Liquid Requirements

For optimal results and to prevent damage to the machine, adhere to the following liquid requirements:

This diagram illustrates the recommended sugar and alcohol content limits for various beverages when using the slushie machine. For non-alcoholic drinks, a minimum of 4% sugar is required. For alcoholic drinks, the alcohol content should range from 2.8% to 16%.

• Sugar Content: All ingredients must have a sugar content of at least 4%. Liquids that are too thin may cause a rubbing noise from the stirrer. Add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar, syrup, or honey per cup to thicken if needed. Sugar-free substitutes or artificial sweeteners will not meet the minimum sugar requirements.
• Alcohol Content (for Spiked Slush): When using the "Spiked Slush" preset, all premade ingredients (such as wine, beer, etc.) must have an alcohol content ranging from 2.8% to 16%. Too much alcohol (over 16%) can prevent the slushie from freezing. For best results, add more juice, soda, or water to dilute it and improve freezing.

6 Preset Programs

Choose from the following programs for perfect results:

• Ice Cream: For creamy homemade ice cream.
• Slush: Ideal for fruit slushies, sodas, or juices.
• Spiked Slush: Perfect for alcoholic frozen cocktails like margaritas.
• Frappe: For coffee-based or other blended frappes.
• Milkshake: For thick and creamy milkshakes.
• Chilled Juice: To quickly chill beverages without freezing.

Adjustable Thickness

Use the +/- buttons on the control panel to adjust the thickness of your frozen drink. Higher settings result in a thicker consistency, while lower settings produce a thinner drink.

12-Hour Delay Start (Reservation Function)

The machine features a reservation function allowing you to set a delay start from 1 to 12 hours.

The image shows a close-up of the machine's LED display, which reads "04H", indicating a 4-hour delay start has been set.

1. After adding ingredients and selecting a program, press the "TIMER" button.
2. Use the +/- buttons to set the desired delay time (1-12 hours).
3. The machine will start automatically after the set delay time.
