Need instructions for discovery ice cream maker?

Before You Begin:

1. Freeze the Inner Container: Place the inner container (the cylindrical part with a paddle inside) in the freezer for at least 24 hours. This is essential for the ice cream to freeze properly.

2. Prepare Ingredients: Gather and measure out all the ingredients needed for your ice cream recipe.

Using the Discovery Ice Cream Maker:

1. Assemble the Machine: Place the frozen inner container into the outer container (the larger container with a motor base). Make sure the paddle is properly attached to the motor.

2. Connect to Power: Plug the ice cream maker into an outlet.

3. Pour in Ingredients: Pour the prepared ice cream mixture into the inner container through the opening in the lid. Do not overfill the container.

4. Turn On the Machine: Turn the knob or press the power button to start the ice cream maker. Set the timer according to the desired consistency of your ice cream.

5. Wait and Stir: The machine will automatically start churning and freezing the mixture. Every 15-20 minutes, check on the consistency and use the provided spatula to gently stir the ice cream to ensure even freezing.

6. Check Consistency: Continue checking the ice cream until it reaches your desired consistency. Depending on your recipe, this can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.

7. Transfer and Freeze: Once the ice cream is ready, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and place in the freezer for a few hours to firm it up completely.

Additional Tips:

- Use chilled ingredients for best results.

- If your machine has a built-in timer, set it according to the instructions in the user manual.

- For chunky ice cream, add mix-ins (like chocolate chips or chopped nuts) during the last few minutes of churning.

- Don't overfill the inner container. Leaving some space allows for expansion during freezing.

Cleaning the Discovery Ice Cream Maker:

1. Unplug the machine before cleaning.

2. Remove the inner container from the outer container.

3. Wash the inner container, paddle, and lid with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and let it dry completely.

4. Wipe the outer container with a damp cloth.

5. Store the inner container in the freezer for future use.
