- Prepare Ingredients: Pour your desired liquid (juice, coffee, milk, wine, etc.) into the container. Ensure the liquid level is between the MIN (27oz) and MAX (54oz) markings. For optimal results, ensure sugar content is >5% and alcohol content is between 2.8%-16%.
- Select Mode: Rotate the START knob to select your desired mode from the five presets: Ice Cream, Coffee Slush, Juice Slush, Milk Slush, or Alcohol Slush.
