Tips for the Perfect Slushie:
Sugar Content:
For optimal texture and consistency, ensure that each ingredient contains at least 5% sugar. This helps achieve the ideal freezing point and smooth texture in the final slushie.
Alcohol Usage:
Alcohol should be used in moderation, as excessive amounts can interfere with the freezing process. For best results, maintain an alcohol concentration of 2.8% to 16% and dilute spirits (e.g., tequila) with juice or mix.
Sweetness tip:
Chill Ingredients for Better Flavor: Ingredients tend to taste sweeter and more flavorful when pre-chilled before freezing. For enhanced taste, we recommend chilling your ingredients before adding them to the machine.
SUGAR GUIDELINES
Check the nutrition label to make sure the sugar content meets the recommended minimums below:
| Serving SIZE | SUGAR CONTENT | |
| 26oz(770ml) | ~65+ g | ~5-7 tablespoons |
| 42oz(1250ml) | ~105+ g | ~7-9 tablespoons |
| 68oz(2000ml) | ~140+ g | ~9-11 tablespoons |
ALCOHOL GUIDELINES
Achieve the perfect balance for your favorite frozen cocktails at home. When using the Cocktail preset, all pre-mixed ingredients (such as wine, beer, etc.) must have alcohol content between 2.8% and 16% .
HARD ALCOHOL/SPRIT GUIDELINES
For frozen cocktails, refer to the chart below for the maximum amount of hard alcohol (vodka, tequila, etc.) allowed per recipe size.
| Total Recipe Size | Maximum Alcohol Amount |
| 3 1/4 cups - (26oz / 770ml) | 1/2 cup - (4oz / 120ml) |
| 4 1/2 cups - (36oz / 1000ml) | 3/4 cup - (6oz / 180ml) |

STORING
To store the cord, wrap it using the hook-and-loop fastener near the back of the motor base. Do not wrap the cord around the bottom of the base. Store the unit upright with all parts assembled. Hang the drip tray on the left side of the unit for storage. When moving the unit, lift it from the bottom of the motor base. Do not store ingredients inside the vessel.
Q: Can this machine be used to make any kind of beverage?
A: The machine utilizes the property that sugar and alcohol in the liquid can cause the liquid to freeze into small ice crystals at a lower temperature, so it is a product designed for making ice drinks. Thus, there are requirements for the sugar content and alcohol content when making beverages. If these requirements are not met, the production process will have an impact on the machine's stirring, and in severe cases, it may cause the product's stirring motor to get stuck. Therefore, it is recommended to strictly follow the minimum sugar content requirement in the recipe when making ice drinks.
Q: I have already added sugar, why did the product make strange noises and even get stuck after the machine was turned on for a short while?
A: After adding sugar, if it is not fully dissolved, the sugar distribution in the formula liquid will be extremely uneven. The undissolved sugar particles will rub against the machine like sand, and the sugar-free liquid will rapidly cool and freeze into ice instead of small ice crystals. This will cause friction with the auger, leading to collisions and producing abnormal sounds. When the ice blocks become large enough, they will get stuck in the auger. Therefore, the formula liquid must be fully dissolved first and ensure there is sufficient sugar content.
Q: How is the sugar content recommended to be adjusted?
A: We recommend using honey or fructose syrup to prepare the formula solution. This will make the dissolving process much faster than using sugar. Additionally, if you don't have measuring tools or if this is your first time trying to create your own recipe, our suggestion is to start by making a trial batch using a ratio of 1 part syrup to 7 parts recipe liquid (take 1250ml as an example, the sugar content is approximately 160ml and the rest is 1100ml ). Furthermore, when using the minimum volume ratio for the recipe, the sugar content can be slightly higher than the aforementioned 1:7 ratio, at a ratio of 1.5:6.5 .
Q: Why is the slushie I made very runny and watery?
A: This is because the default stop point of our function is set for a specific range of sugar content beverages (such as Pepsi). Within this range, the slushie will have relatively less water content. When you use your own recipes or other recipe beverages, if the sugar content exceeds the default sugar content range, the following two situations will occur: 1. When the sugar content of the recipe liquid exceeds the default range, the formed slushie will be a bit runny (with more liquid content). At this time, it is recommended to add 1-2 more temperature adjustment lights to lower the temperature (press the temperature control button to choose), which will reduce the liquid content. 2. When the sugar content of the recipe liquid is lower than the default range, the formed slushie will be a bit dry (with more ice crystal content). At this time, it will affect the torque of the auger and the speed of the slushie coming out when scooping. It is recommended to remove 1 temperature adjustment light to increase the temperature (press the temperature control button to choose), which will change the smoothness of the slushie. If all the lights have been chosen and the slushie is still runny, it is recommended to reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe liquid when preparing it or dilute the recipe liquid with water before making it.
Q: I want to make a slushie with fruit pulp. Is that possible?
A: There is a very small gap between the auger of the machine and the surface of the evaporator and can not use a formula liquid with fruit pulp. The fruit pulp may get stuck between the auger and the evaporator, causing damage to the machine. You can use a blender to fully crush the fruit pulp and filter out the juice, then add it to the machine. However, be aware that the sugar content of the juice will also vary, it is recommended to add some syrup when using pure fruit juice to ensure the sugar content of the formula liquid.
