The Ivation Automatic Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker (SKU: IVAICECREM36) is a countertop appliance designed for domestic use, allowing users to create soft-serve ice cream, sorbet, and other frozen desserts. This user-friendly device combines mixing and cooling functions to produce a variety of treats.
Function Description:
The primary function of this appliance is to automatically mix and cool ingredients to produce soft-serve ice cream. It features three distinct operating modes:
- Ice Cream Mode: This mode mixes and cools contents simultaneously, with a default timer of 60 minutes. This is the primary mode for making ice cream.
- Cooling Only Mode: This mode keeps the mixture cold without mixing, with a default timer of 30 minutes. It's useful for chilling ingredients or maintaining the temperature of a finished product.
- Mixing Only Mode: This mode mixes the contents without cooling, with a default timer of 10 minutes. This can be used for preparing mixtures or for recipes that do not require chilling.
The ice cream maker also includes several automatic functions to enhance user experience and product longevity:
- Keep Cool Function: After an operation is finished, the appliance will automatically keep the ice cream cold for an additional 20 minutes, ensuring the dessert remains at an optimal serving temperature.
- Motor Self-Protection Function: To preserve the life of the mixing blade motor, the mixing function will automatically stop if the ice cream becomes too hardened.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Dimensions: 9.8″ (width) x 10.8″ (depth) x 13.8″ (height) or 250 x 275 x 350 mm.
- Capacity: 5 cups (1.2 L), suitable for preparing a moderate batch of ice cream.
- Power Output: 135 W, indicating efficient operation for both mixing and cooling.
- Voltage/Frequency: 220 - 240 V / 50 Hz, designed for specific electrical standards.
Usage Features:
The Ivation Automatic Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker is designed for straightforward operation:
- Preparation: Before use, all parts that come into contact with ingredients (mixing blade, removable bowl, transparent cover, and refill lid) should be washed. The appliance should be placed on a flat, level surface and plugged into a power outlet.
- Ingredient Addition: Users prepare their ingredients according to a recipe (either their own or from the provided booklet) and pour them into the removable bowl.
- Assembly: The removable bowl is placed into the ice cream maker, ensuring its tabs fit securely into the appliance's slots. The mixing blade is then placed into the bowl, followed by the transparent cover, which is turned counterclockwise to lock it in place.
- Control Panel: The appliance features a clear control panel with dedicated buttons for "Power," "Start/Pause," "Time Up," "Time Down," "Cooling only," "Mixing only," and "Ice cream."
- Upon plugging in, the appliance beeps, and pressing the POWER button defaults to ICE CREAM mode for 60 minutes (the maximum time for this mode).
- The TIME UP and TIME DOWN buttons allow users to adjust the timer for each mode.
- Buttons light up to indicate the active mode. To switch modes, the POWER button is pressed, then the desired mode (COOLING ONLY for 30 minutes or MIXING ONLY for 10 minutes) is selected.
- The START/PAUSE button initiates or pauses the operation. When paused, the mixing function stops, but the cooling function continues. Pressing the POWER button stops both mixing and cooling completely.
- Adding Ingredients During Operation: A refill lid on the transparent cover allows for the addition of extra ingredients, such as chocolate chips or nuts, typically five minutes before the ICE CREAM mode is complete.
- Post-Operation: Once the operation is complete, the appliance should be turned off, and the removable bowl can be pulled out to serve the ice cream.
