HOW TO OPERATE
1. Place the unit on a stable, water-resistant surface near an electrical outlet before
starting. Make sure the cord is away from any water source. It is acceptable to
use an extension cord if needed. DO NOT plug in the unit at this time.
2. Place the Ice Shaving Chamber into the Motor Housing so it is seated on the
shaft. Twist the shaft in the direction of the arrow to lock into position. Make
sure that the Ice Shaving Chamber is free from any foreign objects.
3. Insert the Mixing Paddle into the slot in the center of the Pitcher.
4. Fill the Pitcher with your favorite beverage, liquor, juice or drink mix.
NOTE: Use the Liquid lines indicated on the side of the pitcher as a guide for

5. Slide Pitcher into place on Base and turn clockwise until it stops. This will allow
the Mixing Paddle to mix ice and ingredients once the operation begins.

and turn counter-clockwise to engage the interlock switch (power ON/OFF).
10. The unit will immediately start and begin shaving the ice.
NOTE: It may be necessary to remove the lid during shaving to redistribute ice.
11. Turn Lid clockwise to stop the FROZEN BEVERAGE STATION from shaving
ice. Stop unit when shaved ice reaches desired "Shaved Ice" level
indicated on the Pitcher. DO NOT shave ice above Max line.

HELPFUL TIPS
CORD LOCATION
• The cord is located at the base of the unit. Turn base
over and slide door open to remove cord.
ICE CUBES
ENGLISH
• Ice cubes should sit 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 Chamber.
SHAVING ICE
If ice is not shaving, try one of the following:
• Turn unit o by removing the Lid. Redistribute ice in Ice Shaving
Chamber. BE CAREFUL to avoid contact with shaving blade.
• Make sure Lid is completely locked in the interlock switch. To start unit,
place the Lid on the unit and turn counter-clockwise to lock in place.
MIXING PADDLE
• If the Mixing Paddle is not turning, make sure the Pitcher has been turned
clockwise on Base until it stops. The Mixing Paddle must be properly axed
to bottom of Pitcher and top of unit in order to mix ice and ingredients.
LEAKING
• It may appear that your FROZEN BEVERAGE STATION is leaking when unshaven
ice melts and drips onto the base. This is normal. Wipe base dry with a soft cloth.
Be sure to use FROZEN BEVERAGE STATION on a water-resistant surface.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
1. After using your FROZEN BEVERAGE STATION, disconnect from electrical
outlet. Remove plug by gripping the plug body and pulling out of
the outlet. Never yank or twist cord to unplug the unit.
2. Thoroughly wash the Lid, Ice Shaving Chamber, Mixing Paddle and Pitcher in warm, soapy
water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. DO NOT place unit or any parts in dishwasher.
Use EXTREME CAUTION when handling this appliance. Keep ngers clear from
blade and avoid contact at all times when using and cleaning
3. Use a damp, non-abrasive cloth to wipe exterior Motor Housing, Base and inside of the
unit. Dry with non-abrasive towel. DO NOT put the Motor Housing or Base in water.
