Cleaning Your Ice Cream Maker
Caring For Your Wooden Bucket
When not being used continuously, the wooden bucket of your maker will become dried
out after it has been stored away for any length of time. You should fill the bucket half
way with water before each use (especially when using for the first time). This will
give it the wood a chance to swell up so that the salt brine solution will not leak out
during the freezing process. Soak for 60 minutes, then discard the water. Remember to
store in a cool location to help increase the life of your maker.
1. Unplug Ice Cream Maker from outlet before cleaning.
2. Make sure the wooden bucket is rinsed and dried, so that salt does not corrode the metal parts.
3. Wash the steel canister with soapy water, making sure it is completely dried.
NOTE: Do not immerse the motor unit, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.
