The slushie machine comes mostly assembled, with minor assembly required to make the machine ready for
operation. Some machine may include spare seals and seal lubricant (shown below), which can be installed
as required (see Maintenance).
It is strongly recommended that you familiarise yourself with all major components of the machine before
using it or performing any maintenance tasks.
Products detailed in this manual may vary in appearance, inclusions, description and packaging
from those shown or described. This section shows typical major components common to most
slushie machines.
The machine requires installation of the dispenser mechanisms and drip trays only. Before assembly, unpack
all items.
After assembly, the machine must be cleaned before being put into use (see Cleaning).
1. Position the machine with a gap of at least 30cm (12”) behind and to
the sides of it. This is to allow adequate ventilation and prevent
overheating of the machine.
2. See Fig. 1. Smear a small amount of food grade silicone lubricant onto
the dispenser plunger (1) O-ring (2). Check that the plug (3) at the
bottom of the dispenser plunger is fully seated (the plug does not
require lubricant).
3. See Fig. 2. For each tank, place a plunger spring (4) on the top of the
dispenser plunger (3). Ensure that the recess (A) in the plunger is facing
forward (the handle hooks into this), then push the plunger and spring into the
tank dispenser housing (5).
4. See Fig. 3. Whilst holding the plunger assembly in position, bring the handle
into position – the hook part of the handle (B) fits into the recess in the
plunger.
5. Secure the handle by pushing the handle pivot pin (6) through the flange on
the tank dispenser housing, through the handle and out again through the
opposite flange on the tank dispenser housing.
6. Perform steps 2 to 6 for each tank.
7. See Fig 4. Hook the drip tray (7) to the slots in the machine body (C).
8. Ensure that the drip tube (8) is in the drip tray, then place the tray cover (9) on to the drip tray.
10. See Fig. 5. Place the tank cover (10) into
position on the top of the tank.
11. Plug the tank cover cable (D) to the connector at
the rear of the machine.
12. Perform steps 11 to 12 for each tank.
Operation
Using the Tank Controls for Slush and Juice Modes
The machine has control panel on the side that allows you to individually
control each tank as required. There are two basic modes of operation:
•Juice Mode – Cools the drink solution, however, not to the point of
making ice.
•Slush Mode – Cools the drink solution to the point of being ice.
For each tank, there is a switch panel. When a switch is placed in the ON
position, the red lamp on the switch illuminates. For each set of switches,
the tank that they apply to is labelled next to the switches. The
configuration of switches determine the tank function, as follows:
Always place the beater switch in the ON position for either juice or slush mode. • For Slushmode,
place the slush mode switch in the ON position and the juice mode switch in the OFF position. • For Juice mode, place the slush mode switch in the OFF position and the juice mode switch in the ON
position.
The machine compressor (cooling unit) and tank cover lights for all tanks are controlled by a single set of
“master” switches at the bottom of the control panel. When a switch is placed in the ON position, the red
lamp on the switch illuminates.
Note: The factory settings should be suitable for most uses. Adjust the thermostats only if required. If you
adjust the thermostat, it is recommended to monitor the change – is the solution at the right temperature? –
and adjust until the desired result is reached.
Each tank has a thermostat for setting the
“coldness” of the drink solution. Depending on
ambient temperatures (climate or operating
environment temperature), drink solution etc, the
coldness of the tanks may need adjusting for the
desired coldness and consistency of slush ice and
coldness of juice etc.
The tank thermostats (1) are located on the control
panel side of the machine, behind the plastic guard
(2). Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the
screw (3) fastening the guard. Gently pull the guard
out from the bottom edge until it unhooks from the
machine. The lower control is for the right-side tank,
the middle control is for the left-side tank on 2-tank
models or the middle tank for 3-tank models, the
upper control is for the left-side tank on 3-tank models. Left to right is taken when looking at the front of the
machine.
Rotate the thermostat knob as required – rotate right (clockwise) to increase coldness; rotate left (anticlockwise) to reduce coldness. It is recommended to not change the thermostat setting too much in a single
adjustment – make small changes and monitor the result. When finished adjusting, re-install the plastic
guard.
Filling the Tanks
Ensure that the drink solution is less than 35°C (95°F) when filling the tanks otherwise machine
damage may result. • Always mix the drink solution so that is a minimum of 13% sugar (ratio
approximately 6.5 parts water to 1 part sugar), otherwise the consistency of slush ice will be
incorrect and damage to machine may result. • Never allow the level of the drink solution to remain below the
minimum level or above the maximum level as machine damage may result. Failure to carry out the
procedures correctly may result in making the product warranty void.
1. Thoroughly mix the drink solution according to its instruction. Mix in a
container that is clean and suitable for handling food and drink for human
consumption.
2. Switch OFF the slush or juice mode switch and beater for the tank before
refilling. If you are filling all tanks, turn OFF the compressor using the “master”
switch.
3. Switch OFF the tank lights.
4. Unplug and remove the tank cover.
5. Carefully pour the mixture into the tank. Do not fill to less than the
“MIN LEVEL” indicator or over the “MAX LEVEL” indicators on the
front of the tank.
6. When finished filling, place the tank cover in position and re-connect
the cable. Reconnect the machine to the electricity supply if
previously unplugged. Switch ON the slush or juice mode switch and
beater for the tank or at the “master” switch. Switch ON the tank
lights.
The mixer speed controls the “thickness” of the drink solution in slush mode. The
faster the speed, the “thinner” the slush mixture; the slower the speed, the
“thicker” the slush mixture.
To adjust beater speed, use a flat blade screwdriver to rotate the adjustment
screw (A) at the rear of the tank as required. Rotate the screw to the right
(clockwise) to increase mixing speed and create a thinner slush consistency.
Rotate left (anti-clockwise) to decrease mixing speed and create a thicker slush
consistency. The relative speed is shown by the indicator (B) below the screw.
Note: Mixing speed adjustment should not be required for juice mode operation.
Emptying Drip Trays
Drip trays require regular emptying as a result of spillage, dripping etc. The drip
tray has a small coloured float (A) – when it protrudes from the drip tray, the tray
must be emptied. To remove a drip tray, unhook it from the slots in the machine.
To re-install a drip tray (1), hook it to the slots in the machine body (B). Ensure
that the drip tube (2) is in the drip tray, then place the tray cover (3) on top of the
drip tray.
Failure to follow the recommended maintenance schedule may lead to conditions or damage
that will void any product warranty.
The following schedule must be followed in order to keep the machine running efficiently and to maximise its
service life.
• Clean the tanks every week whilst the machine is in use.
• Check seals and O-rings during each tank clean – always replace worn or damaged seals.
• Clean the cooling fan and compressor heat exchanger at least once every 6 months.
• Always ensure there is at least 30cm (1’) behind and to the sides of the machine for ventilation.
Cleaning
Clean all machine components that come into contact with the drink solution with mild detergent or
food grade disinfectant and clean water. This must be done before first use and on a weekly basis
when the machine is in use. Cleaning should also be performed before placing the machine in
storage, and when commissioning the machine after being in storage. • When cleaning, do not immerse the
tank cover or any electrical components in water. • Do not use solvents, harsh detergents or abrasives for
cleaning as these may damage the machine. • The seal lubricant should be a food grade silicone type.
1. Switch OFF the slush or juice mode switch and beater for the tank before
cleaning. If you are cleaning all tanks, turn OFF the compressor using the
“master” switch and unplug the machine from the electricity supply.
2. Switch OFF the tank lights.
3. Disconnect the tank cover cable from the connector at the rear of the
machine.
4. Remove the tank cover. If the cover requires cleaning, use a damp cloth to
clean its surfaces. Clean the surface that sits above the drink solution
first. Do not immerse the tank cover in water.
5. Unhook and remove the drip tray.
6. Use the dispenser tap to drain the tank of any remaining drink solution.
Drain the liquid into a suitable container.
7. Fill the tank with hot (not boiling), clean water, then drain completely.
8. See Fig 7. Lift the front of the tank (1) enough for it to clear the lip at the
front of the machine (A) then gently pull it from the machine.
9. See Fig 8. Gently pull the beater (2) from its driveshaft
(3), then slide it off the cooling drum (4).
10. See Fig 9. Pull the driveshaft seal (5) from the end of the
beater (it may have remained attached to the end of the
driveshaft). Pull the tank seal (6) from the end of the
cooling drum. Inspect both seals for wear or damage
and replace if necessary.
