48 Removing the Funnel Lid If not properly lubricated after use, the funnel lid may prove difficult to remove from the funnel. If this happens: 1. Make certain the mixing blade and freezing system are turned off. 2. Remove the dispenser assembly from the dessert maker by turning the dispenser assembly attachment knobs counter-clockwise until the assembly is free. Be sure to hold the assembly as the last knob is removed. 3. Turn the dispenser assembly so the flat side faces upwards. Using a thumb, press the funnel lid ingredient pusher where it fits into the dispenser assembly. The funnel lid should pop out easily. 4. Position the dispenser assembly on the housing, making sure the tip of the mixing blade shaft fits into the hole on the back of the dispenser assembly. Thread the attachment knobs onto the attachment bolts, and turn them clockwise until snug. Once the funnel is wetted with dessert ingredients, the funnel lid can be inserted and removed easily. To make removing the funnel lid easier after cleaning and storing the dessert maker, apply a light coating of vegetable oil to the O-ring on the pusher (see step 5 on page 47). CARE AND CLEANING 49 TROUBLESHOOTING • If the indicator light remains dark and the mixing blade fails to turn when the Mix Switch is turned on: – Make sure the funnel lid is securely positioned on the funnel. The funnel lid serves as an electrical interlock: the frozen dessert maker will not operate unless the lid is in place. – Make sure the frozen dessert maker is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet. If it is, unplug the frozen dessert maker, then plug it back into the same outlet again. Turn on the mixing blade by rocking the Mix Switch upward. If the mixing blade still does not rotate, check the fuse or circuit breaker on the electrical circuit the frozen dessert maker is connected to and make certain the circuit is closed. • If a dessert does not dispense well: – Make sure the Mix Switch is turned on and the mixing blade is rotating. – If a dessert has become too firm to dispense easily, shut off the Mix and Freeze Switches, wait a few minutes for the dessert to thaw, then turn the Mix Switch back on and dispense the dessert. – Check the dispensing lever. When the dispenser is fully closed, the lever should angle upwards. If the lever is almost horizontal in the closed position, the dispenser will not open fully. See step 3 on page 46 for proper dispenser assembly. • If the mixing blade shuts off while a dessert is being made: If a dessert becomes too stiff to mix, the frozen dessert maker will automatically shut off. If the Mix Switch is left on, the mixing blade will automatically re-start when the dessert has thawed. Although no immediate harm will result from leaving the Mix Switch on in this circumstance, repeated automatic on/off cycling will shorten the life of some components. If the dessert maker has automatically shut off, it is recommended that the Mix and Freeze Switches be turned off. Wait 5 minutes for the dessert to thaw, then turn the Mix Switch back on. If the mixing blade rotates, dispense the dessert; if not, turn off the Mix Switch and allow the dessert to thaw several more minutes before repeating the procedure. When the mixing blade is rotating, moving the dispensing lever up and down several times may help dispense a firm dessert. • If the dispenser drips during use: Make sure the dispensing lever is in the fully closed (up) position. When the lever is moved upward, you’ll feel it “snap” into the fully closed position. After dispensing a dessert, a small amount may cling to the mouth of the dispensing cylinder and bottom of the dispensing piston; this dessert will eventually melt and drip. This is normal. 50 • If condensation forms around the dispenser assembly: The freezing system will cause condensation to form around the dispenser assembly in humid environments. This is normal. • If a dessert backs up through the freezing cylinder vent: Most ingredients expand when frozen. Filling the dessert maker with a large quantity of ingredient mix may cause dessert to back up through the freezing cylinder vent during operation. This is normal and will not harm the dessert maker. Reduce the amount of mix used to prevent this from occurring. • If a dessert backs up into the ingredient funnel: During operation, some dessert may accumulate in the ingredient funnel. This is normal. If the funnel lid is not positioned securely, however, ingredients may fill and overflow the funnel. Make sure the lid is placed tightly on the funnel. • If a dessert never freezes adequately: Use less dessert mix. You can also try reducing the alcohol or sugar in the recipe. When using a commercial soft-serve ice cream mix, use only 1 quart of mix per batch. Greater quantities will not freeze adequately. If the problem cannot be fixed with the steps above, see the KitchenAid Warranty and Service section on page 53.* *Do not return the frozen dessert maker to the retailer, as they do n...
