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.

BEFORE USING IT 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, the 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 own 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 Place freezer bowl on 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 it from the freezer.

3. Place mixing arm in freezer bowl. The arm does not fit 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 Easy-lock lid mechanism allows lid to rest on the base.
5. Once the unit is plugged in, all function buttons should be 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 ingredients Place measurement cup on the lid.
8. Frozen desserts will be done in 15 to 40 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 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.
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.

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® Gelateria™ 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 of time, or if added ingredients (nuts, etc.) are in extremely large pieces. Remove ingredients to serve or store, press the Start/Stop, begin the process again, if making another cycle

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 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 pre-cooked 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 saucepan or another container into the ice bath. Cool precooked ingredients completely.
• You may substitute lower-fat creams (e.g., half and a 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 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 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.
