pouring them through the opening in
the lid.
8. Soft ice cream will be finished in as little
as 20 minutes. The time will depend on
the recipe and volume of the dessert
you are making. If ingredients are
refrigerated, ice cream making time will

determine when to dispense. If you wait
too long, ice cream may get too thick to
dispense. If this happens, remove the
bowl, scoop out and enjoy the ice cream.

push the handle back up to stop the
flow of ice cream.
NOTES: Some liquid may initially come
out of the dispensing bracket when the
handle is first pulled down. Use a cup to
collect this liquid, then proceed with
filling the first bowl or cone.
Do not store frozen desserts in the
freezer bowl. Desserts will stick to
the side of the freezer bowl and may
damage the bowl. Store only in an
airtight container.
The ice cream will lose its soft
consistency and harden after it is
stored in the freezer.
