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 risk of electric shock, do not place cord, plug, or base of 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 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 mal-

functions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest

Cuisinart Repair Center for examination, repair, 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 cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

10. Keep hands and utensils out of freezer bowl while in use to reduce the risk of injury to per-

sons 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 mainte-

nance 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 dishwasher; doing so may cause risk of fire, electric shock or injury.

13.

Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall cabinet. When

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

1. Cap With Measurement Cup

Pour recipe ingredients through the spout. Also use to

add ingredients, like chips or nuts, without interrupting

the freezing cycle.

2. Easy-Lock Lid with Ingredient Spout

Transparent to let you watch the freezing process as it

progresses. Lid is designed to easily lock to the base.

3. Mixing Arm

Mixes and aerates ingredients in freezer bowl to create

frozen desserts.

4. Freezer Bowl

Contains cooling liquid within a double insulated wall to

create fast and even freezing. Double wall keeps the bowl

cool and at an even temperature.

5. Control Panel with Timer

Select function and preset program time will appear.

6. Base

Contains heavy-duty motor system strong enough to

handle ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt, and sorbet.

7. Rubber Feet (not shown)

Nonslip feet keep base stationary during use.

8. Cord Storage (not shown)

Unused cord is easily pushed into the bottom of base to

keep counters neat and safe.

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 manufac-

turing and shipping process. DO NOT clean any of the parts with abrasive cleaners or hard

implements.

FREEZING TIME AND BOWL PREPARATION

he freezer bowl must be completely frozen before you begin your recipe. For the most con-

venient frozen desserts, 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 12 hours and 24 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. 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 ingredi-

ents will increase in volume during the freezing process. For best results, prepare ingredi-

ents in a container from which it is easy to pour.

2. Remove the freezer bowl from the freezer. 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 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 lock. Easy-lock lid

mechanism allows lid to rest on base.

5. Once the unit is plugged in, all function buttons should be lit. Using the control panel, select

the desired function: ICE CREAM, GELATO or SORBET. You will hear a beep indicating

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. Adjust the preset time by using the arrows, if necessary. Max time is 60 minutes. (Time can-

not be adjusted after the process begins.) Select Start/Stop. The freezer bowl will start turn-

ing, and the pre-programmed time will appear on the LCD screen.

7. Immediately pour ingredients through ingredient spout. Place measurement cup on lid.

8. Frozen desserts will be done in 15 to 40 minutes. The time will depend on the recipe and vol-

ume 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 timer will begin counting negative to keep the unit cool for an

additional maximum time of 30 minutes. The unit will beep for 5 seconds every 5 minutes

during the keep-cool feature 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.

CLEANING, STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Clean the freezer bowl, mixing arm and lid in warm soapy water. DO NOT PUT FREEZER BOWL

IN THE DISHWASHER. DO NOT CLEAN WITH ABRASIVE CLEANSERS OR IMPLEMENTS. Wipe

motor base clean with damp cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly.

Storage

DO NOT put freezer bowl in freezer if bowl is wet. DO NOT store lid, mixing arm, or base in

freezer.

Maintenance

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

combined. While chilling the mixture is not required, resting it in a chilled environ

ment helps bind the ingredients together, and prevents any ice or fat crystals from

forming during the freezing process.

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).

chocolate into the churning ice cream. The ice cream will have a soft,

creamy texture. If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the ice

cream to an airtight container and place in freezer for about 2 hours.

Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before serving.

Rich Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

For the true vanilla lover, be sure to use fresh vanilla beans to

capture the intense ﬂavor.

Makes about 6 cups (twelve ½-cup servings)

⁄3 cups whole milk

2½ cups heavy cream

1¼ cups granulated sugar, divided

Pinch kosher salt

1 whole vanilla bean, halved and seeds scraped

7 large egg yolks

1. In a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat, add the milk,

cream, half of the sugar, salt and the scraped vanilla bean (including

the pod). Whisk to combine and bring the mixture just to a boil.

2. While the milk/cream mixture is heating, combine the yolks and

remaining sugar in a medium bowl. Using a hand mixer on low speed

or whisk, beat until mixture is pale and thick.

