Setup Guide
Unpacking and Placement
Carefully remove all packaging materials. Place the slushie machine upright on a stable, flat surface. Allow the unit to sit upright for at least 2 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant fluid to settle, ensuring optimal performance.
Initial Cleaning
Before first use, disassemble the removable parts: the handle, auger, and vessel. Wash these parts with warm, soapy water. The water catch and drip tray are dishwasher-safe. Ensure all parts are thoroughly dry before reassembly.
