Using the Control Panel
Presets
5 unique presets that use RapidChill Technology to determine the perfect temperature for the ideal frozen drink.
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.
Temperature Progress: Temperature Control LEDs pulse showing progress to reach temperature. Unit will beep and LEDs will remain solid once complete.
Troubleshooting Tips
- 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.
- Slush Not Dispensing? For the best dispensing experience, fill the unit to the max fill line and ensure the unit is running. For a smoother dispense experience, decrease the temperature level by pressing the bottom arrow on the control panel. More sippable frozen drinks will dispense smoother.
Alerts
- Low-Sugar Alert: Temperature Control LEDs will flash one at a time in descending order, preset LEDs will flash, and the unit will beep 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/High-Sugar Alert: Temperature Control LEDs will flash one at a time in ascending order, preset LEDs will flash, and the unit will beep every minute for 15 minutes. If a drink exceeds the maximum alcohol and sugar amounts: Add 1/4 cup water; 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.
