level reaches the top of the rotating ice cream can.
11. In about 20 to 40 minutes, the ice cream maker should stop churning.
12. Carefully clean lid, remove, and pack down ice cream in the can.
