these simple instructions.

After Taking The Unit Out Of The Box

A. Your OLD FASHIONED CARNIVAL SNOWCONE MAKER  is already fully

assembled. Before first use, lift the removable top off of the body and wipe clean
the inside of the unit with a non-abrasive moist sponge or a non-abrasive towel or

cloth and then wipe with a non-abrasive dry towel.
B. After cleaning the inside, put the top back on the base of the unit.
C. Now you are ready to enjoy cool, refreshing icy snacks from your OLD

FASHIONED CARNIVAL SNOWCONE MAKER .

USING YOUR OLD FASHIONED CARNIVAL SNOWCONE MAKER 

First, find a stable surface near an electrical outlet before starting. (Make sure your cord is
away from any water source. If needed, it is acceptable to use an extension cord.)

1. Before plugging in your unit - to add ice cubes, remove clear top from your OLD

FASHIONED CARNIVAL SNOWCONE MAKER  by turning clockwise, lift and
remove.

HERE’S A TIP
For optimum ice shaving results – your ice cubes should sit a short while before putting

them in the shaving unit. If your ice has a frosty look, it is much too hard to shave. If your
ice sits long enough to look clear and it is wet to the touch, then it is ready to make your
OLD FASHIONED CARNIVAL SNOWCONE MAKER  experience a fun one.

2. Plug in unit with lid in the OFF position.

3. When ice cubes are ready, place cubes in the shaving unit allowing enough room

for lid to be placed back on the unit easily.

4. Return clear lid to unit and turn counter clockwise to the ON position. This will

activate the unit to begin shaving. (To turn “OFF” shaving unit simply turn the lid
clockwise.)

NOTE: “ON” / “OFF” is clearly marked on the lid with directional arrows.

5. Repeat STEPS 3 and 4 until you have shaved the amount of ice desired.

6. Use the shovel to scoop shaved ice from the collection chamber to create your

favorite treats. Maybe from the recipes provided in this guide or use your
imagination and create your own.

Whatever you create, we are sure the OLD FASHIONED CARNIVAL SNOWCONE
MAKER will make it fun for the whole family.
