Operating Your Ice Cream Maker Freezing the Cooler Compartment 1. Place the cooler container in the freezer. At a temperature of -18 C it takes at least 12 hours until the container has cooled properly. At a higher temperature this takes longer. Preferably, leave the container in the freezer overnight. If you always leave the container in the freezer you can make ice cream whenever you want! 2. Remove the cooler container from the freezer immediately before making the ice cream. Making Ice Cream 1. Prepare the ingredients and mix them together according to the instructions in the recipe. 2. With cooked ingredients, place the mixing bowl over a pan of cold water to cool it down. 3. Place the mixture in the refrigerator to let them cool down (further) before you place them in the cooler compartment.
