16. Improper use of the appliance can result in property damage or even personal injury.
17. Never use abrasive cleaning agents when cleaning this unit.
18. The unit should remain upright at all times. If the unit is turned on its side or upside down, you will need to put it in an upright position and wait 24 hours before using it.

Before First Use

1. Remove all packaging materials and check to ensure that all parts and accessories are accounted for. Read and remove all stickers, except for the rating label, which should remain on the unit.
2. Remove and hand-wash the tank, auger, tank drip tray, and cup drip tray/coaster.
3. Wipe down the unit housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the unit in water or other liquids. Never use abrasive cleaning agents, which can damage the finish.
4. Assemble the handle: Slide the handle onto its stalk, then snap it into place. Once assembled, the handle cannot be removed from the stalk.

Quick Start: How to Make a Slushy

1. Ensure the tank drip tray is in place and pushed all the way in. Install the auger, making sure the end is completely seated on the point of the cooling cylinder.
2. Slide the tank on over the auger, pushing it all the way in. Lock it in place with the tank locking lever.
3. Plug in the unit. Pour your slushy mixture into the tank through the tank fill hatch. Make sure the mixture is between the MIN and MAX markings on the tank. For the fastest processing, prechill the ingredients. CAUTION: Do NOT fill the tank with only water, which can damage the machine.
4. Use the preset selection buttons to choose your slushy type. The preset will automatically choose the typical thickness, although you can modify it with the Thickness +/- buttons—a lower temperature means a thicker drink. Alternatively, choose Custom, then use the Thickness +/- buttons to select the thickness manually.
5. Press START/STOP. The unit will begin chilling and mixing the slushy mixture. The time depends on your chosen presets and the temperature of your ingredients, but usually ranges between 19 and 25 minutes. NOTE: Occasionally, you may notice that when the slushy maker is close to reaching its target temperature, it suddenly drops very low and then quickly climbs back up. This is normal.
6. When the slushy is ready, the unit will beep, and the Ready light will illuminate. Place a cup under the nozzle and gently pull down the dispenser to serve the slushy. NOTE: When dispensing, pull from the entire length of the lever. Pulling just from the end of the lever can damage it, especially with very thick slushies. If the slushy is so thick that it won’t come out, run the unit on the cleaning cycle for a few minutes, which will raise the temperature just enough to let it dispense.

Slushy Inspiration

As the presets suggest, you can make a fantastic slushy with just one ingredient: beer, wine, soft drinks, fruit juice, etc. But you can have even more fun by creating your own custom mixes to slush-ify. (Take a look at Slushy Science on p. 14 for tips on getting the right temperature and proportions, and advice about what to adjust if it’s not quite perfect the first time.) Here are a few tasty ideas to get you started:

Margarita

In a large measuring cup, combine 3 cups limeade, 1 cup tequila, ¾ cup water, ½ cup orange juice, ½ cup simple syrup, and 3 Tbsp. Fresh lime juice. Add to the slushy maker tank. Process on the Cocktail setting. Dispense into a margarita glass with a salted rim, and garnish with a slice of lime. Variation: For a spicy margarita, use a jalapeño-infused simple syrup, serve in a glass rimmed with Tajin (chili salt), and garnish with a slice of jalapeño.

Strawberry Frosé

In a large measuring cup, combine 4 cups of rosé wine, 1 cup of water, ½ cup strawberry purée, and ¼ cup triple sec. Stir until well mixed, then add to the slushy maker tank. Process on the Wine setting. Serve in a wine glass, garnished with a strawberry.

Frozen Latte

In a large measuring cup, combine 3¾ cups cold-brew coffee, 1½ cups whole milk, ¾ cup heavy cream, and ½ cup sugar. (For a stronger coffee flavor, reduce the amount of cream and add more cold brew.) Stir until well mixed, then add to the slushy maker tank. Process on the Custom setting at 29–29.8°F. Dispense into a glass and garnish with whipped cream, if desired.

Blue Raspberry Slushy

In a large measuring cup, combine 4 cups of water, 1 cup of raspberry simple syrup, and 12 drops of blue food coloring. Stir until well mixed, then add to the slushy maker tank. Process on the Juice setting. Dispense into a tall glass and garnish with a cherry.

Slushy Science: Getting the Perfect Thickness

The three factors that affect the thickness of your slushy are temperature, sugar content, and alcohol content (if making an alcoholic slushy). Whether you choose a preset or use the Custom program, you can manually control your slushy’s thickness, which lets you experiment with your ingredients.

Temperature

The lower the temperature, the thicker the slushy. This is why when you press the plus (+) thickness control button, the number on the display (the temperature) goes down. Slushies are at their thickest immediately after the cycle ends, so if a batch comes out too thick, let it hold for several minutes, then try dispensing again. If a batch is too thin, try increasing the thickness and run the cycle again. If adjusting the temperature doesn’t give you the consistency you want, the next step is to play with your ingredients.

Sugar Content

Sugar is essential for making your mixture freeze into a slushy rather than a block of ice. Your mixture should be at least 4% sugar to make a successful slushy. As a general guideline for packaged ingredients, the “Total Sugars” listed on the nutrition facts label should be 1 g of sugar for every 1 oz of serving size. If it lists less than that, add granulated sugar (make sure it’s fully dissolved), simple syrup, agave nectar, honey, maple syrup, soda, or fruit juice.

Allulose can also be used as a sugar substitute; however, it is the ONLY sugar substitute that works. Diet sodas and flavored unsweetened waters will ALWAYS need sugar or allulose added to successfully freeze. (As an example, for 1½ L of diet soda, add 5 Tbsp of allulose.) Keep in mind that freezing mutes flavors, so adding a bit of sweetness is also a good way to make the flavor pop, even if the thickness is fine.

Alcohol Content

Alcohol inhibits freezing, which means if your mixture has too much alcohol—more than 16%—the slushy will be too thin or won’t freeze at all. Beers, hard seltzers, most wines, and cocktails made following the instructions of bottled mixes are all under this limit. Fortified wines (such as port) and very strong cocktails are not. To adjust the alcohol content, dilute the mixture with any non-alcoholic liquid: water, juice, cocktail mixer, soda, seltzer, etc.

Keep It Clean

The automatic cleaning cycle makes it easy to keep your unit in top condition. Perform this cleaning cycle after each use of the slushy maker:

1. Remove the tank and empty any remaining slushy. Remove and rinse off the auger.
2. Reinstall the auger on the unit, then reinstall the tank, making sure to lock it in place with the locking lever.
3. Add water to the tank up to the MAX fill line. Add a few drops of dishwashing liquid.
4. On the control panel, select Clean, then press START/STOP.
5. The auger will swish soapy water around the tank while the timer counts down the time of the cleaning cycle. When the cycle is finished, the unit will beep, and the Ready light will illuminate.
6. Unlock and remove the tank. Discard the soapy water and rinse the tank and auger thoroughly, then dry with a soft cloth.
7. Wash the tank drip tray, cup drip tray, and coaster with mild soap, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
8. All removable parts are also top-rack dishwasher safe.
9. Be sure the parts are completely dry before reassembling for storage.
