Freezing
•
Add up to one cup of cold water to the ice-salt mixture to speed up the freezing process.
•
DO NOT operate the unit longer than required. If after 30 minutes the
mixture has not yet achieved the slush consistency or has thawed again, do
not continue. Possible reasons for mixture not chilling or freezing:
• The Canister was not cold enough. Try adding more ice and salt. Salt
is a critical part of the freezing process and you will need plenty of
salt added to the ice for the ice cream to freeze properly.
• The mixture was too warm. Make sure that the ingredients that you add are chilled and
not warm, lukewarm or of room temperature before adding to the Canister.
Leaking
• To prevent leaking, fill the Wood Bucket ¾ full with water and let sit for 20
minutes. This will allow the wood to swell up so that the salt brine solution does
not leak out during the churning process. Discard water after 20 minutes.
