ADVICE AND TIPS

BOWLS
• We recommend you use the removable bowl, as it is easier to clean�
• The fixed bowl allows you to start on a second batch straightaway�
HEAT REMOVAL BY CONDUCTION BETWEEN THE TWO BOWLS
• Pour a measure of food-grade alcohol (60 proof or higher for example brandy) or brine in the fixed
bowl�
• To make the brine, mix 35ml water with 8g salt or 2 teaspoons�
• The measuring glass enables you to put in exactly the right amount� It holds 35ml about 5 tablespoons�
• To check that you have added the right amount of brine or food-grade alcohol, lower your removable
bowl into position, then lift it out again� The whole of the outer surface should be wet�
• To avoid oxidation spots, make sure you remove all the liquid with a sponge or a wad of kitchen paper
after use�
CAPACITY
• Your ice cream will double in volume during the churning process, so the bowl should never be more
than half full to begin with (i�e� 1 litre of mixture)�
• To achieve the very best result, we recommend processing between 0�6 and 0�9 litres of mixture�
• As sorbets do not increase so much in volume, the bowl can be two-thirds full at the start (i�e� 1�3 litres),
though we recommend you keep to between 0�8 and 1 litre of mixture�
PREPARATION
• You must pre-chill your ingredients to a temperature of around 10°C�
• If you need to cook your ice cream base (e�g� custard base for vanilla ice cream), we recommend that
you make it the day before, or chill it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours� This will also allow the
flavours to develop�
• If you do not have time to chill your preparation, select the manual mode� Your ice cream will take
longer to churn�
• Churning times vary according to the recipe, the quantity and temperature of the ingredients, and the
room temperature� The colder the ingredients, the sooner the ice cream will be ready� If you follow our
recommendations, churning should take between 20 and 45 minutes�
• It takes longer to churn ice cream and sorbets that contain alcohol (e�g� rum-and-raisin ice cream), as
alcohol delays freezing�
ADDING ExTRA INGREDIENTS
• If you wish to add extra ingredients (chocolate chips, crushed dried fruit, etc�) it is best to do so 5
minutes before the end of churning�
Resume the remaining churning cycle to ensure that the ingredients are mixed in properly�
