Loved it when it worked - bought and returned 4 Margarators. First one lasted 6 mos, others less, one didnt work right outta the box. Really an awesome idea because you can take the top off of the motor and it keeps your margaritas frozen for hours. We took it camping and plugged it into the lighter.

CLEANING THE UNIT (Continued)
YOU MAY find a need to remove and clean the stainless grinding cage from the inside base of the tank (trapped citrus pulp, etc.) Refer to the directions below to perform this function.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT PUT TANK IN DISHWASHER!
REMOVING AND SETTING THE STAINLESS GRINDING CAGE
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THIS THE STAINLESS STEEL GRINDING CAGE IS ASSEMBLED PROPERLY FOR YOUR UNIT TO WORK.
1.Inside the unit is a stainless steel grinding cage
and round plastic collar to lock the grinding cage into place**.
2.Place the stainless steel grinding cage with the smooth side (opposite of the 3 tab side) into the plastic collar and twist until the notch of the stainless steel grinding cage locks into the protrusion on the
plastic collar. (See illustration H). | G |
3.Turn the assembled grinding cage (with plastic cover) over, so black plastic collar is on the top to insert into the base of tank.
4.Looking down into the interior of the tank, you will see 2 Stainless Steel screws. This is where the clips attached to the plastic collar lock the grinding mechanism down.
(Illustration H)
5.When putting the collar into position, align the plastic collar with the tabs with the indented postpositions. With firm but gentle pressure, press the collar down until the
tabs “click” into place. | H |
6.Once everything is in place, make sure the clips are pushed inward toward the screws to lock the unit into position, (Illustration H) and lift slightly to insure the cage is in fact locked into position properly and will not release.
**THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! IF THE COLLAR IS NOT LOCKED PROPERLY - THE UNIT WILL GRIND BUT WILL NOT DISPENSE. Lock and unlock clips carefully, to avoid breaking. Your MARGARATOR™ is now ready to fill with your favorite liquid and use again.
