FREEZING TIME AND BOWL PREPARATION

The freezer bowls must be completely frozen before you begin your recipe.
The length of time needed to reach the frozen state depends on how cold
your freezer is. For the most convenient frozen desserts and drinks, leave your
freezer bowls in the freezer at all times. You can take them out any time for
immediate use. In general, freezing time is about 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.
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 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 5. If you use your own recipe, be
sure it yields 1 quart 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 center of the base.
NOTE: Bowls will begin to defrost quickly once they have been removed
from freezer. Use them immediately after removing from freezer.
3. Place mixing arm(s) in freezer bowl(s). Arm does not fit tightly. It just
rests in the center of the bowl, with the circle side facing up.
4. Place lid(s) on base. Easy-lock lid mechanism allows lids to rest on
base in one position. Set lid(s) slightly off center 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, only 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 to 30 minutes. The time will
depend on the recipe, and the volume of the dessert or drink you are mak-
ing. 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 automatically
®
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 continue making the
dessert or drink.
