Can I run this off my car's cigarette lighter socket?
Yes, the machine comes with a cigarette lighter cable. However, for extended use and best performance, connecting via Anderson plug to a dual battery or power station is recommended.
Do I need an inverter?
No. This machine runs on pure 12V DC power, so no inverter is needed. It connects directly to your 12V system.
How long does it take to make a slushie?
Results vary depending on your liquid, ambient temperature, and fill level. For best results, pre-chill your liquid before adding it to the bowl.
What liquids can I use?
The machine is designed for juice, cordial, and pre-mixed beverages. Alcohol-based drinks can be made using the Frosted Cocktail mode, but high-alcohol content may affect freezing.
What is the minimum amount of liquid I can put in?
The minimum fill is 0.6L. Operating below this is not recommended.
Does it turn off automatically if the bowl is empty?
Yes. The machine has an auto-stop function that triggers when liquid runs low, protecting the unit from running dry.
Can I use it in a hot environment?
Yes, but allow adequate airflow. Keep at least 7.5cm of clearance around the machine for heat dissipation. Performance may vary in extreme ambient temperatures.
What refrigerant does it use?
R290, a natural and eco-friendly refrigerant that is both powerful and low in global warming potential.
Is there a rinse/clean function?
Yes. The machine has a dedicated Rinse mode on the control panel for easy cleaning between uses.
Can I run this off a portable power station?
Yes, as long as your power station supports 12V DC output at sufficient amperage (9A minimum recommended).
