NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

CAUTION
This appliance is for household use. Any servicing other than cleaning and user maintenance should be performed by an authorized service representative.

Do not immerse the base in water.

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 BOWEL PREPARATION
The 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 at 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 the 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 recipe, making sure it yields 2 quarts or less. Do not fill the freezer bowl higher than ½” from the top. The ingredients will increase in volume during the freezing process. For best results, prepare ingredients in a container from which it is easy to pour.
2.  Remove the freezer bowl from the freezer. 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.
3.  Place mixing arm in freezer bowl. The 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 the lid to rest on the 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 the 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 the ingredient spout. Place the measurement cup on the lid. 8. Frozen desserts will be done in 15 to 40 minutes. The time will depend on the recipe and volume 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 it 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.  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.

• ADDING INGREDIENTS

In general, ingredients such as chips and nuts should be added about 5 minutes before the recipe is complete. Once the dessert has begun to thicken, add the ingredients through the ingredient spout. To add a chocolate swirl to ice cream, gelato, or frozen yogurt, drizzle in hot fudge or melted chocolate. The melted chocolate will harden once it makes contact with the freezing ingredients so add it in a slow drizzle to ensure that it does not clump.

• SAFETY FEATURE

Cuisinart® Gematria™ Frozen Yogurt, Ice Cream, Gelato & Sorbet Maker is equipped with a safety feature that automatically stops the unit if the system overheats. This may occur if the dessert is extremely thick, if the unit has been running for an excessively long period, or if added ingredients (nuts, etc.) are in extremely large pieces. Remove ingredients to serve or store, press the Start/Stop, and begin the process again, if making another cycle.

CLEANING, STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE

• 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.
• Maintenance
  Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY:
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents have the option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was purchased or (B) to another retail store that sells Cuisinart® products of the same type. The retail store shall then, at its discretion, either repair the product, refer the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace the product, or refund the purchase price less the amount directly attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the product. If the above two options do not result in the appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer may then take the product to an independent repair facility if service or repair can be economically accomplished. Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible for the reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming products under warranty.

RECIPE T IPS

• The recipes that follow offer you a variety of options for delicious frozen desserts. You may create or use recipes of your own, as long as bases yield 2 quarts or less. Recipe Tips
•  For optimum consistency, chill all mixtures for a minimum of 2 hours or up to 3 days. Always re-whisk the mixture after chilling to be sure all ingredients are well combined. While chilling the mixture is not required, resting it in a chilled environment helps bind the ingredients together, and prevents any ice or fat crystals from forming during the freezing process.
•  Some recipes use precooked ingredients. For best results, the precooked mixture should be chilled overnight or chilled over an ice bath before using. To make an ice bath, fill a large container with ice and water. Place a saucepan or other container into the ice bath. Cool precooked ingredients completely.
•  You may substitute lower-fat creams (e.g., half and half) and/or milk (reduced fat or low fat) for heavy cream and whole milk used in many recipes. However, keep in mind that the higher the fat content, the richer and creamier the result. Using lower-fat substitutes may change the taste, consistency, and texture of the dessert. When substituting, be sure to use the same volume of the substitute as you would
  have used for the original item. For example, if the recipe calls for 2 cups of cream, use a total of 2 cups of the substitute (such as 1 cup cream, plus 1 cup whole milk).
•  You may substitute artificial sweeteners for sugar. Stir the mixture thoroughly to dissolve the sweetener. See our recipe suggestions on page 14 for a guide.
•  If a firmer consistency is desired, after churning transfer to an airtight container and place in the freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before serving.
•  When making sorbet, be sure to test the ripeness and sweetness of the fruit before you use it. The freezing process reduces the sweetness of the fruit so that it will taste less sweet than the recipe mixture before churning. If the fruit tastes tart, add additional sugar to the recipe. If the fruit is very ripe or sweet, reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe. Use our sorbet recipes beginning on page 22 as a guide.
•  Make sure the mixing arm and lid are in place before turning on the machine.
