USING THE CONTROL PANEL
– Power
– Rinse Cycle
– Presets
– Temperature Control Setting

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

ECIPE NOT SLUSHING?
If your recipe has not reached desired texture after 60 minutes, increase the temperature by one level. Wait 10-15 minutes to test recipe texture. If still not desired, increase by one level again. Repeat until desired texture is achieved.

SLUSH NOT DISPENSING?
For the best dispensing experience, fill the unit to the max fill line and ensure the unit is running. For a smoother dispense experience, decrease the temperature level by pressing the bottom arrow on the control panel. More sippable frozen drinks will dispense smoother.

PRESETS
Each preset will start at a default/optimal temperature for ideal texture.
– Slush
– Spiked Slush
– Frappe
– Milkshake
– Frozen Juice

REQUIRED SUGAR CONTENT
Too little sugar or too much alcohol will prevent proper freezing of a slush output. Follow guidelines below for a perfect slush every time.
All inputs must contain at least 4% sugar.
NOTE: Pre-frozen ingredients taste sweeter. Worried your drink might be too sweet? Don’t worry, it won’t taste as sweet after you freeze and slush it into a frozen drink.

SUGAR GUIDELINES
Refer to drink/liquid nutrition label to ensure sugar content meets the recommended minimums.
– Serving Size / Minimum Total Sugar Amount

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Low-sugar alert:
If the sugar content of the input is too low, the unit will detect it and provide an alert. Temperature Control LEDs will flash one at a time in descending order starting with the top LED, preset LEDS will flash, and the unit will beep every minute for 15 minutes.

If a drink does not meet minimum requirements of total sugar:
Add 1-2 tablespoons flavored syrup, juice, sugar, date sugar, coconut sugar, maple syrup, agave, simple syrup, or honey per serving. Combine additional sugar with the base prior to pouring in unit. Reset the unit by pressing the preset. Restart by pressing the preset again.

NOTE:
Sugar-free substitutes or artifical sweeteners will not aid in meeting total minimum or maximum sugar requirements.

ALCOHOL GUIDELINES
The perfect balance for your favorite frozen cocktails at home. When using the SPIKED SLUSH preset, all premade inputs (wine, beer, etc.) must between 2.8% and 16% alcohol.

HARD ALCOHOL/SPIRIT GUIDELINES
To create frozen cocktails, see chart below for the maximum hard alcohol/spirit (vodka, tequila, etc.) content per total recipe size.
– Total Recipe Size / Maximum Alcohol Amount

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

High-alcohol/high-sugar alert:
If the alcohol and sugar content of the input is too high, the unit will detect it and provide an alert. Temperature Control LEDs will flash one at a time in ascending order starting with the bottom LED, preset LEDS will flash, and the unit will beep every minute for 15 minutes.

If a drink exceeds the maximum alcohol amount:
Add 1/4 cup water; soda; tonic water; seltzer; or plain, chilled coffee/tea per serving to dilute the input. Reset the unit by pressing the preset. Restart by pressing the preset again.
