How much will my Snow Cone machine Produce?
Your snow cone machine was engineered to shave 500 lbs. of cube or chunk ice per hour. Based on the ratio that a 1/2 lb. of ice will make a 6 oz. sno-cone, the Paragon Snow Cone Machine will yield 1000 snow cones per hour.
How much syrup should I use to flavor my snow cones?
One 6 oz snow cone will take 2 ounces of syrup – cones will not hold more than that.
Can I use block ice to make snow cones?
You can use block ice to produce snow cones if you first break it down into pieces 3-4 inches in size. Ice will not fit the horn if the pieces are too large.

Be sure your snow cone machine is connected to properly grounded 120 volt power supply with 15 amp circuit

DID YOU KNOW

Snow cones - in one form or another - have been around for centuries. But it wasn't until the late 1800's that vendors in New Orleans popularized "snow cones", cool treats shaved from blocks of ice. A motorized ice shaver was patented in the 1930's. Today, customers can choose from shaved or crushed ice, as well as dozens of flavors and toppings.

Fun Snow Cone Facts:

• During the Roman Empire (27 B.C. to A.D. 395), people brought snow down from the mountains and mixed it with syrup to create the world's first frozen dessert.
• People used hand held wood planes to make the first snow balls.
