3. componenti

Your Oster 4-Quart Wood Bucket Ice Cream Maker includes the following parts:

• Wood Bucket: The outer container that holds ice and rock salt.
• Motorized Lid/Churner Assembly: The electric motor unit that drives the mixing paddle.
• Aluminum Mixing Canister (Bowl): Contenitore interno in cui vengono mantecati gli ingredienti del gelato.

4. Istruzioni per l'installazione

1. Componenti puliti: Before first use, wash the aluminum mixing canister, mixing paddle, and canister lid in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe the wood bucket and motorized lid with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motorized lid in water.
2. Preparare gli ingredienti: Prepare your desired ice cream mixture according to your recipe. Ensure the mixture is chilled before adding it to the canister for best results.
3. Assemble Canister: Place the mixing paddle inside the aluminum mixing canister. Pour your chilled ice cream mixture into the canister, filling it no more than 2/3 full to allow for expansion during churning. Place the canister lid on top of the canister.
4. Position Canister in Bucket: Place the assembled mixing canister into the center of the wood bucket.
5. Aggiungere ghiaccio e sale: Fill the space between the aluminum mixing canister and the wood bucket with alternating layers of ice and rock salt. Use crushed ice for faster results. A common ratio is 6 parts ice to 1 part rock salt. Fill up to the top of the canister.
6. Attach Motorized Lid: Place the motorized lid assembly onto the wood bucket, ensuring the drive shaft of the motor engages with the mixing paddle. Secure the motor to the bucket using the metal clamps on the sides of the bucket.

5. Istruzioni per l'uso

1. Collegare: Plug the ice cream maker into a standard electrical outlet. The motor will start automatically.
2. Processo di zangolatura: Allow the machine to churn. The churning time typically ranges from 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the recipe and desired consistency. The motor is designed to stop automatically when the ice cream reaches a thick, firm consistency.
3. Controlla la coerenza: Periodically check the ice cream's consistency by unplugging the unit and carefully removing the motorized lid.
4. Serving or Hardening:
   • Soft-Serve: For soft-serve ice cream, it can be served immediately after churning.
   • Harder Ice Cream: For a firmer consistency, remove the mixing paddle and place the separate canister lid on the aluminum mixing canister. You can then place the canister in your freezer for 2-4 hours to harden.

6. Manutenzione e pulizia

• Scollegare prima di pulire: Always unplug the ice cream maker from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
• Clean Canister and Paddle: The aluminum mixing canister, mixing paddle, and canister lid are hand wash only. Wash them in warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely.
• Clean Motorized Lid: Wipe the motorized lid with a damp stoffa. Non immergere l'unità motore in acqua o altro liquido.
• Clean Wood Bucket: Wipe the wood bucket with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not soak the wood bucket in water, as this can cause damage.
• Magazzinaggio: Ensure all parts are clean and dry before storing. Store the ice cream maker in a cool, dry place.

  • The ice cream mixture may be too thick. Ensure the mixture is not overfilled and is at the correct temperature.
  • The ice and salt mixture may need to be replenished or adjusted. Ensure sufficient ice and rock salt are used.
  • The motor is designed to stop when the ice cream reaches optimal consistency. Check the ice cream.
• Ice cream is not freezing:
  • Ensure the ice cream mixture was thoroughly chilled before starting.
  • Verify the correct ratio of ice to rock salt is used (e.g., 6 parts ice to 1 part rock salt).
  • Check that the mixing paddle is properly engaged with the motor and turning.
• Ice cream is too icy:
  • The mixture may not have been churned long enough.
  • Ensure the mixture contains enough fat (e.g., heavy cream) as per the recipe.
