GENERAL INFORMATION ON MAKING SLUSH
- Always be aware of the maximum capacity of the mixing container, to prevent the ingredients from overflowing. It is also important to fill the container to the minimum capacity, to obtain optimal slush ice. For the best slushies, the container should ideally be completely full. You may need to adapt your recipes to the capacity of the appliance.
- The preparation time will vary depending on several factors, such as the temperature of the ingredients, room temperature, sugar content, and the desired consistency. The use of pre-cooled ingredients can shorten the preparation time.
- However, you should never put frozen ingredients in the container, since this will damage the appliance.
- If you use freshly squeezed juice, any pulp must be removed by straining through a sieve, for example. Solid components can clog the outlet.
- The formation of condensate on the outside of the mixing container is normal, especially at high humidity or in case of long preparation times.
- The recipe booklet included contains additional information and tips.

- Plug the appliance into an electrical outlet in accordance with the type plate. Press the ON/OFF button to switch the appliance on.
- Now select the preparation type with the buttons provided. You can choose from among the following programs:
■ Slushie for classic slush ice specialities
■ Milk Shake for slush ice milk shakes
■ Wine for slush ice with wine
■ Frappe for coffee frappé slush ice
■ Cocktail for slush ice cocktails
-
Use the + and – buttons to set the desired consistency of the slush ice. Five levels are available; level 3 is preset at the factory. Once a level is selected, it will be saved for future applications, but can be changed by pressing a different button.
-
Note: If the temperature of the ingredients is 20–25 °C, it takes about 35 minutes on level 3 until the slush ice is finished. If pre-cooled ingredients are used, this time is shortened accordingly.
-
Press the Start/Stop button. The appliance starts mixing and cooling ingredients, the button for the selected preparation type lights up during this time.
- After 10 seconds, the child protection lock is automatically activated; the child protection lock indicator lamp lights up, indicating that the appliance is locked. Now, input via the buttons is disabled. Press and hold the child protection lock button for 3 seconds to deactivate the lock. Input via the buttons is enabled again.
- To pause the current program, press the Start/Stop button.
- When the slush ice is ready, the appliance beeps three times and “Cool” appears on the display. The symbol for the selected program lights up brightly, while the other function symbols light up dimly.
- The appliance is now in cooling mode and keeps the slush ice cool.
- Place a container under the outlet and push the tap forward to remove the slush ice. Once the desired quantity has been dispensed, release the tap.
- The appliance remains in cooling mode until you select another function or switch off the appliance.
- To switch off the appliance, press the ON/OFF button and unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet.
- If you wish to prepare more slush ice right away, you must first clean the appliance in accordance with the interim cleaning instructions in the chapter “Cleaning and care”.
APPLIANCE PROTECTION FEATURES
- Motor protection: The appliance is equipped with a safety feature that automatically stops the mixer if the processed mass is too solid. This prevents damage to the machine.
- Compressor protection: To protect the compressor, avoid starting and stopping the appliance repeatedly. After being switched off, the compressor needs a rest period of 3 minutes before it can be activated again. Unplugging the power cord deactivates the protection feature. To prevent damage to the compressor, we recommend that you do not unplug the appliance.
- Mixing container protection: The appliance automatically switches off if the mixing container is not correctly inserted or if it is removed during operation. This feature prevents injuries, as well as damage to the appliance. In this case, the function symbols on the display light up, the consistency indicator
flashes, and the appliance can only be started again after the mixing container is correctly inserted.
CLEANING AND CARE

Before disassembly, switch off the appliance and disconnect the plug from the electrical outlet.
Do not use abrasive scouring agents, steel wool, metal objects, hot cleaners or disinfectants, since they can cause damage to the appliance.
Interim cleaning
- Fill the mixing container with clean water up to the “Max” marking. The maximum permissible water temperature is 50^ C. Switch on the appliance using the ON/OFF switch and then press the “Clean” button. Let the appliance run only about 4 minutes. Then drain the water via the outlet into a sufficiently large container and discard. If the mixing container is still not clean, repeat the process.
Disassembly
- Before disassembly, carry out interim cleaning for 2–3 minutes as described in the section above. Completely drain the water via the outlet into a sufficiently large container and discard.
- Switch off the appliance using the ON/OFF switch and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
- Open the locking mechanism by pulling the lever forward (see chapter "Before first use").
- Remove the mixing container and the mixer. Clean both components with a moist cloth and dry thoroughly.
- Pull the drip tray out of the appliance, empty the tray, and clean the tray and drip grate in warm water with a little washing-up liquid.
- Pull the condensate tray out of the appliance, empty the tray and clean it, likewise in warm water with a little washing-up liquid.
- Wipe off the cooling cylinder and the seal with a clean cloth. Important. The seal cannot be removed. Never pull on the seal. This can deform the seal, resulting in water leaks and a defective appliance.
-
The outlet, mixer and mixing container are dishwasher-safe and can be cleaned in the upper basket using a gentle rinsing program.
-
To clean these parts by hand, add a mild washing-up liquid to about 8 litres of water and immerse all parts. Use a washing-up brush, for example, to remove any food residue from the parts.
- Afterwards, rinse all parts with clean water.
- Wipe off the housing carefully with a moist cloth.
- All parts must be completely dry before you reassemble the appliance.
- Note: The appliance operates with a compressor. As a result, condensation water can collect inside the appliance. After switching off and cleaning the appliance, it should therefore remain unpacked for at least two days before storing, to allow the condensation water to evaporate.
- If the appliance is not to be used for an extended period, it should preferably be stored in the original box in a protected, dry area that is free of dust.
