The Soft Ice Cream Maker is a fantastic tool for making delicious frozen treats. However, like any piece of equipment, improper use or insufficient maintenance can lead to problems that can affect the quality of your ice cream or even damage the machine.
Here are the most common problems you may encounter if you don't know how to use a soft ice cream maker properly:
1. Ice too soft or too hard
This is a common problem and often linked to poor temperature regulation of the machine or poor management of the freezing cycle. If the ice cream is too soft, the freezing cycle is insufficient. On the contrary, if the ice cream is too hard, it means that the machine was set at too low a temperature or that the freezing cycle was too long.
2. Machine overheating
Overheating may be due to a lack of ventilation around the machine or debris buildup in the machine's filters. This can cause serious damage to the machine and reduce its life.
3. Blockage of the machine
The blockage is often due to an accumulation of ice in the machine. This can be avoided by performing regular defrosting and ensuring the machine is clean.
4. Hygiene issues
The maintenance of the ice machine is essential. A poorly cleaned machine can become a breeding ground for bacteria, affecting ice quality and posing health risks.
5. Ice not coming out properly
This problem can be due to a variety of causes, ranging from the composition of the ice cream mixture, to malfunctioning of the dispensing mechanism.
