The CUISINART FASTFREEZE ICE-FD10 is equipped with a resettable fuse to protect the motor from overheating. In case of overload or extreme strain, the motor will stop running. If this happens, release the power button and pull the power handle to its original position. Wait 10 seconds, then try again. If the unit still does not run, allow it to cool for 15 minutes before resuming use.

Use the following proportions as a starting point for your recipes:

Before using the CUISINART FASTFREEZE ICE-FD10 for the first time, remove all packaging materials. Wash the dessert cups in warm, soapy water. Do not immerse the Power Handle or Mixing Assembly in water or any other liquid; wipe them with a moist cloth. Do not clean any parts with abrasive cleaners or hard implements.

To operate:

1. Prepare the base recipe and fill the dessert cups. Do not fill past the MAX fill line for traditional/juice/noncarbonated recipes. For carbonated beverages, use one third less liquid than standard ice cream bases.

2. If the base needs to be frozen, place the lid on the dessert cup and freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours. Do not process bases that have been frozen on an angle or unevenly.

3. When the base is ready, remove the lid (if used) and attach the cup to the Mixing Assembly, twisting to lock. Note: Before processing, leave the frozen base at room temperature for up to 10 minutes. Carbonated beverages should be at room temperature for 5 minutes.

4. For milkshakes and slushy, add ingredients to the dessert cup and attach to the Mixing Assembly.

5. Once the cup is attached, attach the Power Handle to the top of the Mixing Assembly by pressing down until a clicking sound is heard. The dessert cup must be attached first, or the unit will not work.

6. Place the unit on a flat surface in the upright position. Ensure the dessert cup is locked and cannot rotate.

7. Choose your preset by rotating the preset dial, and plug the unit into a power outlet.

8. Hold the mixing assembly with one hand. With the other hand, firmly grasp the top of the Power Handle.

9. Press and hold the power button while applying downward pressure to the top of the power handle to process the treat. The green light will turn on until you have reached the bottom of the dessert cup. Press the power button to start the motor before applying downward force to avoid jamming. Do not release the power button until processing is complete and the power handle is returned to the upper starting position.

10. Keep pressing the power button and the top of the power handle until the green light turns red, indicating you have reached the bottom.

11. When the light turns red, guide the top of the power handle upward to its original position until the red light turns green, then release the power button.

To add mix-ins, remove the Power Handle and the dessert cup from the Mixing Assembly. Add the mix-in to the cup, then reattach the dessert cup to the Mixing Assembly and reinstall the Power Handle. Select the Mix Ins preset and then process.

Wash the dessert cups in warm soapy water or on the top shelf of the dishwasher. Do not clean with abrasive cleansers or implements. Wipe the Power Handle and Mixing Assembly clean with a damp cloth; do not immerse these parts in water or any other liquid. To clean the mixing assembly, rinse it in water under the tap after pressing the blade shaft from the other side of the blending assembly to expose it completely. Dry all parts thoroughly.

For storage, keep all parts out of the reach of children. Dry dessert cups may be stored in the freezer. Do not store the Power Handle or Mixing Assembly in the freezer.

Yes, please note that the CUISINART FASTFREEZE ICE-FD10 is not a blender. Do not use ice cubes or a solid block of ice in the dessert cups. Do not use hard, loose ingredients. Frozen fruits must be crushed to release juices and then combined with other ingredients.
