FREEZING TIME AND
BOWL PREPARATION
The freezer bowl must be completely frozen before
you begin your recipe. Before freezing, hand wash
and dry the bowl. The length of time needed to reach
the frozen state depends on how cold your freezer is.
It is recommended that you place the freezer bowl in
the back of your freezer where it is coldest. Be sure
to place the freezer bowl on a flat surface in its
upright position for even freezing.
Generally, freezing time is between 16 and 24 hours.
Shake the bowl to determine whether it is completely
frozen. If you do not hear the liquid within the bowl
moving, the cooling liquid is therefore frozen. For the
most convenient frozen desserts and drinks, leave
your freezer bowl in the freezer at all times. Use the
bowl immediately after removing from the freezer. It
will begin to quickly defrost once it has been removed
from the freezer.
Reminder:
Your freezer should be set to 0°F to
ensure proper freezing of all foods.
MAKING FROZEN DESSERTS
1. Prepare recipe ingredients from pages that follow
or from your own recipe. If you use your own
recipe, be sure it yields 1½ quarts or less.
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 paddle in freezer bowl. It just rests
in the center of the bowl, with the circle side
facing up.
4. Place lid on base and rotate clockwise until tabs
on lid lock in place on base.
5. Press On/Off switch to ON position. Freezer bowl
will begin to turn.
6. Immediately pour ingredients through ingredients
spout.
NOTE: Ingredients must be added to the
freezer bowl after unit is turned on.
7. Frozen desserts will be done in less than 20
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 airtight container and store in the
freezer for two or more hours.
NOTE:
Do not store frozen desserts in the freezer
bowl. Desserts will stick to the sides of the
freezer bowl and may damage the bowl. Store
only in a freezer-safe, airtight container.
ADDING INGREDIENTS
Ingredients such as chips, candies 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 ingredients spout.
Nuts and other ingredients should be no larger than a
chocolate chip (½-inch in diameter).
SAFETY FEATURE
The Cuisinart
®
Automatic Frozen Yogurt–Ice Cream &
Sorbet Maker is equipped with a safety feature that
automatically stops the unit if the motor 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. To reset the unit, put the On/
Off switch in the OFF position and unplug the unit.
Let the unit cool off. After a few minutes, you may
turn the unit on again and continue making the
dessert.
