Sno-Kone Machine Instructions

Beat the Heat with an Icy Treat!

A quick note

Ice will melt during use. If you’re indoors, plan to catch the drain water in a bucket or pan. Be sure you’re within range of power.

Ice planning tip

Customer supplies the ice. Use regular ice cubes.
Plan on about ½ lb of ice per serving. (Example: 20 servings ≈ 10 lbs of ice.)

If operating outside, locate a sturdy table on a level area, keeping in mind that ice will slowly melt and drain out through the drain tube onto the ground. If operating inside, use a small bucket or pan to catch the water from melting ice. Be sure to be within range of power.
Set the drain tray on a sturdy table with the drain tube hanging over the edge of the table.
Set the Sno-Kone machine in the drain tray, furthest from the edge of the table.
Remove any bottles of syrup, pumps, or pour spouts from the machine.

Using a pour spout

Remove the cap and replace with the pour spout, fitting the spout snugly into the bottle.
To dispense, turn the bottle upside down onto the ice. Repeat as necessary (usually once or twice).
Do not squeeze the bottle. Please return all bottles, caps, and pour spouts that may have been provided.

Using a pump

Remove the cap and seal from the gallon bottle and replace with the pump assembly.
Prime the pump by squirting some syrup into a cup and discard.
If all syrup is not used, it can be stored for another occasion if the cap is not discarded.

Open the lid on top of the machine. Using the larger scoop, put regular ice cubes into the ice hopper. Fill to just below the edge of the hopper. Close the lid.
Reminder: Customer supplies the ice.
While holding the lid handle, press and hold the red button located on the back of the machine to start the grinder. Using the lid handle, apply pressure during the grinding process.
Tip: Lighter pressure produces a finer snow.
Do not put your hand into the ice hopper.
To serve, scoop the snow from inside the machine (using the smaller scoop), place into a cone/cup, and add syrup.
