7. DO NOT operate any electrical equipment with a damaged cord or plug, or after the unit malfunctions. Do not attempt to replace the cord. Call Customer Service for examination, repair, or adjustment.
8. DO NOT use outdoors. This product is intended for INDOOR USE ONLY.
9. DO NOT pull the power cord to disconnect.
10. Keep the appliance and power cable away from heat sources and hot surfaces. Extension cords are not recommended to avoid overheating or fire. Always plug directly into a grounded wall receptacle.
11. Place the machine on a firm and stable surface. Ensure it is not placed near the edge of the worktop where it can be easily pushed off or fall.
12. Always protect the power cable from undue flexing and wearing; do not allow the cable to hang off the edge of the counter or table.
13. To reduce the risk of unintentional starting, check that the control is OFF before plugging the cord into the wall outlet. Turn the controller off to disconnect, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
14. NEVER plug the machine in where water may flood the area.
15. The ice shaver must be installed correctly before use.
16. The ice tray must be installed well before operating the machine.
17. The use of attachments or parts not specifically recommended or sold by the manufacturer for this grinder will void the warranty and may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
18. DO NOT use the machine for other than intended use. This ice shaver is intended for commercial and similar applications such as: staff kitchen areas in shops, offices, and other working environments; by clients in hotels, motels, and other residential-type environments; bed and breakfast type environments.

This machine uses a grounded, three-prong plug that should be connected directly to a grounded 120V (US) / 230V (EC), three-prong grounded wall outlet receptacle. Grounded plugs are used on metal-encased electric appliances to protect from electric shock. DO NOT change or alter the plug in any way. NEVER break off a grounding prong from a 3-conductor plug. Doing so voids the warranty and may result in electric shock.
22. Type Y attachment: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard.

Technical Parameters

Operation Instructions

Follow these steps for proper operation:

1. Installation: Place the appliance on a flat, stable location protected from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., stove, furnace, radiator). Ensure at least 15cm (approx. 6 inches) of space between the back/sides of the appliance and the wall. Do not place anything on the appliance.
2. Positioning: The appliance must be positioned where the power plug is easily accessible.
3. Shaving Ice (ON Button):
   1. Put small ice cubes (side length no more than 2-3cm) into the hopper. Large ice cubes may cause jamming or motor damage.
   2. Cover the hopper.
   3. Plug in the power cord.
   4. Press the "ON" switch. The machine will start crushing ice into granules.
4. Stopping (OFF Button): Press the "OFF" switch to stop the machine.
5. Jamming (Reverse Button): If the hopper is jammed with ice and no crushed ice is coming out, use the "Reverse" button for a few seconds, then switch back to "ON" to resume crushing.
6. Adjusting Ice Size (Rough/Fine Knob): Adjust the knob to control the size of the ice particles.

Important Notes:

• The machine requires a rest period: stop working for 10 minutes after every 30 minutes of operation to prevent motor overheating.
• Ensure crushed ice in the container does not touch the outlet, as this can cause it to get lodged in the blade.
• This machine is designed solely for shaving ice.
• WARNING: The blade is very SHARP. Operate with care.
• Do not pour water directly into the hopper or feed chute for cleaning, as this can cause electrical short circuits or electric shock. Always unplug the ice shaver before cleaning.
• Operating in a high-humidity environment increases the risk of short circuits or electric shock. If in doubt, disconnect power.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance ensure correct operation and prolong the equipment's life.

1. Preparation: Before cleaning or maintenance, ensure the main switch is OFF and the power plug is disconnected from the mains.
2. Blade Cleaning: After each use, ensure the blade is clean. Wash with clean water to keep it clean and prevent corrosion, which prolongs its service life.
3. Internal and External Parts: Unplug the power plug before any cleaning or maintenance. Do not use alcohol, as it may cause plastic parts to crack.
4. Exterior Cleaning: Use a clean, soft cloth to wipe the outside after each use. Then, use a damp cloth moistened with a neutral detergent to remove grease or impurities.
5. Crushed Ice Container Cleaning: Immerse the container in a mixture of neutral detergent and water for at least 3 minutes, then rinse with water and dry.
6. Blade Wear: The blade is a natural wear part. After extended use, it will wear down. Purchase a replacement blade of the corresponding specification. Improper operation or cutting hard ingredients can also damage the blade.
7. Screw Check: Periodically check for loose set screws and tighten them to maintain the machine.
8. Long-Term Storage: If the machine is idle for a long time, disconnect the main wall switch and clean the machine and its accessories thoroughly.
