4. Operating Instructions

Processing Your Treat:

Understanding Programs:
- Ice Cream, Sorbet, Lite Ice Cream, Gelato, Frozen Yogurt: For creamy, scoopable frozen desserts.
- Milkshake, Frappe, Frozen Drink, Slushi: For drinkable frozen treats.
- Mix-in: Use this program after an initial process to evenly distribute added ingredients like chocolate chips, nuts, or candy into your frozen treat.

Adding mix-ins to customize your frozen treats.
Re-Spin Function:
If your processed treat is crumbly or powdery, use the RE-SPIN function. This will re-process the mixture to achieve a smoother, creamier consistency. This is common for very cold or low-fat bases.
Two Flavors in One:
To create two distinct flavors in a single pint:
- Prepare your base and freeze it as usual.
- Process the entire pint using your desired program.
- Scoop out half of the processed treat from the pint.
- Add your desired mix-ins or flavorings to the remaining half in the pint.
- Select the 'TOP' or 'BOTTOM' setting on the control panel, depending on where you added the new flavor, and run the MIX-IN program. This will only process that specific section of the pint.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Ninja CREAMi Deluxe, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Treat is crumbly or powdery. | Base is too cold or has low fat/sugar content. | Use the RE-SPIN program. If still crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoons of liquid (milk, water) and RE-SPIN again. |
| Treat is too soft or liquidy. | Base was not frozen solid enough or melted slightly. | Ensure pint is frozen for a full 24 hours at -18°C (0°F). Return to freezer for a short period if needed. |
| Machine does not start. | Unit not properly assembled or plugged in. | Ensure the outer bowl is locked onto the motor base and the lid is locked onto the outer bowl. Check power connection. |
