Zoku ICE CREAM MAKER - Manual (Page 3)

CLEANING AND STORAGE
• DO NOT WASH THE ICE CREAM MAKER IN THE DISHWASHER.
• Always store the unit level and upright. Clean the Ice Cream Maker and accessories with
mild soap and warm water. Do not use scouring powders, pads, or hard implements. Dry
the Ice Cream Maker completely before placing in the freezer. Storing the Zoku Ice Cream
Maker in the freezer is the best way to keep it ready for use.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If it takes a long time to make ice cream or it doesn’t form at all:
• The Ice Cream Maker was not completely frozen. Be sure to freeze the unit for 12+ hours.
• The freezer temperature is not cold enough. In order to properly freeze the Ice Cream
Maker, your freezer needs to be set to 0°F (-18˚C) or below, which is also the ideal
temperature for food storage.
• Try placing the unit in a different part of the freezer; different parts of the freezer have
different temperatures.
• The ingredients are too warm (try using chilled ingredients).
• Try mixing the ice cream and scraping the bowl more frequently; sometimes ice will
thicken rapidly and stick to the bowl preventing your ice cream from forming.
• Make sure that you are not using artificial sweeteners. They do not work well in the Ice
Cream Maker. Ice Cream mixture without any natural sugar may fail to form ice cream.
It’s hard to scrape the ice cream:
• Begin scraping bowl with spoon immediately after pouring in the ice cream mixture.
Continue to stir frequently as it freezes.
The outer sleeve is stuck on the inner bowl:
• Try rinsing the unit under warm water for a few minutes and then twist and pull the
sleeve off of the inner bowl.
The Ice Cream Maker is broken, and the liquid inside is everywhere:
• The refrigerant liquid is non-toxic, but do not try to use Ice Cream Maker any longer.
It should be discarded.
