What's the suitable temperature dial to ensure the milk doesn't freeze in door storage shelf, but ice creams don't melt in freezer compartment?

sorry, I was sent to Afghan while I ordered this product, but never gotit. The company was great about a refund. I do have a bigger Haier Frige MOdel HMSEO5WABB, that everyone uses here in the Sand Box, we keep it at 5 1/2 just right for everyone. The ICE cream does become soft due to a poor seal on the freezer box and extreme Temp changes here 90-100F in day and 60F at nght and constant opening of the door by everyone.

I have stored in my pantry with no problems the temp. is between 72*-80* my yogurt has been as good ever. I am not sure if this is a correct way of storing.

I have experienced some freezing. I avoid it by freezing my storage container while my ice cream is underway. The longer it takes to transfer from the machine to storage, the more likely the ice cream will freeze. I make chocolate ice cream with starbucks hot chocolate mix, it withstands freezing. With vanilla, I replace whole milk with 1/2 & 1/2 and add cream cheese to result in a creamier mix. Also try unflavored gelatin. Notwithstanding, I still experience some freezing. According to experts, this happens because of the time lapse in the transfer process.

As long as the ice pack is in there, the milk stays freezing cold. I used to take it to work for 15+ hour days and my milk would be freezing when I got home.

You're looking for a proofer. This fridge will not work for that; the temperature is not adjustable in that sense. Try this: http://www.amazon.com/Folding-Bread-Proofer-Yogurt-Maker/dp/B005FCZMU6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405044601&sr=8-1&keywords=proofer

My ice cream mixture is cold but not frozen or slushy. I turn it a couple of times every few minutes for about 15 minutes then it is ready. I have not had that problem. I turn it in both directions even though the directions say one direction.

There is an adapter and ring that allows her to pump into liner. When done she can remove adapter piece and there's a screw on top that attaches to ring to keep milk from spilling. This is how I transport fresh/refrigerated milk to my sitter. She can also freeze milk like this then remove ring & top once milk is frozen. I then put liners of frozen milk into Ziploc freezer bags. Some people also put plastic wrap over the open top to help prevent freezer burn. This way rings are available for use again with pump.

At least make sure that there is ample ventilation in the location around your freezer. For the one in my motorhome, I install one of those 4" computer fan through the wall of the compartment, then I monitored the compressor run time during hot days when in Southern Texas and there is not much difference than on cooler days. Change of air around the cooling coil at the back and compressor will ensure that your freezer will last a normal life.

Yes, I have two glorified buckets! The lid is built very cheaply. The expansion of the ice cream pushes the freezer-gel insert straight through the lid. I got one batch out of one and two out of the other. My freezer is only set to -2F. The small spoon shape on the lid also makes it difficult to turn to get the container open.

Say friend, the problem is the freezer temperature is not low enough. You need at least 0 Deg. for the bowl to freeze up. We had the same sad faces when we first tried. Used a good thermometer and adjusted freezer temp. until 0 Deg. was reached. Might take about 24 hours to get it adjusted, but it is worth the effort. If results are not as stiff as you like, put ice cream in another container and return to freezer to make ice cream harder. Machine does make soft ice cream. We use small covered bowls. Hope this information helps. It is a good machine.

Sort of. I have to freeze them flat first, and then slide them in at a sort of diagonal. An ice cube container works just as well, if not better, to be honest. The only bags that work well with this system are the First Years milk storage bags.

You got a cold fridge! Not to me. But be careful not to fill your container to the brim, the ice cream can work its way into the lid. Don't try and take the lid apart: you will render it useless. Leaving you with a glorified bucket.

My cooler keeps the milk very cold and the milk lasts for several days: I just measured the milk at 34F which is comfortably lower than what is required to keep milk from spoiling. There is a push button on/off switch on the back that also controls the blue light. I think your machine may be defective and you should consider returning it. Measure the milk temperature and if it is not lower than 38F the milk will not keep long. Safest to always use pasteurized milk.

Not sure precise temps but, you can set it low enough to freeze food in certain spots. I would say normal range for any regular refridgerator

Hi, It obviously has to touch the plastic churner inside the drum to be able to keep the ice cream moving as it freezes. It never touches the inner workings, the makings go in a removeable container, when it's cycle is complete, you remove the container and take out the plastic turner, your ice cream has the consistancy of soft serve. I usually put it in a Tupperware container and freeze for later use.

Here's a tip I never found in an ice cream recipe, but it helps immeasurably with hardness and ice crystals: Chill the mixture overnight before freezing in ice cream maker (should be at least 40 degrees but NOT frozen), then beat a little air into it with a mixer...that's what pro ice cream companies do. Still won't be exactly like the commercial type, but it will be much better!

Yes, setting "1" is the warmest, and "5" is the coldest. I keep ours at about 3, and it does not freeze items in the refrigerator. There is a film of ice in the freezer compartment.
