Freezing tips:
Only use Music City Margaritas concentrated mix in our machines. Our mix is specially formulated to freeze to the appropriate consistency. Other mixes will not necessarily freeze correctly and can actually Damage the Machine.
To speed up freezing time, keep the mixing jug with any extra pre-mixed product in a refrigerator. This will chill the mixture, thereby reducing the time required to freeze when you add to the machine.
The mixing instructions are also printed on the label of the concentrate for your convenience.
Empty drip trays as need throughout your event.
Mix can stain your clothes, floor or counter so be sure to clean up as soon as possible.
Trouble shooting tips.

Machine Leaking
Taylor or Wilch
If your machine leaks check the face plate, the (4) knobs in the front corners of the face plate should be tight to prevent leaks. Do not over tighten the face plate or it can break!
Carpigiani
Check the top hoppers, the barrel seal may have been knocked out of place. Remove the hopper and auger to place seal back on to the barrel. To remove the Hopper, gently lift up the entire hopper and pull it strait out. Next slide the auger off of the barrel, you should now be able to reposition the red seal around the barrel.
To reassemble the machine, place the auger back onto the barrel, then carefully slide the hopper back onto the barrel. You will need to reach inside the machine and gently lift the barrel while sliding the hopper into place. MAKE SURE THE RED SEAL DID NOT SLIP OFF AGAIN. The little cutouts on the bottom of the hopper should be lock into the base plate.
