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 the risk of electric shock, do not place the cord, plug, or base of the 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 the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair, and 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 malfunctions or is dropped, or is damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest Cuisinart Repair Center for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not recommended by Cuisinart may cause fire, electric shock, or risk of injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Keep hands and utensils out of the freezer bowl while in use to reduce the risk of injury to persons 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 maintenance 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 Toto to a 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

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.

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If a long, polarized extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or animals, or tripped over.

CAUTION

• Do not immerse the base in water.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not disassemble the base. Note: The base does not contain any user-serviceable parts.
• Repairs should be made only by authorized personnel.
• Check the voltage to be sure that the voltage indicated on the name plate agrees with your voltage.
• Never clean with scouring powders or hard implements.

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. Before freezing, wash and dry the bowl. The length of time needed to reach the frozen state depends on how cold your freezer is. It is recommended that you place the freezer bowl in the back of your freezer where it is coldest. Be sure to place the freezer bowl on a flat surface in its upright position for even freezing.

Generally, freezing time is between 16 and 24 hours. Shake the bowl to determine whether it is completely frozen. If you do not hear the liquid within the bowl moving, the cooling liquid is therefore frozen. For the most convenient frozen desserts and drinks, leave your freezer bowl in the freezer at all times. Use the bowl immediately after removing it from the freezer. It will begin to quickly defrost once it has been removed from the freezer.

Reminder: Your freezer should be set to 0°F to ensure proper freezing of all foods.

MAKING FROZEN DESSERTS

1. Prepare recipe ingredients from the pages that follow or from your own recipe. Flip the booklet over for Cuisinart recipes. If you use your own recipe, be sure it yields 1½ quarts or less.
2. Remove the freezer bowl from the freezer. Place the freezer bowl in the center of the base.
   NOTE: Bowl will begin to defrost quickly once it has been removed from the freezer. Use it immediately after removing from the freezer.
3. Place the mixing paddle in the freezer bowl. It just rests in the center of the bowl, with the circular side facing up.
4. Place the lid on the base and rotate clockwise until the tabs on the lid lock in place on the base.
5. Press the On/Off switch to the ON position. The freezer bowl will begin to turn.
6. Immediately pour ingredients through the ingredient spout.
   NOTE: Ingredients must be added to the freezer bowl after the unit is turned on.
7. Frozen desserts will be done in less than 20 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.

NOTE: Do not store frozen desserts in the freezer bowl. Desserts will stick to the sides of the freezer bowl and may damage the bowl. Store only in a freezer-safe airtight container.

ADDING INGREDIENTS

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. 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 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 and unplug the unit. Let the unit cool off. After a few minutes, you may turn the unit on again and continue making the dessert.

CLEANING, STORAGE, AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Clean the freezer bowl, mixing paddle, and lid in warm soapy water. DO NOT PUT FREEZER BOWL IN THE DISHWASHER. DO NOT CLEAN WITH ABRASIVE CLEANSERS OR IMPLEMENTS. Wipe the tor base clean with a damp cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly.

Storage

DO NOT put a freezer bowl in the freezer if the bowl is wet. DO NOT store lid, mixing paddle, or base in freezer. You may store the freezer bowl in the freezer for convenient, immediate use. Do not store frozen desserts in the freezer bowl in the freezer for more than 30 minutes at a time. Transfer frozen desserts to a freezer-safe, airtight container for longer storage in the freezer.

Maintenance

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

RECIPE TIPS

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 they yield no more than 1½ quarts.

• Frozen desserts from the Cuisinart® Automatic Frozen Yogurt–Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker use pure, fresh ingredients. Because of this, the desserts and drinks do not have the same characteristics as commercially prepared frozen desserts and drinks. Most store-bought versions use gums and preservatives to make them firmer.
  If you desire a firmer consistency, transfer the dessert to an airtight container and store in the freezer untithe l the desired consistency is reached, usually two or more hours.
• Some recipes use precooked ingredients. For best results, the mixture should be chilled overnight before using. Or, chill the recipe over an ice bath until it is completely cooled, foruse.
• Foruse anas ce bath, fill a large container with ice and water. Place the saucepan or other container into the ice bath. Cool precooked ingredients completely.
• Prior to freezing, most recipes may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• You may substitute lower-fat creams (e.g., half and half), milk (reduced-fat or low-fat as well as non-dairy milks (soy, rice) 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 of the original item. For example, if the recipe calls for two cups of cream, use a total of two cups of the substitute (such as 1 cup cream, 1 cup whole milk).
• You may substitute artificial sweeteners for sugar. If the recipe is to be precooked, add the sweetener after the heating process is complete and the ingredients have cooked. Stir the mixture thoroughly to dissolve the sweetener.
• In recipes that use alcohol, add the alcohol during the last two minutes of the freezing process. Otherwise, the alcohol may impede the freezing process.
• 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. If the fruit tastes tart, add sugar to the recipe. If the fruit is very ripe or sweet, reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe.
• The Cuisinart recipes listed below will yield up to 1½ quarts of dessert. When pouring ingredients in through the ingredient spout, DO NOT fill the freezer bowl higher than ¼-inch from the top of the freezer bowl. The ingredients will increase in volume during the freezing process.
• When making more than one recipe at a time, be sure the freezer bowl is completely frozen before each use. Additional freezer bowls may be purchased on the Cuisinart website (www.cuisinart.com).
• Make sure the mixing paddle and lid are in place before turning on the machine.
