Making a Frozen Drink:
- Prepare Ingredients: Pour your desired liquid (juice, milk, coffee, cocktail, etc.) into the liquid container. Ensure the liquid level is between the MIN and MAX fill lines. No ice cubes are required.
- Select Program: Close the lid securely. Turn on the machine. Use the control panel to select one of the 5 smart preset programs:
- SLUSH: For classic slushies.
- SPIKED SLUSH: Optimized for alcoholic frozen drinks.
- FRAPPE: For coffee-based frozen drinks.
- MILKSHAKE: For creamy milkshakes.
- FROZEN JUICE: For fruit-based frozen beverages.
You can also use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the thickness across 10 custom levels, if available for the selected mode.
- Start Process: The machine will begin the freezing process. This typically takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the selected program and initial liquid temperature. The innovative cooling technology rotates liquid 360° around a chilling cylinder to maintain ideal temperature and texture.

- Dispense: Once the program is complete and the desired consistency is reached, place a glass under the dispensing spout and pull the handle to serve.
