GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Ice Requirements

The Shav A Doo can take ice cubes small or medium in size. If using a block of ice, break into pieces
approximately 3 to 4 inches in size. The ice will not enter the shaving chute if the pieces are too large.

Note: Harder ice will result in finer snow, while soft ice will result in coarser snow.

To Operate the Shav-A-Doo

1. Load hopper with Ice.

2. Close pusher handle, and apply gentle downward pressure.

3. Turn on the power switch.

4. Press and hold in the “Push to shave ice” button. Release the button once all of the ice has been shaved.

5. Do not lift the pusher handle until the motor is off and the shaver head has stopped.

Note: Never allow any foreign or metallic objects around the shaver area. Ice picks, scoops, and

debris in the ice will damage blades.
