keep counters neat and safe.
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
manufacturing 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
convenient 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 (-18°C) to ensure proper freezing of all foods.
MAKING FROZEN DESSERTS
1. Use Cuisinart
TM
recipes from the pages that follow, or use your own recipe, making sure it
yields 2 quarts (1.89 L) or less. Do not fill the freezer bowl higher than 1/2 inch (1.25 cm)
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. Adjust the preset time by using the arrows, if necessary. Max time is 60 minutes. (Time
can not be adjusted after the process begins.) Select Start/Stop. The freezer bowl will start
turning, and the pre-programmed time will appear on the LCD screen.
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 timer will begin counting negative to keep the unit cool for an
additional maximum time of 30 minutes. The unit will beep for 5 seconds every 5 minutes
during the keep-cool feature 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.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, including the following:
1.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
2. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not place cord, plug, or base of appliance in
water or any other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4. Always unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and
before cleaning.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas and other
utensils away during operation to reduce the risk of injury and/or damage to the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance mal-
functions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest
Cuisinart Repair Center for examination, repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not recommended by Cuisinart may cause fire, electric shock or
risk of injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Keep hands and utensils out of freezer bowl while in use to reduce the risk of injury to per-
sons or to the appliance itself. DO NOT USE SHARP OBJECTS OR UTENSILS INSIDE THE
FREEZER BOWL! Sharp objects will scratch and damage the inside of the freezer bowl. A
rubber spatula or wooden spoon may be used when the appliance is in the OFF position.
11. This appliance is for household use. Any servicing other than cleaning and user mainte-
nance should be done only by authorized Cuisinart Repair Personnel.
12. Do not use the freezer bowl on flames, hot plates or stoves. Do not expose to heat source.
Do not wash in dishwasher; doing so may cause risk of fire, electric shock or injury.
13.
Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall cabinet.
When
storing in an appliance garage always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
Not
doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the
garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.
