the rating label, which should remain on the unit.
2. Remove and hand wash the tank, auger, tank drip tray, and cup drip
tray/coaster.
3. Wipe down the unit housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the
unit in water or other liquids. Never use abrasive cleaning agents, which
can damage the fi nish.
4. Assemble the handle: Slide the handle onto its stalk, then snap into place.
Once assembled, the handle cannot be removed from the stalk.

Quick Start: How to Make a Slushy
1. Ensure the tank drip tray is in place and pushed all the way in. Install
the auger, making sure the end is completely seated on the point of the
cooling cylinder.
STEP 1
STEP 2
2. Slide the tank on over the auger, pushing it all the way in. Lock it in place
with the tank locking lever.
10
Quick Start: How to Make a Slushy
3. Plug in the unit. Pour your slushy mixture into the tank through the tank fi ll
hatch. Make sure the mixture is between the MIN and MAX markings on
the tank. For the fastest processing, prechill the ingredients. CAUTION: Do
NOT fi ll the tank with only water, which can damage the machine.
STEP 3
STEP 4
4. Use the preset selection buttons to choose your slushy type. The preset
will automatically choose the typical thickness, although you can modify
it with the Thickness +/- buttons—a lower temperature means a thicker
drink. Alternatively, choose Custom, then use the Thickness +/- buttons
to select the thickness manually.
11
Quick Start: How to Make a Slushy
5. Press START/STOP. The unit will
begin chilling and mixing the
slushy mixture. The time depends
on your chosen presets and the
temperature of your ingredients,
but usually ranges between
19 and 25 minutes. NOTE:
Occasionally you may notice
that when the slushy maker
is close to reaching its target
temperature, it suddenly drops
very low and then quickly climbs
back up. This is normal.
6. When the slushy is ready, the
unit will beep, and the Ready
light will illuminate. Place a cup
under the nozzle and gently pull
down the dispenser to serve the
slushy. NOTE: When dispensing,
pull from the entire length of
the lever. Pulling just from the
end of the lever can damage
it, especially with very thick
slushies. If the slushy is so thick
that it won’t come out, run the
unit on the cleaning cycle for a
few minutes, which will raise the
temperature just enough to let
it dispense.
STEP 5
STEP 6
7. After the slushy is ready, the unit will hold the mixture in the tank at the
fi nal temperature for up to 4 hours (the timer will count up the time).
The auger will continue to rotate to keep the slushy well mixed. You can
continue to dispense slushies throughout this holding period, though the
slushy will be at its thickest immediately after it’s ready. NOTE: To preserve
the life of the compressor, we don’t recommend running the unit beyond
this 4-hour holding period.

Slushy Inspiration
As the presets suggest, you can make a fantastic slushy with just one ingredient:
beer, wine, soft drinks, fruit juice, etc. But you can have even more fun by creating
your own custom mixes to slush-ify. (Take a look at Slushy Science on p. 14
for tips on getting the right temperature and proportions, and advice about
what to adjust if it’s not quite perfect the fi rst time.) Here are a few tasty ideas
to get you started:
Margarita
In a large measuring cup, combine 3 cups limeade, 1 cup tequila, ¾ cup water,
½ cup orange juice, ½ cup simple syrup, and 3 Tbsp. fresh lime juice. Add
to the slushy maker tank. Process on the Cocktail setting. Dispense into a
margarita glass with a salted rim, and garnish with a slice of lime.
Variation: For a spicy margarita, use a jalapeno-infused simple syrup, serve
in a glass rimmed with tajin (chili-salt) and garnish with a slice of jalapeño.
13
Slushy Inspiration
Strawberry Frosé
In a large measuring cup, combine
4 cups rosé wine, 1 cup water, ½ cup
strawberry purée and ¼ cup triple
sec. Stir until well mixed, then add to
the slushy maker tank. Process on the
Wine setting. Serve in a wine glass,
garnished with a strawberry.
Frozen Latte
In a large measuring cup, combine
3 ¾ cups cold-brew coffee, 1½ cups
whole milk, ¾ cup heavy cream and
½ cup sugar. (For a stronger coffee
fl avor, reduce the amount of cream
and add more cold brew). Stir until
well mixed, then add to the slushy
maker tank. Process on the Custom
setting at 29-29.8°F. Dispense into
a glass and garnish with whipped
cream, if desired.
Blue Raspberry Slushy
In a large measuring cup, combine
4 cups water, 1 cup raspberry simple
syrup, and 12 drops blue food
coloring. Stir until well mixed, then
add to the slushy maker tank. Process
on the Juice setting. Dispense into a
tall glass and garnish with a cherry.

