What would make the ice turn gray atter making a few cones?

Ours did the same thing. My husband had to re-vamp the grinder as it was rubbing. Our first time using it was a total mess too. We thought about returning it but my husband fixed it somehow but I could not tell you for sure what he did. He is a machine designer so he could see what the problem was.....

My thought is the oil preservative on the blades I flushed ours with warm water and bleach then ran 5 lbs of ice then repeat. Love ours besides a small safety switch adjustment it hasn't had an issue.

I just installed this ice maker and am having the same issue. The ice comes off in a big block and does not separate without beating on it with the scoop. Still does not completely separate. We have reduced the temperature and it is a bit better. Going to reduce the temp a couple more degrees and see if that is the fix.

I would say yes - can be used to make snow cones. The ice is truly shaved and very fluffy before the blender takes over. Imagine that you could simply use the manual shave control and shave ice into one of the pitchers then make snow cones from there. Sort of an expensive snow cone maker though....but a good idea for a secondary use.

FRANK, also make sure you use some/all of the grip sand with the clear, or when wet / snow etc. it will be like GLAIR ICE / very slipply / if that will be an issue for you. PAUL K.

I'm not sure since I've never made one.....the issue that I had was with too much ice and frozen product. When we added some additional liquid it worked well.

The only way I know if the deicer is working is if there is ice formed all the way around it, I wiggle the cord and if it is floating freely, it is working. The heat is on the underside so there really is no other way that I know to check it. Just don't let snow build up on it as it make cock sideways or sink.

Sounds as you have the crushed ice setting in therrefrigertor. The unit makes then solid if it does not something is sticking.

hi, i normal use a butter contanier but you can use almost anything. i normally buy blocks of ice from a local snow cone stand and break it in half

small, medium and large ice "cubes", but they look more like mushroom caps. :) Very slight differences in thickness of the walls of the ice.

No Shirley This unit has a shaving blade that does a great job of making cones but it dose not crush ice. We use it to shave dry ice into powder and it does this better than another unit we have ever used.

This produces very small chips, the chips would be larger than the crushed ice in a snow cone, but still tiny chips. I hope this helps.

The cone is a 05 and the color when wet is med gray. but it fires to a white finish.

Don't fill the ice too full. That may be it, but other than that, I am unsure. Hopefully it isn't defective.

I had the same problem and returned the unit. I did, however, take that "milky" mixture and froze it and it was an OK ice cream .......not how it should be made !!

One tray makes 6-8 cones, I would guess a ten pound bag would fill the tray 4 or 5 times. Hope that helps the cone cups don't need much ice.

The electric valve that controls water level in ice maker put too much water in the tray which made it too hard to turn the prongs that dump the ice. I replaced that valve and that cured the problem.

It works with ice or no ice as soon as you twist the lid to "ON". One time I put too much ice and unable to turn it on. Other than that my grand children really enjoy and I think this is one of the safest and best snow Cone Machine.
