Troubleshooting
Machine does not turn on
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the jug and lid are properly assembled, as many models have safety interlocks.
Ice is not shaving properly
Verify that the jug is correctly seated and the blade is properly attached. Ensure you are using ice cubes or crushed ice and not a solid block. Check for any obstructions around the blade.
Slushie texture is too watery
Use less liquid in your recipe or add more ice. Ensure the ice is shaved to the desired texture mode and blended thoroughly. Allow the shaved ice to sit for a minute before adding liquids.
