1-First Step: Prep your base. Mix your ingredients (for example milk, cream, fruit purees, or yogurt) until smooth, then pour into one of the included 16-ounce pints. Leave headspace according to your pint design so it can expand slightly during freezing.

2-Second Step: Freeze it overnight. Place the pint in the freezer for about 24 hours until the base is frozen solid. This matters because the machine transforms frozen solid bases into creamy frozen treats.

3-Third Step: Assemble the outer processing bowl and motor base. Insert the outer bowl and lid as directed, then place the frozen pint into the outer bowl. Lock everything into the motor base with dual-drive motors.

4-Fourth Step: Choose your program. Select the best match for your base:* Ice Cream for classic creamy results* Lite for lower-calorie textures* Sorbet for fruity frozen ices* Gelato for dense-style dessert texture* Milkshake for blended drinks* Smoothie Bowl for thick spoonable bases* Mix-in for adding chunks like chocolate, nuts, or fruit

5-Final Step: Serve and adjust with Re-Spin if needed. Once the program finishes, remove the pint, scoop, and enjoy. If the texture is too firm for your taste, use Re-Spin to soften or cream it further.
