6. Usage Tips for Optimal Results

6.1. Sugar Content

6.2. Alcohol Content

7. Maintenance & Cleaning

7.1. Self-Cleaning Function

The machine includes a self-cleaning function for convenience:

1. Ensure the vessel is empty.
2. Fill the vessel with clean water up to the 'MIN FILL' line.

7.3. Cleaning Evaporator and Machine Base

The condensation evaporator and the machine base cannot be cleaned by immersing them in water. It is recommended to wipe them clean with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure the machine base is completely dry before further use.

8. Troubleshooting

8.1. Machine Won't Run / Shows E0 Error

If the machine displays an 'E0' error or does not run:

• First Use: The transparent bucket lid may have been missing at shipment. Contact customer support for a replacement.
• After Use/Cleaning: You may have forgotten to reinstall the lid when disassembling the water tank. Check that all accessories are properly reinstalled.

8.2. Buzzing or Rattling Noises

• A buzzing sound from the compressor during ice-making is normal.
• If there's a rattling noise, it may be because the liquid has too little sugar (e.g., sugar-free cola). This causes hard ice to jam the stirrer, rubbing against the condenser. Add some liquid to melt the ice to avoid jamming. Clean the machine if necessary.

8.3. Liquid Not Freezing / Slush Not Forming

• Check if the liquid sugar content is over 4%. If lower, add 1-2 spoons of sugar.
• Lower the set temperature for better results.
• Do not exceed the max liquid line, as it lengthens slush-making time.
