6. Turn the power dial to the ON position. Mixing arm will begin to turn. 7. Add ingredients to the freezer bowl by pouring them through the opening in the lid. 8. Soft ice cream will be finished in as little as 20 minutes. The time will depend on the recipe and volume of the dessert you are making. If ingredients are refrigerated, ice cream making time will be reduced. NOTE: You must watch the ice cream to determine when to dispense. If you wait too long, ice cream may get too thick to dispense. If this happens, remove the bowl, scoop out and enjoy the ice cream. 9. Hold an ice cream cone or bowl one inch below the ice cream chute and pull down the handle to dispense the soft ice cream. Turn cup or bowl as you dispense to swirl ice cream. 10. Pull out one, two or all three condiment dispensing levers to add the mix-ins of your choice into your soft ice cream or dessert. To stop the flow of mix-ins, push in the dispensing levers. 11. When finished filling the cone or bowl, push the handle back up to stop the flow of ice cream. NOTES: Some liquid may initially come out of the dispensing bracket when the handle is first pulled down. Use a cup to collect this liquid, then proceed with filling the first bowl or cone. 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 an airtight container. The ice cream will lose its soft consistency and harden after it is stored in the freezer. RECOMMENDED MIX-INS These items can be found in most wellstocked grocery stores and specialty grocery/gourmet food stores. The location of the items will depend upon the individual store (for example, some items will be found near the ice cream and ice cream cones while others may be found in the baking section). Mini M&M®s* Mini chocolate morsels* Confetti sprinkles Chocolate sprinkles Caramel sprinkles Praline crunch Critter crunch or other decorative crunch bits Almond brickle bits/chips *NOTE: Do not use full sized M&M®s or chocolate morsels, they are too large to dispense. Use the mix-in gauge to make sure mix-ins are not too large. If they do not fit through the hole in the gauge, then they will clog the unit. SAFETY FEATURE The Cuisinart® Mix It In™ Soft Serve Ice Cream 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 or if the unit has been running for an excessively long period of time, or if added condiments are too large. If ice cream is too thick to dispense, remove the bowl and eat the ice cream. DISASSEMBLING FOR CLEANING 1. Remove the lid and disconnect the mixing paddle. 2. Lift the freezer bowl up and out of the base. 3. Remove the condiment chute by pulling it toward you. 4. Remove the dispensing bracket with handle by pushing the button located on the center of the face of the dispenser down and pulling it down and out towards you. 6
