A certified electrician must furnish sufficient power for proper machine operation and install any
supplied receptacle. We recommend this equipment be on a dedicated and protected circuit.
Failure to wire properly will void the warranty and may result in damage to the machine. It is Gold
Medal Products Co.’s recommendation that this machine be plugged directly into a wall outlet. The
use of extension cords is not recommended due to safety concerns, and may cause sacrificed
and/or reduced performance. Make sure cord is located to prevent a trip hazard or unit upset.
Before You Plug In Machine
. Make sure all machine switches are in the OFF position before plugging the equipment into
the receptacle.
2. Make sure the wall outlet can accept the grounded plugs (where applicable) on the power
supply cord.
3. The wall outlet must have the proper polarity. If in doubt, have a competent electrician
inspect the outlet and correct if necessary.
4. DO NOT use a grounded to un-grounded receptacle adapter (where applicable).
5. Install the unit in a level position.
CAUTION
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Gold Medal Products Co.,
its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Operating Instructions
To Operate the Sno-Konette:
. Fill the hopper to within an inch from the top with ice cubes or block ice (no larger than 3 to 4
inches). The larger the pieces, the better the snow.
2. Switch the motor on, and wait for it to reach full speed (this will take a minute or so).
3. Press the pusher handle down against the ice in the hopper. Apply firm and even pressure to
make the best snow. Practice will enable you to gauge when to stop. This allows the ice to
resettle against the shaver head. You may find that you need to relieve the pressure two or
three times during a cycle. Too much pressure will result in snow that is coarse; too little
pressure will make the snow mushy.
NOTE: Never allow any foreign or metallic objects around the shaver area of the Sno-Konette.
Ice picks, scoops, and debris that may be in the ice often damage blades.
Ice Requirements:
The Sno-Konette can take ice cubes or block ice, if you break the block into pieces
approximately 3 to 4 inches in size.
NOTE: The ice will not enter the shaving chute if the pieces are too large.

Installing New Shaver Blades
WARNING
This machinery contains sharp blades. Keep hands and body parts clear
at all times.
037_103114
The section describes the procedure to replace the shaver blades. ALWAYS turn the machine OFF
and unplug unit from the power supply prior to blade inspection or replacement. Use a flashlight to
examine the blades in the shaver body. If the blades appear to be nicked or bent, then the blades
should be replaced.
Blade Replacement
. With the machine OFF, unplug the unit from the power supply.
2. Remove motor cover (keep all fasteners as they will be used to reinstall the cover).
3. Use a permanent marker and put a guide mark on the motor shaft where the shaver head
stops; also place a small guide mark on the cabinet where the motor sets (reference shaver
cut away view on next page).
4. To remove the shaver head from the motor shaft, loosen the motor mounting bolts. (If unit
has a hopper support and guide, it must also be removed).
5. Pull motor back until the (2) Allen head set screws on the shaver head are visible. Loosen
the (2) set screws (do not remove set screws).
6. Carefully guide the shaver head off of the motor shaft and through the hopper. If the shaver
head is frozen to the shaft, pull the motor back trapping the shaver head against the inside
of the hopper, until the shaver head disengages.
7. After removing the shaver head, check the motor shaft for burrs and corrosion (use a fine
tooth file to remove any burrs or corrosion).
8. Remove blades from shaver head. Replace old blades with a new set (blades may be re-
sharpened).
9. Position new blades on shaver head and insert blade mounting screws until finger tight.
0. Set the blade thickness to /32” using a height gauge (thickness of a dime), reference Set
Blade Height illustration shown on next page. Make sure the blade height is even across the
shaver head.
. Tighten the blade mounting screws completely. Check the blade height again to ensure the
blades did not move while tightening the screws.
2. Carefully guide the shaver head through the hopper and back onto the motor shaft; realign
head with guide mark made on the shaft in Step 3 above. (The pusher handle may be used to
help press the shaver head onto the shaft.)

3. The shaver head set screws must be on the flat side of the motor shaft. Once aligned, fasten set
screws securely.
4. Adjust the motor to realign with guide mark made on the cabinet in Step 3, then refasten motor
mounting bolts (if unit has a hopper support and guide, it must also be reinstalled). Check the
shaver head to make sure it is not rubbing against the back of the hopper and the blades are not
touching the pusher handle or sides of hopper; adjust as needed.
Note: Replace any shims that were between the motor base and the mounting surface.
5. Reinstall motor cover.
