Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker

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, 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 damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest Cuisinart Repair Center for examination, repair, and 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 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 to heat source. Do not wash in the dishwasher; doing so may cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury.

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 Pure Indulgence 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, turn the ON/OFF switch to 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.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

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

DO NOT put the freezer bowl in the freezer if the bowl is wet. DO NOT store the lid, mixing arm, or base in the freezer. You may store the freezer bowl in the freezer for convenient, immediate use. Before freezing, wrap the bowl in a plastic bag to prevent freezer burn. Do not store frozen desserts or drinks in the freezer bowl in the freezer for more than 30 minutes at a time. Transfer frozen desserts or drinks to an airtight container for longer storage in the freezer.
