GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
EXTENSION CORDS
This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. The
appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding-type plug to fit the proper
grounding-type receptacle. The appliance has a plug that looks like sketch A in Figure 73.1. An
adaptor, sketch B, should be used for connecting sketch-A plugs to two-prong receptacles. The
grounding tab which extends from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box as shown in sketch C using a metal screw.
Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole cord connectors
that accept the plug from the appliance. Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less
than the rating of the appliance. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before
using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cord and do not yank on any cord to
disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges.

1. First, make sure the removable Drip Tray is in place beneath the chute at the front of the
machine.
2. With the machine OFF, open the top lid and load the ice bin with cubed or crushed ice. Do
not overload; make sure the top lid can close and latch.
3. Tilt a cup or cone beneath and in front of the chute. Wrap the flexible plastic catchguard lip
around the base/side of the cup or cone to help direct and collect the maximum amount of
snow/ice.
4. To begin shaving ice, flip the Power switch to the “ON” position. The shaver will begin
producing ice/snow immediately.
Note: The Safety Switch is designed to stop the Motor once the lid’s latch is opened. If, for
any reason, the Motor does not stop, or is able to start when the lid is open, cease production
immediately and consult a qualified repair person.
5. When done with snow cone production, flip the MOTOR switch to the “OFF” position. Use the
top of the chute guard to pack and shape your cone and add liberal amounts of your favorite
syrup. Enjoy!
