Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to prepare your slushie or granita:
- Prepare Ice: Use standard ice cubes. Do not use crushed ice or ice from an ice dispenser, as this may damage the blades.
- Add Ice: Open the transparent lid and place ice cubes into the ice chamber. Do not overfill; ensure the lid can close securely.
- Secure Lid: Close the transparent lid firmly. The machine will not operate if the lid is not properly secured.
- Select Mode: Turn the control dial to the 'SHAVE' position. The machine will begin to shave the ice.
- Add Syrup: Once the ice is shaved to your desired consistency, turn the control dial to the 'MIX' position. Slowly pour your preferred syrup or flavored liquid into the pitcher through the opening in the lid while the machine is mixing.
