Ice cream maker - like any equipment, has its own characteristics, requires proper handling and compliance with certain conditions. Then the device for a long time will come to properly serve the owner, delighting with quality work.
Regardless of the type of ice cream maker (automatic, mechanic or semi-automatic), the principle of operation is always the same — the device cools the contents with regular stirring, which allows the mass to freeze more evenly.
With this in mind, you should never put large pieces of fruit or other ingredients (berries, nuts, chocolate) into the future of ice cream. All fillers must be crushed.
Warm and hot substances require more energy to cool them, therefore, in order to avoid burnout of the motor of the ice-cream machine and deterioration of the cooling elements, only those products whose temperature does not exceed 40ºС should be placed in the device.
Do not put pieces of ice or sugar in the mixture, do not pour in liquids - solids can damage the spatula, and additionally pouring liquid freeze without mixing with the mass properly, which makes it unpleasant for the ice cream to creak on your teeth, as if it had broken glass.

Useful tips
Proper operation significantly extends the life of the ice cream maker. Here are some topical tips to monitor compliance with which is not at all difficult:
- Do not place the device near sources of heat and moisture. Too warm room prevents the normal operation of the ice cream maker, and high humidity can cause short-circuit and burnout;
- Always make sure that the ventilation grilles are not covered by something - the air must circulate freely. Without a constant air flow, the ice cream maker will not be able to cool the devices qualitatively, it will overheat and, eventually, will become unusable;
- After transporting, wait several hours before switching on, so that the cooling agent can settle on the bottom of the tank, or if you left the device on the street for the night - also wait for about three hours so that the condensate formed inside the objects at dawn evaporated and does not cause a short circuit;
- If you understand that the ambient temperature is far from the norm (too high, 35-40ºС.), Then it is better to transfer the ice cream maker to the cellar, or in case of emergency - wrap the device with a dry towel and wrap it over the foil, this stabilizes the temperature and prevents the motor from overheating. But do not close the vent caps.
In principle, it is not difficult to care for the ice cream maker, as any other home appliances with proper and careful handling, it will serve the owner for more than one year.
