|
|
INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE
- WARNING: Do not store or install the appliance outdoors.
- CAUTION: This appliance is designed for making ice cream desserts.
- Place your appliance on a hard and level surface that is strong enough to support it when ingredients are added.
- Allowance of at least 5 inches (127mm) of space around the appliance is suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.
- Do not install the appliance near an oven or other heating source.
- Plug in the appliance into an exclusive, grounded wall power outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a qualified electrician or an authorized service center.
FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
A freestanding installation will allow you to install the ice cream maker in any place you desire provided that the required clearance space around the appliance is respected. In every setting, there must be an adequate ventilation and access for service. Never install or operate the unit in an enclosed area. Allowance of at least 5 inches (127mm) of space around the appliance is suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
WARNING: Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or contact Whynter Service Department.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury. The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.
EXTENSION CORD
Because of potential safety hazards, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CULListed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.
INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE
- Place the ice cream maker upright on a flat, level and solid surface.
- For stability, press the unit gently down onto the surface until the suction legs are securely attached
CONTROLS
- Power Button
After the appliance is installed and connected to the power supply, press the Power button to turn the machine on.
The Power button will illuminate a blue light indicating that the unit is in operation. When the unit is on and the Power button is pressed, the unit will turn off.
NOTE: The unit may enter a three minute compressor lockout when operation of the unit has been resumed. This three minute time delay helps extend the life of the compressor. Once delay elapses, the compressor will engage and the unit will start cooling again. - Operation Light
The operation light indicates when unit is ready for use.
Red Light – This indicates that the unit is starting up and in the process of reaching the optimal operation temperature point.
Green Light – This indicates that the unit has reached the optimal temperature (14ºF) necessary for ice cream making. This means that the ice cream mix can be poured on the freezing top plate.
NOTE: It takes approximately 8-10 minutes for the operation light to change from Red to Green.
BASIC ICE CREAM MIX
INGREDIENTS
- 1¾ cups heavy cream
- 1¼ cup whole milk
- ¾ cup sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Pour 1 cup of the mixture into a saucepan and add the sugar, salt. Scrape the seeds of the vanilla bean into the pot and then add the vanilla pod to the pot. Warm the mixture over medium heat, just until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and add the remaining cream, milk, and vanilla extract (if using extract). Stir to combine. Set aside ice cream mix to cool down.

- Press the power button to turn on the ice cream machine. Initially, the indicator light will illuminate in red color.
- The unit will then start the precooling process for about 8-10 minutes. When the indicator light changes from red to green, pour the ice cream (about 100g) on the freezing top plate(Fig 1). During the ice cream process, the compressor continues to work and the green indicator light will stay illuminated.
Fig 1 - Add fruits, brownies, chocolate, or any other toppings if desired. Using the stainless steel shovels, break down these ingredients to little pieces (Fig 2).
