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.Always unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

3.To protect against risk of electric shock, do not place cord, plug, or base of appliance in water or any other liquid.

4.Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

5.Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas and other utensils away from unit 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 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 mixing 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 MIXING BOWL! Sharp objects will scratch and damage the inside of the 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.

14.Keep the appliance 8cm from other objects to ensure motor ventilation.

15.Do not upend this product or incline it over a 45˚ angle.

16.Do not use the appliance close by flame, hot plate or stove.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

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, grounded 3-prong 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

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 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 voltage to be sure that the voltage indicated on the name plate agrees with your voltage.

•Never clean with scouring powders or hard implements.

•Unit should remain upright at all times. If unit is turned on its side or upside down, you will need to put it in upright position and wait 24 hours before using.

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 the bases do not go over the top dasher on mixing paddle.

(refer to image of dasher on page 3)

Recipe Tips

•Gelato and Sorbet bases should be no more than 1 quart (should not go above the highest dasher on the paddle).

•Ice Cream bases should be no more than 5 cups (should not go above the highest dasher on the paddle).

•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, this step will prevent any “ice” or “fat” crystals from forming during the freezing process for resting it in a chilled environment helps bind the ingredients together.

•Frozen desserts from the Cuisinart® Ice Cream & Gelato Maker use pure, fresh ingredients. Because of this, the desserts do not have the same characteristics as commercially prepared frozen desserts. 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 until 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, before using. To make an ice bath, fill a large container with ice and water. Place 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 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). See our recipes starting on page 9 for more tips.

•You may substitute artificial sweeteners for sugar. Stir the mixture thoroughly to dissolve the sweetener. See our recipe using Splenda on page 15 for a guide.

•If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer to an airtight container

and place in 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. 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 on page 23 as a guide.

•Make sure the mixing paddle and lid are in place before turning on machine.

ADDING INGREDIENTS

•Ingredients such as chips and nuts should be added about 5 minutes before the freezing process is complete. You want it to still be soft enough to be able to fully incorporate into the frozen mixture.

•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.

* Our basic gelato recipe uses both cornstarch and liquid pectin for the creamiest consistency. Pectin is found in most grocery stores commonly near the gelatin and pudding section.
