9. User Tips

• Optimal Mixture: For the best slushy consistency, ensure your mixture has a sugar content between 12-15%. Too little sugar can lead to hard ice, while too much can prevent proper freezing.
• Pre-Chill Ingredients: If possible, pre-chill your liquid mixture before adding it to the machine. This can speed up the freezing process.
• Regular Lubrication: Don't forget to regularly lubricate the moving parts with food-grade lubricant to prevent wear and ensure smooth operation. This is a common oversight that can lead to issues.
• Monitor Levels: Pay attention to the "Shortage Reminder" in the bowls to avoid running the machine dry, which can damage components.
• Clean Promptly: Clean the machine thoroughly after each use, especially if switching between different types of beverages, to maintain hygiene and prevent flavor contamination.
• Alcoholic Drinks: When making alcoholic slushies, remember the machine can handle up to 20% alcohol content. Higher alcohol content may affect freezing consistency.
