USING THE CREAMi®
IMPORTANT: Review all warnings on
pages 4–5 before proceeding.
1 Add ingredients to the CREAMi Pint. DO
NOT add ingredients past the MAX FILL
line on the pint. To find ingredients, you
can choose from hundreds of recipes at
ninjacreami.com.
NOTE: The unit must be plugged in
before assembly. The unit will not run if
the outer bowl is installed before the unit
is plugged in.
NOTE: If the install light is illuminated,
the unit is not fully assembled for use. If
the light is blinking, make sure the bowl
is properly installed. If the light is solid,
check that the paddle is installed. Make
sure to plug the unit in before installing
the bowl.
2 If the recipe requires the ingredients to
be frozen, snap the lid on the pint and
freeze for at least 24 hours.
3 Plug in the unit and place on a clean,
dry, level surface such as a countertop
or table.
4 When the base is prepped or frozen,
remove the pint lid and place the pint in the
outer bowl.
6 Position the tab of the lid just slightly to
the right of the outer bowl handle so the
lines on the lid and handle align. Rotate
the lid clockwise to lock.
7 Make sure the unit is plugged in. Then,
place the outer bowl onto the motor
base with the handle centered below the
control panel. Twist the handle to the
right to raise the platform and lock the
bowl in place. You will hear a click when
the bowl is fully installed.
8 Press the power button to turn on the
unit. If the outer bowl is properly installed,
the One-Touch Programs will illuminate
and the unit will be ready for use. Select
the program that best suits your recipe.
The program will automatically stop when
complete.
FREEZING TIPS
For best results, set your freezer
between 9°F and -7°F. The CREAMi
is designed to process bases within
this range. If your freezer is within
this range, your pint should reach
the appropriate temperature.
For best results, do not freeze the
pint at angle. Place the pint on a
level surface in the freezer.
Upright freezers work best. We
do not recommend using a chest
freezer, as they tend to reach
extremely cold temperatures.
Freeze the base for at least
24 hours. While it may be frozen,
the base needs to reach an even
colder temperature before it can
be processed.
Make the most of your time by
prepping several CREAMi pints
at once. Keep these pints in your
freezer to Creamify™ on demand
whenever the craving strikes.
5 Press and hold the paddle latch on the
top of the outer bowl lid, then insert the
Creamerizer™ Paddle in the bottom of
the lid. Release the latch to secure the
paddle. When fully installed, the latch
will be centered and the paddle will be
slightly loose.
Don't want to wait 24 hours? Customize
store-bought ice cream with mix-ins or
make a milkshake. To customize store-
bought ice cream, scoop the ice cream
into a pint and skip to step 11a.
NOTE: For best results, do not
process the pint if ingredients
have been frozen at an angle or
if the pint has been scooped out
of and then refrozen unevenly.
Always smooth-out the surface of a
processed treat before re-freezing in
the pint. If the pint is frozen unevenly,
put the pint in the fridge to allow the
ingredients to melt. Then whisk to make
sure the ingredients are combined.
Refreeze, making sure to place the pint
on a level surface in the freezer.
