Frequently Asked Questions - Gelateria ICE-60W CUISINART

How long does it take to freeze the freezer bowl before use?

The freezer bowl must be completely frozen before starting. Freezing time is between 12 and 24 hours at 0°F. Shake the bowl to check: if you don't hear liquid moving, it's ready.

Can I put the freezer bowl in the dishwasher?

No, the freezer bowl is not dishwasher safe. Do not wash it in the dishwasher, as doing so may cause risk of fire, electric shock, or injury. Clean it by hand in warm soapy water.

What should I do if the unit stops running during operation?

The unit may stop if the dessert is too thick, if it has been running too long, or if added ingredients are too large. Press Start/Stop and let the unit cool. Remove the dessert to serve or store, then you can begin again if making another cycle.

How do I add mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips?

Add ingredients such as chips or nuts about 5 minutes before the recipe is complete. Once the dessert begins to thicken, pour them through the ingredient spout. For a chocolate swirl, drizzle in hot fudge or melted chocolate slowly to avoid clumping.

Can I use artificial sweeteners instead of sugar?

Yes, you can substitute artificial sweeteners for sugar. Stir the mixture thoroughly to dissolve the sweetener. Note that the freezing process may affect sweetness, so adjust to taste.

Why is my finished recipe too thin?

If the dessert is too thin, it may be due to insufficient freezing of the bowl or ingredients. Place the freezer bowl back in the freezer and re-evaluate ingredients and/or bowl temperature. Ensure the bowl is completely frozen before use.

What is the maximum capacity for recipes?

Do not fill the freezer bowl higher than 1/2 inch from the top. The ingredients increase in volume during freezing. Use recipes that yield 2 quarts or less for best results.

How do I clean the motor base?

Do not immerse the base in water. Wipe it with a damp cloth. Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

What if I selected the wrong function?

If you selected the incorrect function, press the Start/Stop button twice to reset the unit. Then select the desired function (Ice Cream, Gelato, or Sorbet) before starting again.

Is the Cuisinart Gelateria ICE-60W covered by a warranty?

Yes, it comes with a limited 3-year warranty for defects in materials and workmanship under normal home use from the date of original purchase. Proof of purchase is required for warranty service.

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 malfunctions, 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 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 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 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

CAUTION

This appliance is for household use. Any servicing other than cleaning and user maintenance should be performed by an authorized 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 authorized personnel.
• Check voltage to be sure that the voltage indicated on the nameplate agrees with your voltage.
• Never clean with scouring powders or hard implements.

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. For the most convenient 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 12 from the top. The ingredients will increase in volume during the freezing process. For best results, prepare ingredients 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. Select Start/Stop. The freezer bowl will start turning.
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 volume 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 airlight container and store in the freezer for two or more hours.

Once the time expires, the unit will beep for 5 seconds every 3 minutes, for an additional maximum time of 30 minutes 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.

RECIPE TIPS

The recipes that follow offer you a variety of options for delicious frozen desserts. You may create or use recipes of your own, as long as bases yield 2 quarts or less.

Recipe Tips

• For optimum consistency, chill all mixtures for a minimum of 2 hours or up to 3 days. Always re-whisk the mixture after chilling to be sure all ingredients are well combined. While chilling the mixture is not required, resting it in a chilled environment helps bind the ingredients together, and prevents any ice or fat crystals from forming during the freezing process.
• Some recipes use precooked ingredients. For best results, the precooked mixture should be chilled overnight or chilled over an ice bath before using. To make an ice bath, fill a large container with ice and water. Place saucepan or other container into the ice bath. Cool precooked ingredients completely.
• You may substitute lower-fat creams (e.g., half and half) and/or milk (reduced fat 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).
• You may substitute artificial sweeteners for sugar. Stir the mixture thoroughly to dissolve the sweetener. See our recipe suggestions on page 14 for a guide.
• If a firmer consistency is desired, after churning transfer to an airtight container and place in freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before serving.
• When making sorbet, be sure to test the ripeness and sweetness of the fruit before you use it. The freezing process reduces the sweetness of the fruit so that it will taste less sweet than the recipe mixture before churning. If the fruit tastes tart, add additional sugar to the recipe. If the fruit is very ripe or sweet, reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe. Use our sorbet recipes beginning on page 22 as a guide.
  • Make sure the mixing arm and lid are in place before turning on machine.
