IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions
and warnings.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including:

• Read all instructions.

• To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons do not immerse

cord, plugs, or other electric parts in water or other liquids.

• Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children.

• Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool

before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance
malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. For service information see
warranty page.

• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Focus Products Group
International may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

• Do not use this appliance outdoors.

• Do not let cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

• Plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “OFF,” then remove

plug from wall outlet.

• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or

other hot liquids.

• Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

• Longer extension cords are available, but care must be exercised in their use.
While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one,
ensure that the marked electrical rating of the extension cord is equal to or
greater than that of the appliance. If the plug is of the grounded type, the
extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. To avoid pulling, tripping
or entanglement, position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the
edge of the counter, table or other area where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug
in any way.

• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or
extension cord feels hot.

2

• Avoid contact with moving parts.

• Blades are sharp. Use extreme caution during assembly, while operating,

disassembly and cleaning.

• Do not use if blades are broken, cracked or loose.

• Do not leave appliance unattended while it is operating.

• Do not run this appliance continuously for more than 5 minutes as overheating

may occur. Allow motor to cool down before repeat usage.

• Do not run machine without ice in the shaver bowl as damage to appliance may occur.

• Never place fingers or utensils into the feed or discharge areas to reduce the

risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the shaver.

• Always check shaver bowl for presence of foreign objects before using.

• For household use only.

U

SING YOUR ICE SHAVER

1. Fill a standard ice cube tray or the supplied ice cups with water and freeze. Ice
cubes work well in the Ice Shaver but may produce a slightly coarser textured
ice than the ice cup block.

2. Place the shaver bowl on top of the base, aligning the tabs with the slots and
gently press down until the shaver bowl locks into place. Place the collar on top
of the base, align the tab with the crosspiece with the slot at the back
of the shaver and gently press down until the collar locks into place.
To remove, squeeze all 4 tabs and lift.

3. Turn the blade adjustment knob on the side of the base - clockwise (right) for
finer and counterclockwise (left) for coarser shaved ice. Note: Do not change
the knob position while shaving ice.

4. Place prepared ice in the shaver.

5. To use paper or silicone cone cups, pivot the cone cup holder forward under the
shaving blade, or place a bowl or ice cup on the base to collect the shaved ice.
Note: Pivot the cup holder to the back if using a bowl or ice cup.

6. Place the shaver motor on top of the ice, plug into an electrical outlet, and press
the power button while applying a steady, downward pressure. The motor will
start and ice shaving will begin. To stop shaving, remove hand from power
button.

7. Add your favorite Jelly Belly™ premium syrup, soft drink, or fresh fruit to the
shaved ice and enjoy.

8. Unplug from the power supply immediately after use.

• A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon use due to the

release of manufacturing oils - this is normal.

• Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during use - this is

from the base by squeezing the tabs and lifting up. Take note of the plastic ribs on
the outside of the collar. Match them up with the gaps in the shaver motor and
slide in.

This appliance has no user serviceable parts.

H

ELPFUL HINTS

sit out on your counter to “sweat” for a few minutes or running it briefly under cool
water. This will soften the ice, which makes it easier to shave, produces fluffier
“snow,” and will prevent damage to your shaving blade.

4

• If the “snow” appears powdery, the ice is too cold. If the “snow” is no longer fluffy

with a matte appearance, call Customer Care to order replacement blades.

• When shaving ice, use either the provided molds to make blocks or ice cubes. We

do not advise using chipped or flaked ice, or cocktail ice (holes in it) for shaving.

• When dispensing syrups or other flavors, start by pouring on the widest part of the

cone, then rotate the cone and dispense syrup up towards the middle of the cone.
This will give you the best concentration of flavor throughout the cone.

• When making snow cones, do not compact your ice into the cone or dish. Shaved

ice absorbs flavors better when it is not compacted.

• If freezing a mixture, like syrup and water or juice, remember that freezing reduces

sweetness. Always taste your mixtures before you freeze them. If you feel
something is too sweet, add some lemon juice or another tart juice. If it’s not sweet
enough, add more sweetener.

OOL IDEAS

Here are some suggestions to get you started. Check out our recipe section at
www.westbend.com for more recipe ideas.

Super Snow Cones - Place shaved ice into snow cone cups. Dispense your favorite
Jelly Belly™ premium flavored syrup directly on top of the shaved ice. Combine
different syrups to create your own unique flavors. Because the shaved ice is so
fine, it absorbs the flavored syrup instead of letting it run to the bottom. This gives
you a truly intense flavor sensation, all the way through! Tip: Use flavored ice blocks
for unique snow cone tastes. Freeze fruit juice, soda, flavored yogurt, or flavored
milk into cubes. Shave into cups. If desired, use Jelly Belly™ premium flavored
syrup for added flavor.

Slushes - Place shaved ice into serving cups or glasses. Add just enough Jelly
Belly™ premium flavored syrup to totally absorb into the shaved ice. Try adding one
of the following for a delicious, cool and refreshing treat. Try it with your favorite
sliced or diced fruit.

Soda - Use your favorite variety such as cola, root beer, and fruit flavors. Add a
twist of lemon or lime for an added “burst” of flavor.

Fruit Juices - Natural flavorings that are both tasty and good for you. Try apple,
grape, orange, grapefruit, and cranberry or any combination for a special treat.

Lemonade and Punch-Flavored Drinks - Cool and refreshing flavors are great
for any occasion.

Rainbow Slush - A colorful and fun treat. Place a layer of shaved ice in the bottom
of a tall, parfait style glass; add syrup flavor. Add a middle layer of ice; add a
different syrup flavor. Add a top layer of ice and another syrup flavor. Garnish with
fruit or paper umbrellas. A great party treat!

Sorbets - Blend together ¾ cup of your favorite fruit, mashed or pureed, ½ cup cold
water, and ¼ cup sugar until smooth. Shave 1 block of ice or frozen fruit juice and
then add shaved ice to the blender and blend until smooth.

Ice Cream Snowballs - Shave about  of an ice block into a dish, add a scoop of
sherbet, then cover sherbet with more shaved ice. Add your choice of Jelly Belly™
premium flavored syrup. Mix and match syrup and sherbet flavors to see what
combinations you can create!