3. Once the milk/cream mixture has come to a slight boil, whisk about

⁄3

of the hot mixture into the yolk/sugar mixture. Add another

⁄3

of the

mixture, then return the combined mixture to the saucepan. Using a

wooden spoon, stir the mixture constantly over low heat until it

thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon. This mixture must

NOT boil or the yolks will overcook – the process should only take a

few minutes.

4. Let ice cream base come to room temperature. Then cover and

refrigerate at least 2 hours, or overnight. Before churning, pour the

mixture through a fine mesh strainer and discard the vanilla pod.

5. Press Ice Cream and then Start/Stop. Pour the mixture through the

spout and then cover with the cap. Let mix until thickened. The ice

cream will have a soft, creamy texture. If a firmer consistency is

1 recipe Fig Purée (entire yield from recipe above)

Make the purée:

1. Put the figs, water and honey in a small saucepan. Bring mixture to a

boil and then immediately reduce the heat to maintain a slight simmer.

2. Continue simmering for at least 3 hours, adding water as necessary to

keep the figs covered while they are simmering.

3. When figs are really soft and there is only ½ cup of liquid remaining,

purée mixture with a hand blender until smooth. Refrigerate until ready

to use.

While the figs are simmering, prepare the base:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the cream and 1

⁄2

cups of the milk.

Set over medium/medium-low heat and bring to a simmer.

2. While cream/milk mixture is heating, put the remaining milk, sugar,

cornstarch, salt and vanilla into a medium mixing bowl. Whisk to

combine.

3. Once cream/milk mixture comes to a simmer, add the milk/sugar

mixture and stir until fully combined; reserve the mixing bowl for the

mascarpone. Add the mascarpone to the reserved bowl and whisk to

loosen slightly.

4. While still set over medium/medium-low heat, continuously stir until

mixture comes to a strong simmer and thickens slightly so it just coats

the back of a spoon (this will take no more than 20 minutes,

depending on the stove being used).

5. Remove pan from heat. Slowly pour the hot liquid into the

mascarpone, mixing with a hand mixer or whisk until mixture is

completely homogenous. Once mixture is homogenous, stir in pectin,

strain and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 2

hours, or overnight. Whisk mixture together again before pouring into

the ice cream maker. Mixture will be very thick.

6. Press Gelato and then Start/Stop. Pour the mixture through the spout

and then cover with the cap. Let mix until thickened. When the gelato

is almost fully churned, gradually add the fig purée, a dollop at a time.

Allow to mix thoroughly. The gelato will have a soft, creamy texture. If

a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the gelato to an

airtight container and place in freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from

freezer about 15 minutes before serving.

Mixed Berry Gelato

The richness of the cream and the sweetness of the berries are reminiscent of

pie à la mode.

Makes about 7 cups (fourteen ½-cup servings)

2 cups heavy cream

4 cups whole milk, divided

1½ cups granulated sugar

3 tablespoons cornstarch

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

2 cups mixed fresh or frozen (thawed) berries

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 tablespoons mixed berry jam

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the cream and 3 cups of the milk.

Set over medium/medium-low heat and bring to a simmer.

2. While cream/milk mixture is heating, put the remaining milk, sugar,

cornstarch and salt into a small-medium mixing bowl. Whisk to

combine. Using a blender, food processor or hand blender, purée the

berries until mostly smooth; reserve.

3. Once cream/milk mixture comes to a simmer, add the milk/sugar

mixture and stir until fully combined. While still set over medium/

medium-low heat, continuously stir until mixture comes to a strong

simmer and thickens slightly, so it just coats the back of a spoon (this

will take no more than 20 minutes, depending on the stove being used).

4. Remove pan from heat, stir in the puréed berries, vanilla and jam;

strain and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate a minimum

of 2 hours, or overnight. Whisk mixture together again before pouring

into the ice cream maker.

5. Press Gelato and then Start/Stop. Pour the mixture through the spout

and then cover with the cap. Let mix until thickened. The gelato will

have a soft, creamy texture. If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer

the gelato to an airtight container and place in freezer for about 2

hours. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before serving.
