Adjusting Slush Consistency

The machine allows for adjustment of slush consistency. A screw mechanism is typically located on the side of the bowl near the dispensing area.

• Turning towards "-" will result in a softer slush.
• Turning towards "+" will result in a harder slush.

The machine is factory-adjusted for normal fruit granulates. For products containing milk or other ingredients that may take longer to freeze, adjust towards the "+" setting for a firmer consistency.

Mantieni la funzione fredda

This machine features a "Keep Cool" function. After the slush is frozen, the machine can maintain the frozen state without continuous freezing, reducing energy consumption and wear. Refer to the control panel for the specific switch or setting for this function.
