CLEANSE PRODUCT BEFORE FIRST USE
Detach tank from motor base by sliding the 3 LOCK/UNLOCK
switches located on this unit to the unlock position. (Fig. A)
Gently remove the tank from the base. Pour warm soapy water
into the tank and dispense all of the soapy water through the
spigot to clean both tank and spigot. Rinse by pouring water into
the tank and dispense through the spigot until no soapy residue
remains.
Once the upper portion has been satisfactorily rinsed out, dry both interior and exterior
sides of the tank thoroughly with a soft non-abrasive clean dry towel.
Replace the upper portion (tank) onto the base, making sure spigot fits properly in “U”
shaped cut out in front of unit.
Slide the 3 LOCK/UNLOCK buttons to the LOCK position.
USING YOUR MARGARATOR – A QUICK START GUIDE
1. Securely place Margarator on level surface.
2. Plug your AC cord into your electrical outlet.(See Fig. B for
bottom of unit location and storage of the electrical cord.)
3. Check the black plastic grinding cage collar inside of unit
to make sure it is locked in place (Fig. E).
4. Fill the unit with ice to the top of the Max Fill line (Fig. C).

QUICK START GUIDE (Continued)
5. FOR MARGARITAS; Pour 3 parts
concentrated mix (approx. 45 ounces) to
1 part Tequila (approx. 15 ounces). For a
slushier mix, less liquid is recommended OR
ADD MORE ICE. More liquid can always be
added by turning and opening the clear
window in the lid, after mixing to achieve the
desired consistency.
6. Place lid on unit. Line up the arrows (One
downward arrow on the black lid and one
upward arrow on the clear polycarbonate tank)
to find the correct fit. (This is a safety lock and
the unit will not turn on without the lid in correct
position). Lift the handle to a straight up
position to lock the unit. (Fig. D)
7. Turn the unit on and with the handle in a
straight up position, begin the slush process.
Blend for about 10 minutes or to desired
consistency.
8. The lid must be on and the handle must be in upright position for unit to operate!
While the unit is still on, place glass or a container under spigot and dispense the
chosen drink by pushing the spigot up. It is recommended to have a towel under the
spigot to protect against any drips. NOTE: the spigot has a locking upright position
for filling multiple drink glasses or a pitcher of drinks.
9. If spigot drips after dispensing, place glass or container under spigot and open and
close the valve by pushing down and “snapping” the spigot once or twice quickly.
Small ice chips can sometimes get caught inthe gasket preventing it fromclosing
completely.
10. Turn off the unit when desired consistency is achieved and it will keep the Margarita
mix cold.
11. ALWAYS DISPENSE WITH MARGARATOR RUNNING. Allow the unit to run for 8
seconds to mix before dispensing if unit has been sitting.
NOTE: WHEN LID IS REMOVED WHILE THE MACHINE IS RUNNING, THE MOTOR
WILL STOP RUNNING UNTIL LID IS PROPERLY REPLACED.

6.
REMOVING AND SETTING THE STAINLESS GRINDING
CAGE
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THIS THE STAINLESS STEEL GRINDING CAGE IS
ASSEMBLED PROPERLY FOR YOUR UNIT TO WORK.
1. Inside the unit is a stainless steel grinding cage
and round plastic collar to lock the grinding cage into
place**.
2. Place the stainless steel grinding cage with the
smooth side (opposite of the 3 tab side) into the
plastic collar and twist until the notch of the stainless
steel grinding cage locks into the protrusion on the
plastic collar. (See illustration to the right).
3. Turn the assembled grinding cage (with plastic cover) over, so black plastic collar is
on the top to insert into the base of tank.
4. Looking down into the interior of the tank, you will see 2
Stainless Steel screws. This is where the clips attached to
the plastic collar lock the grinding mechanism down. (Fig. E,
Page 4)
5. When putting the collar into position, align the plastic collar
with the tabs with the indented postpositions. With firm but
gentle pressure, press the collar down until the tabs “click”
into place.
6. Once everything is in place, make sure the clips are pushed inward toward the
screws to lock the unit into position, (Fig. E, Page 4) and lift slightly to insure the
cage is in fact locked into position properly and will not release.
**THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! IF THE COLLAR IS NOT LOCKED PROPERLY - THE
UNIT WILL GRIND BUT WILL NOT DISPENSE. Lock and unlock clips carefully, to
avoid breaking. Your STAINLESS STEEL MARGARATOR™ is now ready to fill with your
favorite liquid and use again.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT SUBMERGE CLEAR TANK IN WATER!
