SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Sno-Konette
Installation Instructions
Inspection of Shipment:
Unpack all cartons and check thoroughly for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Damage claims should be filed immediately with the transportation company. Gold
Medal Products is not responsible for damage that occurs in transit.
Setup:
Your new Sno-Konette was assembled and tested at the factory.
Remove all packing material and tape before starting operation.
Electrical Requirements:
The following power supply must be provided:
120 Volt, 15 Amp, single phase, 60 cycle AC current
Your electrician must furnish sufficient power for proper machine operation. We recommend this machine be on a dedicated and protected circuit. Failure to wire properly will void the warranty and may result in damage to the machine.
It is Gold Medal Products Company’s recommendation that this machine be plugged directly into a wall outlet. The use of extension cords is not recommended due to safety concerns, and may cause sacrificed and/or reduced performance.
Before You Plug In Machine:
1. Make sure that the wall outlet can accept the three (3) prong grounded plug on the power supply cord.
2. The wall outlet must have the proper polarity. If in doubt, have a competent electrician inspect the outlet and correct if necessary.
3. DO NOT use a three (3) prong grounded to two (2) prong un-grounded adapter

Operating Instructions
After unpacking the Sno-Konette you should locate the pusher handle (packed in a separate
box). Connect the pusher handle to the shaver body by using the bolt and nut provided. Plug
the power cord into the appropriate electrical outlet.
To Operate the Sno-Konette:
1. Fill the hopper to within an inch from the top with ice cubes or block ice (no larger than 3
to 4 inches). The larger the pieces, the better the snow.
2. Switch the motor on, and wait for it to reach full speed (this will take a minute or so).
3. Press the pusher handle down against the ice in the hopper. Apply firm and even
pressure to make the best snow. Practice will enable you to gauge when to stop.
This allows the ice to resettle against the shaver head. You may find that you
need to relieve the pressure two or three times during a cycle. Too much pressure will
result in snow that is coarse; too little pressure will make the snow mushy.
NOTE: Never allow any foreign or metallic objects around the shaver area of the Sno-
Konette. Ice picks, scoops, and debris that may be in the ice often damage blades.
Ice Requirements:
The Sno-Konette can take ice cubes or block ice, if you break the block into pieces
approximately 3 to 4 inches in size.
NOTE: The ice will not enter the shaving chute if the pieces are too large.

Installing New Shaver Blades
Inspect your equipment before replacing the blades. Use a flashlight to examine the blades in
the shaver body. If the blades appear to be nicked or bent, then the blades should be replaced.
Follow this procedure:
1. Unplug the main power supply cord from the electrical outlet.
2. Remove the shaver head from the motor shaft by loosening the Allen head set screws (2)
between the motor and the hopper.
3. Remove the shaver head. Pull the shaver head off of the motor shaft and through the
hopper. If the shaver head is frozen onto the shaft, remove the hold down bolts on the motor.
Pull the motor back, trapping the shaver head against the inside of the hopper, until the
shaver head disengages.
4. After removing the shaver head, check the motor shaft for burrs and corrosion. Use a fine
tooth file to remove the burrs and corrosion.
5. Remove the blades from the shaver head. These blades may be sharpened, but it is far
better to replace the old blades with a new set.
6. Position the new blades and insert screws until they are finger tight.
7. Set the blade thickness equal to a dime. (See illustration below.) Make sure that the height is
even across the shaver head.
8. Tighten the blade screws completely. Check the blades again with a dime to ensure the
blades did not move while tightening the screws.
9. Replace the motor and shaver head. Mount the motor using the hold down bolts. Insert the
shaver head through the hopper and onto the motor shaft. Press the shaver head onto the
motor shaft with the pusher handle, then move the shaver head in another 1/8". Check that
the shaver head is not rubbing against the back of the hopper and the blades are not
touching the pusher handle.
10. Replace the set screws (2) between the hopper and the motor.
NOTE: Replace the shims that were between the motor base and the mounting surface.
