The Best Spot to Place Your Slushie Machine!

Must-haves to leave a slushie machine with you safely.

The slushie machine needs to sit on a strong, sturdy table (STRICTLY NO GLASS TOP OR PLASTIC TRESTLE TABLES). When filled, the machine weighs over 80kg.
Slushie machine/s also need to be NEAR A POWER POINT.
Machine/s must be UNDERCOVER and out of all the elements of the weather.

NO DIRECT SUNLIGHT or exposure to RAIN/DAMPNESS or SPRINKLERS.
Machine/s need to be placed on HARD, FIRM, and EVEN GROUND.

NOTE: If the machine/s are to go onto a grassed area, you will need to provide a solid table with legs that won’t sink into the ground. (STRICTLY NO GLASS TOP OR PLASTIC TRESTLE TABLES.)
If the machine/s are going to be placed in a MARQUEE, we will need to be notified in advance, so the machine is delivered after the marquee is up.
We also need to be informed of the time the MARQUEE is coming down, so the machine/s are collected prior and not left without shelter.

How long does the mix take to turn to slush?

It takes about 1.5 HOURS to turn your mix into slush, as long as it’s not a very hot day.

Refills take only half the time to reach slushie mix once the machine is running!

If the weather forecast calls for a hot day, we STRONGLY RECOMMEND setting the slush machine/s up indoors.

If the slush machine/s are set up outdoors, they need to be placed UNDERCOVER and NOT EXPOSED to DIRECT SUNLIGHT.

Hot weather not only prevents the slush machine/s from working at an optimum level, but it can also melt the plastic lids (which are not cheap, and replacement will be at the Hiree’s expense).
