Operating the machine: Once you have your 3 gallons of mix poured into the hopper, go ahead and press the power button.
Once the power is on, the next thing to do is tell the machine to freeze the mixture. For this, use the snowflake button. The snowflake button has 3 settings: off, chill, and ice. For frozen drinks, choose ICE and be sure to do this on both sides of the machine if applicable. It could take up to 2 minutes for the compressor to kick on and up to 2 hours for the mixture to freeze, depending on ambient temperature.
Powering down: Press the snowflake button to “off”. After about 3 minutes, you’ll hear the compressors and fan shut down. Once the compressors are shut down, simply press power.
