FREEZING TIPS

  • NINJA-NC701C-Series-Soft-Serve-and-Ice-Cream-Machine-Ice-Cream-Makers-fig-5For best results, set your freezer between 9°F (-13°C) and -7°F (-22°C). The CREAMi® Swirl is designed to process bases within this range. If your freezer is within this range, your pint should reach the appropriate temperature.
  • NINJA-NC701C-Series-Soft-Serve-and-Ice-Cream-Machine-Ice-Cream-Makers-fig-6DO NOT freeze the Swirl Pint at an angle. Place the Swirl Pint on a level surface in the freezer.
  • NINJA-NC701C-Series-Soft-Serve-and-Ice-Cream-Machine-Ice-Cream-Makers-fig-7Upright freezers work best. A chest freezer is not recommended, as they tend to reach extremely cold temperatures.
  • NINJA-NC701C-Series-Soft-Serve-and-Ice-Cream-Machine-Ice-Cream-Makers-fig-8Freeze 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.
  • NINJA-NC701C-Series-Soft-Serve-and-Ice-Cream-Machine-Ice-Cream-Makers-fig-9Make the most of your time by prepping several Swirl Pints at once. Keep these Swirl Pints in your freezer to Creamify™ on demand whenever a craving strikes.
    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 Swirl Pint and skip to step 11a.

This is NOT a blender.

  • DO NOT process a solid block of ice or ice cubes.
  • DO NOT make a smoothie or process hard, loose ingredients.
  • Fruit must be crushed to release its juice or combined with other ingredients and frozen before processing.

USING THE CREAMi SWIRL

IMPORTANT: Review all warnings before proceeding.

  1. Add ingredients to the CREAMi Swirl Pint. DO NOT add ingredients past the MAX FILL line. For recipe inspiration, choose from hundreds of recipes at ninjakitchen.ca.
    NINJA-NC701C-Series-Soft-Serve-and-Ice-Cream-Machine-Ice-Cream-Makers-fig-10
  2. If the recipe requires the ingredients to be frozen, snap the lid on the Swirl Pint and freeze for at least 24 hours.
    NINJA-NC701C-Series-Soft-Serve-and-Ice-Cream-Machine-Ice-Cream-Makers-fig-11
    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.
  3. Plug in the unit and place on a clean, dry, level surface such as a countertop or table.

  11. 11a FOR SCOOP RECIPES ONLY If adding mix-ins, use a spoon to create a 1 1/2-inch (4 cm) wide hole that reaches the bottom of the processed portion of the Swirl Pint. Add chopped or broken mix-ins to the hole in the Swirl Pint and repeat steps 6–10 to process again using the same processing zone and the MIX-IN program.
    NINJA-NC701C-Series-Soft-Serve-and-Ice-Cream-Machine-Ice-Cream-Makers-fig-19
    MIX-IN TIPS
    • Add 1/4 cup (40 g) of crushed candies, frozen fruits, chopped nuts, chocolate pieces, and more.
    • When adding several different types of mix-ins, do not exceed 1/4 cup (40 g) in total. Adjust the quantity of mix-ins to taste, ensuring the outer bowl lid can still comfortably close over the Swirl Pint. Hard mix-ins will remain intact.
    • Mix-ins like chocolate, candy, and nuts will not be broken down during the MIX-IN program. Use mini chocolate chips and candies or pre-chopped ingredients.
    • Soft mix-ins will get broken down. Mix-ins like cereal, cookies, and frozen fruit will end up smaller after the MIX-IN program. Use bigger pieces of soft ingredients.
    • For ice cream and gelato, fresh fruit, sauces, and spreads are NOT recommended as mix-ins. Adding fresh fruit, fudge, and caramel sauces will water down your treat. Chocolate hazelnut spread and nut butters also do not mix well. Frozen fruit or
    • chocolate/caramel shell toppings are recommended.
      11b If not adding mix-ins, RE-SPIN can be used on a crumbly or powdery Swirl Pint to make it more creamy. RE-SPIN is often needed for very cold bases.
      If the treat is smooth and scoopable, go to step 12. If the base is crumbly or powdery, repeat steps 6–10 to process again using the RE-SPIN program
      NINJA-NC701C-Series-Soft-Serve-and-Ice-Cream-Machine-Ice-Cream-Makers-fig-20
      NOTE: Do not RE-SPIN before using the MIX-IN program.
  12. Lift the Swirl Pint out of the outer bowl and enjoy OR continue on to prep for dispense.
    NINJA-NC701C-Series-Soft-Serve-and-Ice-Cream-Machine-Ice-Cream-Makers-fig-21
  13. Locate the WHITE dispense lid. Place and twist the dispense lid onto the pint.
    NINJA-NC701C-Series-Soft-Serve-and-Ice-Cream-Machine-Ice-Cream-Makers-fig-22
  14. Install pint by aligning the blue pint tab with the blue tab on the dispense area on the left of the unit. Twist until you hear a click.

If it’s soft, just scoop and enjoy it.
    NINJA-NC701C-Series-Soft-Serve-and-Ice-Cream-Machine-Ice-Cream-Makers-fig-30
    NOTE: If your treat contains mix-ins, processing again will further crush your mix-ins and create a new flavour.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

WARNING To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn power off and unplug unit before troubleshooting.

