Nostalgia Snow Cone Maker RSM602 HELPFUL TIPS

ICE CUBES

Ice cubes should sit outside of the freezer a short while before putting them in the shaving unit. If ice has a frosty appearance, it is too hard to shave. Let ice sit until it is translucent and wet to the touch. Then it is ready to put in the Ice Shaving Canister.

SHAVED ICE

In order to prevent messes

• Place unit on a waterproof surface while in use.
• After you are finished making snow cones, make sure to empty Ice Shaving Canister and Main Unit so that ice does not melt onto surface.
