ASSEMBLY 1. Insert the topping containers into the indent on the top left side of the Cuisinart® Mix It In™ Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker so that they are firmly in place. The topping containers with the rounded edge should be inserted into the front and rear spaces. 2. Place the cover over each of the topping containers. 3. Attach the dispensing handle assembly by inserting the round opening under the top part of the unit, aligning the handle with "LOCK" on the side of the unit, then rotating the assembly clockwise until it locks into place (the Dispensing Handle should be in the center of the front of the unit). 4. Slide the topping chute into the space provided under the topping containers. Be sure to slide it all the way in until it snaps in place (the Dispensing Handle must be in the upright position). 5. Place the drip tray on the base under the dispensing handle. 6. Place the keep warm cup on the warming plate, if heating up toppings. MAKING SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM AND FROZEN DESSERTS 1. Fill the topping containers with the desired mix-ins using the mix-in gauge. 2. Do not place liquid toppings in toppings containers. Liquid toppings should be placed in keep warm cup over the heater. Do not exceed 4 oz. of liquid toppings in keep warm cup. NOTE: keep warm cup should only be used to keep liquid toppings warm. 3. Use Cuisinart's recipes from the pages that follow. Do not fill the freezer bowl higher than ½ inch from the top, as the frozen dessert base will increase in volume during the freezing process. For best results, prepare frozen dessert base in a container from which it is easy to pour. 4. Push the upper part of the mixing paddle into the hole on the bottom of the lid. 5. Remove the freezer bowl from the freezer. (Remove plastic bag if you have wrapped freezer bowl.) Lift the lid and place freezer bowl inside the base. NOTE: Bowl will begin to defrost quickly once it has been removed from freezer. Use immediately after removing from freezer. 6. Place lid with mixing paddle on base and push down until it locks into place. 7. Turn the power control knob to "Ice Cream," if only preparing ice cream. Turn the dial to "Ice Cream + Warm," if preparing ice cream and warming a liquid topping. Mixing paddle will begin to turn and the warming heater will start if selected. 8. Add frozen dessert base to the freezer bowl by pouring through the opening in the lid. 9. Soft ice cream will be finished in as little as 30 minutes. The time will depend on the recipe and volume of the dessert you are making. Frozen dessert base should be refrigerated to reduce mixing time. NOTE: Ensure optimal soft serve consistency by checking ice cream at least 5 minutes before specified finish time. If it does become too hard to dispense, simply remove the freezer bowl, scoop, serve, and enjoy! 10. Hold an ice cream cone or bowl 1 inch below the ice cream chute and pull down the handle to dispense the ice cream. Turn cone or bowl as you dispense to swirl ice cream. 11. Turn desired knob(s) to add toppings of your choice to soft serve ice cream or dessert. 12. 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 handle assembly when first pulled down. Use a cup to collect this liquid, pour liquid back into bowl, 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 5
