4. Setup
4.1 Unpacking and Placement
- Carefully remove the machine from its packaging.
- Place the machine on a stable, level surface. Ensure there is sufficient space (at least 20 cm) around the machine for proper ventilation.
- Allow the unit to stand upright for at least 2 hours after unboxing before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle for optimal performance.
4.2 Initial Cleaning
Before first use, thoroughly clean all parts that will come into contact with beverages:
- Remove the tanks, augers, and dispensing faucets (refer to Section 6.2 for disassembly).
- Wash all removable parts with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Wipe down the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth.
- Reassemble all parts, ensuring seals are correctly seated.
5. Operation
5.1 Adding Ingredients
- Ensure the machine is clean and all parts are correctly assembled.
- Open the tank lid.
- Pour your prepared liquid mixture into the tank. Do not exceed the 'MAX' fill line. For slushy mode, fill only up to 1L to allow for expansion.
- Close the tank lid securely.

5.2 Using the Control Panel
The control panel allows you to select different modes and adjust settings:
- Power Button: Press to turn the machine on/off.
- Mixing Button: Activates/deactivates the stirring function in the tanks.
- Cold Drink Mode: Sets the temperature for cold beverages (e.g., 3-5°C / 37.4-41°F).
- Slush Mode: Sets the temperature for frozen slush (e.g., -3 to -1°C / 26.6-30.2°F for non-alcoholic, -15 to -6°C / 5-21.2°F for alcoholic).
- Temperature Adjustment (+/-): Use to fine-tune the temperature for desired consistency.
- Lighting: Turns internal tank lighting on/off.
Press the desired mode button (Slush or Cold Drink). The machine will begin the cooling and mixing process. Monitor the temperature on the digital display.
5.3 Dispensing Drinks
Once the desired consistency is reached (typically 20-40 minutes for slush, depending on ingredients and ambient temperature):
- Place a cup under the dispensing faucet.
- Pull the dispensing handle down to release the beverage.
- Release the handle to stop dispensing.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Machine not turning on | No power, power switch off | Check power connection, ensure switch is on. |
| Liquid not freezing / Slush too thin | Insufficient sugar content, too much alcohol, incorrect temperature setting | Ensure sugar content is 13-25%. Reduce alcohol content if above 13%. Adjust temperature to a lower setting. |
| Stirrer making rubbing noise | Liquid too thin | Add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar, syrup, or honey per cup to thicken the mixture. |
| Ice block formation | Insufficient sugar content | Add more sugar or concentrate to the mix. |
| Error Code 'LLL' | Low voltage alert | Check the operating voltage. If voltage is regular, contact customer support. |
