NAME	PART	ICON	INTENDED USE	SPEED

NOTE: For detailed instructions on swapping blades, please see “CHANGING THE BLADE” section.

TEMPERING THE ICE PUCKS

Tempering Ice means allowing the ice to adjust at room temperature until it develops a glossy, wet look and is clear from all sides. Tempering is an important step for producing the lightest and fluffiest shave ice. Many factors determine the amount of time it takes to temper. In most cases, your ice puck should be ready to use in 10 minutes or less.

NOTE: Ice pucks made with plain water require tempering. For mixed base recipes, refer to the recipe details for tempering instructions.
The Ice Molds are used for best performance for both coarse and fine shaving. It’s easy to get shave ice from tempered ice out of the molds.
TIP: For the fluffiest shave ice, we recommend tempering the ice puck for 10 minutes, and then using the Fine Shaving Blade.

PRODUCT USAGE

ICE PUCK PREPARATION

Fill the ice mold with water or flavored ice base mixture of your choice.
NOTE: To keep the mold from overflowing while freezing, be sure not to fill past the fill line visible just below the rim of the mold.
Affix the lid to the top of the mold and place it in the freezer for 12 to 24 hours.
NOTE: Freezing time may vary and will depend both on the temperature of your freezer as well as the sugar or alcohol content of your mixture.

NOTE: See “Tips for Great Results” section below for more details on Ice Puck Preparation.

SET UP & ASSEMBLY – PREPARING TO MAKE SHAVE ICE

Before using your Shave Ice Attachment, clean it by following the detailed instructions in “CARE & CLEANING” section.

After removing the ice molds from the freezer, press firmly on the bottom and sides to help release the puck from the mold.
For Plain Ice recipes, allow ice to rest for up to 10 minutes – this is called “Tempering” and is recommended to achieve ideal Shave Ice results.
Turn the Stand Mixer off (OFF/0) and then unplug.
For Stand Mixer with a hinged attachment hub cover: Flip up to open.
For Stand Mixer with a removable attachment hub cover: Turn the attachment knob counterclockwise to remove the attachment hub cover.
Insert the Main Housing into the attachment hub, make sure the power shaft fits into the square hub socket. If necessary, rotate the attachment back and forth for proper fitment. The pin on the attachment housing will fit into the notch of the hub rim when in the proper position.
Tighten the Stand Mixer attachment hub knob clockwise until the attachment is completely secured into the Stand Mixer.
Ensure that the upper lever of the housing is rotated all the way to the left. If not, rotate it to the left until it clicks into place. This will ready the attachment for use and must be completed before loading the Ice Puck into the Ice Cup and attaching it to the housing.
Remove the Ice Cup from the housing by rotating it to the right and pulling downward. Take note of the small indicator arrow which must line up with the Lock and Unlock symbols on the housing.

OPTIONAL: If you wish to change the blade, grip the blade from the bottom and rotate it to right to unlock and remove.

ASSEMBLY

Grip the blade from the bottom and slowly insert it into the bottom of the Ice Cup by aligning the interlocking tabs. Once inserted, rotate the blade to the left until you hear a “Click“, to properly lock the blade in place.
NOTE: Each of the interlocking tabs is a unique size, ensuring the blade can only be installed in the correct position.
Insert the Ice Cup Sleeve into the Detachable Ice Cup, then insert a prepared Ice Puck. Be sure to insert the ice puck with the cross hatches facing upward.
Attach the Detachable Ice Cup to the bottom side of the main housing, rotating it to the left to lock it in place.
NOTE: The small indicator arrow on the Detachable Ice Cup should line up with the Lock and Unlock symbols on the main housing.
Release the top lever by gently rotating it to the right. The spring will engage as the Ice Pusher clamps down on the ice puck. The Shave Ice Attachment is properly loaded and ready to use.

