IMPORTANT: Review all warnings on first page before proceeding.
DID YOU KNOW?
· You can use the outer bowl to carry the CREAMi Tub after removing it from
the freezer.
NOTE: All attachments are BPA-free and dishwasher safe (top rack only).
Ensure the paddle, tub, outer bowl, and lids are all separated before placing
in the dishwasher.
- Remove all packaging materials from the unit.
- Wash containers, lids, and paddle in warm, soapy water. Use a dishwashing utensil with a handle to clean the paddle.
- Thoroughly rinse and air-dry all parts.
- Wipe the control panel with a soft cloth.
USING THE CONTROL PANEL
**Use the Power button to turn the unit on or off.
INSTALL LIGHT
The install light will illuminate when 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.
PROGRESS BAR
The progress bar indicates the progress of the One-Touch Program. All 4
progress bar LEDs will flash twice and then turn off when the program is
complete.
ONE-TOUCH PROGRAMS: 12 1/2 MINUTES
Each One-Touch Program is intelligently designed to whip up delicious
creations in 12 1/2 minutes. Programs vary in length and speed depending on
the optimal settings to get perfectly creamy results for that type of recipe.
ICE CREAM
Designed for traditionally indulgent recipes. Great for turning dairy and
dairy-alternative recipes into thick, creamy, and scoopable ice creams.
LITE ICE CREAM
Designed for health-conscious consumers to make ice creams that are low in
sugar or fat or use sugar substitutes. Choose when processing keto or paleo
recipes.
GELATO (not available on all models)
Designed for custard bases for Italian-style ice cream. Choose GELATO when
specified to create delicious, decadent desserts.
SORBET
Designed to transform fruit-based recipes with high water and sugar content
into creamy delights.
SMOOTHIE BOWL (not available on all models)
Designed for recipes that are made from fruit and/or vegetables frozen
together with dairy, dairy alternatives, or juice.
MILKSHAKE
Designed to create quick and thick milkshakes. Simply combine your favorite
ice cream (store-bought or homemade), milk, and mix-ins, and select
MILKSHAKE.
MIX-IN
Designed to fold in pieces of candies, cookies, nuts, cereal, or frozen fruit
to customize a just-processed base or store-bought treat.
NOTE: Mix-ins work best if they are added in the middle of the CREAMi
Tub. After processing the tub, use a spoon to create a 4 cm wide hole that
reaches the bottom of the tub. Add chopped or broken mix-ins to the hole in
the tub and process again using the MIX-IN program.
RE-SPIN
Designed to ensure a smooth texture after running one of the preset programs.
RE-SPIN is often needed when the base is very cold (below -25°C) and the
texture is crumbly rather than creamy.
NOTE: Do not RE-SPIN before using the MIX-IN program.
NOTE:** To stop an active program, simply press the program button that is
illuminated.
USING THE CREAMi
IMPORTANT: Review all warnings on first page before proceeding.
Add ingredients to the CREAMi Tub. DO NOT add ingredients past the MAX FILL
line on the tub.
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 tub 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.
| 2 If the recipe requires the ingredients to be frozen, snap the lid on the
tub 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.
FREEZING TIPS
For best results, set your freezer between -12°C and -25°C. The cream is
designed to process bases within this range. If your freezer is within this
range, your tub should reach the appropriate temperature.
For best results, do not freeze the tub at an angle. Place the tub 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 tubs at once. Keep these
tubs in your freezer to CreamifyTM on demand whenever the craving strikes.
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.
4 When the base is prepped or frozen, remove the tub lid and place the
tub in the outer bowl.
NOTE: For best results, do not process the tub if ingredients have been
frozen at an angle or if the tub has been scooped out of and then refrozen
unevenly.
Always smooth-out the surface of a processed treat before re-freezing in the
tub. If the tub is frozen unevenly, put the tub in the fridge to allow the
ingredients to melt. Then whisk to make sure the ingredients are combined.
Refreeze, making sure to place the tub on a level surface in the freezer.
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.
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.
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.
9 When the program is complete, remove the outer bowl by holding the bowl
release button on the left side of the motor base and twisting the handle back
to the center. As the handle is twisted, the platform will lower the bowl.
Lift bowl to remove.
10 To remove the lid, press the lid unlock button and twist the lid
counterclockwise.
NOTE: The unit does not allow One-Touch Programs to be run back to back.
Between programs, lower the bowl and check the results before proceeding.
USING THE CREAMi CONTINUED
11a If adding mix-ins, use a spoon to create a 4 cm wide hole that reaches
the bottom of the tub. Add chopped or broken mix-ins to the hole in the tub
and repeat steps 6-10 to process again using the MIX-IN program.
MIX-IN TIPS
We recommend adding 32 g of your favorite crushed candies, frozen fruits,
chopped nuts, chocolate pieces, and more. When adding several different types
of mix-ins, we recommend not exceeding 32 g in total. Feel free to adjust the
number of mix-ins to your taste but make sure that the outer bowl lid can
still comfortably close over the tub.
Hard mix-ins will remain intact. Mix-ins like chocolate, candy, and nuts
will not be broken down during the MIX-IN program. We recommend using 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. We recommend using
bigger pieces of soft ingredients.
For ice cream and gelato, we do not recommend fresh fruit, sauces, and spreads
as mix-ins. Adding fresh fruit, fudge, and caramel sauces will water down your
treat. Chocolate hazelnut spread and nut butter also do not mix well. We
recommend using frozen fruit or chocolate/ caramel shell toppings.
