Operating Instructions
- Prepare Your Mix: For optimal results, ensure your beverage mix has at least 13% sugar content and under 14% alcohol content. Avoid using plain water, as this can damage the motor. Stir the mix thoroughly before adding to the tanks.
- Add Beverage: Open the lid of each tank and carefully pour your prepared beverage mix into the respective tanks. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
- Select Mode: Use the control panel to select the desired production mode for each tank:
- Slush Mode: For frozen slush beverages.
- Cold Drinks Mode: For chilled, non-frozen beverages.
- Margarita Mode: Optimized for frozen alcoholic cocktails.
- Start Production: The machine will begin the freezing or chilling process. Freezing typically takes 15-60 minutes, depending on ambient temperature and mix composition.
- Dispense: Once the desired consistency is reached, pull the dispenser handle to serve your frozen beverage.
