BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

DO NOT immerse the compressor motor base and mixing arm in water. Wipe it with a moist cloth. Wash the lid, mixing bowl and mixing paddle 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, hard implements, or in the dishwasher.

MAKING FROZEN DESSERTS OR DRINKS

Caution: 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.

1.Prepare recipe ingredients from the Cuisinart recipe book or from your recipe. If you use your own recipe, be sure it yields 1-1/2 quarts (1.4 L) or less. For best results, prepare ingredients in an easy-pour container.

2.Place mixing bowl in unit

3.Pour ingredients into bowl

4.Put motor arm and lid together

5.Place mixing paddle in lid. Paddle does not fit tightly. (It is snug enough to hold paddle in but not to lock in).

6.Place lid and motor arm on unit

7.Turn dial to selected time (maximum: 60 minutes). Processing will begin. The unit will stop mixing and turn itself off when set time has elapsed. Audible tone will sound to alert you that unit is off .

Note: If frozen dessert reaches maximum thickness before set time has elapsed, the unit will stop mixing. If you don’t shut off the unit manually, the timer will continue counting down to "0" and will then shut itself off.

8.Frozen desserts or drinks process in 35-60 minutes. Processing time depends on the recipe, the amount of dessert being made, and temperature of the ingredients being used. Soft ice cream takes about 35-45 minutes; hard ice cream takes about 45-60 minutes. For firmer consistency, transfer the dessert to an airtight container and store it in the freezer for at least two hours.

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.

Cleaning

Clean the mixing bowl, mixing paddle and lid in warm, soapy water. Wipe motor base clean with damp cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly. Do not wash parts in the dishwasher.
