HELPFUL TIPS
Shaving Ice
• For best results, let ice sit in a separate bowl or container for 5-10 minutes
before putting in Ice Shaving Chamber. Ice should not have a frosty
appearance and should be slightly melted before shaving.
• The Pitcher is able to hold more liquid than the uid ounce measurements allow,
but has been marked to prevent spillage resulting from ice shaving volume.
If using the Ice Shaving Chamber, make sure to ll the Pitcher with no more
than 24-ounces of liquid. Exceeding this amount will result in spillage.
• Prior to each use, make sure that Blending Base has been
tightened for optimal shaving results.
• To prolong the life of your MARGARITA & SLUSH MAKER, allow
5 minutes for unit to cool before using again.
• Should the unit operate slowly, turn o the unit and wait 10 minutes for unit to
cool down before operating. Make sure all shaving areas are free of debris.
• DO NOT leave unit running for more than 3 minutes at a time. This is not a commercial unit.
• DO NOT use the Pitcher to blend ice. The Ice Shaving Compartment is for ice shaving.
Odor
As with most modern blending appliances, this unit has a high RPM electric
motor. It is common for the motor to emit a slight graphite or burning odor
for the rst few uses. After the rst few uses, the odor will go away.
Location of Water Reservoir and Cord
The Water Reservoir and cord are located at the back of the Ice Shaving Chamber.
NOTE: Be sure water in Water Reservoir does not exceed the MAX
line. Be sure to empty Water Reservoir after every use.
