3. Setup

Before first use, ensure all packaging materials are removed and the machine is placed on a stable, level surface with adequate ventilation around the air vents.

Initial Steps:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the machine from its packaging. Keep the crate and other packing materials for possible future use, especially for warranty claims or returns.
2. Inspection: Check all parts for any damage during transit. If any issues are found, contact customer support immediately.
3. Placement: Position the machine on a sturdy, flat surface. Ensure there is sufficient space around the machine for proper air circulation, especially near the air vents.
4. Drip Tray Assembly: Ensure the detachable drip tray is correctly assembled and the drip tube is inserted into it.
5. Handle Assembly: Verify the handle assembly is securely in place.
6. Cleaning: Before adding any ingredients, perform an initial cleaning cycle using the 'Wash Mode' with clean water.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to operate your TECSPACE Slushy Machine and create delicious frozen beverages.

Preparation:

1. Prepare Mixture: Mix your desired beverage concentrate with water according to the recipe. For optimal slush consistency and to prevent machine damage, ensure the mixture has a Brix reading of at least 14% (sugar or alcohol content). A refractometer can be used for precise measurement.
2. Fill Tank: Pour the prepared liquid into the tank, ensuring it is above the waterline indicator but below the maximum fill line.

Operation:

1. Power On: Turn on the main power switch located on the control panel.
2. Tank Control: Turn on the individual control switch for the tank you wish to operate.
3. Select Mode: Press the function button on the control panel to cycle through the operating modes:
   • Slush Mode (Snowflake icon): For making frozen slush. The display will show the current temperature.
   • Juice/Night Mode (Water droplet icon): For chilling liquids without freezing.
   • Wash Mode (Water spray icon): For cleaning the tank.
4. Adjust Viscosity (Slush Mode only): If in Slush Mode, you can adjust the viscosity level. Increase the viscosity level for a thicker slush, and decrease it for a more watery slush.
5. Dispensing: Once the desired consistency is reached (for slush) or the liquid is chilled, pull the dispensing handle forward to pour the beverage.

5. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and hygienic operation of your slushy machine.

Daily Cleaning:

1. Empty Tank: After use, empty any remaining liquid from the tank.
2. Wash Mode: Fill the tank with clean water and activate the 'Wash Mode' to rinse the internal components. Repeat if necessary.
3. Disassemble and Clean: Disassemble the dispensing tap and auger components. Wash them thoroughly with warm, soapy water. The smooth PC material of the bowl makes residue easy to clean.
4. Wipe Down: Wipe down the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth. Ensure the drip tray is emptied and cleaned.
5. Lubrication: Periodically apply the provided food-grade lubricant to the moving parts of the dispensing mechanism and seals to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear.

Periodic Maintenance:

• Inspect the rubber bowl gasket and O-rings for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary to prevent leaks.
• Ensure air vents are clear of dust and debris to maintain proper heat dissipation and cooling efficiency.
