The LIVOO DOM461 is an ice cream maker designed for domestic use, allowing users to create homemade ice cream and sorbet, as well as popsicles. It is a compact appliance, featuring a motor unit, a transparent cover, a paddle, a cooling tank, and additional accessories for making popsicles, including a mold and sticks.
Function Description:
The primary function of the LIVOO DOM461 is to churn and freeze liquid preparations into ice cream or sorbet. This is achieved by a motor-driven paddle that continuously stirs the mixture within a pre-frozen cooling tank. The cooling tank contains a freezing solution that, when adequately chilled in a freezer, facilitates the freezing process of the ingredients. The appliance is designed for ease of use, with a simple on/off switch to initiate the churning process. It also includes a popsicle mold and sticks, enabling users to create frozen treats in a different format. The appliance is intended for household and similar applications, such as staff kitchen areas, farmhouses, hotels, motels, and bed and breakfast environments.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Model Reference: DOM461
- Version: 1.4
- Power Supply: 220-240V~ 50Hz
- Power Consumption: 12W
- Capacity: 1 L (The appliance can contain up to 700 ml of liquid preparation for ice cream, as the volume increases during processing.)
- Maximum Using Time: 30 minutes per cycle
- Freezer Bowl Preparation: Requires 8-12 hours of freezing at -18°C (0.40°F) or below before use.
- Safety Features: Includes a safety cut-out mechanism to prevent motor overheating. If the motor overheats, it will stop, requiring the user to switch off, unplug, and allow the unit to cool. The motor's direction of rotation may also change if the mixture becomes too thick, indicating the ice cream is ready or the motor is struggling.
Usage Features:
- Preparation: Before first use, all packaging should be removed, and the appliance checked for damage or missing parts. All pieces, especially those coming into contact with food, must be thoroughly cleaned. The freezer bowl requires pre-freezing for 8-12 hours at -18°C or below. For best results, ingredients should be refrigerated before use.
- Ice Cream Making Process:
- Ensure the freezer bowl is adequately frozen.
- Prepare the ice cream or sorbet mix and chill it in the refrigerator.
- Place the frozen cooling tank on a flat surface.
- Assemble the motor unit, transparent cover, and paddle. The paddle fits onto the motor unit without screwing.
- Fit the assembled power unit (lid and paddle) onto the cooling tank until it clicks into place.
- Turn on the ice cream maker using the on/off switch; the paddle will start to turn.
- Gently pour the chilled ice cream preparation through the opening in the lid while the paddle is running to prevent immediate freezing upon contact with the cold bowl.
- Churn until the mixture is fully frozen and rises to fill the cooling bowl, typically resulting in a soft, spoonable consistency.
- To remove the ice cream, it is recommended to use a wooden or silicone spatula to avoid damaging the cooling tank. The ice cream can be transferred to a separate container for firmer storage in the freezer.
- Popsicle Making Process:
- Gently pour the popsicle preparation into the mold, taking care not to overfill.
- Insert the popsicle sticks.
- Place the mold in the freezer until the popsicles are frozen solid.
- To remove, detach the mold from its support and run it under warm water to loosen the popsicles.
- Safety Precautions:
- Always read instructions carefully before use to prevent injury or damage.
- Switch off and disconnect from the supply before changing accessories or approaching moving parts.
- Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or if the appliance malfunctions or is damaged.
- Do not immerse the cord, plug, or unit in water or other liquids.
- Avoid contact with moving parts; keep hands, hair, clothing, spatulas, and other utensils away during operation.
- Never leave the machine unattended.
- Do not stop and start the machine during the freezing process, as the mixture may freeze and obstruct the paddle.
- Protect hands when handling the frozen bowl to prevent freezer burn.
- If the freezing solution leaks from the bowl, discontinue use (the solution is non-toxic).
- Do not place the machine on hot surfaces.
- Always disconnect the appliance from the supply when unattended, or before assembling, disassembling, or cleaning.
