As a practical electrical appliance, the shaved ice machine has a wide range of applications in the field of cold drink making. In addition to the basic use of making cold drinks, the shaved ice machine also has many creative applications, such as making ice sculptures, ice wine, ice coffee, etc. Its advantages are high efficiency, convenience, fine adjustment, diversified applications and improved quality. When using the shaved ice machine, you need to pay attention to safe operation, maintenance, ice selection and storage methods. Today, this article will lead you to focus on the precautions for using this shaved ice machine.
1. Power supply safety
The shaved ice machine is usually an electric device, so power supply safety is very important. First of all, before use, check whether the wires and plugs are intact to avoid accidents such as electric shock or short circuit caused by damaged wires. When operating, be sure to keep your hands dry and avoid wet hands from touching the power plug or switch to reduce the risk of electric shock. At the same time, when using the shaved ice machine, you need to ensure that the voltage matches the equipment requirements. Too high or too low voltage may cause damage to the machine.
2. Ice selection
The operating effect of the shaved ice machine is closely related to the selection of ice cubes. When using, you should choose ice cubes that are suitable for the machine specifications, and avoid ice cubes that are too large or too hard, which may not only cause the machine to get stuck, but also damage the blades. In order to ensure that the shaved ice tastes refreshing, it is recommended to use ice cubes frozen with pure water, so as to avoid the influence of impurities on the quality of shaved ice.
3. Avoid contact with the blades with your hands
The shaved ice machine is usually equipped with sharp blades or scrapers. During use, be sure to avoid contact between your hands or other objects and the blades. Especially when cleaning the machine, make sure that the power is turned off and use appropriate tools to operate it to avoid injury.
4. Do not overload during operation
When using the shaved ice machine, you should not put too much ice cubes at one time. Too much ice cubes may cause the machine to be overloaded, affect the shaved ice effect, and even damage the equipment. It is recommended to put in an appropriate amount of ice cubes at one time and operate according to the design capacity of the machine. In addition, if the shaved ice machine is manually operated, the user should apply moderate force as needed to avoid mechanical failure caused by excessive force.
5. Regular cleaning and maintenance
The shaved ice maker needs to be cleaned in time after use, especially the parts that come into contact with ice, such as the blade and ice bin, to avoid residual ice residue affecting the next use. When cleaning, make sure to cut off the power supply to avoid safety accidents caused by misoperation. In addition, some machines may require regular lubrication or maintenance to ensure long-term stable operation. For electric shaved ice machines, regularly checking whether the motor, blade and other parts are loose or worn can effectively extend their service life.
6. Avoid long-term continuous use
The shaved ice machine will generate a certain amount of heat when working. Long-term continuous operation may cause the machine to overheat or even damage. In order to ensure the normal operation of the machine, it is recommended to use it for no more than 30 minutes each time, and let the machine rest properly to avoid continuous use exceeding the workload of the equipment.
