Setting Up Your SMARTOOL Slush Machine for the First Time

Welcome to the world of delicious frozen drinks! Your new SMARTOOL Slush Machine is a fantastic addition to any business. This guide will help you set it up correctly to ensure optimal performance and a long lifespan for your machine.

Step 1: Unboxing and Inspection

The first step is to carefully unbox your machine and inspect it for any potential damage during shipping.

• Place the box on a level surface and open it.
• Remove all packaging materials, including foam and plastic wrap.
• With assistance, lift the machine onto a sturdy countertop.
• Inspect the exterior for any dents or scratches.
• Check that all components, such as the tanks, augers, and drip trays, are included and undamaged.

If you notice any damage, contact SMARTOOL support before you continue.

Step 2: Cleaning All Components

Before its first use, it is crucial to clean all parts of the slush machine that will come into contact with the product.

1. Disassemble the tanks, lids, augers, and spigots.
2. Wash them in warm, soapy water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratching the plastic.
3. Rinse all parts thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue.
4. Allow all components to air dry completely before reassembling.

Important: The base of the machine contains electrical components and should never be immersed in water. Wipe it down with a damp cloth.

Step 3: Assembling the Machine

Once all the parts are clean and dry, you can assemble your SMARTOOL Slush Machine.

• Place the drip tray at the front of the machine.
• Carefully place the tanks onto the base unit, ensuring they are seated correctly.
• Insert the augers into the tanks.
• Attach the spigots to the front of the tanks.
• Place the lids on top of the tanks.

Step 4: Choosing the Right Location

The location of your slush machine can affect its performance and longevity.

• Choose a well-ventilated area with at least 8 inches (20 cm) of clearance on all sides to ensure proper airflow for the condenser.
• The countertop should be strong enough to support the weight of the machine when it is full.
• Avoid direct sunlight and other sources of heat, as this can make it harder for the machine to freeze the product.

Step 5: Preparing Your First Batch

Now you are ready to make your first batch of slush!

1. Prepare your slush mix according to the manufacturer’s instructions. It is important to get the sugar-to-water ratio correct, as this affects the freezing process.
2. Pour the mix into the tanks. Do not overfill; respect the maximum fill line indicated on the tank.
3. Turn on the machine using the control panel. You can typically choose between a freezing mode and a chilling mode.
4. It will take some time for the slush to reach the desired consistency. This can vary depending on the ambient temperature and the mix you are using.
