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
The freezer bowl must be completely frozen before you begin your recipe. The length of time needed to reach the frozen state depends on how cold your freezer is. For the most convenient frozen desserts and drinks, leave your freezer bowl in the freezer at all times. You can take it out at any time for immediate use. In general, freezing time is between 6 hours and 22 hours. To determine whether the bowl is completely frozen, shake it. If you do not hear the liquid moving, the cooling liquid is frozen. Before freezing, wash and dry the bowl. Wrap it in a plastic bag to prevent freezer burn. 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 OR DRINKS
- Prepare recipe ingredients from pages that follow or from your own recipe. Cuisinart recipes begin on page 4. If you use your own recipe, be sure it yields 1-1⁄2 quarts or less. For best results, prepare ingredients in a container that is easy to pour from.
- Remove the freezer bowl from the freezer. (Remove plastic bag if you have wrapped freezer bowl.) Place the freezer bowl in the center of the base. NOTE: The Bowl will begin to defrost quickly once it has been removed from the freezer. Use it immediately after removing it from the freezer
- Place mixing arm in freezer bowl. The arm does not fit tightly. It just rests in the center of the bowl, with the circle side facing up.
- Place the lid on the base. Easy-lock lid mechanism allows the lid to rest on the base in multiple positions. The raised circle on the lid should line up with the raised area on the base (see diagram)
- Press On/Off switch to the ON position. The freezer bowl will begin to turn.
- Immediately pour ingredients through the ingredient spout.
- Frozen desserts or drinks will be done in 20-30 minutes. The time will depend on the recipe and volume of the dessert or drink you ar making. When the mixture has thickened to your liking, it is done. If you desire a firmer consistency, transfer the dessert or drink to an airtight container and store it in the freezer for two or more hours
NOTE: Do not store frozen desserts or drinks in the freezer bowl.Desserts and drinks will stick to the side of the freezer bowl and may damage the bowl. Store only in a plastic airtight container.
ADDING INGREDIENTS
Ingredients such as chips and nuts should be added about 5 minutes before the recipe is complete. Once the dessert or drink has begun to thicken, add the ingredients through the ingredient spout. Nuts and other ingredients should be no larger than a chocolate chip
SAFETY FEATURE
The Cuisinart® Automatic Frozen Yogurt–Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker is equipped with a safety feature that automatically stops the unit if the motor overheats. This may occur if the dessert or drink is extremely thick, if the unit has been running for an excessively long period of time, or if added ingredients (nuts, etc.) are in extremely large pieces. To reset the unit, put the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. Let the unit cool off. After a few minutes, you may turn the unit on again and continue making the dessert or drink.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
Cleaning Clean the freezer bowl, mixing arm, and lid in warm soapy water. DO NOT PUT THE FREEZER BOWL IN THE DISHWASHER. DO NOT CLEAN WITH ABRASIVE CLEANSERS OR IMPLEMENTS. Wipe the motor base clean with a damp cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly
Storage
DO NOT put the freezer bowl in the freezer if the bowl is wet. DO NOT store the lid, mixing arm, or base in the freezer. You may store the freezer bowl in the freezer for convenient, immediate use. Before freezing, wrap the bowl in a plastic bag to prevent freezer burn. Do not store frozen desserts or drinks in the freezer bowl in the freezer for more than 30 minutes at a time. Transfer frozen desserts or drinks to an airtight container for longer storage in the freezer.
