Instructions for Use
Before using your dispenser for the first time, disassemble the device and fully clean the unit as per the cleaning instructions in this manual.
Prior to Filling
- Check whether the head gasket (RP001) is inserted in the device’s headset (RP009/RP010) and that the piston (RP005/RP006) is clear of all obstructions.
- Lightly screw the preferred decorator tip onto the dispenser valve until it no longer turns.Filling
- Fill the dispenser with your cream, soup, or other preparation. Use a sieve if your preparation contains solid ingredients (like fruit seeds, cloves, or granulated sugar).Do not pour liquids at a temperature higher than 40°C/104°F into the device.Note: The maximum filling amount is 500ml (ICO002, ICO003, ICO004) or 1L (ICO003, ICO005). Pay attention to the external filling line and labelling on the base of the bottle. DO NOT OVERFILL YOURDISPENSER. The remaining empty space is required for optimum aeration. For best results, use a measuring cup when filling your dispenser. Warning: Fully dissolve sugars or powdered inCharging
- Screw the device’s headset onto the bottle so that it is straight and sealed tightly.Warning: NEVER attach the head so that it is crooked.
- Insert one 8g N2O cartridge into the charger holder.Warning: NEVER use more than one 8g N2O charger at a time.Warning: NEVER charge the dispenser with anything other than 8g N2O cartridges, 8g Co2 cartridges, or 2g N2 cartridges.Warning: NEVER insert the charger if there is no decorator nozzle attached to the dispensing valve.
- Screw on the charger holder (with the charger inserted) to the device’s headset until you hear all the contents of the charger release into the bottle (a quiet “sss” will be heard).Warning: NEVER lean your body over the device when charging your dispenser.Warning: The device is now pressurized. Caution should be taken at all times when handling a pressurized whipped cream dispenser. NEVER point a pressurized whipped cream dispenser at yourself or anyone else.Warning: NEVER HEAT A PRESSURIZED WHIPPED CREAM DISPENSER.
- Unscrew the charger holder from the device and remove the empty cartridge from the device and discard it.Warning: DO NOT use the device with the charger holder still attached to the dispenser. The charger holder and the empty charger MUST BE REMOVED from the dispenser before it can be used.Note: There may be a slight hissing sound when unscrewing the charger holder. This is a normal biproduct of the charging process.
- Shake the device up and down to aerate your preparation. The more the device is shaken the stiffer the preparation will be when dispensed.
Note: The required number of shakes is important for achieving the optimum consistency for your preparation. Shaking the device too many times will cause the contents to solidify and it will be difficult to dispense.
Refer to the following table to find the recommended number of shakes:
| Type of Cream | Fat Content | Required Shakes |
| Fresh Cream | 33% – 36% | 10-12 |
| Non-perishable Cream | 32% | 15-20 |
For preparations with a low-fat content (minimum 30%), or if the consistency is too soft, shake again until desired consistency is reached.
Dispensing
To dispense the contents of your dispenser, turn the device upside down (with the decorator tip in the vertical position) and gently press the lever.
Note: Always dispense a small amount to test the consistency first.
Warning: Your dispenser may get warm when using a warm preparation.
Storage
A full/pressurized whipped cream dispenser can be stored in the fridge for up to 14 days. Do not store a pressurized dispenser on its side.
Tips and Tricks
- When preparing a chilled preparation, the liquid should be chilled when poured into the dispenser.
- If your preparation contains gelatin, set it aside to cool to room temperature before pouring it into the bottle. After allowing the preparation to cool, fill and charge your dispenser. Store the filled dispenser in the refrigerator for at least 4-6 hours before dispensingWarning: NEVER store a filled or pressurized dispenser in the freezer or a deep freeze compartment (including a blast chiller).
- When preparing warm preparations, heat the liquid before pouring it into thedispenser. NEVER use a liquid over 40°C/104°F with your whipped cream dispenser. DO NOT use warm preparations with a plastic head dispenser. Aluminum or stainless-steel dispensers with an aluminum or stainless-steel headset can be kept warm in a baine marie up to a maximum temperature of 40°C/104°F until they are pressurized.
Warning: DO NOT HEAT A PRESSURIZED DISPENSER.
Warning: The dispenser will get warm when preparing warm preparations.
- If a warm preparation must be quickly cooled to room temperature after pouring it into the bottle, the filled dispenser can be left open in the fridge to cool (without the headset).
- The preparation should be dispensed from the device as close to possible to the time of consumption.
- Periodically clean the decorator tips during use to avoid clogs.
- Regularly oil the charger holder thread to avoid grinding (common cooking oils such as sunflower or olive oil should be used – do not use non-cooking oils).

Troubleshooting
Warning: NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN A PRESSURIZED DISPENSER. You can be seriously injured or killed by this device if you open it when it is pressurized. ALWAYS completely release the pressure in your dispenser before attempting to remove the device’s headset.
Problem: Dispenser’s lever is stuck and will not dispense
Solution: Release the pressure in your dispenser without using the lever.
Warning: NEVER position your body over your whipped cream dispenser when releasing pressure in this way. Do not use excessive force.
Note: Only attempt to release your dispenser’s pressure in a sink, as it can be very messy.
- DO NOT attempt to remove the device’s headset.
- Unscrew the nozzle and nozzle attaching valve so the piston is exposed.
- Cover the exposed piston with a towel. The towel will absorb all the excess cream/preparation in the dispenser.
- Firmly push down on the piston so that it moves, releasing the gas in the dispenser. DONOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE.
- The gas and preparation inside the dispenser will be dispensed into the towel.

Problem: The dispensed preparation is too runny
Solution #1: The device has been overfilled. Release the pressure in your dispenser and pour out the excess content. You may now re-charge and use the dispenser. Solution #2: The preparation used does not have a high enough fat content. Cream used in your dispenser must have a minimum fat content of 30%. Solution #3: The preparation needs more shaking so that the gas incorporates with the cream.
Problem: The cartridge has not been pierced (gas is not entering the dispenser)
Solution #1: The cartridge was inserted incorrectly. Remove the cartridge and try again, following the steps in this manual closely.Solution #2: The piercing needle has been damaged. Contact us at www.icotrading.com for assistance.
Problem: It is difficult to screw on the charger holder
