Refer to the next page for detailed instructions on cleaning parts after using the Cleaning Mode.
Disassembly & Cleaning
Warning: ALWAYS ensure the machine is unplugged before cleaning any part.
For best results, use the Cleaning Mode before disassembling and cleaning all parts.
- Unplug the power, turn on the vessel lock, and remove the vessel.
- Scrub the evaporator and its sealing ring with a clean, soft towel. Do not disassemble or pull the seal ring forcefully, as this may cause deformation and water leakage.
- Remove the auger.
- Pull out the water pan and pour out any liquid inside.

A: When cleaning the evaporator, do not remove the water pan, as water may enter the machine.
- Wipe down the area underneath the evaporator with a sanitized or warm, damp cloth.
- Remove the drip tray as needed.
- After disassembling the parts, rinse them directly under a tap or soak them for cleaning.
- Once the cleaned parts are dry or air-dried with a towel, reinstall them in the machine.
Note:
- Use a soft brush and detergent to clean stubborn stains and grease. Rinse off residues thoroughly.
- Clean the vessel assembly, water pan, and auger promptly after use to prevent odors.
- Do not scrub the unit with abrasive tools like a high-strength cleaning ball. Do not rinse the evaporator or unit body directly with water, as this may cause water ingress and damage.
In-Depth Guides

Sugar Guidelines
All inputs must contain at least 6% sugar for proper formation. If not, add sugar (white sugar, coconut sugar, honey, maple syrup, chocolate syrup, or caramel sauce) before pouring into the vessel.
Please refer to the nutrition label to ensure the sugar meets the recommended minimums.
Serving Size | Minimum Total Sugar Amount |
---|---|
16 oz (470 ml) | 28 g |
48 oz (1400 ml) | 85 g |
EXAMPLE: Cola
[Image: Nutrition Facts label for a can of cola, highlighting 39g Total Sugars.]
Troubleshooting Tips: Low-Sugar Alert - Frozen Evaporator
- Do not add water directly to the unit to make a slushie, as this can cause the evaporator to freeze.
- Sugar-free alternatives or artificial sweeteners with low sugar content may not produce frozen drinks directly.
- If the evaporator starts to freeze, try lowering the thickness level. If the issue persists at the lowest level, add extra sugar to the liquid.
Note: Do not turn on the vessel lock.
[Image: A diagram showing sugar percentages for different drinks: Diet Soda, Fruit Juice, Sports Drink, Frappé, Soda.]
Alcohol Guidelines
When using the Wine & Cocktail Mode, pre-made inputs must contain between 3% and 16% alcohol. Alcohol content outside this range may prevent proper freezing.
If alcohol content exceeds 16%, dilute it with juice, soda, tonic water, water, non-alcoholic mixed drinks, coffee, or tea.
For frozen cocktails, refer to the chart for maximum allowable hard alcohol/spirits content:
Total Recipe Size | Maximum Alcohol Amount |
---|---|
3 cups (24 oz) | 1/2 cup (4 oz) |
4 1/2 cups (36 oz) | 3/4 cup (6 oz) |
6 cups (48 oz) | 1 cup (8 oz) |
The chart is a guide for adding hard alcohol or spirits (35%+ ABV). For wine, beer, soda, or pre-made cocktails, refer to guidebook page 21.
Troubleshooting Tips: High-Alcohol Alert - Mixture Remains Liquid
- If the machine fails to make a frozen drink, try increasing the thickness level. If the issue persists at the highest level, add extra diluted liquids to meet the required alcohol content.
Note: Do not turn on the vessel lock.