  • Unit moves on counter while processing.
    Make sure the countertop and the feet of the unit are clean and dry.
  • Frozen treat is liquid, not solid, after processing.
    • If a base is soft after processing, put the CREAMi® Swirl Pint back in the freezer for several hours or until desired consistency is reached.
    • For best results, freeze base for at least 24 hours and process immediately after removing from the freezer. If the processed base is still not firm, try setting your freezer to a colder temperature. The unit is designed to process bases between 9°F and -7°F.
    • The proportion of fat or sugar may be too high in your recipe. Consult the inspiration guide and use the included recipes as a guide for best results.
  • Frozen treat looks crumbly or powdery after processing.
    • When bases are frozen in very cold freezers, they may come out crumbly. After running a One-Touch Program, use the RE-SPIN program to make your frozen treat smoother and creamier.
    • The proportion of fat or sugar may be too low in your recipe. Consult the inspiration guide and use the included recipes as a guide for best results.
  • One-Touch Programs will not illuminate.
    • Ensure the unit is plugged into a working outlet before installing the outer bowl. Then press the power button to select a program.
    • Make sure the unit is fully assembled for use. If the unit is powered on and the outer bowl is not installed correctly, the install light will flash. If the paddle is not installed correctly, the install light will illuminate. All One-Touch Programs will be available, when the unit is fully assembled and a processing mode has been selected.
    • The unit does not allow you to run programs back to back. Between programs, lower the bowl and check the results before raising the bowl and running another program.
  • Install light is flashing.
    • For processing: The outer bowl is not installed or is not installed correctly. Re-install the paddle into the outer bowl lid and the lid onto the outer bowl, then re-install the outer bowl onto the motor base until it clicks into place.
    • For dispensing: The nozzle is not open, or the nozzle tab is not fully in contact with the unit. Be sure to open the nozzle and that it is in contact with the unit. Once that occurs, the READY light will come on and remain solid.
  • Install light is steadily illuminated.
    The outer bowl is correctly installed, but the paddle is missing or has been incorrectly installed. Lower the platform by pressing and holding the bowl release button on the left of the motor base while twisting the outer bowl handle toward the centre. Be sure the paddle is installed in the lid.
  • The display shows E1 or E2 and the program lights are flashing.
    • The motor has overloaded and needs to be reset. Unplug the unit, remove the bowl, and allow the motor base to cool for approximately 15 minutes before running again.
    • Remove the outer bowl lid and paddle. Ensure no ingredients are jamming the lid assembly.
    • The ingredients you are trying to process might be too dense. Make sure you are using ingredients with sugar or fat. Follow the recipes in the inspiration guide for best results.
    • Your freezer might be very cold. The unit is designed to process bases between 9°F (-13°C) and -7°F (-22°C). Change the setting of your freezer, move the Swirl Pint to the front of your freezer, or leave the Swirl Pint out on the counter for a few minutes before processing.
    • DO NOT process a solid block of ice, ice cubes, or hard, loose ingredients.
  • The display shows E3 and the program lights are flashing.
    There was an error and the program did not successfully complete. First, unplug the unit. Check that the paddle is installed properly, then plug the unit back in and try running the program again.
  • Swirl Pint froze at an angle in the freezer.
    • For best results, do not process a Swirl Pint that has been frozen at an angle or scooped out
      of and then refrozen unevenly.
    • Always smooth-out the surface of your ice cream before re-freezing. If the Swirl Pint is frozen unevenly, put the Swirl 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 Swirl Pint on a level surface in your freezer.
  • Outer bowl will not release from motor base after processing.
    • Wait approximately 2 minutes, then try to remove the outer bowl again. Hold the release button on the left side of the motor base and twist bowl handle clockwise to remove. This may take some force.
    • To prevent the outer bowl from getting stuck on the motor base, make sure the cavity on top of the paddle is fully dry before processing. Also, when processing different bases consecutively, make sure to rinse and dry the paddle after processing each base.
    • With some recipes, water may freeze between the paddle and motor base causing them to stick together; drying the paddle between runs will prevent this.
  • Inside of CREAMi® Swirl Pint is scratched.
    Light scratching of the Swirl Pint is normal after regular use. To keep the Swirl Pint from scratching, prep ingredients in a separate bowl and avoid aggressive use of metal utensils in the Swirl Pint. Clean with soft, non-abrasive cloths.
  • The display shows a flashing “E” and the Swirl Press has retracted.
    • Check your pint base and ensure the pint base is open for ice cream to travel through. If the base is not open, you will have to unlock and reinstall your pint into the dispense area then open the pint base to continue dispensing.
    • If your pint base was open and you previously dispensed from this pint and refroze the pint, there may be unprocessed ice cream in the nozzle cavity. Remove the pint from the dispense area and make sure there is no frozen output in the nozzle cavity. If you see frozen ice cream, run the area under warm water and remove the frozen ice cream with the back of a spoon or fork. Then reinstall the pint for dispensing and try again
    • If you pint base was open, remove the pint base from the dispense area. If you used mix-ins, the nozzle is most likely clogged. To prevent damage to the machine, it is recommended rinse the nozzle area and scoop the output from your pint into your desired container. Mix-ins are not recommended for dispensing.
    • If you did not use mix-ins and the pint base was open, your ice cream may be too dense for dispensing and will need be processed again on RE-SPIN. Remove the dispense lid and nozzle and follow steps 6–11 until the output no longer looks crumbly or powdery. Then you can repeat steps 12–17 for dispensing.
    • If after respinning your output will still not dispense, your output is too dense for dispensing and will need to be enjoyed by scooping from the pint.
