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, including these important safeguards and the care and use
instructions in this manual.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs and hot pads or oven mitts.

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

before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.

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

• 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 Electrics may
cause injuries.

• 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.

• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric

parts in water or other liquids.

• Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.

• Longer extension cords are available, but care must be excersized 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.

• Use an electrical outlet that accommodates the polarized plug on the appliance.
On a polarized plug, one blade of the plug is wider than the other. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet or extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug
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.

• For household use only.

OOL & EASY TREATS

SUPER SNOW CONES – Shave ice directly into Snow Cone Cups. Mound tops

with additional “Snow” if desired. Dispense your favorite Back To Basics® Flavored
Syrup directly on top of the shaved ice. Combine different syrups to create your own
unique flavors. Because the shaved ice is so snowy fine, it absorbs the flavored
syrup instead of it running to the bottom. This gives you a truly intense flavor
sensation, all the way through! TIP: Use flavored ice cubes for unique snow cone
tastes. Freeze fruit juice, soda, flavored yogurt, or flavored milk into cubes. Shave
into cups. If desired, use Back To Basics® Syrups for added flavor.

SLUSHES – Place shaved ice into serving cups or glasses. Add just enough Back
To Basics® Flavored Syrup to totally absorb into the shaved ice. Try one of the
following variations for a delicious, cool and refreshing treat. Garnish with 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 flavoring. Add a middle layer of ice; add a different
flavoring. Add a top layer of ice and another flavoring. Garnish with fruit or paper
umbrellas. A great party treat!

FRUIT WONDERS – Mix shaved ice with fruit juice and either canned or fresh fruits.
Try orange and pineapple juice with bananas. A great way to start the day or as an
afternoon pick-me-up!

OTHER SHAVED ICE USES

Shaved ice is a great base when used in other blended drinks and smoothies.
Combine with fruit, yogurt, or juices for great tasting and healthy treats.

Fresh shaved ice makes a great ice bed for seafood appetizers, such as shrimp
cocktail.
