Quick Start: How to Make a Slushy
1. Keep the unit in an upright position for at least 2 hours before starting.
Ensure the tank drip tray is pushed all the way in. Slide the auger onto the
cooling cylinder, rotating the auger until it fully seats itself on the pin of the
cooling cylinder (the metal point of the cylinder will be flush with the front
of the auger).

STEP 1
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 and press the Power button. NOTE: the unlocked tank icon
will display and the unit will beep if the tank is not locked into place. Open
the tank fill hatch and pour your slushy mixture into the tank. Make sure
the mixture is between the MIN and MAX markings on the tank. Be sure
slushy mixture is cool or room temperature. For the fastest processing,
prechill the ingredients. CAUTION: Do NOT fill the tank with only water,
which can damage the machine.
STEP 3
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. (See chart on p. 12 for our
recommendations of the best thicknesses for popular drinks).
11
Quick Start: How to Make a Slushy
5. Press Start. The unit will begin
chilling and mixing the slushy
mixture. The chilling time
depends on your chosen preset,
as well as the volume and
temperature of your ingredients,
but usually ranges between 30
and 40 minutes.
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. The unit will hold the
slushy at the final temperature
for up to 12 hours, while the auger
rotates to keep it well mixed.
You can continue to dispense
slushies throughout this holding
period, but if you use the Shake
or Frappe preset, it's best to
dispense right away because the
mixture will get foamy if it holds
too long in the tank. DO NOT turn
off the unit until all of the slushy is
dispensed.
STEP 4
NOTE: The slushy will be at its thickest immediately after it’s ready. If
the slushy is so thick that it won’t come out, you can simply wait a few
minutes, or for faster thinning, press the Defrost button and let it run for a
few minutes. When the slushy reaches your desired thickness, press the
original preset button and reduce thickness by one or two notches on the
display, then press Start.

Slushy Science:
Getting the Perfect Thickness
Three factors affect the thickness of your slushy: temperature, sugar content,
and alcohol content (for alcoholic slushies). Though presets have a set thickness,
you can manually adjust it, which lets you experiment with ingredients.
Temperature
The slushy maker's target temperature is represented on the control panel
by thickness bars. The more bars, the lower the temperature and the thicker
the slushy. Slushies are at their thickest immediately after the cycle ends, so
if a batch is too thick, let it run on Defrost for a few minutes, then return to the
preset but adjust the thickness down by a notch or two. If it’s too thin, increase
the thickness and run the cycle again. If these adjustments don’t give you the
thickness 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 solid ice. Since freezing mutes flavors, sugar is is also a good way to
make the flavor pop, even if the thickness is fine. Your mixture must be at least
4% sugar to successfully slush. For bottled ingredients, the “Total Sugars” listed
on the nutrition label should be 1 g of sugar for every 1 oz of serving size. Allulose
syrup can also be used, but it is the ONLY sugar substitute that works. Diet sodas
and unsweetened drinks will ALWAYS need sugar or allulose added. Slushies with
allulose generally need a slightly lower thickness than those with sugar.
Add Sugar Warning: If the unit detects that the mixture is freezing too quickly, the
Add Sugar warning light will illuminate and the unit will beep every 10 seconds.
To correct it, dispense all of the mixture into a bowl, whisk in granulated sugar
(make sure it's fully dissolved), simple syrup, agave nectar, honey, maple syrup,
a sweetened beverage, or allulose syrup. Then return the mixture to the tank and
restart the unit on the chosen preset.
If the cycle continues running with no sugar added, the Overfreeze error light will
illuminate and the unit will automatically go into Defrost mode. After 10 minutes,
you'll be able to restart the freeze cycle with your original preset, but be sure to
add some form of sugar (see above) before restarting.
14
Slushy Science: Getting the Perfect Thickness
Sweetener Guidelines
Use this chart to determine how much sugar or allulose needs to be in your
slushy mixture per serving.
Serving Size Minimum Total Sugar
OR Minimum Added
Allulose Syrup
8 oz 8 g ½ Tbsp
12 oz 11 g 1 Tbsp
20 oz 18 g 1 ½ Tbsp
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.
Hard Alcohol/Spirit Guidelines
Use this chart to determine how much hard alcohol (rum, vodka, etc.) to add
for frozen cocktails. The rest of the recipe should be made up of non-alcoholic
liquids. Wine can be used in larger proportions, while beer and hard seltzer can
be used on their own (refer to page 12 for examples).
Total Recipe Volume Maximum Hard Alcohol Volume
3 cups ½ cup
4 ½ cups ¾ cup
6 cups 1 ¼ cups
15
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. Dispense any remaining slushy from the tank.
2. Add a few drops of dishwashing liquid to the tank, then add water up to
the MAX fill line.
3. On the control panel, select Clean, then press START.
4. The auger will swish soapy water around the tank. When the cycle is
finished, the unit will beep and the Ready light will illuminate.
5. Dispense all of the soapy water into a 2-quart (or larger) container
and discard.
6. Unlock and remove the tank. Wipe down the cylinder with a warm
damp cloth.
7. Rinse the tank and auger thoroughly, then dry with a soft cloth.
8. To remove the dispensing nozzle cover, grasp it at the bottom and pull it
up and away from the nozzle.
9. Wash the tank drip tray, cup drip tray, dispensing nozzle cover, and
coaster with mild soap, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
10. While the dispensing nozzle's cover is still off, wipe down the nozzle with a
damp paper towel.
11. All removable parts are also top-rack dishwasher safe. If washing the tank
in the dishwasher, be sure to use a setting without a heated dry cycle.
12. Be sure the parts are completely dry before reassembling for storage.