11b If not adding mix-ins, RE-SPIN can be used on a crumbly or powdery
tub 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 610 to process again using the RE-SPIN program.
NOTE: Do not RE-SPIN before using the MIX-IN program.
12 Lift the tub out of the outer bowl. Enjoy your treat!
13 Rinse the outer bowl lid to remove any sticky residue or pieces wedged in
the Creamerizer Paddle. Then detach the paddle by pressing the latch on the
top of the outer bowl lid. For easy cleanup, release the paddle directly into
the sink.
14 Turn the unit off by pressing the power button. Unplug the unit when
finished. Refer to the Care & Maintenance section for cleaning and storage
instructions.
15 Didn’t finish your tub? Flatten the top of your frozen treat with a spoon
or spatula before refreezing. If the treat is hard after re-freezing, process
it again on the program you used to make it. If it’s soft, just scoop and
enjoy it.
NOTE: Leftovers can be stored in other containers. However, we recommend
storing leftovers in a tub so that it can be processed again if necessary.
NOTE: If your treat contains mix-ins, processing again will further crush
your mix-ins and create a new flavour.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
Hand-Washing
Wash containers, lids, and paddle in warm, soapy water. Use a dishwashing
utensil with a handle to clean the paddle. Thoroughly rinse and air-dry all
parts.
Dishwasher
Containers, lids, and paddles are dishwasher safe (top rack only). Ensure the
paddle, tub, outer bowl, and lids are all separated before placing them in the
dishwasher.
NOTE: For best results, use a dishwasher to remove stuck-on ingredients.
Outer Bowl Lid
Remove the paddle before cleaning the outer bowl lid as ingredients may be
stuck under the paddle. Then run warm water through the paddle release lever
and out the drain holes on either side. Position the lid with the lever side
down to fully drain the lid.
Remove the dark grey rubber lip seal wrapped around the middle of the
underside of the outer bowl lid. Then hand wash the lid and seal with warm,
soapy water or place in the dishwasher.
Motor Base
****Unplug the motor base before cleaning. Wipe motor base with a clean, damp
cloth. Do not use abrasive cloths, pads, or brushes to clean the base.
Using a damp cloth, wipe the spindle below the control panel after each use.
If the liquid is trapped between the motor base and the platform, raise the
platform to clean.
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.
Then use a damp cloth to clean the area between the base and the raised
platform.
STORING
For cord storage, wrap the cord with the hook-and-loop fastener near the back
of the motor base. DO NOT wrap the cord around the bottom of the base for
storage.
Do store any remaining attachments alongside the unit or in a cabinet where
they will not be damaged or create a hazard.
RESETTING THE MOTOR
This unit features a unique safety system that prevents damage to the motor
and drive system should you inadvertently overload it. If the unit is
overloaded, the motor will be temporarily disabled. Should this occur, follow
the reset procedure below.
- Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
- Allow the unit to cool for approximately 15 minutes.
- Remove the outer bowl lid and paddle. Ensure no ingredients are jamming the lid assembly.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that maximum capacities are not exceeded. This is the
most typical cause of appliance overload.
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.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn the
power off and unplug the unit before troubleshooting.
Unit moves on the worktop while processing.
- Make sure the worktop and feet of the unit are clean and dry.
The frozen treat is liquid, not solid, after processing.
- If a base is soft after processing, put the tub back in the freezer for several hours or until desired consistency is reached.
- For best results, freeze the base for at least 24 hours and process it immediately after removing it 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 -12°C and -25°C.
- The proportion of fat or sugar may be too high in your recipe. Consult the recipe guide and use the recipes included as a guide for the best results.
The frozen treat looks crumbly or powdery after processing.
- When bases are frozen in very cold freezers, they may come out crumbly. After running the One-Touch Program, use the RE-SPIN program to make your frozen treat smoother and creamier.
- The proportion of fat or sugar may be low in your recipe. Consult the recipe guide and use the recipes included as a guide for the best results.
One-Touch Programs will not illuminate.
- Ensure the unit is plugged into a working socket 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 illuminate when the unit is fully assembled and powered on.
- 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.
- The outer bowl is not installed or is not installed correctly. Make sure to install the paddle into the outer bowl lid and the lid onto the outer bowl. 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.
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 center. Be sure the paddle is installed in the lid.
One progress bar light as well as all program lights are flashing.
- The motor has been 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 recipe guide for the best results.
- Your freezer might be very cold. The unit is designed to process bases between -12°C and -25°C. Change the setting of your freezer, move the tub to the front of your freezer or leave the tub out on the worktop for a few minutes before processing.
- DO NOT process a solid block of ice, ice cubes, or hard, loose ingredients such as frozen fruit.
The middle two segments of the progress bar are flashing.
- There was an error and the program did not successfully completed. Check that the paddle is installed properly and try running the program again.
The tub froze at an angle in the freezer.
- To avoid damaging the unit, DO NOT process a tub that has been frozen at an angle. DO NOT process if the tub has been scooped out of and then refrozen unevenly.
- Always smooth out the surface of your ice cream before re-freezing. If the tub is frozen unevenly, put the tub in the fridge to allow the ingredients to melt. Then whisk to make sure the ingredients are combined. When refreezing, make sure to place the tub on a level surface in your freezer.
Outer bowls will not release from the 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 it. 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 multiple 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.
The inside of tub is scratched.
- Light scratching of the tub is normal after regular use. To keep the tub from scratching, prep ingredients in a separate bowl and avoid aggressive use of metal utensils in the tub. Clean with soft, non-abrasive cloths.
