5. Operating Instructions

The VELPAX Slushie Machine features a streamlined 3-step process for making frozen drinks:

5.1 Preparing Ingredients

• For optimal results, pre-chill your liquid ingredients before adding them to the machine.
• Ensure all solid ingredients are thoroughly blended or crushed into a liquid form to prevent clogging the auger. The machine is not designed to handle solid chunks.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line indicated on the container (68 oz liquid capacity). Overfilling may affect freezing speed and consistency.
