4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the machine from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
2. Placement: Place the machine on a stable, level surface. Ensure there is sufficient space around the machine (at least 6 inches on all sides) for proper ventilation. Avoid placing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, thoroughly clean all parts that will come into contact with beverages. This includes the tanks, lids, augers, and dispensing faucets. Use mild soap and warm water, then rinse thoroughly. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembly.
4. Power Connection: Plug the machine into a dedicated 110V 60Hz grounded electrical outlet.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Mixture: For optimal slush consistency, use a mixture of water and white sugar in a ratio of 10kgs water to 1.5kgs white sugar. Ensure the sugar content is sufficient to prevent freezing solid.
2. Fill Tanks: Pour the prepared beverage mixture into the transparent tanks. Do not overfill; ensure the liquid level is below the maximum fill line.
3. Power On: Turn on the main power switch located on the control panel.
4. Activate Mixing: Turn on the "MIXER" switch for each bowl you intend to use. This will start the augers, ensuring the mixture is continuously stirred.
5. Activate Freezing: Turn on the "FREEZE" switch for each bowl. The machine will begin the freezing process. The working temperature range is typically -2°C to -5°C.
6. First Batch Time: For the first batch, allow at least 30 minutes for the slush to form. Subsequent batches may take less time.
7. Adjust Hardness: Use the "SOFT/HARD" knobs on the control panel to adjust the slush consistency. There are 4 gears to control the softness and hardness. Turn towards "HARD" for a firmer slush, and "SOFT" for a more liquid consistency.
8. Dispensing: To dispense slush, pull the dispensing faucet handle forward. Release the handle to stop dispensing.
