The Americana Collection 34oz. Capacity Slushie Drink Maker, Model EIM-9268, is a household appliance designed for making slushie drinks. This instruction manual provides detailed information on its operation, safety precautions, and maintenance to ensure safe and satisfactory use.

Function Description:

The EIM-9268 is a specialized kitchen appliance that shaves ice to create slushie drinks. It features an ice holder, a mixing paddle, and a pitcher where ingredients are combined and processed. The device is designed for non-commercial, non-industrial, household use in the preparation of food for human consumption. It offers a control dial to select desired settings, allowing users to customize the consistency of their slushies.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Capacity: 34 ounces
  • Model Number: EIM-9268
  • Power Cord: Short power cord provided to reduce entanglement and tripping risks. Longer power-supply cords or extension cords can be used with care, ensuring their electrical rating is at least as great as the product's.
  • Plug Type: Polarized plug (one blade wider than the other) for electrical shock reduction.
  • Certifications: ETL Listed (Intertek US)

Usage Features:

The slushie drink maker is designed for straightforward operation:

  1. Assembly:
    • Place the Ice Holder securely on the shaft in the Main Body. Twist the shaft in the direction of the arrow to lock it into position.
    • Place the Mixing Paddle in the Pitcher.
    • Add desired ingredients into the Pitcher.
    • Insert the Pitcher into the Main Body and turn it clockwise to lock it into place.
  2. Operation:
    • Use the Control Dial to select the desired setting (e.g., COARSE or FINE, as indicated on the control dial in the image).
    • Place the Lid on the Main Body.
    • Turn the Lid counterclockwise to turn the appliance ON.
    • Turn the Lid clockwise to stop the operation.
  3. Serving:
    • To remove the Pitcher, turn it counterclockwise and slide it out.
    • Serve the prepared slushie.

Safety Features and Precautions:

The manual emphasizes several important safeguards to ensure user safety:

  • Child Safety: Not intended for use by children. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Exercise extra caution when used near children.
  • Unattended Operation: Do not leave the appliance unattended while in use. Always unplug when not in use.
  • Immersion: Do not immerse the Base, Power Cord, or Plug in water or any other liquids. This is a critical caution, as immersion can damage the motor housing and pose an electrical hazard.
  • Attachments: Only use attachments recommended or sold by the manufacturer.
  • Placement: Do not place on or near hot gas/electric burners, heated ovens, or other hot surfaces. Use on a sturdy, flat surface, away from flammable materials like curtains or clothing.
  • Handling: Use extreme caution when moving the appliance with food or liquids.
  • Ventilation: Use in a well-ventilated area, maintaining 4-6 inches of space on all sides for adequate air circulation.
  • Wet Hands: Do not plug or unplug with wet hands.
  • Intended Use: For household use only; not for outdoor use or purposes other than its intended function.
  • Empty Operation: Do not operate when empty.
  • Cord Management: Do not let the cord hang over table/counter edges where it can be tripped or pulled. Keep the cord away from hot surfaces.
  • Damage: Do not operate if the power cord or plug is damaged, wires are exposed, it malfunctions, or if the motor housing has been immersed in water. Do not attempt to examine or repair the appliance yourself.
  • Stress on Cord: Avoid putting stress on the power cord connection to the appliance.
  • Moving Parts: Avoid contact with moving parts during operation.
  • Polarized Plug: If the plug does not fit the outlet, reverse it. If it still doesn't fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not alter the plug or extension cord.

Maintenance Features:

Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the appliance:

  • Before Cleaning: Always remove the power cord from the socket.
  • Housing: Do not immerse the housing with the motor in water or any other liquid. Clean the outside of the housing with a damp cloth only.
  • Abrasive Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners.
  • Removable Parts: Components that come into contact with food (e.g., Pitcher, Mixing Paddle, Ice Holder) can be cleaned with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
  • Drying: Allow all parts to dry thoroughly before reassembling the device.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children.
  • Dishwasher: Do not put parts in the dishwasher.

First Use Note:

Upon first use, a slight odor or small amount of smoke may be noticed due to the heating element's chemical reaction. This is normal and should dissipate quickly.