Slushy Science:
Getting the Perfect Thickness
The three factors that affect the thickness of your slushy are temperature, sugar
content, and alcohol content (if making an alcoholic slushy). Whether you
choose a preset or use the Custom program, you can manually control your
slushy’s thickness, which lets you experiment with your ingredients.
Temperature
The lower the temperature, the thicker the slushy. This is why when you press the
plus (+) thickness control button, the number on the display (the temperature)
goes down. Slushies are at their thickest immediately after the cycle ends, so if
a batch comes out too thick, let it hold for several minutes, then try dispensing
again. If a batch is too thin, try increasing the thickness and run the cycle again.
If adjusting the temperature doesn’t give you the consistency you want, the next
step is to play with your ingredients…
Sugar Content
Sugar is essential for making your mixture freeze into a slushy rather than a
block of ice. Your mixture should be at least 4% sugar to make a successful
slushy. As a general guideline for packaged ingredients, the “Total Sugars” listed
on the nutrition facts label should be 1 g of sugar for every 1 oz of serving size. If it
lists less than that, add granulated sugar (make sure it’s fully dissolved), simple
syrup, agave nectar, honey, maple syrup, soda, or fruit juice. Allulose can also
be used as a sugar substitue; however it is the ONLY sugar substitute that works.
Diet sodas and flavored unsweetened waters will ALWAYS need sugar or allulose
added to successfully freeze. (As an example, for 1½ L of diet soda, add 5 Tbsp
of allulose).
Keep in mind that freezing mutes flavors, so adding a bit of sweetness is also
a good way to make the flavor pop, even if the thickness is fine.
Alcohol Content
Alcohol inhibits freezing, which means if your mixture has too much alcohol—
more than 16%—the slushy will be too thin or won’t freeze at all. Beers, hard
seltzers, most wines, and cocktails made following the instructions of bottled
mixes are all under this limit. Fortified wines (such as port) and very strong
cocktails are not. To adjust the alcohol content, dilute the mixture with any
non-alcoholic liquid: water, juice, cocktail mixer, soda, seltzer, etc.

Keep It Clean
The automatic cleaning cycle makes it easy to keep your unit in top condition.
Perform this cleaning cycle after each use of the slushy maker:
1. Remove the tank and empty any remaining slushy. Remove and rinse off
the auger.
2. Reinstall the auger on the unit, then reinstall the tank, making sure to lock
it in place with the locking lever.
3. Add water to the tank up to the MAX fill line. Add a few drops of
dishwashing liquid.
4. On the control panel, select Clean, then press START/STOP.
5. The auger will swish soapy water around the tank while the timer counts
down the time of the cleaning cycle. When the cycle is finished, the unit
will beep and the Ready light will illuminate.
6. Unlock and remove the tank. Discard the soapy water and rinse the tank
and auger thoroughly, then dry with a soft cloth.
7. Wash the tank drip tray, cup drip tray, and coaster with mild soap, then
rinse and dry thoroughly.
8. All removable parts are also top-rack dishwasher safe.
9. Be sure the parts are completely dry before reassembling for storage.

Having Trouble?
Problem Potential Cause Solution
Auger is making a loud noise. Low sugar content of
slushy mixture causes the
evaporator to freeze or
temperature is set too low.
Add sugar, syrup, etc. to slushy
mixture (see p. 14 for other
ingredients containing sugar).
Auger scrapes the inside of
the tank or flings liquid onto
the sides.
Auger could need cleaning
or be deformed.
Remove, clean and re-install
auger. If the issue persists,
check to see if the auger is
dented, warped, or chipped.
If so, contact Iceman Customer
Support for a replacement
auger.
“OP” shows on display Auger or tank may not be
properly installed or locked.
Ensure auger is properly
installed. Remove and re-
install tank and lock. If the
issue persists, contact Iceman
Customer Support.
E1 shows on display Sensor is short-circuited. Power the unit off and on again.
If the problem persists, contact
Iceman Customer Support.
E2 shows on display There is an issue with the
sensor.
Power the unit off and on again.
If the problem persists, contact
Iceman Customer Support.
E3 shows on display Motor is blocked or Hall
