2. Prepare ingredients (see reverse side of this instruction booklet for recipes and tips). Note: If using your own recipe, be sure bases do not go over the top dasher on the mixing paddle. See below for the image.

3. Place the mixing bowl into the base. Be sure the bowl is properly aligned in the base.

4. Place the ice cream or gelato/sorbet paddle in the mixing bowl so that it rests in the center of the bowl.

5. Pour ingredients into the mixing bowl. Position the lid by lining up the arrow on the lid with the unlock icon on the base. Lock it into place by turning it counterclockwise. Be sure the arrow on the lid is lined up with the lock icon on the base. The mix-in opening is centered in the front when in the lock position.

• Ingredients such as chips and nuts can be added towards the end of mixing time. Once the dessert has begun to thicken (usually about 5 minutes from end time), add the ingredients through the mix-in opening. Note: To turn the unit off at any time, press the Power button.

If you added too much time, continue to press the timer and it will bring you back to ten minutes. Note: When making consecutive batches of ice cream or gelato, be sure to allow extra time for the compressor to adjust to cooling.
