INTRODUCTION

Get ready to enjoy professional-quality soft

ice cream, yoghurt, sorbet and sherbet right

at home, with your new Cuisinart®Mix It In

Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker. Not only can

you make all of your favourites, but with three

built-in condiment dispensers, you can make

them extra delicious! With the pull of a tab,

sprinkles, chips and other toppings mix right

into your frozen dessert as you fill up cones

or bowls. Operation is fully automatic, so just

pick a recipe from the ones we’ve included, put

the ingredients in the bowl, and turn the dial!

BEFORE USING

FOR THE FIRST TIME

DO NOT immerse this product in water. Wipe

it with a moist cloth. Wash the lid, freezer

bowl, mixing arm, condiment containers,

condiment chute and drip tray in warm soapy

water to remove any dust or residue from the

manufacturing and shipping process. DO

NOT clean any of the parts with abrasive

cleaners or hard implements. DO NOT

immerse unit in water or put unit under

running water. Clean with a damp cloth only.

FREEZING TIME AND

BOWL PREPARATION

The freezer bowl must be completely frozen

before you begin your recipe. Before freezing,

wash and dry the bowl. Wrap it in a plastic

bag to prevent freezer burn. We recommend

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. The

length of time needed to reach the frozen

state depends on how cold your freezer is.

For the most convenient frozen desserts,

leave your freezer bowl in the freezer

at all times. You can take it out any time for

immediate use. In general, freezing time

should be a minimum of 12 hours. To

determine whether the bowl is completely

frozen, shake it. If you do not hear liquid

moving, the cooling liquid is frozen.

Reminder: Your freezer should be set to

-18°C to ensure proper freezing of all foods.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

1. Easy-lock Lid with Window – Lid is

designed to remove and lock easily. An

ingredient window allows you to pour

ingredients directly through the top and

watch the freezing process.

2. Mixing Arm (not shown) – Mixes and

aerates ingredients in freezer bowl to

create smooth soft ice cream.

3. 1

⁄2

-Litre Freezer Bowl (not shown) –

Contains cooling liquid within a

double-insulated wall to create fast and

even freezing. Double wall keeps the

bowl cool and at an even temperature.

4. Three Condiment Containers –

Dispense the mix-ins of your choice.

The front condiment container with a

curved edge dispenses small mix-ins

such as sprinkles. Two rectangular

condiment containers dispense larger

mix-ins such as mini M&M®s or

mini chocolate morsels.

5. Condiment Dispensing Levers –

Pull out one of three levers to add the

mix-ins of your choice into your

soft ice cream.

6. Condiment Chute – Mix-ins are

dispensed from the chute into your ice

cream cone or bowl while you dispense

ice cream. Removable for easy cleaning.

7. Dispensing Bracket with Handle –

Dispenses the soft ice cream when

handle is pulled down. Removable for

easy cleaning.

8. Base – Contains heavy-duty motor

strong enough to make and dispense

ice cream.

9. ON/OFF Power Dial

10. Cone Holder – Conveniently holds a

stack of extra ice cream cones. Can hold

both flat and pointed-bottom cones.

11. Removable Drip Tray – Can be removed

for easy cleaning. Dot in centre of tray

indicates where to place the ice cream

cone.

12. Mix-in Gauge – Check the size of mix-ins

by dropping them through. Mix-ins that

do not fit through will clog the ice cream

maker.

13. Rubber Feet – Nonslip feet keep base

stationary during use.

ASSEMBLY

1. Insert the condiment containers into the

indent on the top side of the ICE-45A

so that they are firmly in place.

The condiment container with the

rounded edge should be inserted into

the front space.

2. Place the small narrow cover over the

condiment containers.

3. Attach the dispenser with handle by

inserting the tab into the slot under the

dispensing area, then push the dispenser

upwards until it locks into place. (Make

sure the handle is in the upright position.)

4. Slide the condiment chute into the

space provided under the condiment

containers. Be sure to slide it all the way

in until it stops.

5. Place the drip tray on the base under

the dispenser.

6. Push the mixing arm into the hole on the

bottom of the lid.

7. Insert the freezer bowl. Make sure that it

is securely in place.

8. Put the lid with mixing arm attached over

the freezer bowl and push down until it

clicks securely in place. To remove lid,

push in and lift the two side tabs.

MAKING SOFT SERVE

ICE CREAM AND

FROZEN DESSERTS

1. Fill the condiment containers with the

desired mix-ins. Place small mix-ins

such as sprinkles in the front condiment

container with the curved edge. Place

large mix-ins such as mini M&M®s or

mini chocolate morsels in the rectangular

condiment containers.

NOTE: Do not place liquid condiments

in the condiment containers.

2. Use Cuisinart’s recipes from the pages

that follow. Do not fill the freezer bowl

higher than 1.5cm from the top, as the

ingredients will increase in volume during

the freezing process. For best results,

prepare ingredients in a container from

which it is easy to pour.

3. 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 it immediately after removing from

freezer.

4. Push the mixing arm into the hole on the

bottom of the lid.

5. Place lid with mixing arm on base and

push down until it locks in place.

26070 ICE-45A Ice Cream Maker IB.indd 526070 ICE-45A Ice Cream Maker IB.indd 5 3/3/08 4:03:12 PM3/3/08 4:03:12 PM

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 well-

stocked 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 centre of the face of the dispenser

down and pulling it down and out

towards you.
