Freeze your recipe in the Pint Cup for at least 24 hours, then fit the Blade Block, lock the cup onto the Motor Base, choose a program and press Start. The steps below follow the nutribullet Chill™ Ice Cream Maker user guide.
How do I prepare and freeze my recipe?
- Set your freezer between -20°C and -15°C for best results.
- If your recipe uses sugar, dissolve it fully in the liquid before freezing. If you heat it to dissolve, let it cool completely first.
- Fill the Pint Cup with your recipe. Do not go above the MAX FILL line, and keep it above the MIN FILL line to avoid an error.
- Snap on the Storage Lid and freeze the Pint Cup for at least 24 hours. Keep it level in the freezer so it freezes evenly.
- It is fine if the mix rises above the MAX FILL line when frozen, as long as the Blade Block still fits fully. If it does not, remove some with a spoon.
How do I set up the Chill and start a program?
- Take the Pint Cup out of the freezer, remove the Storage Lid and process it within 5 minutes.
- Place the Motor Base on a clean, dry, level surface and plug it in.
- Fit the Blade, Blade Block and Blade Shaft onto the Pint Cup by turning clockwise. Pull the Blade Shaft until the Blade rests against the top of the Blade Block, or the CHECK BLADE light will show.
- Turn the cup upside down and lower it onto the Motor Base, Blade Shaft first. Line up the tabs with the notches, press down and turn clockwise to lock.
- When the programs light up, choose one and press Start. The Progress Ring flashes while it runs, and the Chill beeps when it is finished.
- Some programs stop and start several times before they finish. This is normal.
Which program should I use?
- There are five programs. Each takes about 3 to 4½ minutes.
- Ice Cream for creamy, churned ice cream.
- Gelato for smooth, rich Italian-style ice cream.
- Frozen Yogurt for regular or Greek yogurt with flavours.
- Sorbet to turn fruit into sorbet.
- Smoothie Bowl to turn smoothie recipes into a scoopable frozen treat.
- To pause, tap the Start/Stop button. Tap it again to carry on. To cancel, press and hold it for 2 seconds.
My ice cream is dry or crumbly. Can I re-spin it?
- Yes. Some recipes look dry or crumbly at the top when finished. This is normal. To soften it, run a second cycle on the Ice Cream program.
- Add toppings such as lollies or nuts after processing. Loose pieces added before will fall to the bottom and will not be mixed in.
How do I remove the cup and store leftovers?
- When the program is done, press and hold the Release Button and turn the Pint Cup anticlockwise to take it off.
- Wait for the Blade to stop fully, then turn the Blade Block anticlockwise and lift it out. Unplug the Chill when you are finished.
- To refreeze leftovers, press them down with a spoon. They must still be above the MIN FILL line. Wipe the inside rim with a towel first so the Blade Block fits after freezing.
How do I clean my nutribullet Chill™?
- Unplug the Chill and wait until all parts stop moving before cleaning.
- The Pint Cup, Lid, Blade, Blade Block and Shaft can go on the top rack of the dishwasher, or be washed by hand in warm, soapy water. Remove the Blade from the Blade Block before using the dishwasher.
- Do not use the dishwasher's heat or sanitise cycle, steel wool or abrasive cleaners.
- Wipe the Motor Base with a damp sponge or cloth and mild soapy water. Never put it in water or the dishwasher.
- Store the Chill unplugged, with the Blade Cover on the Blade or the Blade fitted to the Pint Cup. Never leave an exposed Blade Block on the Motor Base.
What safety points should I know?
- Never use hot or warm ingredients in the Chill. They can build pressure in the Pint Cup and cause serious injury.
- Use frozen recipes only. Do not use hard ingredients, loose frozen fruit or ice, and never run the Chill with an empty Pint Cup.
- Check the Pint Cup for cracks and the Blade Block for damage before each use. Remove all utensils from the Pint Cup before you start.
- Never remove the cup while the Chill is running.
- The Blades are sharp. Never use your fingers or tongue to remove mix from the Blade.
- The Blade Shaft can get hot. Carry the cup with both hands on the Pint Cup and Blade Block, not by the shaft. If the shaft feels warm, run it under cool water before handling.
- Never microwave a frozen Pint Cup.
