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 coldyour 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 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 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

1.  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, prepareingredients in a container that is easy to pour from.
2. Remove the freezer bowl from the freezer. (Remove plastic bag if you have wrapped freezer bowl.) Place freezer bowl on the center of the base.
   NOTE: Bowl will begin to defrost quickly once it has been removed from freezer. Use it immediately after removing from freezer.
3. Place mixing arm in freezer bowl. Arm does not fit tightly. It just rests in the center of the bowl, with the circle side facing up.
4. Place lid on base. Easy-lock lid mechanism allows lid to rest on base in multiple positions. The raised circle on the lid should line up with the raised area on the base (see diagram)
5. Press On/Off switch to ON position. Freezer bowl will begin to turn.
6. Immediately pour ingredients through ingredient spout.
7. 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 are 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 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.
