Setup
Unpacking and Initial Inspection
Carefully remove the machine from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Report any damage to the carrier immediately. Retain all packaging materials for future transport or return.
Placement
Position the slushy machine on a sturdy, flat, and level surface. Ensure there is sufficient clearance around the machine (at least 6 inches on all sides) for proper ventilation and heat dissipation. Avoid placing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
Drip Tray Installation
Locate the two large drip trays. Slide each drip tray into the designated slots at the bottom front of the machine. These trays collect any spills and can be easily removed for cleaning.

Filling the Tanks
Before operation, ensure the liquid material has a sugar content between 13% and 25%. This is crucial for proper freezing and machine function. Pour the prepared liquid into the transparent tanks. Ensure the liquid level is above the minimum water level mark to prevent damage to the machine.

Making Regular Slush
- Ensure the tanks are filled with liquid material (13-25% sugar content).
- Press the SET button to enter temperature adjustment mode.
- Use the ADD (+) or SUBTRACT (-) buttons to set the desired slush temperature. For regular slush, set the temperature between -2°C to -4°C.
- Press the SLUSH button to activate the freezing mode.
- Press the Left Mixing and Right Mixing buttons to start the mixing paddles.
- Allow the machine to operate until the desired slush consistency is achieved (typically 45-80 minutes).
Making Alcohol Slush
When making alcoholic slush, the freezing point of the mixture will be lower. Adjust the temperature accordingly.
- Ensure the tanks are filled with liquid material and alcohol. Maintain a total sugar content between 13% and 25%.
- Press the SET button to enter temperature adjustment mode.
- Use the ADD (+) or SUBTRACT (-) buttons to set the desired slush temperature. For alcohol slush, set the temperature between -6°C to -9°C.
- Press the SLUSH button to activate the freezing mode.
- Press the Left Mixing and Right Mixing buttons to start the mixing paddles.
- Allow the machine to operate until the desired slush consistency is achieved.
Dispensing Slush
To dispense slush, place a cup under the dispenser spout and pull the dispenser handle forward. Release the handle to stop the flow.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Slush is too watery or too much ice. | Incorrect sugar content in liquid; incorrect temperature setting. | Ensure sugar content is between 13-25%. Adjust slush temperature setting (e.g., -2°C to -4°C for regular, -6°C to -9°C for alcohol). |
| Machine not cooling or freezing. | Low sugar content; incorrect temperature setting; compressor/fan issue; refrigerant leak. | Verify sugar content and temperature settings. Check if fan and compressor are operating. If issues persist, contact qualified service personnel for refrigerant or component checks. |
| Loud noise during operation. | Normal compressor operation; machine not level; internal component issue. | Some noise is normal. Ensure the machine is on a stable, level surface. If noise is excessive or unusual, discontinue use and contact support. |
| Tanks difficult to lock or unlock. | Improper alignment or residue. | Ensure tanks are properly aligned with the base and that no residue is obstructing the locking mechanism. Clean thoroughly. |
| Liquid leaks from dispenser. | Worn or improperly seated gaskets; residue in spout. | Clean the dispenser spout and check for any food residue. Inspect gaskets for wear and ensure they are properly seated. Replace worn gaskets if necessary. |
