3. Assemble:
   • Insert the auger into the vessel.
   • Place the vessel onto the main unit, ensuring it is securely seated.
   • Attach the handle to the pour spout, securing it with the handle pin. You may need to push the piston up slightly for the handle to fit correctly.

Using Preset Modes

1. Prepare Ingredients: Mix your desired ingredients according to a recipe. Ensure liquids are well-mixed before adding to the machine. For best results, follow the recommended sugar and alcohol content guidelines provided in the recipe booklet.
2. Pour Mixture: Open the top cover and carefully pour the prepared mixture into the vessel. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
3. Select Mode: Turn the 'ON/OFF' knob to power on the machine. Use the 'MENU' button to cycle through the five preset modes: Slushie, Soft Ice Cream, Spiked Slushie, Cold Drink, and Milk Shake. The selected mode will be displayed on the digital screen.
4. Start Process: Press the 'ON/OFF' knob to start the selected program. The machine will begin cooling and mixing.
5. Monitor Progress: The machine's iWhirl Technology will automatically adjust auger rotation for optimal texture. Quicool Technology ensures rapid freezing.
6. Dispense: Once the program is complete (or when desired consistency is reached), pull the handle forward to dispense your frozen treat.
7. Keep Cool Function: The machine may have a 'Keep Cool' function to maintain the temperature and consistency of your treat for an extended period after preparation. Refer to the digital display for indicators.

Tips for Best Results

• For soft serve ice cream, ensure the mixture is thoroughly stirred before adding to prevent uneven freezing.
• If making slushies with carbonated beverages, some may produce larger ice chunks and a 'thumping' sound. This is normal for certain mixtures.
• Adhere to the maximum alcohol and sugar content recommendations to ensure proper freezing and machine function.

5. Maintenance & Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your HiCOZY F3 machine.

Self-Cleaning Mode

1. Empty Vessel: Ensure the vessel is empty of any remaining product.
2. Add Water: Pour warm water (and a small amount of mild dish soap, especially after making ice cream) into the vessel up to the maximum fill line.
3. Activate: Select the 'Self-Cleaning' mode from the menu and press the 'ON/OFF' knob to start. The machine will agitate the water to flush out residue.
4. Drain: Once the cycle is complete, pull the handle to drain the cleaning solution into the drip tray.
5. Repeat if Necessary: For thorough cleaning, especially after dairy-based products, you may repeat the self-cleaning cycle.

Deep Cleaning

For comprehensive cleaning, disassemble the removable parts:

• Disassemble: Remove the top cover, vessel, auger, handle, and drip tray.
• Wash: Hand wash all removable parts with warm, soapy water. The auger and drip tray are dishwasher safe.
• Clean Main Unit: Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
• Double-Layered Vessel Care: The vessel is double-layered for insulation. After washing, condensation may collect between the layers. To ensure complete drying and prevent film buildup, it is recommended to air dry thoroughly, potentially using a small fan to circulate air through the bottom opening. Avoid getting water into the insulating space between the layers.

• Dry Completely: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing to prevent mold or odors.
