- Load Liquid: Place the bucket filled with your desired liquid onto the designated slot on top of the machine.
- Adjust Speed: Use the speed adjustment knob to control the texture of the snowflake ice.

- Higher speeds (e.g., 60-90) can produce thicker, more strip-like or waterfall-like textures.
- Ice Production: The machine will begin to produce shaved ice. Place a bowl or container beneath the ice outlet to collect the ice.
- One-Button Cleaning: After use, utilize the one-button cleaning function for easy maintenance. Refer to the "Maintenance and Cleaning" section for details.
