Temperature Control Setting
Each preset will start at a default/optimal temperature for ideal texture. If desired, adjust the temperature for your perfect frozen drink texture.
- For sippable frozen drinks, decrease the temperature level by pressing the bottom arrow on the control panel.
- For thicker, colder frozen drinks, increase the temperature level by pressing the top arrow on the control panel.
Low-Sugar/High-Alcohol Alerts
Too little sugar or too much alcohol will prevent proper freezing of a slush output. The following alerts will be displayed for each scenario:
- Low-Sugar Alert: Temperature Control LEDs will flash one at a time in descending order starting with the top LED, preset LEDs will flash, and the unit will beep twice every minute for 15 minutes. If a drink does not meet minimum requirement of total sugar: Add 1-2 tablespoons flavored syrup, juice, sugar, date sugar, coconut sugar, maple syrup, agave, simple syrup, or honey per serving. Combine additional sugar with the base prior to pouring into unit.
- High-Alcohol Alert: Temperature Control LEDs will flash one at a time in ascending order starting with the bottom LED, and the unit will beep twice every minute for 15 minutes. If a drink exceeds the maximum alcohol amount: Add 1/4 cup (2 oz/60 ml) juice; water; non-alcoholic drink mix; soda; tonic water; seltzer; or plain, chilled coffee/tea per serving to dilute the input.
*Refer to the Inspiration Guide for more sugar and alcohol guidelines.

Recipe Not Slushing?
If your recipe has not reached the desired texture after 60 minutes, use the Temperature Control Setting to increase the temperature one level. Wait 10-15 minutes to test the recipe. If the texture still isn't what you desire, increase temperature by one level again. Repeat until desired texture is achieved.
