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.
 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.

 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 3 minutes as overheating

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

 Do not run machine without ice in the auger 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 ice funnel and shaving bowl for presence of foreign objects before

using.

 For household use only.

USING YOUR SNOWBALL MACHINE

1. Slide the ice funnel into the shaving bowl, lining the tabs on the funnel with the
slots in the shaver bowl. Turn the funnel slightly clockwise to lock in place.

2. Place the drip tray into the opening in the shaver body. Slide the snow container
under the blades. Be sure that it is slid all the way to the back of the machine. If
you do not wish to use the snow container, place a wide bowl below the blades,
on the drip tray.

3. Add ice cubes to the ice funnel. Ice funnel can be filled to the top, but the cover
must be able to latch securely, remove ice if cover cannot be latched.

4. Press down on to close the lid on top of the shaving bowl. You will hear a
click.

5. Plug the Ice Shaver into a 120 volt, AC electric outlet only. Press the “On/Off”
switch to “ON” to begin shaving.

6. When shaving is complete, press the “On/Off” switch to “OFF.”

7. Unplug from power supply immediately after use. Note: There will always be a
small amount of ice remaining in the shaving bowl after shaving. Discard the
remaining ice.

CAUTION: Do not run ice shaver continuously for longer than 3 minutes as
overheating may occur. Allow motor to cool down before repeat usage.

 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

normal.

HELPFUL HINTS

 Be sure you have an adequate supply of ice cubes.
 Colder ice produces a more snow-like shaved ice. Ice that is allowed to thaw a

little will create a wetter, heavier shaved ice.

 DO NOT overfill the ice funnel; the cover should sit flush without forcing.

CLEANING YOUR SNOWBALL MACHINE

1. Always unplug appliance before cleaning.

2. Hand wash parts in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. To remove
excess ice from the shaving bowl, remove the drip tray and tip the shaver over a
sink to dump out. CAUTION: Be extremely careful of blades in shaving bowl as
blades are very sharp.

3. Clean exterior of the appliance with a damp, soft cloth and wipe dry. Note: Do
not immerse motor housing in water or other liquid.

NEVER ATTEMPT TO SHARPEN BLADES AS INJURY MAY OCCUR.

This appliance has no user serviceable parts.
