Parts
After Taking the Unit Out of the Box
Wipe down the RETRO SERIES™ SLUSH MACHINE exterior with a clean, non-abrasive
cloth or sponge. Thoroughly wash Blending Chamber, Aluminum Cylinder, Cylinder
Cage and Lid in warm, sudsy water and thoroughly dry. DO NOT put the Base in water.

HOW TO OPERATE
1. First, nd a stable, waterproof surface near an electrical outlet before
starting. Make sure the cord is away from any water source.
2. DO NOT place the RETRO SERIES™ SLUSH MACHINE near the edge of a table or countertop.
3. Remove the Blending Chamber Lid by pinching the lock tab together
while lifting up on the Lid and carefully unhinging the front.
4. Fill the Aluminum Cylinder with small or broken pieces of ice through opening labeled
ICE AND SALT, to within 1 inch of the Aluminum Cylinder top.
Ensure that the Spout is in the closed position to avoid spillage.
5. Add ½ cup of regular table salt and ½ cup of water in the
Aluminum Cylinder (be sure to add salt rst then water in order
to mix well). Salt is necessary for the freezing process. It may
take ½ cup of salt or more for your slush to freeze properly.
Return the Lid to Blending Chamber, making sure it is aligned
properly over the mixing mechanism, locked down securely
to the clear mixing chamber, and lid is latched securely.
6. Slide the ON/OFF switch back to FREEZE to
turn the unit on and begin the slush making process. DO NOT turn the
unit OFF during use as the Aluminum Cylinder may freeze.
7. Pour your selected beverage directly into the unit through the molded square
indention located on the top of your RETRO SERIES™ SLUSH MACHINE. DO NOT ll
beyond the MAX FILL line (approximately 1 qt. of liquid).
Sugar-free beverages and alcoholic beverages will
not freeze. DO NOT use them in the machine.
NOTE: Do not use the slush maker to freeze liquids
without any sugar (such as water), as this may damage the
appliance. Water will freeze very quickly to the exterior
of the ice cylinder and could damage the unit.
8. Allow the mixture to blend for up to 15 minutes
until you reach the desired slush consistency.
NOTE: You can continually add ice and salt to the unit as you are creating slush by
dropping ice and salt into the round, open hole in the Lid above the Aluminum
Cylinder. DO NOT exceed lling the Aluminum Cylinder 1 inch from the top as
there is a risk that the slush mixture will become contaminated with salt.
9. When mixture reaches desired consistency, place cup under Spout and slide
the ON/OFF switch forward to DISPENSE. Turn the slush
dispenser handle to the right to dispense drink. Keep
unit running until all slush has been dispensed. Be sure
to turn handle back to CLOSE after lling each cup.
NOTE: If slush gets too thick, or does not dispense well,
add more liquid to the mixing chamber opening.

HELPFUL TIPS
• If Spout is sti during rst use, apply more force to turn the knob.
• Add more liquid to Blending Chamber if vacuum occurs around Cylinder during use.
• Blending Chamber must be rmly attached to Base or unit will not turn on.
• A towel placed under your RETRO SERIES™ SLUSH MACHINE, will
help with clean-up. You should expect some dripping.
• DO NOT store slush drinks in freezer or fridge. They should be consumed immediately.
• REMINDER: 32 ounces of liquid does not produce 32 ounces of slush.
You are creating slush and the liquid has solidied into ice.
Liquids
• Drinks with a high sugar or corn syrup base will crystallize faster and
produce a thicker slush than those with milk or lower sugar content.
Carbonated drinks will set up slower and will not be as thick.
• We recommend adding pre-chilled liquid to your RETRO SERIES™
SLUSH MACHINE. This will quicken the slush making process.
• Carbonated diet drinks and alcoholic beverages will not slush.
DO NOT add alcohol until the slush is poured into glasses.
• DO NOT use sti mixtures such as whipped cream or frozen liquids.
Mixture is Not Freezing
• DO NOT operate the unit longer than required. If after 15 minutes the
mixture has not yet achieved the slush consistency or has thawed again, do
not continue. Possible reasons for mixture not chilling or freezing:
1. The Aluminum Cylinder was not cold enough. Try adding more ice
and salt. Salt is a critical part of the freezing process and you will need
plenty of salt added to the ice for the slush to freeze properly.
2. The mixture was too warm.
3. Alcohol was added to the mixture. DO NOT add alcohol
until the slush is poured into glasses.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
1. After using your RETRO SERIES™ SLUSH MACHINE, disconnect from
electrical outlet. Remove plug by gripping the plug body and pulling
out of the outlet. Never yank or twist cord to unplug the unit.
2. Thoroughly wash the Blending Chamber, Aluminum Cylinder, Cylinder
Cage, Mixing Mechanism, Lid and Drip Tray in warm, sudsy water and
thoroughly dry. DO NOT put the Base in water. When needed, use a damp,
non-abrasive cloth to wipe exterior and then dry thoroughly.
3. Once washing and drying is complete, reassemble your RETRO SERIES™ SLUSH MACHINE.
4. NEVER immerse Base in water or put any parts in the dishwasher.