Q: If I turn on the machine and keep it running normally, but then forget to turn it off, what will happen?
A: Our product has a 12-hour continuous working function. If the user does not perform any key operations after turning on the machine, the product will continue to work for 12 hours after the first formulation is completed, and then it will stop working after 12 hours. During the 12-hour operation, as the water in the formula liquid condenses and sublimates, the sugar content will gradually increase and the slushie will become thinner and thinner. This is normal phenomena.
Q: Why are all the panel lights of the product constantly flashing and unable to be operated?
A: This is because the vessel was not properly installed and locked. When there is no liquid in the vessel, pull the vessel lock to the highest position, gently push the vessel in and then press down the vessel lock. In this way, you can observe a process where the vessel closes with the machine base. At this time, the alarm will be cleared and the product can be operated normally.
Q: Why are all the lights on the right side of the product's panel constantly flashing and unable to be operated?
A: This is because the sugar content in the formula liquid does not match the current temperature setting, resulting in the slushie being too dry, then increasing the resistance during stirring and causing the motor to get stuck. At this point, please unplug the power supply first, wait for 5-10 minutes to allow the slushie to warm up and partially melt. Then plug in the power and turn on the machine again, then set the function to the "Cold Drink" mode. When the motor starts to work, you can enjoy the slushie. If the motor still gets stuck, please repeat above steps until the motor can work normally. Then quickly take out the drink, turn off the machine and clean the vessel. For the next preparation, you can add more syrup or reduce the number of temperature setting lights by 1-2. If this problem does not occur during the operation process, then the product motor has malfunctioned, you need to contact your local after-sales centre to handle it.
Q: Why are the lights on the left side of the product constantly on and unable to be operated?
A: This mainly indicates that the temperature sensor in the vessel has malfunctioned. There are several possible causes for this;
-
The overheated formula liquid was poured into the vessel (it's required that the temperature of the liquid must not exceed 40^ , because higher temperature would damage the vessel, causing irreversible deformation and affecting the sealing performance of the vessel).
-
If it's the problem of the temperature sensor part, please contact the after-sales center.
Q: What will happen if the product is accidentally knocked down?
A: When the product is knocked down or placed on a non-horizontal securing surface, as there is an angle sensor inside, the product will immediately stop working or become unusable. Therefore, before using the machine, please ensure that it place in a horizontal position and should not be accessible to children or small animals.
Q: What is the use of the "Cold Drink" Function?
A: This product has a Cold Drink function, the beverage can be cooled to 4 - 5^ . The cooling speed is relatively fast, it can generally meet the requirement of reducing the temperature of beverages from room temperature to the desired level within 25 minutes. Moreover, it can continuously replenish beverages for standby use. It should be noted that if only use the "cold drink" function, the sugar content of the beverage does not need to be considered. Any beverage, including water, can be processed using this function. Furthermore, the "cold drink" function can also be used as a pre-preparation function for slushie. Before the party starts, you can cool down the sugary drinks first. After the party begins, switch to the slushie function and it can produce slushie more quickly.
Q: Can the detachable parts of the machine, such as the vessel, be cleaned in a dish-washing machine?
A: Most of these detachable parts are plastic materials, they can be carefully placed in the dish-washing machine for cleaning, but be careful to not to damage the vessel. Please do not dry the product in the dish-washing machine as the drying temperature can cause permanent deformation of the plastic parts and affect the normal installation and sealing of the product.
Q: During the usage process, I didn't stop the machine for continuous production and kept adding new beverages, why does the slushie sometimes not have the same effect as the first time it was made?
A: When adding liquids continuously, the temperature of the mixed liquids may vary in various situations, the mixed liquids do not rise to the temperature range required by the machine. In this case, press the menu button to re-enter this function and the complete process will be activated. This situation may occur more frequently for alcoholic beverages.
Q: Why I can't operate machine and will hear two buzzers after pressing the button?
A: This might be due to the user accidentally triggering the child lock function. At this point, please check if the light next to the child lock icon is on. If yes, just press and hold this button for 3 seconds. When you hear a beep sound and the light corresponding to the lock icon goes out, the child lock function has been removed and the product can be operated normally again.
Q: After I unplug the power cord from the socket and press the switch, why does the product still show up?
A: Because there is a small amount of electricity in the control board capacitor, this stored electricity will not run out immediately after the power cord is unplugged and it will drive display board, but the display will go out soon due to the electricity running out.
Q: Why do I occasionally hear a sizzling sound like liquid spraying? Is there something leaking?
A: We use the compressor principle for refrigeration, when the refrigerant flow from capillary to evaporation tube, will gasify rapidly due to throttling effect, then you may hear the liquid eruption flow sound at this time, this is normal and please don't worry.
Q: Why does the product shake sometimes?
A: Because this product has a refrigeration compressor, when the conditions meet the requirements of cooling down or when refrigeration start again, the compressor will stop and there will be inertial effect, then will make the product shake slightly, this is normal.
