BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Carefully unpack your Cuisinart
™
Snow Cone
Maker. Remove plastic bags from all parts of
the unit. Be sure that the unit has not been
damaged during transport. Do not leave plastic
bags around children.
2. Rinse the snow bin with water and a non-
abrasive cleanser, and then dry thoroughly.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place unit on a fl at, sturdy surface where it will
not be knocked over.
2. Check ice chute for presence of foreign
objects before plugging in. WARNING: DO
NOT TOUCH BLADE.
3. Insert the removable snow bin onto the main
housing. An interlock safety feature will prevent
the unit from turning on if not properly in place.
4. Be sure that the toggle switch is set to the OFF
position and plug into an outlet.
5. To begin shaving ice, drop approximately
8–12 ice cubes (depending on size and
shape) into the ice chute. Do not overfi ll or
the interlock safety feature will prevent the
shaving mechanism from turning on. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO PUSH ICE CUBES INTO BLADE
USING HANDS OR INSTRUMENTS.
6. Flip the toggle switch to the ON position and
fi rmly push the ice press down to start the
ice-shaving mechanism.
7. When shaving multiple batches of ice cubes,
it is important to fl atten the snow in the snow
bin. You will notice a mound of snow is formed
directly under the ice-crushing mechanism,
and if not fl attened this could stop the shaving
mechanism from operating properly. To fl atten,
simply remove the snow bin and either empty
freshly shaved snow into another container
or fl atten within the snow bin using the ice
scooper.
8. When all the ice has been shaved, turn the
toggle switch to the OFF position and unplug.
9. Remove the snow bin from the main housing
and use the ice scooper to shape your snow
cones.
10. Add ingredients specifi ed in the recipe
section or as desired.
IMPORTANT NOTICE

motion into the ice chute when crushing ice.
Under normal operation, you will hear a consistent
grinding of the ice. (Image 1)
Twisting the ice press to the LEFT or RIGHT
(instead of straight down) when crushing ice may
cause the pusher to come in contact with the
blade, resulting in a LOUD CRACKING NOISE.
