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:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
Always unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
To protect against risk of electric shock, do not place cord, plug, or base of appliance in water or any other liquid.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
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.
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 Centre for examination, repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment.
The use of attachments not recommended by Cuisinart® may cause fire, electric shock or risk of injuries.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
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.
This appliance is for household use. Any servicing other than cleaning and user maintenance should be done only by authorised Cuisinart® Repair Personnel.
Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.
Keep the appliance 8cm from other objects to ensure motor ventilation.
Do not upend this product or incline it over a 45 ̊ angle.
Do not use the appliance close by flame, hot plate or stoves.
Do not remove the paddle when the appliance is mixing.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

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

litres or less. Bases must be no more than 4 cups.
Place mixing bowl into the base. Be sure bowl is properly aligned in base. See image below for reference.

Place ice cream or gelato paddle in mixing bowl so that it rests in the centre of the bowl.
Pour ingredients into the mixing bowl. Position lid and lock into place by turning it anti-clockwise. Be sure the arrow on lid is lined up with the lock icon on the base. See image below for reference. Also, be sure the mix-in opening is centred in the front when in the lock position.

Press the Power button to turn the unit on. The red LED light will be on and the LCD screen will display “00”.
Press the Timer button to set the time. Once pressed, the timer will default to 60 minutes. Press and release timer button to decrease time in 1-minute increments. Press and hold to scroll down more quickly. Note: Time can be set up to 60 minutes or as low as 10 minutes. If you added too much time, continue to press Timer and it will bring you back to ten minutes.
Press the Start/Stop button to begin the Mixing/Cooling cycle. Timer will count down and the blue LED will be on, indicating that the Mixing/ Cooling has begun.
- Ingredients such as chips and nuts can be added towards the ending of mixing time. Once the dessert has begun to thicken (about 5 minutes left depending on recipe), add the ingredients through the mix-in opening. Note: To turn the unit off at any time, press the Power button. This will turn the unit off and reset all the previous functions.
The timer will count down to zero and when done, the unit will beep three times to note the ice cream or gelato is ready. Note: The red LED flash and the timer will be blinking “00”.
Turn the unit off by pressing the Power button. Remove the lid by turning it clockwise to unlock. Lift mixing bowl out of the base with handle. Remove paddle from mixing bowl.

Note: When making consecutive batches of ice cream or gelato, be sure to allow extra time for the compressor to adjust to cooling.
Tip: Unplug unit and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow for unit to cool before making a second batch.

Keep Cool

This function does exactly what it says….keeps cool! After the Mixing/ Cooling cycle is finished, the unit will go to Keep Cool.

Once your Mixing/Cooling time has finished the timer will blink “00”. The unit is now in the Keep Cool function and has a 10-minute wait period. After 10 minutes elapse, the compressor will come on and the display will flash “COOL”. The Keep Cool is a 10-minute cycle. When done, the unit will beep 5 times to note the cycle is finished. The unit will shut off and go into Standby mode.

Note: The mixing is not activated during the Keep Cool function. If you would like to mix as well, turn off the unit to reset the functions.
Note: You can turn the unit off at any time during Keep Cool.

Safety Features

The Cuisinart® Commercial Quality Ice Cream & Gelato Maker is equipped with a safety feature that automatically stops the unit if the motor overheats.
This safety system may activate under heavy loads, 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, press the Power button and unplug the unit. Let the unit rest. After a few minutes, you may turn the
unit on again and continue making the dessert.
