Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Placement: Place the main unit on a stable, flat, and dry surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for operation.
- Jar Placement: Ensure all three 24 oz. blending jars are securely placed on their respective blending stations.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard, grounded electrical outlet.
Operating Instructions
1. Filling the Ice Reservoir
Open the lid of the ice reservoir located at the top of the unit. Fill the reservoir with standard ice cubes. The reservoir is designed to hold enough ice to prepare drinks in all three pitchers.
2. Preparing Ingredients
Add your desired beverage ingredients (e.g., spirits, mixers, fruit, syrups) to each of the three 24 oz. blending jars. Do not exceed the maximum fill line indicated on the jars to prevent overfilling and spillage.
3. Selecting Drink Settings
Each blending station has an individual control dial. Rotate the dial for each station to select one of the six pre-programmed drink settings:
- Daiquiris
- Pina Coladas
- Mojitos
- Mudslides
- Smoothies
- Margaritas
4. Automatic Blending and Shaving
Once the settings are selected and ingredients are prepared, the machine will automatically begin to shave ice from the reservoir and blend it with the ingredients in the jars. The rotating ice chute will automatically move from one blending station to the next, ensuring even distribution of shaved ice. The unit combines 700-watts of power to create up to 72 ounces of frozen drinks per cycle.
5. Manual Operation (Shave Only / Blend Only)
For custom concoctions or specific needs, you can use the "Shave Only" or "Blend Only" functions available on each station's control dial. This allows for greater control over the ice consistency and blending process.
Maintenance and Cleaning
After Each Use:
- Unplug: Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning.
- Wash Jars: Remove the blending jars and wash them thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and allow to air dry.
- Wipe Main Unit: Wipe down the exterior of the main unit, ice reservoir, and rotating chute with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
Deep Cleaning:
Periodically, disassemble any removable parts as indicated in the product diagram (if available) for a more thorough cleaning. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembly and storage.
Storage:
Ensure the unit and all its components are clean and completely dry before storing. Store the appliance in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
- Unit does not power on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functional electrical outlet. Check your household circuit breaker or fuse box.
- Ice not shaving or blending properly: Verify that the ice reservoir is filled correctly and the blending jars are properly seated on their stations. Do not overfill blending jars with ingredients. Ensure ice cubes are not frozen together in a large block.
- Unusual noise or vibration: Unplug the unit immediately. Check for any obstructions in the blending or ice shaving mechanisms. Ensure all parts are correctly assembled.
- Leaking from blending jars: Ensure the jar lids are securely fastened and the jars are properly seated on the blending stations. Check for any cracks or damage to the jars.
