Adding Ingredients, Safety Feature | Cuisinart ICE-40BKC guide

Wrap it in a plastic bag to prevent freezer burn. We recommend that you place the freezer bowls in the back of your freezer where it is coldest.

Reminder: Your freezer should be set to 0°F (-18°C) to ensure proper freezing of all foods.

MAKING FROZEN DESSERTS OR DRINKS

1.Prepare recipe ingredients from pages that follow or from your own recipe. Cuisinart recipes begin on page 4. If you use your own recipe, be sure it yields 1 quart (1 L) or less. For best results, prepare ingredients in a container that is easy to pour from.

2.Remove the freezer bowl(s) from the freezer. (Remove plastic bag if you have wrapped freezer bowls.) Place freezer bowls on the centre 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(s) in freezer bowl(s). Arm does not fit tightly. It just rests in the centre of the bowl, with the circle side facing up.

4.Place lid(s) on base. Easy-lock lid mechanism allows lid to rest on base in one position. Set lid(s) slightly off centre and turn clockwise to lock in place.

5.Choose the one or two bowl switch position.

If you choose one bowl only, use the right side of the unit. Always select this prior to turning on the unit.

6.Press On/Off switch. Freezer bowls will begin to turn. If you chose to make only one batch, just the right bowl will begin to turn.

7.Immediately pour ingredients through ingredient spout(s).

8.Frozen desserts or drinks will be done in 20-30 minutes. The time will depend on the recipe, and the volume of the dessert or drink you are making. When the mixture has thickened to your liking, it is done. If you

desire a firmer consistency, transfer the dessert or drink to an airtight container and store in the freezer for two or more hours.

NOTE: Do not store frozen desserts or drinks in the freezer bowl. Desserts and drinks will stick to the side of the freezer bowl and may damage the bowl. Store only in a plastic airtight container.

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® Flavor Duo™ is equipped with a safety feature that automati- cally 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, put the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. Let the unit cool off. After a few minutes, you may turn the unit on again and contin- ue making the dessert or drink.
