3. Setup & Assembly

Before first use, assemble the machine components as instructed. Ensure all parts are clean and dry.

Assembly Steps:

1. Unpack all components and verify that all parts are present and undamaged.
2. Carefully place the main unit on a stable, level surface.
3. Install the mixing augers and sealing rings into the cooling cylinders.
4. Attach the transparent tanks to the main unit, ensuring they are securely locked in place.
5. Place the lids on top of the tanks.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to prepare and dispense your frozen beverages:

4.1 Preparing the Mix:

Prepare your desired beverage mix. For optimal slush consistency and to prevent damage to the machine, ensure the liquid has a minimum sugar content of 13%. Liquids with lower sugar content may freeze too hard and damage the mixing components.

4.2 Filling the Tanks:

Pour the prepared liquid into the transparent tanks. Ensure the liquid level is above the white plastic beater to allow for proper mixing and freezing. Do not overfill the tanks.

4.4 Temperature Adjustment:

If the slush consistency is not as desired after the initial freezing period (approximately 30 minutes), you can adjust the temperature settings on the control panel. For liquids containing alcohol, the temperature should be set around -9℃ for optimal freezing.

4.5 Dispensing:

To dispense, place a cup under the dispensing spout and pull the handle forward. The drip-free valve ensures a clean serving experience.

5. Maintenance & Cleaning

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

5.1 Daily Cleaning:

After each day of use, empty any remaining liquid from the tanks. Fill the tanks with clean water and run the mixing function for a few minutes to rinse. Drain the water. This helps prevent sugar buildup and keeps the machine fresh.

5.2 Deep Cleaning:

For thorough cleaning, only four main parts need to be disassembled: the tanks, mixing augers, sealing rings, and dispensing spouts. Disassemble these parts and wash them with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely before reassembly. Ensure all components are dry to prevent mold or mildew growth.
