HELPFUL TIPS
ICE CUBES
Ice cubes should sit outside of the freezer a short while before putting them in the shaving unit. If ice has a frosty appearance, it is too hard to shave. Let ice sit until it is translucent and wet to the touch. Then it is ready to put in the Ice Shaving Canister.
SHAVED ICE
In order to prevent messes:
- Place unit on a waterproof surface while in use.
- After you are finished making snow cones, make sure to empty Ice Shaving Canister and Main Unit so that ice does not melt onto surface.
CLEANING and MAINTENANCE
- Make sure the unit is unplugged before cleaning.
- Disassemble unit by removing the Ice Shaving Canister Lid and lifting off the Top Housing.
- Remove all parts of the Ice Shaving Canister.
- Unlock the Ice Feed Insert from the Ice Shaving Canister by turning Locking Cap counter-clockwise.
- Wash all parts of the Ice Shaving Canister, Plastic Cones, Cone Shelf and Ice Scoop by hand with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a non abrasive cloth.
- Wipe down the inside of the Main Unit with a dry, non-abrasive cloth.
- The blade is very sharp. Use EXTREME CAUTION when handling the appliance during cleaning.
- Keep Top Housing away from water. NEVER wash Top Housing with water or damp cloth. Only use a dry cloth on the Top Housing.
- Make sure to clean and dry the unit before and after each use.
