OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure the machine is installed on a sturdy, level and waterproof surface.
2. Do not use the ice block directly from the freezer; the shaved ice will not be fluffy and can
cause excessive wear to your blade. Allow ice to soften ½ hour prior to shaving.
3. Pull and turn the main shaft locking knob so that you can raise the main shaft by turning the
handwheel. Once the ice block holder is raised upward, return the locking knob to the "LOCK"
position.
4. Open the front shield by releasing the safety latch and pulling forward.
5. Place a square or cylindrical ice block on the shaving platter, centering the block.
6. Place the locking knob to the free position and lower the main shaft by turning the hand wheel
until the spikes are imbedded in the ice.
7. Close the front shield (make sure the main power switch is turned "OFF") and reattach the
safety latch, locking the front and rear shields together.
8. Turn the Shaving Pressure Knob clockwise until it comes to a stop.
9. Turn "ON" the main power switch. The motor will not run if the front shield is open or not
properly closed.
10. Slowly turn the knob, located below the shaving platter, until you get the fineness of shaved
ice you desire.
SHAVING PRESSURE KNOB (located on front of machine)
1. This knob adjusts the amount of pressure which is applied downward onto the block of ice.
Turning the knob clockwise will increase the amount of shaved ice produced and will vary
the texture from very fine to coarse as the pressure is being applied.
2. When you need to raise and lower the main shaft, release the pressure by turning the
knob counterclockwise.
SHAVING TEXTURE KNOB (located on the underside of the blade platter)
1. Lower the shaver blade before adding the block of ice to the shaving platter. If the blade is
too high it could accidentally release the block out of the holder.
2. For coarse shaved ice, turn the knob clockwise. For finer shaved ice, turn the knob
counterclockwise.
