HELPFUL TIPS

ICE CUBES

Ice cubes should sit outside of the freezer 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 Canister.

• Place unit on a waterproof surface while in use.

• After you are nished making snow cones, make sure to empty Ice Shaving
