TIMER OPERATION*
Use the timer to start the unit automatically. This feature allows you to
pour the mix in ahead of time and have the slush ready to serve at the
programmed time (unattended operation). The timer determines when
the unit is in standby (night) mode or freeze mode. In standby mode the
mixture is kept cool, but does not freeze.
The unit comes from the factory set for manual (non-timer) operation.
When all of the timer tabs are ipped outward (see diagram, right), the
timer is disabled and the unit will freeze slush any time the refrigeration
switch is set to ON (|).
Setting Up the Timer
1. With the main power switch off, ip the timer tabs next to the time
marks on the timer to either the standby or freeze position. The unit
will operate in the mode selected during the corresponding time
period.
2. Check to make sure the clock is set to the current time, then turn ON
(|) the main power switch.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
• Keep body parts and other items clear of the inside of the mixing bowl when the main power switch is
ON (|). Keep the mixing switch in the OFF () position whenever the mixing bowl lid is removed.
• To prevent damage to the unit and for good results, use only slush mixtures with the required sugar
content (see below). Do not use the machine to freeze water without slush concentrate added. Never
pour hot liquids (above 77°F/25°C) into the mixing bowl. This unit is not for use with milk/dairy based
products.
• Do not ll the mixing bowl higher than the MAX LEVEL indicator.
1. Dilute and mix the slush concentrate with water in a clean container. Follow the concentrate manufacturer’s
directions. THE MIXTURE OBTAINED MUST HAVE A MINIMUM SUGAR CONTENT OF 13°Bx and less than
22°Bx (11 to 20% sugar by weight). The capacity of each mixing bowl is 3 gallons (12 liters).
2. With the mixing switch in the OFF () position, remove the mixing bowl lid from the desired bowl and hang
it on the side. Pour in the mix up to, or below the MAX LEVEL indicator. The minimum level is just above the
plastic mixing auger.
3. Replace the mixing bowl lid.
4. Make sure the main power switch is ON (|). Push (|) on the mixing switch for the desired mixing bowl to turn
on the mixer.
5. Push (|) on the refrigeration switch for the desired mixing bowl to begin freezing. NOTE: On units equipped
with a timer, when the refrigeration switch is in position (|), the unit will freeze the slush mixture provided
the timer is set to freeze for the current time (see Setting the Timer). Standby mode, position (||) on the
refrigeration switch, may be used to put the unit in standby mode manually. This mode saves energy, keeping
the mixture cool without freezing.
6. Once the mixture is frozen (40 to 90 minutes), pull out on the top of the dispenser lever or push the bottom of the lever to dispense.
