• Speed Selector Switch (2 speeds)

Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for storage or shipping if needed.
2. Placement: Place the soda fountain on a stable, flat, and dry surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for ventilation and operation.
3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the stainless steel mixing cup and mixing spindle (if removable) with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe the motor housing and base with a damp cloth.
4. Power Connection: Ensure the speed selector switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging the unit into a 127V AC electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients: Add your desired ingredients (milk, ice cream, syrup, etc.) into the stainless steel mixing cup. Do not overfill; ensure ingredients are below the top rim to prevent spills during mixing. The capacity of the cup is 750 milliliters.
2. Position Mixing Cup: Place the mixing cup onto the cup rest, ensuring it is securely seated and the mixing spindle is properly inserted into the ingredients. The unit is designed to only operate when the cup is correctly attached and locked into place.
3. Select Speed: Turn the speed selector switch to your desired speed setting (Speed 1 or Speed 2). Speed 1 is suitable for lighter mixing, while Speed 2 provides higher power for thicker mixtures or faster blending.
4. Mix: Allow the soda fountain to mix until your desired consistency is achieved.
5. Stop Operation: Once mixing is complete, turn the speed selector switch to the "OFF" position.
6. Remove Cup: Carefully remove the mixing cup from the unit.
7. Serve: Pour your mixed beverage into a serving glass.

Note: The appliance will only power on when the mixing cup is correctly attached and locked in place. This is a safety feature.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your soda fountain.

1. Unplug: Always unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
2. Mixing Cup: Hand wash the stainless steel mixing cup with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent oxidation. Do not wash the mixing cup in a dishwasher, as this may cause discoloration or damage.
3. Mixing Spindle: Wipe the mixing spindle and agitator with a damp cloth. For thorough cleaning, you may carefully remove the spindle if your model allows, following specific instructions if provided with the unit. Ensure it is dry before reassembly.
4. Motor Housing and Base: Wipe the exterior of the motor housing and base with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers. Never immerse the motor housing or base in water or any other liquid.
