Ice Shaver Machine Specs

Function and Purpose

This unit is intended for shaving ice in commercial foodservice operations only. It is not intended for household, industrial, or laboratory use.

Before using this equipment, it must be cleaned and dried thoroughly. Clean all surfaces before use. Failure to clean surfaces before using the unit could cause food contamination.

This ice shaver is intended for shaving block ice for use in Hawaiian shaved ice, kakigori, Taiwanese shaved ice, or snowballs. Block ice should be a maximum of 7 inches in diameter and 7 inches in height. See further instructions below. Your Block Ice Shaver machine can produce up to 360 lb. of ice per hour.

Installation and Operation Instructions

1. Place the Ice Shaver machine in a place where it cannot be pushed off the counter.
2. Keep the area at the front of the Ice Shaver clear for unobstructed access during operation.
3. Keep unit and power cord away from open flames, electric burners, or excessive heat.
4. Do not use an extension cord with this equipment.
5. NEVER allow any foreign or metallic objects around the shaver area. Ice picks, scoops, and debris that may be in the ice can damage the blade.
6. Connect drain hose to the front of the unit. The drain hose funnels excess water to a floor drain or basin tub.
7. This unit comes with an optional foot pedal switch for operating the unit. It should be located so it will not be a trip hazard or in an area of heavy traffic.
   • Do not leave the foot switch accessible for inadvertent operation when left unattended or when not being used.
   • Turn the Foot Pedal Power Switch OFF when the ice shaver is not in use.
   • Do not bypass any machine or equipment safety features to use this foot switch.
   • Replace damaged cord immediately.

Operation

Recommendation: For the fluffiest, snow-like ice, temper ice to room temperature for at least 20 minutes. To release the ice block from the mold, pour warm water over the outside of the mold. Tempering the ice too quickly may result in cracked ice, which should not be used.

1. Please ensure that the machine is on a level stable surface, and the feet are intact and level.
2. Open the block shaver safety-shield, and wipe the shaving plate with a dry cloth. Check that the blade is firmly installed. Please use caution to avoid the exposed blade.
3. If using the foot pedal, install the foot pedal by plugging it into the back of the machine.
   • WARNING: Do not leave the foot switch accessible to inadvertent operation when left unattended or when not being used.
4. Place an ice block no bigger than 7" x 7" on the shaving plate; do not overfill.
   • WARNING: Ensure the block is centered, using the concentric guidelines. Uncentered blocks may dislodge from the ice claw.
   • Allow the ice block to temper (To "temper" is to "warm up" your ice blocks in order to get the correct ice consistency. Tempering allows the ice to reach the ideal shaving temperature of 18 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the ice block begins to melt (or sweat), it is an indication that the ice has reached the tempered stage.) for at least 20 minutes for finer and fluffier texture. We recommend not using ice blocks straight from the freezer.
5. Adjust the ice claw to secure the ice block by rotating the handle clockwise (or counterclockwise to loosen). Ensure the ice claw teeth penetrate the ice block. Release the handle after the ice block is centered and secure.
   • WARNING: Do not touch the teeth of the ice claw.
6. Close the safety-shield and place a cup, bowl, or tub directly below the ice chute. Turn the Main Power Switch ON or press down on the Foot Switch. To stop shaving ice, release the Foot Switch.
   • WARNING: KEEP SAFETY-SHIELD CLOSED AT ALL TIMES WHEN OPERATING MACHINE.
7. Keep an eye on your block ice and replace the block when there is 1/4" left or at your own discretion. Warning: do not let the ice claw touch the shaving plate while operating. Turn the front switch to turn OFF or take your foot off the pedal.
   • Note: When replacing the block ice, make sure to switch OFF power and remove foot from pedal. This machine can still operate with the safety-shield open.
8. To adjust the ice texture, turn the Blade Adjustment Knob CLOCKWISE for a finer ice texture, COUNTERCLOCKWISE for a coarser ice texture.
9. Top with Carnival King Sno-Cone Syrup, condensed milk, frozen or fresh fruit, or marshmallow fluff!