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. 13
for tips on getting the right temperature and proportions, and advice about
what to adjust if it’s not quite perfect the first time.) Here are a few tasty ideas
to get you started:
Margarita
In a large measuring cup or pitcher, combine 4 cups limeade, 1½ cups tequila,
1 cup water, 2/3 cup orange juice, 2/3 cup simple syrup, and ¼ cup fresh lime
juice. Add to the slushy maker tank. Process on the Cocktail setting, adjusting
the thickness to 5 bars. 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.
17
Slushy Inspiration
Strawberry Frosé
In a large measuring cup, combine
5 cups rosé wine, 1½ cups water, 1 cup
strawberry purée and the juice from
1 lime (about 2 Tbsp). Stir until well
mixed, then add to the slushy maker
tank. Process on the Cocktail preset
with thickness adjusted to 5 bars.
Serve in a wine glass, garnished with
a strawberry.
Frozen Latte
In a large measuring cup, combine
4 ½ cups cold-brew coffee, 2½ cups
whole milk, 1 cup heavy cream and
2/3 cup sugar. (For a stronger coffee
flavor, reduce the amount of cream
and add more cold brew). Stir until
well mixed, then add to the slushy
maker tank. Process on the Frappe
setting at 5 bars thickness. Dispense
into a glass and garnish with
whipped cream, if desired.
Blue Raspberry Lemonade Slushy
In a large measuring cup or pitcher,
combine 1 64-oz bottle of lemonade
and 1 packet unsweetened Kool-Aid
Blue Raspberry Lemonade. Stir until
well mixed, then add to the slushy
maker tank. Process on the Slushy
setting with thickness adjusted to
1 bar. Dispense into a tall glass and
garnish with a cherry.
18
Having Trouble?
NOTE: Several problems are indicated by the Error light and a certain number
of thickness bars.
Problem Potential Cause Solution
Slushy is too thin. Slushy is too warm or
contains too much alcohol,
fat, or sugar.
Increase the thickness by one or two
notches and continue to run for 10 to
20 minutes. If the mixture contains
alcohol, it may need to be diluted with
nonalcoholic ingredients. If it does not
contain alcohol, add a little water or
another low-fat/low-sugar ingredient.
Slushy is too thick or not
dispensing well.
Slushy is too cold. Run the Defrost function for a few
minutes until slushy thins, then return to
the preset and lower the thickness by a
notch or two.
Slushy tank overflows
when using dairy
ingredients or beer.
These beverages produce
foam during mixing, which
can add to overall volume.
When using these ingredients, fill the
tank to no more than 48 oz. (6 cups) the
first time you try a recipe.
Unlocked tank warning
displays and unit is
beeping, even though the
tank is locked in place.
A damaged tank is
preventing the unit from
recognizing that the tank
is installed.
Contact Customer Support.
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 auger is dented, warped, or
chipped, contact Customer Support for
a replacement auger.
Temperature sensor error. Contact Customer Support.
+
Warm or hot liquid added
to the tank.
Empty tank. Be sure to only add cool or
room-temperature liquid to the tank.
+
Compressor is damaged
or other problem with
refrigeration.
Contact Customer Support.
+
Motor is damaged. Contact Customer Support.
+
1. Tank is empty or below
the minimum fill level.
2. Alcohol content is
too high.
1. Be sure the slushy mixture comes at
least to the MIN (16 oz) marking.
2. Be sure to use no more than 16%
alcohol in your slushy mixture.
The unit has detected low
sugar content, which can
cause overfreeze if not
corrected.
Add sugar to bring the ratio up to at
least 4% sugar. See p. 13 for more details.
(overfreeze warning)
Temperature has dropped
too low due to uncorrected
low sugar content.
Unit will automatically switch to defrost
mode. After 10 minutes you can restart
your original preset, but be sure to add
sugar to the mixture first (see p. 13).
