ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This product requires a properly-grounded 120 volt supply with a 15 amp circuit. The Sno-Storm and The Blizzard have a current draw of 5.7 amps (3 amps for 230 volt units); The Arctic Blast and The Cooler have a current draw of 5.3 amps (2.8 amps for 230 volt units).

We recommend your Paragon Sno-Cone Machine be plugged directly into a dedicated outlet. Extension cords may create a safety hazard and reduce its performance.
Be sure outlet accepts three (3) prong grounded plug. DO NOT use a three (3) prong to two (2) prong adapter.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much will my sno-cone machine produce?

Your sno-cone machine was engineered to shave 500 lbs. of cube or chunk ice per hour. Based on the ratio that a 1/2 lb. of ice will make a 6 oz. sno-cone, the Paragon Sno-Cone Machine will yield 1000 sno-cones per hour.

How much syrup should I use to flavor my sno-cones?

One 6 oz sno-cone will take 2 ounces of syrup – cones will not hold more than that.

Can I use block ice to make sno-cones?

You can use block ice to produce sno-cones if you first break it down into pieces 3-4 inches in size. Ice will not fit the horn if the pieces are too large.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Be sure equipment is connected to properly grounded 120 volt power supply with 15 amp circuit. (230 volts for export models)

Shaving Ice

1. Turn POWER switch ON (Not used on The Cooler and The Arctic Blast).
2. Fill the ice horn with ice.
3. Press and hold the MOTOR switch to activate blades and begin shaving ice.
4. While holding MOTOR switch down, apply steady downward pressure to the ice pusher
5. Release the MOTOR switch when finished.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 for additional batches.

Cleaning Procedures

1. Remove all ice from the ice horn and storage compartment.
2. Operate the motor for several minutes to remove any water collection on the cutter head.
3. Turn off the POWER switch. (Not used on all models.)
4. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
5. Using a clean cloth, wipe down the following items.
• The inner surface of the ice horn (Caution: Sharp Blades)
• The outside surface of the ice horn casting.
• The ice pusher.
• All interior and exterior surfaces.
6. To clean the water collection tray.
• Tilt tray to drain the water trapped in the drain cavity.
• Slip the drain hose off the nipple fitting.
• Lift the tray out of the cabinet
• Clean tray and area below tray with clean cloth.

Note: FDA approved cleaners may be used when required for sanitation.

BLADES ARE SHARP AND OPERATE AT HIGH SPEEDS! Please be sure to keep all body parts and any objects such as picks or scoops away from the ice horn while POWER is on!

MAINTENANCE OF CUTTING HEAD

Remove the Cutting Head (Caution: Sharp Blades)

1. Turn off the POWER switch. (Not used on all models.)
2. Rotate the cutting head until the set-screw is accessible through the discharge opening located inside the top panel of the storage cabinet.
3. Use a 1/8” hex wrench to loosen the set-screws.
4. Slide the cutting head off the motor shaft and remove the cutting head out of the top side, inlet, of the ice horn.

Cutting head blade replacement

1. Remove the two screws per blade.
2. Lift the old blades out.
3. Position the new blades on the head with the cutting edge extending between 1/32” to 1/16” out from the cutting head surface. This setting will control the granular size of the ice.
4. Use the blade screws to secure the blades to the head.

Installing the Cutting Head

1. Slide the cutting head down into the ice horn with the coupler end first.
2. As the cutting head is slipped onto the motor shaft, align the setscrews to the flat location of the motor shaft.
3. Tighten the setscrews with a 1/8” hex wrench.