11. See Fig 10. Pull the handle pivot pin (7) from the tank and remove it and
the handle (8). The dispenser plunger (9) should drop from the tank
dispenser housing – if it remains in place, use an object to push it down
from the hole (B) at the top of the housing. Remove the O-ring (10) and
rubber end plug (11) from the plunger for cleaning. Inspect the O-ring and
rubber end plug for wear or damage and replace if necessary
12. Thoroughly clean all tank parts in warm, clean water and food grade
disinfectant or mild detergent, then rinse several times with hot water.
Note: Do not use solvents, harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. • When
cleaning in a sink, use the sink plug or a strainer to prevent losing small
parts through the drain hole.
13. Use paper towel to wipe away any residual lubricant on the cooling drum
where the seals are located (around the mixer driveshaft and back of the
cooling drum).
14. Using warm water and a clean cloth, thoroughly clean the cooling drum
and the machine body beneath the tanks.
15. Clean the drain tube using a suitable pipe cleaner or similar. Additionally, hot (not boiling) water can be
poured through the tubes to aid cleaning. Pour through the hole in the machine beneath the front of each
tank and use a suitable container to catch the water.
Once all parts are cleaned, rinsed and dry, reassemble
as follows:
1. See Fig 11. Place the tank seal (1) onto the cooling
drum. Ensure that the larger diameter side sits up
against the rear of the cooling drum (2) and that the
seal is properly seated all the way around and is not
twisted.
2. See Fig. 11. Insert the driveshaft seal (3) into the
end of the beater (4).
3. See Fig 12. Smear a small amount of food grade silicone lubricant onto the
cooling drum where the beater driveshaft protrudes.
4. See Fig 13. Slide the beater (4) onto the cooling drum (2). Ensure that the flat
part of the beater driveshaft (5) fits correctly into the end of the beater,
otherwise it will not install fully. When installing the beater, when it reaches the
end of the driveshaft, rotate it until you feel it engage with the “flat” (A) on the
driveshaft. Once the beater and driveshaft are properly aligned you will be able
to slide the beater fully into position. Do not force the beater on as this may
damage it. When properly installed, the driveshaft seal should be up against
the cooling drum.
5. See Fig 14. Smear a small amount of food
grade silicone lubricant all the way around
the end of the tank, where it comes into
contact with the tank seal.
6. See Fig 15. Slide the tank (6) over the
beater and cooling drum. Ensure it fits
snugly over the tank seal without pinching.
When fully seated, place a little downward
pressure at the front of the tank so that it
“clips” into position over the lip (A) at the front of the machine.
7. See Fig 16. Smear a small amount of food
grade silicone lubricant onto the dispenser
plunger (7) O-ring (8) and the sealing plug
(2) at the bottom of the dispenser plunger
(3).
8. See Fig. 17. Place the plunger spring (10) on the top of the dispenser plunger (7). Ensure that the recess
(B) in the plunger is facing forward (the handle hooks into this), then push
the plunger and spring into the tank dispenser housing (11).
9. See Fig. 18. Whilst holding the plunger assembly in position, bring the
handle into position – the hook part of the handle (C) fits into the plunger
recess. Secure the handle by pushing the handle pivot pin (12) through the
flange on the tank dispenser housing, through the handle and out again
through the opposite flange on the tank dispenser housing.
10. See Fig 19. Hook the drip tray (19) to the slots in the machine body (D).
11. Ensure that the drip tube (20) is in the drip tray, then place the tray cover (21) on to the drip tray.
12. See Fig. 20. Place the tank cover (22) into
position on the top of the tank.
13. Plug the tank cover cable (E) to the connector at the rear of the machine.
Every 6 months, clean the cooling fan and
compressor heat exchanger fins of dirt and
dust to ensure best cooling efficiency of the
machine. Clean as follows:
1. Turn OFF the machine and disconnect it
from the electricity supply.
2. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove
the screws (1) fastening the plastic guards
(2) on either side of the machine. Gently
pull the guard out from the bottom edge until it unhooks from the machine.
3. Use a soft brush (such as a paintbrush) to remove any built up dust and dirt from the compressor cooling
fan (3) (this is located on the control panel side) and heat exchanger (4). When cleaning the heat
exchanger, brush up and down the fins, not across them.
4. When finished, re-install the plastic guards and secure with the screws. Do not over-tighten the screws.
Seal Replacement
Seals are essential to correct operation of the slushie machine. Leaks from the drink dispensers or the drip
tube is filling the drip tray often indicates faulty seals. Dispenser leaks indicate the dispenser O-ring may
need replacing. Excessive liquid through the drip tube indicates the tank seal may need replacing.