SHAVING ICE

Place a serving dish of your choice beneath the Shave Ice Attachment. Do this before starting the mixer.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into an earthed outlet.
Do not remove earth prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Plug the Stand Mixer into an earthed outlet. Set the mixer to the highest speed to begin shaving.
NOTE: For best results, consider rotating the dish as the ice shaves to create a more even, cone-shaped mound of ice.
Once shaving is complete, turn off the mixer and return the upper lever to the leftmost locked position.
Remove the Ice Cup from the housing by rotating it to the right and pulling downward. Discard any remaining ice.
Finish your Shave Ice dessert with a variety of flavorings or toppings of your choice.

CHANGING THE BLADE

Grip the blade from the bottom and rotate to the right to remove, or to the left to install. Once inserted, rotate the blade to the left until you hear a “Click”, to properly lock the blade in place.
Each of the interlocking tabs is a unique size, ensuring the blade can only be installed in the correct position.

CARE AND CLEANING

IMPORTANT: Allow the appliance to cool completely before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
NOTE: Disassemble the unit properly before cleaning. For instructions, refer to the Set Up & Assembly section steps 7, 8, and optional.

The following parts are dishwasher-safe, top rack only: Detachable Ice Cup, fine and coarse blades, Plastic Ice Molds, Ice Cup Pusher, Ice Cup Sleeve and Lids.
Do not immerse Housing in water or other liquid. Wipe clean with a warm, damp cloth, and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth before re-use or storing. Or, clean them thoroughly in warm sudsy water and rinse completely before drying.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

Setting Up Your Shave Ice Attachment

It is recommended that you install your Shave Ice Attachment on the Stand Mixer first, before completing any other set up step.
To more easily install the clear plastic Ice Cup into the Upper Housing, look for the small black indicator arrow. This arrow must line up with the Lock/Unlock icons on the Upper Housing.
When switching blades, please note that the blades feature 3 uniquely sized tabs that must line up with their corresponding slots in the bottom of the ice cup. If the tabs are lined up incorrectly, the blade will not install.

Preparing Your Ice Molds

It is important to note the subtle fill line just below the top rim of the Ice Molds. Please do not fill the molds beyond this line as it may negatively affect freezing.
Allow ice molds to freeze for a minimum of 12 hours. Note that some mixed base recipes may require more time to freeze due to a variety of ingredients.
For recipes with sugar, there is a delicate balance between a mixture that is sweet to the taste but still capable of freezing hard enough to shave. Please follow recipes as closely as possible to ensure great results.
For recipes with Alcohol, you should not exceed above 8% within the mixture. This will help ensure the mixture freezes hard enough to shave.
Consider removing frozen ice pucks from the molds and storing them in another container inside your freezer. This is referred to as “Ice Harvesting” and will help ensure you always have ice on hand when the occasion calls for Shave Ice.

Making Shave Ice

Tempering is an important part of making great Shave Ice since an ice puck straight out of the freezer is actually too cold to shave. Tempering means allowing your ice puck(s) to warm slightly at room temperature, until the outside of the puck has a nice glossy sheen to it. This typically takes about 10 minutes.
NOTE: Ice pucks made with plain water require tempering. For mixed base recipes, refer to the recipe details for tempering instructions.
Some Shave Ice recipes, particularly those with ingredients frozen into the ice puck, may shave better with either the Fine or Coarse blade. It is recommended that you try out recipes with each blade to see which produces your desired result.

Shave Ice Troubleshooting Tips

Fine Blade Creates Coarse Ice – This can occur if the ice is still too cold. Consider extending the tempering time. Alternatively, check the blade for any possible damage as this can affect shave performance.
Puck Does Not Shave – This can occur when a recipe mixture is too soft or too hard. If the mixture is too soft, it may contain too much sugar or alcohol to freeze properly. Consider revisiting the recipe. If the mixture is too hard, the puck may need to temper for longer. See “Making Shave Ice”.
If issues persist, please contact KitchenAid customer service. Visit www.KitchenAid.com for contact information specific to your region.
