@hypegurlqp: Tip: 🍸Chill the liquid in the fridge before adding it to the machine if you want a quick slushy and turn around time! 🍸My advice... after figuring it out the hard way about 4 times lol.... is to set the machine to the coldest setting -9.9 and as it's freezing, if you notice a consistency you like, you would stop the machine from freezing more, by hitting the freeze button off. Once you have discovered the temperature you like slushy wise (because you just stopped the machine at it...just read the temperature of the liquid inside) then set the machine to that temperature. It will automatically freeze on and off to maintain that temperature. 🍸Example: I noticed I like the consistency at level -8.0 as it was working its way to -9.9, so I stop my machine from going to -9.9 and I set the machine to stay at level -8.0. 💃
