• Do not place the appliance on or near a hot gas burner, hot electric burner, or in a heated oven.

• This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience of knowledge, if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

• This appliance is not a toy. Do not let children use this appliance. Close supervision is necessary when any kitchen appliance is used by or near children.

• To prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, do not put cord, plug, or appliance in or near water or other liquids. The Shaved Ice Maker is NOT dishwasher safe.

• Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of tables or counters.

• Refrain from using attachments that are not recommended by the appliance manufacturer, as this may result in fire, electric shock, or personal injury.

• Do not attempt to sharpen the blades.

• Do not operate the machine without ice. Do not use the appliance to shave or crush substances other than ice.

• Do not place your fingers in the appliance, as the blades are sharp and may cause injury.

• In order to prevent the Dash Shaved Ice Maker from overheating, do not operate this appliance for more than 5 minutes continuously. Allow the appliance to rest in between uses.

• Unplug the appliance prior to assembly/disassembly, moving, cleaning, storage, and when not in use. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.

• Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord, damaged plug, after the appliance malfunctions, is dropped, or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

• StoreBound shall not accept liability for damages caused by improper use of the appliance.

• Improper use of the appliance can result in property damage or even in personal injury.

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not completely fit in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

• A short power supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

The DASH DSIM200 includes the following parts and features:

• Locking Lid

• Ice Shaving Chamber

• Shaving Blade

• Consistency Adjustor Knob

• Main Body

• No-Slip Feet

• Stirring Paddle

• Serving Pitcher

• Removable Ice Shaving Cup

Prior to assembling your DASH DSIM200:

• Remove all packaging from the inside and outside of the Shaved Ice Maker.

• Check that the Maker has no visible damage and that no parts are missing.

• Ensure all parts and pieces are out of the packaging before discarding it.

• Before using for the first time (or after prolonged storage without use), wash any parts that will come into contact with food. See “Cleaning & Maintenance.”

• Prior to assembling the Shaved Ice Maker for use, ensure that the unit is NOT plugged into an electrical outlet. Do NOT assemble the Shaved Ice Maker when it is plugged into an electrical outlet.

The Consistency Adjustor Knob on the DASH DSIM200 has the following settings:

Follow these steps to assemble your DASH DSIM200:

1. Place the Main Body on a stable and dry surface.

2. Insert the Removable Ice Shaving Cup into the Ice Shaving Chamber.

3. Attach the Stirring Paddle to the peg on the inside of the Serving Pitcher. Then slide the Serving Pitcher into the Main Body using the shape of the Base and directional arrows as a guide.

4. Once pushed in all the way, turn the Serving pitcher all the way to the side as per the directional arrows on the base.

5. Once the Serving Pitcher is locked in, plug in the Power Cord to an electrical outlet.

To use your DASH DSIM200, follow these steps after assembly:

1. Place ice cubes into the Removable Ice Shaving Cup. For best results, use only medium-sized frozen cubes directly from the freezer. Do not place more than 8 ice cubes inside the Cup at once. Overloading the Shaving Cup can cause the chute to clog and prevent shaving.

2. Choose your desired consistency and turn the Consistency Adjustor Knob accordingly.

3. Cover with the Locking Lid and turn to lock as per the directional arrows on the Lid. Once locked, the Shaved Ice Maker will begin shaving ice and depositing the ice into the Serving Pitcher. For bigger batches, add ice cubes and shave in batches, taking care to add ONLY 8 medium-sized frozen cubes per batch. The Maker will shave one batch in about a minute.

NOTE: There is no power button for the Shaved Ice Maker. It begins shaving once the clear plastic Locking Lid is locked into place. It will also stop shaving when the Lid is unlocked or the machine is unplugged.

To prevent injury, always ensure the Shaved Ice Maker is not plugged into an electrical outlet before disassembling. Follow these steps:

1. Once the Shaved Ice Maker is unplugged, remove the Locking Lid. Then remove the Removable Ice Shaving Cup.

2. If you have not already, remove the Serving Pitcher by turning the Pitcher handle toward the front of the Maker to unlock and slide it out. Then remove the Stirring Paddle.

WARNING: The Shaving Blade in the Shaved Ice Maker is sharp! Handle the Shaved Ice Maker with care. Do not put hands near the Shaving Blade while the Shaved Ice Maker is connected to the power outlet.

Prior to Cleaning:

• Disassemble the Shaved Ice Maker as per instructions.

• When cleaning, exercise caution to avoid touching the Shaving Blade as the blade is very sharp and could cause injury.

• 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.

• To clean all other parts besides the Main Body, hand wash with a sponge, warm water, and mild detergent.

• Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents to clean the appliance as they may damage it.

• Dry all parts thoroughly before storing.

Cleaning Tip: Ice in the Ice Shaving Chamber will melt to some extent before being shaved. The water from this will drip down through the Maker and may pool on your countertop. To keep the counter clean and tidy, have a dish towel handy or place the Shaved Ice Maker on a tray prior to 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 medium-sized ice cubes at once and to shave in batches.

The DASH DSIM200 Shaved Ice Maker has three settings (Coarse, Medium, Fine) that correspond to different levels of shaving to achieve different ice consistencies. Make sure you have chosen a setting appropriate for your recipe by consulting the consistency guide.

1. First, prepare your syrup. Blend or purée fruit (e.g., strawberries, mango, pineapple, blueberries, or grapes) in a food processor or blender.

2. Pour the purée into a saucepan and add the other syrup ingredients (water, sugar, juice). Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until boiling. Turn heat to low and continue to simmer for five minutes then remove from heat. Strain if necessary and place in fridge to chill prior to adding to ice.

3. Assemble the Dash Shaved Ice Maker.

4. Shave the ice using the Shaved Ice Maker. Pour a tablespoon or two of fully chilled syrup over the shaved ice and enjoy!
