BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
DO NOT immerse the motor base in water. Wipe it with a moist cloth. Wash the lid, freezer
bowl and mixing arm in warm soapy water to remove any dust or residue from the manufac-
turing and shipping process. DO NOT clean any of the parts with abrasive cleaners or hard
implements.
FREEZING TIME AND BOWL PREPARATION
T
he freezer bowl must be completely frozen before you begin your recipe. For the most con-
venient frozen desserts, leave your freezer bowl in the freezer at all times. You can take it out
any time for immediate use. In general, freezing time is between 12 hours and 24 hours. To
determine whether the bowl is completely frozen, shake it. If you do not hear liquid moving,
the cooling liquid is frozen. Before freezing, wash and dry the bowl. We recommend that you
place the freezer bowl in the back of your freezer where it is coldest.
Reminder:
Your freezer should be set to 0°F to ensure proper freezing of all foods.
MAKING FROZEN DESSERTS
1. Use Cuisinart’s recipes from the pages that follow, or use your own recipe, making sure it
yields 2 quarts or less. Do not fill the freezer bowl higher than ½" from the top. The ingredi-
ents will increase in volume during the freezing process. For best results, prepare ingredi-
ents in a container from which it is easy to pour.
2. Remove the freezer bowl from the freezer. Place freezer bowl on the center of the base.
NOTE:
Bowl will begin to defrost quickly once it has been removed from freezer. Use it
immediately after removing from freezer.
3. Place mixing arm in freezer bowl. Arm does not fit tightly. It rests in the center of the bowl,
with the circle side facing up.
4. Place lid on base, oriented to the right of center, and turn clockwise to lock. Easy-lock lid
mechanism allows lid to rest on base.
5. Once the unit is plugged in, all function buttons should be lit. Using the control panel, select
the desired function: ICE CREAM, GELATO or SORBET. You will hear a beep indicating
ready mode. Note: Use the ICE CREAM function when preparing frozen yogurt. The function
cannot be changed after the preparation cycle begins. If necessary, press Start/Stop twice
to reset the unit.
6. Select Start/Stop. The freezer bowl will start turning.
7. Immediately pour ingredients through ingredient spout. Place measurement cup on lid.
8. Frozen desserts will be done in 15 to 40 minutes. The time will depend on the recipe and vol-
ume of the dessert you are making. When the mixture has thickened to your liking, it is done.
If you desire a firmer consistency, transfer the dessert to an airtight container and store in the
freezer for two or more hours.
Once the time expires, the unit will beep for 5 seconds every 3 minutes, for an additional
maximum time of 30 minutes to remind you that your dessert is ready to serve or store.
NOTE:
There are many variables to the final consistency — room temperature, bowl
temperature, ingredient temperature, etc. If the recipe is done sooner, press Start/Stop.
NOTE:
Do not store frozen desserts in the freezer bowl. Desserts will stick to the side of the
freezer bowl and may damage the bowl. Store only in a plastic airtight container.
