INTRODUCTION

Get ready to enjoy dreamy-creamy Soft Serve ice-cream and frozen yoghurt right

at home, with your new Cuisinart®The Soft Serve Ice-cream Maker. Not only can you make

all of your favourite flavours, but with the ‘mix-ins’ topping dispenser you can top or mix in

favourites such as sprinkles, crushed nuts and cookies to put a smile on everyones face.

Operation is easy , so just pick a recipe from the ones we’ve included, put the ingredients

in the pre-frozen ice-cream bowl, and start churning.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

DO NOT IMMERSE the product housing in water or place under running water. Wipe it

with a moist cloth. Wash the lid, ice-cream bowl, mixing paddle, condiment containers,

condiment chute and drip tray in warm soapy water to remove any dust or residue from the

manufacturing and shipping process.

FREEZING TIME AND BOWL PREPARATION

For consistent results the ice cream 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 ice-cream bowl in the back of your freezer where

it is coldest. Be sure to place the ice-cream bowl on a flat surface in its upright posi-

tion for even freezing. In general, freezing time should be a minimum of 24 hours. The

length of time needed to reach the frozen state depends on how cold your freezer is. To

determine whether the bowl is completely frozen, shake it. If you do not hear liquid mov-

ing, the cooling liquid is frozen.

For the most convenient frozen desserts, leave your ice-cream bowl in the freezer at all

times.

Reminder: Your freezer should be set to -18°C to ensure proper freezing of all foods. If

your ice-cream bowl is not freezing well turn your freezer temperature to a lower setting.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

1. Easy-lock Lid with Window – The lid is designed to remove and lock easily. An

ingredient window allows you to pour ingredients directly through the top and

bowl to create smooth soft ice-cream.

3. 1.5 Litre Ice-Cream Bowl – Contains cooling liquid within a double-insulated wall

even temperature.

4. Three Condiment Containers – Dispense the mix-ins of your choice.

5. Condiment Dispensing dials – Turn one of three dials to add the mix-ins of your

choice after dispensing the soft serve ice-cream.

6. Condiment Chute – Toppings are dispensed directly from the chute onto your

ice-cream cone or into your cup. The chute is removable for easy cleaning.

7. Dispensing Bracket with Handle – Dispenses the soft serve ice-cream when

handle is pulled down. Removable for easy cleaning.

8. ON/OFF Power Dial

9. Cone Holder – Conveniently holds a stack of extra ice-cream cones. Can hold

both flat and pointed-bottom cones.

MAKING SOFT SERVE ICE-CREAM AND FROZEN

YOGHURT

1. Freeze the ice-cream bowl - Place the bowl in the freezer for a minimum of 24 hours at

-18°C beforehand.

2. Fill the condiment containers with the desired mix-ins.

NOTE: Do not place liquid condiments in the condiment containers.

3. Prepare your ice-cream recipe. We recommend using the Vanilla Soft Serve recipe in this

book to start with. Do not fill the ice-cream bowl higher than 1.5cm from the top, as the

ingredients will increase in volume during the freezing process. For best results, use pre-

chilled ingredients and prepare ingredients in a container from which it is easy to pour.

4. Remove the ice-cream bowl from the freezer. Detach the lid and place ice-cream 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.

5. Push the mixing paddle into the hole on the bottom of the lid until it clicks into place.

6. Place lid with mixing paddle on base and push down until it locks in place.

7. Turn the power dial to the ON position. Mixing paddle will begin to turn.

8. Add the ice-cream mixture to the ice-cream bowl by pouring through the opening in the

lid.

NOTE: Before pouring the mixture to the ice-cream bowl , please make sure the

dispensing bracket is locked in place and the handle is in the upright position.

9. Using pre-chilled ingredients, ice-cream will be finished in approximately 15-20 minutes.

The time will depend on the recipe and volume of the dessert you are making.

NOTE : Set a timer for 15 minutes and check the consistency to determine when to

dispense. Always keep the mixing paddle churning when dispensing ice-cream.

10. To dispense soft serve ice-cream or frozen yoghurt:

When the soft serve is ready allow the paddle to continue churning while dispensing.

Hold an ice cream cone or bowl a few centimetres below the ice cream chute and pull

down the handle to start dispensing the soft serve. Turn the cone or bowl as you

dispense to swirl the ice-cream. When finished filling the cone or bowl, push the handle

back up to stop the flow of ice-cream.

NOTES: To test the ice-cream consistency, pull down the handle and dispense a small

amount of soft ice-cream into a bowl. If the consistency is too runny, pour back the ice-

cream mixture into the freezer bowl. Repeat every few minutes if needed until desired

soft ice-cream texture is achieved (it should flow slowly and steadily through the chute

and have a creamy consistency. If you wait too long, the consistency will be too thick and

won’t be able to be dispensed through the chute. In this case, just scoop out the soft

ice-cream from the ice-cream bowl and serve straight away.).

11. Turn the condiment dispenser dials to add the mix-ins of your choice.

Serve quickly once the ice-cream has reached desired consistency, making sure the

machine is on and churning while dispensing the soft serve.

IMPORTANT: Do not switch off The Soft Serve once churning, as the mixture will freeze

and it may not be possible to resume the process.

Do not store frozen desserts in the ice-cream bowl. Desserts will stick to

the side of the ice-cream 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.

MAKING SLUSHIES

The Soft Serve can also be used to make your favourite slushies with these simple steps.

1. Pre-freeze the ice-cream bowl by placing the bowl in the freezer for a minimum of 24

hours at -18°C before hand.

2. Remove the ice-cream bowl from the freezer.

3. Detach the lid and place ice-cream 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 paddle into the hole on the bottom of the lid until it clicks into place.

5. Place lid with mixing paddle on base and push down until it locks in place.

6. Turn the power dial to the ON position. Mixing paddle will begin to turn.

7. Pour up to 660ml of your favourite soft drink into the bowl through the opening in the

lid. The soft drink should be cold and straight from the fridge.

NOTE: Before pouring soft drink into the ice-cream bowl, please make sure the

dispensing bracket is locked in place and the handle is in the upright position.

8. In 6-8 minutes your slushie will be ready to serve. The time will depend on the volume of

soft drink and the temperature when added to the bowl.

NOTE: For best results, we recommend you check on soft drink as it freezes and monitor

for the correct slushie consistency.

Always allow the machine to keep churning while dispensing slushies.
