ICE CREAM MAKING INSTRUCTION
Ice cream is usually made by mixing ice cream ingredients with water. Please mix strictly
according to the ratio on the ice cream bag (normally, 1 kg of ice cream ingredients should be
mixed with 2.5-3 kg of pure water).
Leave the mixed ice cream pulp for 15 minutes and then pour it evenly into the barrel on the top of
the machine. It is required that the pulp should not be lumped so that the pulp can flow smoothly
into the freezing cylinder through the feeding hole of the puffing tube.
Pull down the handle and let 2-3 cups of ice cream pulp flow out of the hole naturally. Then pour it
into the top feeding cylinder to prevent the water in the outlet from freezing, as it will affect the ice
cream making.
Install the feeding elbow and make sure the sealing sleeve is installed in place.
Turn on the power switch and put the machine into standby mode. Press the "CLEAN" button and
let the machine run for 3-5 minutes, then press the "STOP" button to stop.
Turn on the "AUTO" and "PUFF" button, the machine enters the fully automatic cooling and
molding state, press the "+, -" button to adjust the softness of the ice cream as needed (8-12 is
recommended).
When the molding rate reaches 70, take an egg cone or cup and place it at the outlet under the
liquid valve. Pull down the material handle and squeeze the ice cream. After releasing, please
push the handle back.
