Frequently Asked Questions - SCM-802 Nostalgia

What can I make with the Nostalgia SCM-802 ice shaver?

You can make shaved ice cones, slushies, milkshakes, fruit snow cones, and other low-calorie frozen treats.

How do I start the machine?

Place ice cubes into the reservoir, put the lid back on, and turn it clockwise to activate crushing. To stop, turn counterclockwise.

Can I use ice cubes straight from the freezer?

It is recommended to let the ice cubes sit for a few minutes until they are slightly damp on the surface; this makes crushing easier and gives a finer texture.

What are the important safety precautions?

Never immerse the appliance in water, do not touch the blades, unplug before cleaning, do not use near a water source, and do not leave unattended.

How do I clean the machine?

Unplug the appliance. Remove the lid and crushing element. Clean the interior with a damp non-abrasive sponge and dry with a soft cloth. The lid and crushing element are dishwasher safe.

Are the blades dangerous?

Yes, the blades are extremely sharp. Be very careful when cleaning and handling the crushing element.

Can I use an extension cord?

Yes, but ensure the extension cord's power rating is at least equal to the appliance (50 W) and place it away from water sources.

What if the machine doesn't work?

Check that the lid is properly engaged in the on position, the plug is correctly inserted, and the ice is not too hard. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service center.

Is the machine suitable for children?

Under adult supervision, children can use it. However, due to the sharp blades, it is not recommended to leave young children unsupervised.

What type of ice cubes should I use?

Use standard ice cubes from your freezer. Avoid large blocks or crushed ice. For best results, take the ice cubes out a few minutes before use.

The SINGLE CONE VINTAGE SNOW CONE MAKER™ uses ice cubes from your freezer to create:

• Snow Cones
• Slushies
• Smoothies
• Low Fat Snacks

The SINGLE CONE VINTAGE SNOW CONE MAKER ^™ is designed for kitchen use but can be used in a number of locations such as:

• Family Rooms
• Dorm Rooms
• Offices
• Club Houses

And more...

INTRODUCTION

Now you can enjoy icy, cool snow cones to snack on when.....

• Watching TV or a Movie at Home

After Taking the Unit Out of the Box

A. Your SINGLE CONE VINTAGE SNOWCONE MAKER™ is already fully assembled. Before first use, lift the removable top off of the body and wipe clean the inside of the unit with a non-abrasive moist sponge, a non-abrasive towel, or a damp cloth followed by a non-abrasive dry towel.
B. After cleaning the inside, put the top back on the base of the unit.
C. Now you are ready to enjoy cool, refreshing icy snacks from your SINGLE CONE VINTAGE SNOW CONE MAKER™.

USING YOUR SINGLE CONE VINTAGE SNOW CONE MAKER™

First, find a stable surface near an electrical outlet before starting. (Make sure your cord is away from any water source. If needed, it is acceptable to use an extension cord.)

1. Before plugging in your unit, add ice cubes by removing the clear top from your SINGLE CONE VINTAGE SNOWCONE MAKER™. In order to do so, turn the clear top counter-clockwise, lift and remove. Once you have done this, plug in the unit.

For Optimal Ice Shaving Results – Your ice cubes should sit a short while before putting them in the shaving unit. If your ice has a frosty look, it is much too hard to shave. If your ice sits long enough to look clear and it is wet to the touch, then it is ready to make your SINGLE CONE VINTAGE SNOW CONE MAKER™ experience a fun one.

1. When ice cubes are ready, place cubes in the shaving unit allowing enough room for the lid to be placed back on the unit easily.
2. Place a cone in the snow cone holder so the shaved ice does not spill onto your countertop.
3. Return the clear lid to the unit and turn clockwise to the ON position. This will activate the unit to begin shaving. (To turn "OFF" simply turn the lid counter - clockwise.)
4. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have shaved the amount of ice desired. Make sure to unplug when you are finished.
5. Use the recipes found on the next page to create your favorite snow based treats!

CLEANING

1. Make sure the unit is unplugged before cleaning.
2. Lift top housing to clean and dry inside of unit.
3. Use slightly damp, non-abrasive sponge or non-abrasive towel to wipe clean outside of unit, then wipe with a non-abrasive dry towel to dry.
   The shaving unit and clear lid are dishwasher safe. To take out the shaving unit, simply turn the white top in a counter-clockwise direction and it will unscrew, unlocking the top.
   IMPORTANT: The blade is very sharp. When cleaning use EXTREME CAUTION when handling.
   The cone holder shelf on the outside of the unit is also removable for cleaning.
