DISASSEMBLING THE SHAVED MAKER
To prevent injury, always ensure that the Shaved Ice Maker is not plugged into an electrical outlet before assembling or disassembling.

- No part of the Shaved Ice Maker is dishwasher safe. You must hand wash all pieces.
- DO NOT submerge the Main Body of the Shaved Ice Maker in water or other liquids.
TO CLEAN
- To clean the Main Body of the Shaved Ice Maker including the Ice Shaving Chamber and Shaving Blade, wipe down with a damp cloth then dry thoroughly. When cleaning the Ice Shaving Chamber, exercise caution near the Shaving Blade as it is sharp and may cause injury.

TROUBLESHOOTING
While Dash products are durable, you may encounter one or more of the problems listed below. If the issue is either not solved by the solutions recommended below or not included on this page, please contact our Customer Support Team at 1-800-898-6970 or support@bydash.com.
ISSUE | SOLUTION |
Ice is jamming in the Ice Shaving Chamber and the Maker is not shaving. | The Ice Shaving Chamber may be overloaded. Try using a smaller amount of ice at one time. For best results, it's recommended to use about 8 mediumsized ice cubes at once and to shave in batches. |
The ice is not the consistency I want for what I'm making. | The Shaved Ice Maker has three settings that correspond to different levels of shaving to achieve different ice consistencies. Make sure you have chosen a setting appropriate for your recipe using the chart. |
